Clothing, not Singles

My original hate on for Kijiji is still alive and well thanks to the latest reply that was interested in the posting, wanted to “pick them up tomorrow”, then haggled me down to a price I’m embarrassed I accepted. But now we’re on day 3 and as many requests for my phone number. Sorry “chugz@*, you’re not getting my number, im pretty sure I got yours.

I told Hawthorne the majority of replies I get on Kijiji never amount to transactions (except the initial 3, those were awesome), but only requests for my number, or “what school do you go to?”, or “Do you want to meet for a drink and I’ll pick it up then?” wtfm? She says “why don’t you Google... hang on... ok, when you Google your email name, look what comes up, maybe that’s what they’re doing”. My blog comes up (I only have 7 people that follow this, which doesn't mean they read it, and 2 of them are Hawthorne) but my number of views was pretty high. Abnormally high for 7 people, unless you guys are checking back to see if I got off my ass to post anything, in which case... awwww, thanks! And sorry: s

I don’t know if she’s on to anything, or if Kijiji repliers are just odd as a rule.  I’m a wicked detective myself and can find out some obscure things about you if I want to, but that’s only if I have a personal interest. By posting my threads.. am I really advertising myself? Surely this is just bizarre coincidence. I’m advertising menswear! .
perhaps there really is a subculture to Kijiji ‘mens clothing’ category that I shouldn’t even know about, let alone be questioning :s
