Ahh, good ol’ Craigslist. It gets a bad rap, which you could say is justified, given its murderous history.

But these days, what was once a weird platform used to lure people to their death is actually pretty useful and (relatively) safe.

Whether you’re looking for a (serial killer-free) place to crash for the summer, or someone to buy your old Ikea furniture for the low, low price of $30, Craigslist has got the goods.

It is still the Internet, though. Without a doubt there are one, or two, or 14 weirdos who’ve finagled their way onto the site to post batshit crazy listings.

Unless there’s a tub of bleach included, you’ll want to stay far, far away from #10.

Here are 15 Craigslist ads that might make you lose your faith in humanity.

The next best method of revenge, just after Beyonce’s “Lemonade.”

 

2. The Cautionary Tale

It seems someone got a little creative with their listing for a “2017 SCAM ARTIST.” I’m sure the next Craigslist buyer is sure to beware.

 

3. The Clueless Animal Lover

“I didn’t know I was buying a rooster.” What did you think “rooster” meant? Is that a secret naughty euphemism or something?? Oh right. Cock.
