Craigslist “Emergency” Taco Bell Delivery Request During Snowstorm Ends With A Full Stomach
The newest darling of the Internet for the next 15 minutes or so emerged yesterday, in the form of a guy asking someone with sufficient wheels to handle the whirling snow. He wrote (with some tidying of expletives):
“Guys it’s snowing like a bitch outside, I’ve had a few drinks too many, and my sh***y little hybrid douchemobile can’t possibly make it to the neighborhood Taco Bell in this weather,” he explained. “I need someone with a 4 wheel drive vehicle to come pick my drunk ass up, take me to the Taco Bell drive-thru, and drive me back home.”
He goes on to offer a fun time playing video games if the person isn’t a total creeper, and offers payment in tacos, chalupas or “whatever.”
“Seriously my desire for tacos right now is totally unmanageable, so I’d probably even buy you a 7 layer burrito if you asked nicely.”
The end of the story is provided over on Reddit, of course, where a post on his Craiglist ad came full-circle. The Craigslist poster joined the comments to let everyone know that he eventually sobered up and went on the Taco Bell mission himself.
“I am currently nursing my taco baby,” he wrote on the Reddit post.
However, he did get 25-30 replies by the time he decided to serve himself and thought the better of having a crusading stranger save him from his food quandary. All’s well that ends well, right?
