14 Of The Weirdest Services Ever Offered Or Sold On CraigsList
Everyone has heard of the horror stories and ridiculousness that can be found on Craigslist. From personal ads to belly button lint sales, one can waste hours sifting through the bizarre hilarity of it all. And because there are more and more strange ads, services and rants being posted, it's beginning to get hard trying to figure out which are sincere and which are being done for entertainment purposes only.
It's actually quite amazing what one can find on Craigslist. Pets or a “butt” pumpkin, both ends of the spectrum are represented on the ad-ridden site. But it's also a spot to find services one may be looking for. Maids, a ride to work, lawn care or even a handy-man to fix a broken washer or dryer, it's sometimes easier than Googling companies in a local area. But, sifting through one could find some downright weird services; and here are 14 of the weirdest.
14 Eye Candy Lawn Care
All of those moms out there, CraigsList has found “Eye Candy Lawn Services.” They are here to assist all the lovely, lonely mamas with any special lawn needs. The ad reads, “Why settle for boring white-bread lawn service when you can get a real piece of Eye Candy to take care of it for you? Don't miss your opportunity for quality lawn service done by quality ethnically ambiguous male models!”
They offer different services but be aware of the “Basic,” in which no costume is included. And what's an Eye Candy Service with no costume?
13 I Will Help You Teach Your Cat to Walk On A Leash
Is anyone in need of teaching their cat to walk on a leash? This person just may be able to help.
"Well, there are no guarantees, but it can be done. I am a dog person by nature, but have slowly taught my cats to walk on a leash outdoors. So many people have stopped and said, "'I've always wanted to do that, how did you you do it?" that I figured I might try to pass on some knowledge for a minimal fee."
This person is charging $50 for the service, but remember, nothing is guaranteed.
12 Best. Roomate. Ever
Usually, one reads ads on Craigslist to find a roommate, with "seeking roommate" being one of the most popular, posted titles.
