I HAVE SNACKS GET IN MY BED, or, How Did Office Workers Kill Time Before Internets?

retro office I HAVE SNACKS GET IN MY BED, or, How Did Office Workers Kill Time Before Internets?

I can’t imagine what it was like to work in an office before the Internets sprung fully formed from the mind of Al Gore. Well,  I did intern in offices while the information highway was still new, but not full time. I guess these office workers of the olden days just took a lot of smoke breaks and liquid lunches, and, to hear my parents talk about their coworkers in the ’80s, “nose candy” breaks as well. Then they would fax each other cartoons you could barely read because they’d been reproduced so many times.

All this is by way of elaborate introduction to a best-of-Craigslist ad entitled, “I HAVE SNACKS GET IN MY BED.”

Join your anonymous ad poster in an imagined fantasy scenario:

I do not post lots, but this was definitely worth reading. Craigslist never ceases to amaze me. There was this post about a guy who wanted to buy a car for his gf, and stumbled upon some ad with something about Hitler… Very odd. Craigslist never fails to deliver on the strange goods.

I do not post much, but this was an interesting post. Craigslist never ceases to amaze me. I read a post on some site about a guy who wanted to buy a car for his gf, and he came across an ad with Hitler hidden text… Very odd. Craigslist never fails to deliver on the strange goods.

Spooning + beer + snacks always leads to “boaning”.
