the Craigslist guy i hate more than anyone

I must flag this post 800 times a day (he posts it about as frequently). There are a lot of slimy people on Craigslist and they are often farless upfront about their natures, but even so, every time I read this post, I want to punch the guy. Utterly not metaphorical, I feel my arm muscles tensing up to do it.

It comes from a lot of places. It comes from the sex-toy/assistant cliche (a personal assistant needs to be your personal warrior, not your personal kick dog), the terrible exploitive pay, the "haha I'm getting away with something" tone, the implicit humilitation dynamic, etc etc etc.

Anyway, I hate this dude the most.

Submissive, Exotic Personal Assistants

Let's just ignore, for one minute that he did just say "1" and now makes it plural, but... O_O

*twitches*

I think it would be faster to just got to a gentlemen's club. Skip the middle ground there...

Yeah, sometimes he advertises more specifically for pairs of them.
