12 Of Chicago's Craziest Craigslist Missed Connections
Jeremy Perkins

If you've never browsed the "Missed Connections" section of Craigslist, you're missing out on some interesting stories. Missed Connections are where people post on Craigslist, hoping to find someone that they met but never got their contact information, or someone they passed on the street.

The following 12 Missed Connections are from people in my city, Chicago, Illinois.

1. "Exchanged words...Blonde Lou malnaties!!!!"

"I Just held the door and we exchanged words but felt we did not finish or even start our conversation.
I can tell we connected..... I'm younger but...."

2. "North Chicago Arby's"

"Young man working the drive thru window. Man, you are good looking. Would love to provide whatever relief you needed!"

3. "lolla whats up eminem"

"- fist bump
- whats up eminem
- whats up

I screwed up and didn't ask for your number"

4. "Kind strangers"

"8/3 Last Thursday evening:

Crossing the street, I tripped and went SPLAT in the crosswalk. I fell so hard my hat flew off my head.

You: 2 white men that offered to help. You guys gathered the items that spilled out of my groceries bags and handed the bags to me.

Me: shocked & very grateful. I'm not a beautiful, young woman. So didn't expect help.

Thank you very much, you two!"

5. "guy who I asked about laundry cart in PPT elevator"

"We made eye contact & smiled as you were leaving the laundry area & I immediately regretted not walking to the elevator to talk a bit more. It'd be great to get in contact with you. :]"

6. "Hot Aldi Cashier"

"This is for the hot guy in his mid 20's your name starts with a "J" I was in your checkout line twice tonight, kind of seems like there was a connection, HMU and let's get together !"

7. "Pakistani Lady with three kids at Macys Schaumburg"


"You were with three kids, hazel eyes, white top, at Macys Woodfield Mall Schaumburg. You saw me twice. Saturday, August 5th.
Definitely Pakistani."

8. "Cat and Mouse on 94 by Gurnee"


"About 2:45 pm we played a little cat and mouse on the Tollway. You looked great driving that black car. I tried to keep your attention but you appeared to be on the phone. I exited on Grand but should have kept going!

You waved at me and I gave you a kind gesture as we parted. What make is your car and what was my gesture?

I must find you!"

9. "waitress at Elgin casino, I wanna spoil you."


"Hi I won a lot of money on a slot machine. it was in the high limit room. I gave you a decent tip for bringing me a drink.please contact me id love to spend my winnings on you."

10. "Gina on Green Line with Yorkie"


"You had short bleached blonde hair, big glasses, and carrying a 9 lb yorkie in your bag. We talked about the dog, how he travels well on the train, you got to bring him to work at least one Friday, and you're going to Michigan for vacay this week.

I would have loved to see if you could chat more over a coffee/drink, but had to get off at my stop and didn't have time to miss it :( Hope you and yer pup have a good break!"

11. "Girl in the office building"


"Idk who you are but when I saw you for the first time beautiful was the only word that came to mind. You were in a black dress with a white stripe at the bottom. You have reddish hair and an amazing smile.. your smile melted my universe. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I wore my jeans and a tan shirt, hat and glasses. Maybe you could hit me up."

12. "Monday Morning Run"


"As you ran past the Clubhouse, along the lake, I opened my window and saw you.
I live on the top floor, so I saw that you are losing your hair on top.
Cute. I then saw you again when I went downstairs and exited the building.
I made a mental note of what you were wearing, so please reply with those details so that I know it's really you. I hope you read this section of CL, but if not, I sure am going to keep my eyes open!"

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
