So, I was trying to get tickets to a sold out live show via Craigslist. I got a response from a guy that wanted WAY too much for the tickets. I replied back to him with the offer I was willing to give. The email I received after that went something along the lines of this:
"I will give you the tickets at face value...if you meet up with me for coffee and introduce me to some of your friends." (That might not be verbatim, but pretty damn close.)
Normally, I would feel a little compassionate for the guy, but he then proceeded to start chatting with me on gmail, and I will just suffice it to say things just got really desperate and creepy from there.
I proceeded to lie and tell him that I found other tickets, and wished him luck with making new friends here in the city.
If only that was the end of it....
Apparently I had totally wronged him somehow, because he proceeded to sent all sorts of psycho emails my way telling me what I cunt I supposedly am for not helping him out.
THERE ARE SOME CRAZY DUDES OUT THERE, LADIES. Jesus H....seriously.
After about three of these consecutive nut-basket emails, I finally deemed it time to take action. I told him that what he was doing was freaking textbook harassment, and that if he proceeded to contact me, some sort of legal action would be taking place.
Needless to say, I haven't heard from him since. Sometimes the power of a threat is all you need.
The lesson to be learned...continue to be wary of Craigslist!
