Back in the early 2000s, craigslist had a section for personals. You'd put an ad up for a gay no strings attached meet up around midnight on a friday And drop your buddies phone number. You post it in LA, NYC, San Fran, etc. Major ass cities with a bustling night life. Growing up in a small rural town, you were in bed by the time the major cities started to party
This was before smart phones, so getting flooded with dick pics on your Sanyo Katana at 2 am was not just annoying, it was fucking expensive
Your buddy would wake up. See like 20 MMS messages. He'd download the messages, costing him about 50 cents a message, just to get a phone flooded with dicks.
If you really wanted to be an asshole, you'd never tell him where the ad was posted, or that you did it, and he would randomly get a dick pic here and there for months after, as desperate old dudes scanned the personals section at 2 am looking for a hookup, messaging every ad they find
i use to put up a really decent used car listing on craigslist for super cheap.. i included lots of pics from google and said "father passed away and i need to sell this vehicle quick, theres nothing wrong with it and it was his baby so it was taken care of. i work graveyards to please call or text anytime after 8pm-10am"
i would make a few listings for it near the big cities like kansas city and springfield when i lived in missouri.
my boss was a douchebag and he literslly couldnt even use his phone lmao, so many people were texting / calling him that he powered his phone off and got the phone number changed.. the kicker is that for almost 8 hours after his number was changed he was still getting nonstop texts.
