The first three calls were funny
Written by hootenannie on March 28th, 2009The first call came at 12:45am.
“Hi, I’m wondering if you still have the cat mailbox?”
Um, what?
“The cat mailbox! I just saw the ad on Craigslist.”
Excuse me?
“Posted about a half hour ago – it’s darling.”
Lady, it’s the middle of the night, and I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Do you have any idea how many people in Middle Tennessee have been waiting their entire lives for a free mailbox in the shape of a yellow tabby cat? 27. TWENTY-SEVEN PEOPLE have called me in the past 15 hours, responding to an ad on Craigslist that I did not post – but that clearly stated my name and phone number.
This is worse than a “Call for a good time” scrawled in a bathroom stall.

There is nothing about that mailbox that I want. MAYBE if there was some good mail in it but otherwise no, never.

I had somebody call me about a month ago about the $2,000 blue Ford Ranger that I was unknowingly selling on Craigslist. I said you must have the wrong number. She said, nope, your number is on the ad, and you will be getting a lot of calls on this! She sounded like it was my fault and she was mad! I didn’t get any other calls. I looked up the ad and found out that the angry lady had, in fact, dialed the number wrong. ha!

WTF?? That’s awfull!
I think we should all refer to you as “The Crazy Cat Mailbox Lady.” ;)
Now we know at least 27 people in Nashville need to have their sence of asthetic reviewed.
