Default Wow... more Craigslist fun

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it's funny.
I can't believe some of the listings I have found on Craigslist People trying to sell services or stuff and their descriptions are just great!

Would you trust this guy to work on the headlights on your car?

wouldn't let anyone else touch my lights. $10 does seem very cheap though. He's probably doing one coat with the polish.

My headlights are good, and even if they weren't, this guy wouldn't be the one cleaning them.

I've seen:

your=you're (daily)
they're=their=there
no=know
looser=loser
prolly=probably
alot = a lot
breaks = brakes

But tords = towards? Finally, there goes my hope for this country's future

10 bucks is not that much; even if he polishes the headlight lenses, his labor and time are worth 10 bucks. He's not asking for the world. Obviously, he's doing it because he needs money; he's not stealing or robbing from people. There are much worse people out there who are actually committing crimes.

Agree with this.

Plus, who cares how he spells? He isn't writing me an essay. He's polishing headlights. Do you care if your plumber knows the capital of the neighboring states?

Really? Coming from Yale Law School, I would think you'd expect a modicum of professionalism while conducting any business, whether it be the advertising or service aspect. When someone offers something that sounds sketchy, it normally is.

In any case, Yale Law, huh? Congratulations. I'm applying for law schools myself. I definitely don't think I can reach that high on the totem pole.
