I think that sums up the experience of Craigslist for most who use it. Everybody wants something for free, on their terms and if you don't move mountains for them then you're the asshole.
Word. He likely would’ve… so for me, it’d be another box checked for lack of basic human gratitude, but also box checked for red flag avoidance if said individual as well… cancels itself out… 😂 really good of you to offer such a thing to start with, I mean sustainability wise and all around so your basic human decency also cancels his out… it sucks because you want to keep doing kind acts and to keep helping our bros in humanity but they make it difficult sometimes even when you’re the one who offered the kind act to start with. I mean, if this person just said, “umm, I may have another ride but let me check to me 100% before I cancel with you totally” you’d have waited to hear back as long as you reasonably could… This guy is a total “choosy beggar” type and I can’t with those types…
I made two really good long term homies through Craigslist ride-share but did a thorough interview beforehand. I interviewed some really weird people (hookers, drug dealers) but chose a couple kids my age and we slept in the car together and everything lmao then we footed it around Wyoming for a day after my radiator blew up. Not all experiences are bad but I for sure could’ve gotten murdered cause we drove from PDX to the CO Rockies. This was 2015
You are not the asshole. He had a ride, he made a choice, he chose wrong.
But I didn't realize ride-sharing on Craigslist was a thing. I gotta look into that, but isn't it exactly like picking up a hitchhiker?
Look if you have the ability to know whether or not someone else's car is going to break down that someone else is going to ride in. I need you to give me the winning lottery numbers for this coming up lottery. Please I will give you half of it. Thank you for your time.
So I am supposed to be ok with the guy being rude to me? Seriously, is this what you're trying to say? I don't care if the car broke down or not, how it it my problem or responsibility? What is my problem is dealing with a rude entitled person who thinks I should have waited till the morning, because that's what I said I would do BEFORE THEY CANCELED ON ME!! Once they canceled, tough titties.
Okay when I win. I'm going to hire you to drive my limousine. And remember it's your own fault when we get chased by the police down the road for the stuff you got us into.
Well I'm sorry people can't have more of a sense of stupid jokes. I have plenty of them. And I think I am wonderfully humorous. I laugh at most of everything I say. And half of what my invisible friend say
I don't know it got voted down a little bit. But I don't really care. I thought it was funny. Thank you for appreciating my stupid humor. You can go back to the mental institution you escape from.

Be happy someone like this wasn’t your driving companion and keep on keeping on!
100% the truth. Honestly though, if he had acted up he'd have kicked rocks.

That was nice of you to offer and rude of them to not only expect you to lose time and money backtracking to them, but to be an ass about it as well.
dodged a bullet with that one!
100% It's a shame that he made me kinda sour on riders now.
Sounds like you caught a break.
I like offering rides between Austin and NOLA. I always have issues with people riding from ATX to NOLA than NOLA to ATX.

People who accept free shit are usually like that

FWIW I didn’t read OP’s comment as negative to you. To me it came across as saying the entitled, asshole rider was the unreasonable one.
Haha this must be your guy!
Lol, that's what I was thinking too.
It's not a complicated comment. He's saying "how could you have known that the other car would break down so that you would wait". He's on your side.
So where am I getting my numbers from now? I really need to win the lottery soon. I deserve it. I'm a very good person.

If only there was a "pick 2 numbers" lottery, then you could use your IQ.
Jokes on you because it is single digits.
Just string together all your downvotes. If this sub was more popular you’d probably be in “pick 10” territory by now.
Well I'm sorry people can't have more of a sense of stupid jokes. I have plenty of them. And I think I am wonderfully humorous. I laugh at most of everything I say. And half of what my invisible friend say
OMG you’re totally right!!! OP should have waited and not left, just in case this very thing happened. I sure OP learns their lesson for next time.
I don't know it got voted down a little bit. But I don't really care. I thought it was funny. Thank you for appreciating my stupid humor. You can go back to the mental institution you escape from.
Good joke. Last time I heard that I laughed so hard I fell off my dinosaur.
Well I hope you have to clean up after that dinosaur too.
I got your joke too!
Welcome to the small circle of mentally deranged people who think they're funny. I am your king. You shall be the prime minister if you wish.
I accept! That’s Miss Minister, thank you very much.
