Funny CL Postings

[Daycare_Mama]

I just found one on CL of a 15 year old girl posting a babysitting ad.

She sounded articulate, educated, and her ad sounded very normal and legit. Just a teenage girl looking for some afterschool and weekend babysitting jobs.

THEN, she posts 4 pictures of herself. 3 are of her and a little boy (who I'm assuming is her nephew from her post) and then 1 picture is of her laying seductively on her stairs. It's the same girl and I don't get why on earth she would think that would be a good picture to post with her ad. She's clothed and all, but it's definitely a provocative looking picture.

What's worse is she listed her PHONE NUMBER! This girl is going to get all sorts of creeps calling and emailing her. And if there's really someone desperate, they will just do a paid search on her phone number and find out where she lives.

I emailed her out of concern to take off that picture and her phone number..she seriously sounds like a legitimate teen looking for a babysitting job if it wasn't for this.

I feel like an old lady (I'm not even close!), but I wish I could get a hold of her parents to let her know about the ad she has posted.

WOW, you can name your price on this one!! And look she says "get the freash hair they need" :::: I really wonder if people make interviews with these ladies??

:: That one really got me laughing!! :: Seriously, makes you wonder if people read what they type!

[gbcc]

LOL, so in other words someone to live their life for them. What the hell is this person doing all day??? ::

I especially love the "to take care of some recurring life tasks" Wow.

My favorite was the tracking down interesting places to visit!

[GretasLittleFriends]

OMG. LMBO!! Get a load of this one!! ::::::

I require someone to take care of some recurring life tasks that I can not get into my schedule routinely. Items like: grocery shopping, shopping generally, laundry, cleaning up house/hanging up cloths, organizing things around house, tracking down interesting places to visit, watering plants, buying plants, returning things I have borrowed, perhaps helping move things around the house or look for cool gifts for friends and family. That type of stuff. Maybe 10 or 15 hours a week of for sure work, maybe more if it goes that way.

Sounds like a lazy guy looking for a wife to do everything for him. I can't help but think, "hey, at least he's honest" and "you know what you're getting into up front".

haha, it's all hilarious! Actually when I read it again, I was cracking up at the "returning things I've borrowed".

Like...

"Hi, I'm Jane. I handle John's recurring life tasks. Just returning this shirt that your friend borrowed from you last week!" ::::::

It's pretty sad when you can't fit returning stuff you've borrowed into your daily "routine".

[gbcc]

How does it get borrowed in the first place? It sounds like he barely has time to wipe his own $$

Hooked on Phonics.....::::

[momofboys]

This was posted a couple of weeks ago on my local CL. I found it funny how she considered it only 3 1/2 days a week even though the hours listed add up to a potential for @ 38 hours!

"Hello:

We are looking for a nanny/sitter for our 4 mo. old daughter. Because we both work during the week (Adam is an attorney that works in Columbus and Marion; and Sam manages a dental office in Dublin) She is currently enrolled in daycare but we would really like to find someone to come and care for her from our home in Worthington.

We are looking for someone who is available Monday-Wednesday from 7:15 a.m. until no later than 5:30 p.m. (although on most days one of us will be home between 4 and 5 p.m. ). And on Thursdays from 7:15 a.m. to 2:30 or 3:00 p.m. We plan on offering weekly pay starting at $130/week (which is actually about 3 1/2 days) and can negotiate based upon fit and experience.

We would love to introduce ourselves as well as get to know a little bit more about you. If you are interested please contact us via this site or at the email address below. Hope to hear from you soon!
p. s. we have a Boston Terrier but she is very low maintenance and won't require any of your time. "

Okay so this has nothing to do with daycare but I was on Craigslist and came across this ad which made me smile. Thought I'd share.

Curb Alert (cleaning out garage)
Only items at the curb are free please stay out of the driveway and not bother the homeowners (he's in a bad mood anyway) ::

[dEHmom]

not sure if this has been asked yet or not, has anyone posted a funny cl listing on here, made fun of it, and then found out it was a members ad? , I think that would be funnier than anything! .
