Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Tell him how your phone was acting strangely, and you could have a date Last week, a guy shopping in Ocean State Job Lot in Westborough noticed you. You being a redhead on crutches with a cell phone that was apparently doing "weird things" while you were shopping. We're not sure what your cell phone could have been up to, but if you can prove you're the woman, this man wants to talk with you. He would have talked to you then, but it would have been "weird" because he had his child with him. The guy's straight, but he really likes the way you cut his hair Hey Mark, a hair stylist in Shrewsbury—there's a guy who goes into your…

Also, free hideous couches, and free haircuts (which probably aren't hideous).
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Couches for free, if you can bear to look at it A person in Holliston is parting with two couches that were popular, quite possibly, for a few weeks in the early '90s. Maybe. Both, which are in good condition and do not smell of smoke or pets, would be "great with a slipcover" and are "very comfortable." You've got to pick them up. Did you happen to pick up a full set of golfclubs, in a bag? Yeah, someone is missing those. A person driving a truck near the Northborough/Berlin town line (the Solomon Pond area) returned home to find the tailgate opened, and the clubs nowhere to be found. In the event that two people lost a …

Yes, this is really out there.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Natick guy "looking for a 420 connect" A guy in Natick said he'd be in town and has some "top quality 420 that I need to get rid of." He can deliver, he said, to the Natick or Framingham area. He even lists his prices, but won't deliver to Boston, because Boston cops apparently are more likely to read Craigslist and pick up on pot sales on the internet. Will looks for Grace A single, gay male living in Framingham is looking for a single, straight or lesbian "gal pal." He'd like someone close to his age with varied interests ... someone to go to a club or a bar once in a while, cook a meal, shop or dine out. Pack a rake, a …

And can you possibly help move 'ferniture?'

This oven in Grafton has plenty of good toasts left in him. In honor of Earth Day, this family really dreads tossing this perfectly healthy toaster in the trash. While he may not be as handsome as the models you see in the magazines, he's a rugged, hardy worker who has kept himself clean and still has all his knobs. Please be serious if you call about this toaster oven. He's waited at the door a number of times only to be stood up. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, but he met you Not quite. But close. You were working as a host at a restaurant in Natick. You, a…

Craigslist is full of information ... and crazy surprises.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. We learned this week while browsing the listings on Craigslist that spring brings out the people full force posting in the "missed connections." Like blooms on the vine, these people are awakened to profess their love on the internet. Natick man looks for love in the platonic section A man from Natick is not only confused about the spelling of a number of words (such as "permanent"), but he's clearly unclear about the definition of the word "platonic." That's where he seeks a "women"–not a "fling," but "one chick." He's Italian, just moved to Natick from NYC and asks that you not respond unless you're looking for a …

Man says sorry for scaring a woman in the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, and more.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. What we learned this week: there are a few guys out there looking for pot smoking "buddies" to hang out with, people still don't know the difference between "you're" and "your" and there are lots of curb alerts. A Dunkin Debacle (we didn't say drunken, we said Dunkin) A man issued a heartfelt apology on Craigslist, saying he is sorry he perhaps made a woman pee her pants in the Dunkin Donuts Drive-Thru in Marlborough recently. Apparently, the man was enraged when he saw the woman chuck an old iced coffee cup out the window. In anger, he picked up the cup, knocked on the window, asked if she had dropped something, and dumped …

You've got it. The best ... and worst .. of Craigslist this week.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. He saw you at the mall and you may have noticed the guy who was attached to his phone. A "good looking, athletic guy" saw you in the Natick Mall. You had on tight pants and looked amazing and gorgeous. You probably remember this guy being on his phone or holding his phone. You definitely locked eyes, but he didn't speak to you because he didn't want to be "that guy" creeping at the mall. Every time he came near you, you moved away, but he wants you to contact him Some of us swear by online dating. Others have romantic thoughts of catching someone's eye on the street, or in a cafe. This man in Framingham has "always dreamed …

Here is the latest and greatest we found on Craigslist this week.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Highway connection It seems lots of drivers on the Mass Pike get shot with Cupid's arrow. Another man now looks for a "gorgeous" woman who was driving on March 13 around 6:30 p.m. on the Pike, getting onto the Exit 13 exit near the Natick Mall. "So like everyone else I can't believe I am posting here, but I really have no idea how else I could find out who this girl was. You were driving a Honda CRV (I think), you had dark hair, and you were absolutely gorgeous. So I had to find out if you were single, and what your deal is. I hope this works!" Let us know at Patch if it does work. Well, the car started yesterday Today, the …

Craigslist: it ain't got no good grammar, but it's got lots of deals and love.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. If only there were a word that rhymed with "wild" There is a poet in Natick, and his work is on Craigslist. Here is a taste: "You found me out in the wild/Your picture from your ID was sexy and you had three childs/ We first dated and played on the ice/My ATM card was declined... Oops not so nice." You get a hiking and TV partner; he gets out of debt A 30-year-old MetroWest man seems to have gotten into some financial hot water. It's "pretty serious" and he "needs help fast." This man is looking for a friend to help him with his debt. What do you get for being a "sugarmommy?" He can dedicate about 20 hours a week to being …

And here you have the best (and worst) of this week's Craigslist postings.
Editor's Note: Patch has no control over the status of these posts on Craigslist and how long they remain available. Free paint (samples)! Who cares if it is free in the first place. You can save the trouble of going to Home Depot yourself and contact this person in Framingham who is parting with two samples of paint that he got at the Home Depot. If you are debating between antique red and pottery red, you've really hit the jackpot. Strangers on the Pike, exchanging glances ... strangers on the Pike This week, around 4 p.m. on the Mass Pike near the Natick/Framingham line, you caught the eye of another guy, who was a passenger in a car in the third lane. He is the one who was probably staring at you. You were wearing a plaid shirt and …
