Gotta love Craigslist sometimes

[diabolical_Tanya]

Dear Corporate Giant,

I want to thank you chain store with annoying smiley face logo for finally breaking me of my sanity today. I truly enjoyed you moving the baskets to the other side of the entrance so I had to merge through the flow of customers trying to leave. I have always hated playing Frogger, and you’re right I was getting too accustomed to the idea of convenience. Kudos for keeping me on my toes. Perhaps you’d like to mix it up by randomly moving products around more; because I’m beginning to become complacent knowing that you keep some teas in the food section, and Celestial seasonings in the pharmacy. Perhaps the linens section needs its share as well. I rejoiced at the fact that you were out of the most critical items on my list. That really made my day.

I’d also like to give a shout out to the crazy eyed lady in the soup aisle. My boyfriend loved the impromptu butt grab/massage you gave him. I personally thought the best part was when you tried to sexily lick the can of soup you were holding. I’m not sure what the point of that was, but I feel I should warn you that the outside of said can cannot be a hygienic surface. I don’t think we will ever look at Campbell’s soup the same way again. I also really appreciated you store stalking us, that was really fun. If you’re wondering how you lost us; we doubled back through pet supplies while you were stuck behind the screaming child. You really didn’t miss much. It was the normal dodge buggies, take a cart or two in the shin, hop around on one leg, and bug boyfriend about his soup lover. Yes, we talked about you. I wouldn’t be flattered though since I thought you were funny, and he thought you may have emotionally scarred him and/or poked him in the butt with something. I had to buy him cookies to distract him, so he’d stop rubbing his butt trying to exorcise you. Do you know how stupid he looked rubbing his butt walking through the store? I do. For that I thank you crazy soup lady; you made my day.

I also really enjoyed the sugary Christmas carols. I don’t know why the post office gets the rap for having crazy employees? The lady at till three looked ready to snap. I’m just warning you. Honestly, she mumbled something about Rudolph’s nose and shoving it somewhere. It wasn’t a happy Christmas somewhere either. Perhaps you should put the radio back on for a bit. When people’s eyes glaze over it makes me nervous.

Sincerely,
Customer #840 000 000 http://calgary.en.craigslist.ca/rnr/938873112.html

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Man Faces Jail For Trashing Ex On Craigslist</span>
<span style="font-style: italic">December 2, 2008 05:57 AM EST | </span>

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A man accused of making unflattering online comments about his former lover and her attorney on Craigslist has been charged with two counts of criminal libel.

&quot;It's not a charge you see a lot of,&quot; Larimer County District Attorney Larry Abrahamson said of the 1800s-era state law that can put people in jail for the content of their speech or writing.

Abrahamson charged J.P. Weichel, 40, of Loveland, in October over posts he allegedly made on Craigslist's &quot;Rants and Rave&quot; section.

The case began when a woman told Loveland police in December 2007 about postings made about her between November and December 2007. Court records show posts that suggested she traded sexual acts for legal services from her attorney and mentioned a visit from child services because of an injury to her child.

Police obtained search warrants for records from Web sites including Craigslist before identifying Weichel as the suspect. Weichel shares a child with the woman.

Weichel, confronted by detectives at his workplace in August, said he was &quot;just venting,&quot; according to court records.

No phone listing could be found for Weichel, and his attorney, Michael Liggett of Fort Collins, didn't immediately return a message left Monday by The Associated Press.

Libel is commonly seen as a civil case. Denver attorney Steve Zansberg, who specializes in First Amendment law, said prosecutors seeking criminal libel cases could have a &quot;chilling&quot; effect on free speech in Colorado, particularly over the Internet.

Abrahamson wasn't so sure. He said it is up to police departments to pursue cases.

Zansberg contends the law is outdated, is unclear about stating opinions and is written in such a way that dead people could be victims of criminal libel.

The statute allows prosecution for speech &quot;tending to blacken the memory of one who is dead&quot; or to &quot;expose the natural defects of one who is alive, and thereby to expose him to public hatred, contempt or ridicule.&quot; Criminal libel carries a punishment of up to 18 months in prison.

To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown, Savannah )



I was the white guy with the black Burrberry
jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife
on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and
earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to
apologize.

I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my
jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening,
and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought
me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had ju st picked
up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a
very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?


I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that
brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse
since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with
me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you
try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or
&quot;Momma&quot; as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your
situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes
to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all
of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the w allet itself in a
dumpster.

I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in
case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line,
and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know
what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your
service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's
office with it. Oh well.

So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so
I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your
pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the
detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it
liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and
instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll
reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so
lucky. If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and
laundry.

Peace! - Alex
