Craigslist is built to be simple — a simple device, for simple people. Alas, it has attained quite an infamous reputation for attracting people who are just a little too simple, if you get what I mean. Their brain is not yet quite fully… how shall I put this? Ah, yes. The screws aren't quite all there. Yes, most of them are over the age of 25, therefore their frontal cortex should supposedly be fully developed, but we can't argue with the facts, which are that it most certainly is not.

People are either immature, deranged, confused, or just downright unrealistic. These irritating buggers have a bunch of unreasonable requests, show up late (that's actually a step up from the people who don't bother to show up at all), and change their minds without notifying you. Seasons come and seasons go but one sure thing is that each season brings with it new buyers, new sellers, and new idiots to our favorite platform that we love to hate. Because let's face it, sometimes you fall on a good deal. Scroll down to have a look at some of my personal favorites.
