A Craigslist ‘missed connection’ showdown!

I LOVE it when people get into arguments on Craigslist! And it’s even better when it’s on the m4m missed connection portion – it’s so catty!

In this particular public argument, two people go at it with such fervor:

dear asshole checkout boy at rainbow grocery. – m4m (mission district)

i waited the extra 10 minutes to get in your line because you kept staring at me. you were pretty cute, even after i noticed your love handles. i was purchasing some pretty expensive herbs and probiotics because i have been sick lately and they are the only thing that make me feel better. i came in specifically on thursday because of the 20% off coupon. i forgot my coupon this morning the rush out of my house. i asked if i really need the coupon because i had forgotten it. you responded with the most snide and eat shit “yeah” i think i have ever heard. thank you for being so fucking rude and not swiping that coupon you have on top of your register for me. you owe me $15. i’m a poor student. that could have fed me for a day. thank you for putting a damper on my morning. i hope the rest of your day is plagued with extremely annoying new wave burning man hippies and that your line never ends.

my favorite line from abfab: “you can drop the attitude. you just work in a shop.”

…and then someone answers:

Dear Rainbow Grocery Shopper – m4m (mission district)

Rainbow Grocery is expensive! What the hell is a cheap-skate “poor student” doing shopping there? Methinks you’re more upset that he didn’t slip you his number than you are about the $15.

I’m hoping you’re not majoring in English.

…then it gets GOOD:

Re: dear asshole checkout boy at rainbow grocery. – m4m

You’re the poor, whiny candy ass who can’t even afford to get by in this town and you’re criticizing ME? A student huh? Well for being so supposedly “youthful and slender” you look pretty lousy. Here I thought Clay Aiken was the ugliest gay guy under 30.

Perhaps you’d be a happier more contented and less lonely person if you went straight? Stop stalking me at work! You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

At least I can support myself and don’t ask for handouts. I don’t just work there I own a piece of the store genius. I also don’t stalk people as you obviously do.

Some of this doesn’t even make sense which makes it even more enjoyable…and I don’t think that it’s only 2 people. I am so tempted to go hang out at Rainbow Grocery just to see this kind of action.
