This is the funniest Craigslist add I've seen. :)

In case he takes it down:

We met on Craigslist so I am hoping that this post finds you. I know that it could quite possibly be the most humiliating first date that you have ever been on, but I am willing to look past that.

I thought we had chemistry sitting at Applebees sharing that basket of Cajun Tots while drinking the Amstel Light. I really felt like there was a connection there. I found you to be intelligent and witty and looked forward to further conversation with you.

At some point in life, everyone has gambled on a fart and lost. It just happened to be on a first date in the passenger seat of my car. Please don't feel bad. The package I sent you with Pepto the next day and the note that said "First dates are always a crap shoot. Call me" was meant to be funny, not offensive.

I have gambled on a fart and lost on multiple occasions. The first time I did it was very memorable. It happened when I was five and sitting on my uncle's lap. I am lactose intolerant, but love cheese. I probably win 95% of the time, but I don't think anyone wins 100% of the time. That's why they call it "gambling".

I'm the last person to judge you for crapping your pants. In fact, I am impressed by your boldness. The timing on the other hand, could have been a tad bit better...like when you're not sitting on a heated leather seat.

What I am trying to say is that if you want to go out again, I would be more than happy to take you someplace where we can get a meal that is high in fiber and less taxing on the digestive tract.

I await your call,
Tad

P.S. - If you **** yourself on purpose to end the evening early…touché…
 
Apparently it's not the kind of story SHE would want to tell her grandchildren.

Hate to say it, but making a joke about it probably didn't help. "I'd love to see you again" and focussing only on the positives might have worked better.

Apparently he knows her address and presumably phone number, but I guess she's not responding. Short of sending flowers or hanging around and begging, he's out of options.

Putting the apparently not-funny-at-all incident in the ad just sealed his fate, nice guy though he seems to be, he doesn't get it - she's mortified and doesn't want to discuss it EVER.

A sobering lesson for us all, I'd say and we can thank him for that much. I guess we can take away the obvious advice… If the girl don't want to talk about it, THE GIRL DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
 
This is absolutely classic. This would do great on Digg

Edit: got submitted on Digg 2 days ago, only has 2 diggs. I suppose I was wrong.

I don't believe it's a true story but it's well written and it made me LOL.
That said, I can imagine the conversation with her grandson:

GSon: "how did you meet granpa?"

GMother: "funny story: I pooped in his honda....:eek:"

:D

It made me laugh, but also wonder if true.

Your conversation snip got me thinking.

Grandson: "So what attracted you to grandma?"

Grandfather: "It was her inner energy. In fact she shared some with me on the first date. I'll never forget that."
 
^ You'd be surprised. Sh** happens.


A friend of mine went on a date with a medical student. I think it was about their second date and they got really drunk. She spent the night on his sofa. She woke to find she'd peed her pants and in a panic she left and went home. Her only comfort was that he probably wouldn't be that grossed out since he was a med student but she was still obviously horrified. He called and said it's ok, I understand. I want to see you again, etc etc but she wasn't exactly up for seeing him again. I'm sure you understand.


What a hilarious story, true or not.
 
This definitely should be an Fmylife entry, something like this:

"Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. Everything was going well and at the end of the night I went into the guys car, he turned the seat warmer on and he leaned in to kiss me. I got excited. So excited I **** in my pants. FML"

Hehe, that would be a good one :)
