Pleather Couches
Found On: Baltimore Craigslist
By: Brad & Christine
Ive never sat on them. They were left by my former roommate. Im moving and will not be taking these with me. Maybe they could be of use to you. You haul away
Some days, I think the free classifieds are just an enormous experiment in measuring our collective mental health. When people respond to posts like this, a notification is sent to Forest Laboratories, and the Celexa factory runs an overtime shift. “Yep, they’re still just barely hanging on out there.”
Of course, if you inquire about this next one, the nearby pharmacies know they need to make sure they’re stocked up on Thorazine. Because you’re more than a little crazy, aren’t you?

our dog chewed up the top of this couch, other than that it’s still a pretty good couch. it also has a fold out bed that’s still in good condition. if you want it, just come and grab it anytime, there’s no cost. it could also make for a good bonfire or chew toy for your dogs.
It’s still a good couch. Not good enough for us. But good enough for plebs who look for free stuff online, like you
Oh, dear! And who chewed the bottom of the sofa? The baby?
When my boyfriend moved out of his flat, he tried to sell off a bunch of things (like the TV stand) first and put up a flyer in the laundry room. A woman called to come up and have a look at everything. EVERYTHING. She basically offered to buy whatever furniture was left, regardless of whether it was in the advert or not. That was fine with us: she ended up buying (for like ten dollars) his mustard-yellow, torn, stained, hard-as-rock, 30-year-old sofa that looked much worse than either of the above examples.
The facts are in: people dig ugly-as-sin couches.
Despite it appearing to be missing an armrest I’d still rather take the brown leathery one. The other one wouldn’t even look nice without the dog-chewed bits. That’s some fugly tartan right there.
Whew… That must have been a pretty big dog.
Yeah, I’m gonna guess that second one might not have been the work of a dog. It looks more like the place that some heinous lover decided to duck for the last 10 seconds of his/her life right before the shotgun blast.
I agree. What story’s a couch can tell.
Wait, the first ad is for pleather couchES. And the description mentions “them” and “these.” Therefore, there’s more than one couch. And presumably the poster picked the better couch to photograph.
Well a few years ago I had moved out with a few roommates. 2 of us had bought a TV (me) and the other got a stereo. The other one was broke and lived in squallor. I believe he wanted to “do his part” and bring something for the townhouse. So he talked for about 3-4 months about bring a couch from the basement of his mothers house, but he needed a truck to get it. One day I borrowed my dads truck for something unrelated and my roommate asked if we could pick up the couch. I didn’t want to be rude, so I agreed. Long story short we went to get the couch, there was a piece of fossilized dog crap under it and the cushions were harder then a 2×4, we didn’t really need it but we took it, and no one ever sat on it. It became an outside couch, then the Apartment management said we had to get rid of it, so then it became a dumpster couch, but never a craiglist couch.
I think my boyfriend actually bought that top couch because it’s in our apartment. And he WOULD pay money for it.
And this is why the nauga is all but extinct. You heartless bastards.
dang, it looks a lot like one i already have!
“our dog chewed up the top of this couch”
Can you blame it? I consider that a mercy killing. The dog did them a huge favour!
What is the plaid couch sitting on? And what kind of room is it in? Looks like maybe a sterile room in a secret underground scientific laboratory complex, like maybe something out of “Men in Black” or “Mission Impossible” or “Get Smart”?
I think in the interest of making it more attractive to the potential new owner, the sellers are trying to make the couch appear to be levitating… Apparently underestimating Craigslist buyers’ vision as well as their taste.
What you fail to understand is that for every shitty item put out there, there is a nut job who has some use for it.
Not to mention where do you think the guys from Mythbusters get the junk they use for their experiments?lol
That pleather couch could be easily fixed with some ugly grey duct tape. In fact, it just doesn’t look right without a bunch of duct tape on it.
I really want to know why this person has never sat on the couch. Was their roommate really that gross?
That really creeps me out. I might have actually considered going over there until I realized the person who used to know the owner of this couch wouldn’t even touch it with a 10 foot pole.
“I’ve never sat on them.” Are you sure? Are you really truly definitely sure? Because it sure as heck looks like SOMEONE sat on them! Hard! More than once.
no, I don’t blame him, it looks like the previous owner may have used it for purposes other than sitting as well.and while I agree that our couches have so many stories to tell,this couch may have to one day tell those stories to a jury.or perhaps it would weep quietly, and whisper…”why…..my god….why?”
