Missed Connections: Orange Is The New Aphrodisiac Edition

Because really, who doesn't like a little handcuff action?

Missed Connections: "Hey! I Know That Girl!" Edition

As I've mentioned before, I read the Craigslist Missed Connections on the regular. Unfortunately, I never recognize the people being described in the posts... until today! Because my sister is an ER nurse and my Dad is a 911 Commander, I know quite a few paramedics, firefighters, police officers, etc. I opened this Missed Connection because I had a strong feeling I may know the person being secretly admired.

It turns out, the post was for my friend Melissa who may be coming to Ireland/England with me next fall! I immediately sent her a message and she said the post was definitely for her. I told her to send the mystery man an email back. If the two of them hit it off and get married, I expect some sort of prize or at least an endorsement deal with Craigslist.

Missed Connections work! ;)

Missed Connections: Breaking Amish Edition

Per usual, I've regularly been perusing the best reading material online; the Craigslist Missed Connections. Lately, there just haven't been any posts worthy of sharing... until I came across this one. The dry spell has been broken:

Missed Connections: Time Traveling Snow Bunny Edition

This one was too good not to share. I'm open-minded and naive to a fault. I actually want to believe this person is some sort of interdimensional being.

Missed Connections: Love & Romance Edition

This one tugged at my heart strings a bit (you may have to click the image to enlarge)...

Missed Connections: Horror Edition

Earlier this week, I mentioned that I troll the missed connections section of craigslist for kicks and giggles. I stated that the boards contain every genre of literature imaginable. I wasn't lying. Over the years, I've had my fair share of "swimfans" but the post below takes it to an entire new level. Check out this frightening piece of work (you may have to click the image to enlarge):

Missed Connections- Valentine's Day Edition

I admit it. I read the missed connections section on craigslist. It's a fantastic form of entertainment. The posts cover all the genres- humor, horror, romance, etc. Despite Valentine's Day falling on a Monday this year, I imagine the missed connections section of the site will be overflowing with hopeless romantics. I'll be posting the ads that I find the sweetest, funniest and/or creepiest. Perhaps I can help someone find their long lost lover or just the girl they didn't have the courage to hit on at the grocery store. Fingers crossed for some quality postings!



CREEPY/FUNNY:

We work next to each other all day at the office.... - m4w - 30 (Pittsburgh)
Date: 2011-02-14, 4:00PM EST

We work in cubicles near each other all day and everytime I get a chance I steal a glimpse of your ass as you stand up or your breasts as you lean back into your seat. I want nothing more in the world than for you to stay late one day, you always leave early, and have you get on your knees and crawl slowly to me where you would take me in your warm mouth and suck me till I'm drained. If you think this is you reply with the name of the place we work as the subject of the email and I will treat you very very well this weekend.


ROMANTIC... OR NOT:

I've gone in there to get serviced in the adult arcade part of the store a few times and noticed you working there, a couple of times you had a friend in there, also thick and chocolatey, talking to you while you worked. I would do anything and I mean ANYTHING for you to join me in the back room the next time I come in there. And if you are too shy or on the clock, this offer is for your friend as well.

Dear Cecilia,

Would you consider having tea with a female CMU student?
I am twenty-seven, health-conscious, and I have a pleasant face.
I consider myself to be a fair and tolerant person.

Thank you.
