Reason #927 Why Craigslist Totally Freaks Me Out

In an attempt to clean out the room, we decided to try to sell a few pieces of furniture on Craigslist instead of wastefully just bringing them to the dump.

Oh, sure, complete internet stranger!  Come on by after 6 (when it's dark out) and I'll just load up my chair and welcome you into my car so I can drive you home.  Sure.  Maybe you've got some candy to feed my children, too.  


So much for that idea.  To the dump we shall go.
