How poorly spelled can a Craigslist housing ad be before you shouldn't answer it

What a bad thread

made by an incompetent God

needs examples

we are two friends looking for a third roommate for our 3br 2 bath deblex at huron and ashland. the room avaible is on the seocond floor. it is on the small side but the apt itself is huge. heat cable and electric are not included. there is lots of closet space in the apt. the apt is a new rehab all new floors kitchens and bathroom. we also have central air and heat. it is also great for public transportation, near multiple busses and blue and green line trains.
we would like someone older the 21 younger than 35. bonus point for someone who is out going and easy to get along with.
if interasted call kate at 773 820 3511

That's not really bad but I downloaded Zodiac the other day and I'm kind of jumpy

st johnsbury house of pizza has a sign reading busses welcome

oh im gonna download zodiac right now

just cams huh

yeah sry

walked by a dry cleaners on wisconsin ave today called "Goergetown Cleaners"

presumably that is just so they aren't confused with the "georgetown cleaners" directly beneath russia house, nowhere in georgetown.

i'm imagining a turf war between the russians and the frat boys...

and wow would that be awesome!!!

Whenever the neighborhood is misspelled I envision a windowless apartment littered with crush videos and cat shit

A B C I would appreciate a breakdown on how various misspellings play out

street spelled wrong = ?
city spelled wrong = ?
own name spelled wrong = ?

when people specify age or gender in an ad, isn't this discriminatory?
i think renters/roomies can legally get away with this, but not owners
funny because you would get flagged down in a minute if you specified desired race of renter.

Uh I've seen race specified lots of times.

I wouldn't trust any housing advertisement all in lower case, as the advertiser is surely a MORANS.

but it's a deblex!

- Goergetown is actually a historic colonial site in Mozambique

- my favorite of the craigslist rental ads I've seen this month was from a guy in my area who mentioned several times that he was just a straight professional man seeking same -- no drugs, no baby's mama drama, and NO TRANNYS. his apartment was decorated in a style i associate with middle-aged city ladies of the lower-middle income bracket (i.e., puffy floral sectional sofa)

- my second favorite in the area was from two women, one of whom described herself as a retail worker/CAPOERISTA -- these girls sounded totally awesome in about a zillion different ways

- my third favorite was from a gay man with pictures of the kind of beautiful, cozily decorated apartment sitcom writers and set designers would use to indicate "punctilious gay man" -- the kitchen looked like someone was about to film a cooking show in it

- but then thankfully i got a reprieve my lease's expiration, so all my dreams of a summer sublet with fascinating tranny-avoiders, capoeristas, and rabid decorators have gone up in smoke like so many parcels of intercepted drugs

NO TRANNYS, guys

i think thats my school's motto

I can't live with someone who calls their apartment a "flat," right? What if I'm inadvertently turning down the chance to share a bathroom with a cool british person though. Like Don Cheadle in the Oceans trilogy or Fergie

In our Entourage I would most likely be Johny Drama: I cook, work hard, and am used to being the oldest of my friends. I am nearly 24y/o male, straight, and I earned my yellow belt. I also get frustrated when my vehicle is ticketed and towed when I have places to go!
To complete the gang we need a Turtle/Eric/Vince (girls can fill these roles too) but please do not reply if you're not rollin' solo. I don't want relationship drama or a freeloading significant other around 24/7. Were young and living in Chicago. Having a good time is what this is all about. You must enjoy meeting new people, partying like rockstars on the weekends but keeping your head in the game and being responsible during the week. If this sounds like something you might be interested in facebook me or reply to this posting ASAP!

EXACTLY

DO YOU KNOW WHAT BRITISHES DO TO BAKED BEANS????

THEY EAT THEM IN THE MORNING

which is wrong because it causes flatulence?

This was from April. I think masturbating is the only thing misspelled, possibly reason enough not to live there:

"Cute 1 bedroom available now on Capital Hill. Cute 3rd
floor 1 bedroom with windows in every room, lovely
view of north Capital Hill to Queen Anne Hill.

Potential tenants should be comfortable with two
businesses being operated from their neighbor's
apartment (the apartment manager).
One is PNW College Guys. The business motto is
“Straight, young, and willing” and films young men
mastrubating.
The second is an incall massage business which
operates 10am-9pm Daily (7 days a week). This business
advertises for clients several places including Craigs
List and goes by the names "Bodywork by Lance" and
"Experienced Hands for Men". Be comfortable with the
fact his clients are offered nude erotic massages from
his apartment. He does not appear to have a massage
licence.

Please stop by the Santa Fe Apartments at xxxx Belmont
Ave #303 to view it or call the manager, Lance at
xxx-xxxx. Otherwise please drop an email and you will
be informed about an uncoming open viewing.
Also note, Lance has informed me he has very high
requirements for new tenants and will turn away
applicants who don't meet them."

"high requirements" = “Straight, young, and willing”

lol that is hysterical, rent that apt. and soon you'll be all over lubeyourtube.com

wow.

$950 - Phat pad, great deal, lots of beer, the best bros, and tons of...
Date: 2006-02-02, 8:09PM PST

Snatch up this deal.
Totally sick pad located in great part of town. It is a four bedroom with two full baths, nice hardwood floors, a big kitchen with top of the line modern appliances, 500 lb grill (you can cook for a fuckin' army on this thing), an extra refrigerator stocked full of beer, a huge living room-20'x 25', with 42 inch plasma TV, surround sound, and nice couches. It is an old house with modern appliances and is newly refurbished-bro it is so sweet! We are the top flat and our downstairs neighbors are tech dorks so we do what we want, including indoor drunken wrestling and pounding the shit out of...ah don't want to get kicked off of Craigslist.

The room is huge (15'x 16') with a walk-in closet, new carpeting, and two big windows.

We are three old friends, mid 20's, looking for a fourth roommate. All of us are pretty tight, we were in the same fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi. I am in PR and my bros are brokers, one is an exchange and the other insurance. We work hard and play even harder. We usually go out three to four nights a week. Always, I mean always, on Friday and Saturday. We have our favorite clubs and bars and are straight up players. Our interests are sports, nice shit, beer, and hot women (but sometimes you get what you can take). Send us a bio. about yourself and answer these questions:

1.) Where are you from and where did you go to college?
2.) What did you major in and were you in a frat?
3.) What do you do for a living?
4.) Do you like to party and how many beers can you drink in a night?
5.) What sports did you/do you play?
6.) What kind of a car do you drive?
7.) How many girls have you crushed (we posted a similar ad days ago and people dodged this question, DON'T DO THAT, we want numbers)?
8.) How long have you lived in the city and how many sluts do you know (for booty calls)?
9.) What could you add to this household and why should we pick you?

These questions are no joke, we are serious. This is what we do and who we are-so don't be offended, we are just being honest. We will send pics. after we get your email and if we like you. We didn't say this before but our buddy's dad owns this shit and that is why the rent is so cheap, I mean we could charge like $1300 for the room.

Rent is $950
Utilities are around 100 a month, includes wireless, 500 channels, and lots of porn.
Deposit is $1250
No lease, month to month.
No pets

our downstairs neighbors are tech dorks so we do what we want
