The Funniest Craigslist Post I’ve Ever Seen

I’m a man of several vices, cheapness and playing more Wii than an entire second grade classroom both being high on the list. The two happily converge in the video game section of Craigslist, which I incessantly troll for inexpensive games. Many a Saturday is spent buying titles off of preadolescents who view Nintendo’s system as “too childish” as their parents look on, eying me in disgust and making sure I leave the property as soon as cash is in their kid’s hand. The point of that preamble is that yesterday, while doing my typical due diligence, I came across this post:

Being who I am and doing what I do, I decided to email the guy and find out if he was on the level, asking both if he had been successful in his quest and why he didn’t just sell the games to Gamestop. Here’s the reply I got:

Naa, I didn’t get a pack yet… can you help me out? I’m 26 years old, been smokin since I was 16, just don’t got transportation to the mall, and don’t feel like taking the bus. I also got a copy of Monster Hunter Tri (game, no case, that’s how I bought it) which is a good online game. I’d rather not sell it, but I’ll give you all 3 for 2 packs of Pall Mall menthol 100… sound good? If you can help me out just park next to my house and then call, because I don’t feel like dealing with my aunt calling me an addict, etc. I can just step outside, hand you the games and get the cigarettes…

I generally lack all human sympathy and emotion, but, damn. If you live in the DC area, hook the man up.
