So I've only got a part time job at the moment. Thinking like i normally do when looking for work i post an add on CL's resume/job wanted section.

I go out to do some laundry at around 3:30 come home at 5:30 and look at my phone to see 13 missed calls from a private number. thinkings its odd, I wait for the next one. well the next one comes. a guy on the other end asking the standard stuff IE age, area i live in stuff like that. then he starts asking me if im "desperate for cash" and i explain no, im not a prostitute im looking for a real job and hang.

well not 10 min ago I get another call so i hang up. he calls again, this time repeatedly asking if im gay. i talk over him explaining if he calls again im going to call the cops. CL is getting worse and worse

This is nothing new. CL has been a magnet for creeps for a long, long time.

Use with extreme discretion and caution.

Hey, work is work. It may have been a ***job he was after. I know you said you are not gay, so please don't take too much offense. I got asked once if I was gay. I replied, "No. I'm usually not even in a good mood."

Or as Uncle Gabby replied, when Drinky Crow asked him if he was gay:

"No...



...but my hiney is!"

I put an ad on CL looking to jam and had mentioned I'm female. I got some very creepy calls. One guy flat out asked me if he could give me a massage if we jammed. Sick.
