Craigslist - Day 2

Bosses are still out, and at the request of probably my sole reader at this point, it seemed like another great day to heckle Bob a bit through his Craigslist add :) After some gchatting we thought it might be good to try using an girly sounding e-mail address, so I decided to use the name Chasey Lane, and quickly found out Bob may be a slight porn fan. Here's what we've got so far:

Chasey:

Hi there,
I saw you add this morning, is the room still available?
Thanks and I hope you're having a good Friday!!

Bob:

Ha, yeah right.

Chasey:

Does that mean it's no longer available?

Bob:

Not to pornstars, unfortunately, but if I had my way there might be a different policy.

Chasey:

Why do you say that? That's really too bad you would think or say something like that to me. For your information I am planning to move to DC in August from Kansas. I just finished my undergrad in accounting from KU and am moving to DC for job in that field.

I hope not everyone in DC is as judgemental as you.

Bob:

Don't worry, they are.

Chasey:

Wow, I guess people were right about this "east coast attitude" Everyone I respond to about a place to live seems to give me the same response. I'm starting to get a little desperate. What if I offered to pay $750 a month? I really need a place to live. I'm a nice girl and I really think your roomates would like me, I thought a group house would be a good way to meet people and get my feet wet in the big city...

Bob:

The burden is on you to prove your identity.
Serious requests only, sweetheart.

Bob again:

On second thought, you can save your time.. The room is now unavailable.

Chasey:

On second thought? Wow, aren't there fair housing laws in this town?

Bob:

You aren't sounding like an out-of-towner.
George, that you?

Chasey:

How does a person sound like an "out-of-towner" and who is George? You really have some nerve, first you accuse me of being some kind of adult film star and now you think I am some guy named George? What is wrong with you? If you are so paranoid and dis-trustful, why did you even post something on craigslist in the first place?

Bob:

You need to put yourself in my shoes.
Time to come clean:
who are you?
Man in the mirror, buddy.

Chasey:

In your shoes? You're trying to rent a room out, and I'm trying to rent it from you...I don't know why I am wasting my time anymore, I even offered you above your asking price...you are a paranoid little person....good luck in life.

Bob:

Thanks Chasey, you too. I might have found you more believable if it were not for the lane69 in your email. I don't think I'd have bought in, but you would have had a better chance at baiting me.

Bob again:

So you went to KU, huh? What's your KU address then?

Chasey:

I'm not giving out personal information like that to a wierdo like you, who knows what you would do with that. I can't have random people stalking and hasseling me all day especially boys that clearly have an unhealthy porn fetish. You need to stop being an internet warrior.

Bob:

FAIL

Chasey:

fail? what does that mean? you are becomming boring

Bob:

Bye

Chasey:

does this mean you're not gonna show me the room this weekend?

Bob:

you got it.

Chasey:

how about monday?

Bob:

sorry George, ain't happening.

then bob e-mailed me (chasey) this curious link: http://www.geekologie.com/2008/11/good_idea_man_submits_drawing.php

Chasey responded:

thank you for that lovely picture of the spider, however that doesn't do anything for my housing issue, how about we meet for a drink when I'm in town to finalize my job related paperwork in a few weeks?

Bob:

Sounds good.

Chasey:

when/where?

Now we are awaiting Bob's response......what an exciting Friday so far!
