CRAIGLIST CAP LOCKS

I've finally found a house to live in next year. While I'm pretty stoked about that, we still need to figure out a lot of details like utilities, coordinating the first month's rent when none of us are in Victoria, and furnishing.

Ah, furnishing. While this is going to be a bit of a pain to furnish almost the entire house, this is the detail I'm looking forward to the most. I took a quick look at Craigslist, and I noticed something odd...

PEOPLE ON CRAIGSLIST LIKE CAPS LOCK. A LOT.

This is normal people:

This is people on Craigslist:

For some reason, inconstant use of exclamation points bothers
me. Either use multiple ones or just one, DON'T MIX AND MATCH.

Seriously. Those people take their shit seriously. It's like the only people who sell things on Craigslist are enthusiastic, thoroughly stoked, loud-voiced people who absolutely positively need to sell their old sofa right now seriously it needs to go but it's in such good condition why would no one want it THIS MOMENT?!* It's a little concerning actually.


And that's my enthralling revelation of the day. Also (and most importantly), I am a university student moving into my first house, so if you or anyone you know is looking to get rid of something/anything that would be useful in a house (namely, furniture), let me know! Vancouver or Victoria, I would be glad to help you get rid of it.

*Not actually everyone who sells stuff on Craigslist is like this. Just about 90% of them. I'm sure if you sell stuff on Craigslist you are positively calm and rational about it.
