AAAAHHHHH WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

For disbelievers: really. Here it is. I’ve recently had a few people express disbelief that some of these photos are really from listings. But they are, they really truly are, and that’s what makes the world such a wonderful place. Sometimes the listing has been taken down or changed by the time I get it posted, but the photos I use are all snagged — by me — from actual real estate listings. Cross my heart.

(Jake sent this to You Suck at Craigslist, who thoughtfully passed it along to me.)

"Buy Right Now! Sexy! High Rents!"

Jul. 28, 2009

It’s the first Hawaiian loveliness, found by Allon! And it finds me deeply confused. I’ve never been to Hawaii, so I don’t know… but is this normal? Like, the same way that people in other states have dog houses, Hawaiians have small-scale pig farms?

I’m presuming pig farms are standard, because there’s no explicit mention of it in the listing… and it does seem like something you might want to point out. It goes a bit beyond the “Oh, I thought you knew the pool table wasn’t included” homebuying confusion I’m used to.

Sho I shaid, "It's YOUR convention, YOU get out," and she shaid…

Jul. 27, 2009

Whoooooo. I’m back from the BlogHer convention and I must still be a wee bit drunk because as far as I can tell, this listing Joanne found shows one of those overstuffed sofas, just right for watching Beverly Hills 90210 while wearing your high-waist jeans and drinking Orbitz, and the sofa is leaning against a wall, and that can’t be right. So carry on without me. I’ll be right back after a wee lie-down. On the ceiling.
