Ah, Craigslist: the only place you can rent a life-size, living, breathing Elf on the Shelf, consider becoming someone’s nemesis, sign up to be a bridesmaid AND get your dentures back all at the same time.
It can also be used it as a dating service. Take it from this guy, who felt a connection too strong to be ignored with a woman whose purse he stole and asked her for drinks using the information found on her driver’s license.
What a time to be alive.
Okay, that’s an extreme example — when I say ‘dating service,’ I’m not thinking snatch-and-grab or even swiping left or right. I’m also not talking something along the lines of eHarmony, Bumble or Match.com.

Missed Connections is the section of Craigslist that functions the way a classifieds section would in a newspaper: a small write-up from one anonymous Craigslist-er to another because when they met in real life, one was too shy to say anything.
Hey, Agenda readers: if you’re ever too shy to talk to that handsome guy you pass most mornings that wears nice shoes, try Missed Connections.
