People on craigslist are idiots

[poxpower]

I've bought and sold many things on there over the years and it amazes me how stupid people are. Their communication skills are on the level of autistic children.

Almost every single time I ask questions, they struggle to comprehend and answer them, in the about 50% of cases where they even bother to address the question.

Some put upside-down pictures or often no pictures at all and extremely minimal description, demanding that you call them for info.

In short, as in every area of life, people there are mongoloids that make me have no pity whatsoever on my fellow human beings. Why would I want to save more of them? Why would I be against the death penalty? Chances are, even if he's wrongly convicted, he was one of those upside-down craigslist picture posters who only leaves a cellphone number as the add description.

Have you ever tried selling autistic children?

[Atlas]

What are you gonna do?

[Manly-Chicken]

What were they selling?

[Supermonkeydude8888]

Jeez, that was an astoundingly perfect description of NG General posters.

[SneakyGameBoy]

Never been on Craigslist but all I know and heard is that website is a complete mess.

[Sensationalism]

Hahaha. Recently I saw an ad for two cockatiels. They were listed as a brother and sister bonded pair that were 1-2 years old. A female gray and a male pearl. Daughter lost interest in them, mom wants to sell them.
The "male" pearl was very clearly a female. I mentioned this to the lady and asked a couple questions. Instead of answering them she just asked when I wanted to meet to look at them. Ummm no thanks lady you don't even know what you're selling.
I tried again to get her to change her ad but it's still the same. Some poor bastard is going to buy a male and find out it's a female.

Actually I've had that happen lots, they have no clue what I'm even trying to ask them. And it's like really? You currently own the thing how could you possibly not know?

Facebook is making me hate people more and more too. But I think it's mainly just a certain group of people. Extreme idiocy mixed with extremely bad grammar. Makes me want to rage every day. I'd never even heard of "tell" being used in place of "until" before.

In summation, errrybody dumb.

They're non-businesstype people dealing with dozens of enquiries. Cut em some slack. Not everybody cares to present the world with a clean cut persona.

I've sold things on there and had no problem at all replying to questions with good grammar and describing what I was selling.
It was always easy to get a hold of me.

The truth is that people are fucking lazy and have no excuse. None. Worse; They feel entitled to their failures. They have a kid? Ok well then everything bad they do from now on is not because they're terrible idiots, it's because their kid just takes too much effort!

As you get older you will realize how true this is and how people love to blame all their lazyness of things that isn't their fault.

They can't even REPLY TO A QUESTION properly, what are the chances they can work a job or vote for the right guy ( the guy I'm voting for ).

I think you can remove "on craigslist" and still have a valid statement.

[Boomstick]

Well when you have no experience whatsoever on selling stuff on your own, you won't exactly be a master of it.

[WiiFittoToreinaa]

Want to sell some of my stuff and be apart of that majority.

[TNT]

You can't fix stupid.

I was using Craigslist to find my new job, and I didn't find that many illiterate users. So maybe your area has grammar issues?

It's got nothing to do with selling.
Like upside down pictures. What experience do you require to figure out that the picture is upside-down?

Or reading a message and answering it properly?
??
"Does this have X?"

Do you need to be a genius to and answer this instead of ignoring it?

That's because you're a negative-nancy crybaby and probably put up horrible craigslist ads.
How many penises are you able to suck in one hour? This information MATTERS. You can't leave it out of the posting. When will people learn.

[Laura-chan]

The obvious unspoken truth!

:S

[NeonSpider]

A woman at a laundromat put her clothes in the washing machine, closed the lid, put in her money, started it up.
Then she would periodically open the lid causing water to go everywhere, throw some detergent in there, close the lid.

How hard is it to put your laundry in there, put your detergent in there, close the lid, start it up, then sit back wait like a normal person? There's written directions on the machine, and even pictures in case you somehow can't read.

Case-in-point. People are idiots. It's not just on craigslist.

when I was searching for a car on craigslist a couple of years ago, I noticed that way way too many people misspell the name of the car they're selling. like dude, you can just look at your car to find the correct spelling, there's no excuse for that!

Look for pets. You have "purebreads" YUMMY.
And then you have purebred mutts. Because that makes sense.

Yeah, one person on Craigslist is an idiot = everybody on Craigslist is an idiot. That makes sense.

Premise 1: "People on craigslist are idiots"
Premise 2: "I've bought and sold many things on there over the years"
Conclusion: Pox is an idiot.

Yeah man stupidity is definitely the majority and the rule rather than the exception. But to give you my insight, I'd say that people in high places already think that way, why should they help us, what are we worth it anyway? I don't use craigslist, so I have no horror stories of my own to compare, but working fast food for years I can agree that most people are terrible communicators by nature and are also pretty goddamn annoying.

I understand what you're saying, but I still think the death penalty's pretty harsh for any type of crime short of murder. Lifetime imprisonment would be better, it'd give them opportunity to right their wrongs and to rethink their situation at the same time.
