I was looking on craigslist for an apt...some girl had this really pretentious ad, and she seemed like a total douche. So I emailed her to tell her she sounded like a cunt. She emailed back, saying that she knows who I am and that she's going to make sure I don't get a job at a good firm. How fucked up is that? I don't think it's bullshit, since she used the word firm instead of company. WTF? either she goes to school w/me or she's in recruiting at a firm I am looking at. That would be really fucking strange. Just my luck.

I just read below and saw PlayaJ is doing the same thing. I'll wait until later so she doesn't think they're related. I want this bitch to know that all kinds of different random people think she should fucking die.

Funny thing about that is that it is nearly impossible for her to hit that burden. Which is why companies rarely give detailed references. This is particularly true in Ca, if that where you are.
The Defendant needn't prove the truth of the statement. The burden is on the Plaintiff to prove its fallacy. In England, however, it's the other way around, hence a common confusion. It's incredibly difficult and rare for any plaintiff to win a lible/slander suit in the US. Anyway, irrelevant in this situation, since the apt. girl would only be telling a clear truth - that OP wrote her an email, sight-unseen, calling her a cunt.

It's highly unlikely she knows who you are and you don't know who she is. So if you cant peg her, don't worry about it much.
Also, how would she know what firms you are interviewing at, unless you've been advertising it. I'd send another e-mail threating to burn her apartment to the ground and be done with it.
Date: September 18th, 2005 3:56 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
Right, the only thing I can think of is that she is in recruiting or something (or that she goes to school w/me, in which case who cares). Still, though, I am paranoid.
Date: September 18th, 2005 3:59 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
If it turns out that she does know me, how fucked up is that? 8 fucking million people in this city, and this one knows me (and I don't know that many people).

I once sent a similar email to someone advertising an apt. on craigslist. I included some racist stuff in there as well. The first thing I did was create a fake email. You're a fucking idiot.

This could be your lucky day. New York firms suck and have shitty hours. Surely, if you could have a gotten a job in NYC, you can get a job in a chiller atmosphere.

Stop e-mailing her. The goal is to see if she actually knows Anon. If she get 10 e-mails the odds she'll respond in a similar manner to Anon goes down (assuming she doesn't just call the police for harrassment).
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:10 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
Christ, I'm getting paranoid now. I'm having visions that this becomes this year's "Monkey Fucking Scribe" incident, or worse....like she has all these friends in recruiting that she'll distribute the email to. Totally irrational, I know.
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:12 PM Author: provocative buff range
I'm telling you, defamation. She can't prove the e-mail actually came from you. Further no recruiter would ever open her firm to that type of liability, even if there isnt' a great shot at being sued.
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:24 PM Author: provocative buff range
The entire tone of the thing is definitely a higher end student. The fact she's dedicated to learning all of these random languages speaks of someone who has enough time on her hands to pursue other interests (definitely not a BigLaw recruiter, particularly aoround this time).
The lack of books in the work area is somewhat off-putting but she has the standard law student laptop as opposed to a pc.
The fact she is anti-late hours also speaks to someone who doesn't often have to work late, which is absolutely not a law recruiter at this point.
I think she's the product of a wealthy background who is in school after a few years of working.

I just sent her this:
Hello,
I am interested in becoming your roommate. I am a 30 year-old female who works as a midlevel associate at a law firm in Manhattan. I am a non-smoker, quiet intellectual. Here is a picture of me: http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/7241/mypciture3yk.jpg

Here's her email, BTW...
Hey anon2112...
Do you know what karma is? Man, oh man, have you just screwed yourself.
I know who you are... and I will definitely not forget what you did. I thought you were an asshole the first time I met you, and this confirms it.
If you ever wander why you did not get that promotion, raise or new job at that really great firm... it will be because of what you did. You never know who has their finger on the good reference or bad reference button.
This ad was not directed at you, yet you decided to look at it... and then respond to it... in an incredibly immature and idiotic way.
You may as well move out of town now… because I will make sure you have a meaningless career in New York City.
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:28 PM Author: provocative buff range
Ok, that settles it, she is DEFINITELY not the recruiter.
Recruiting people wouldn't be the ones that dole out the references. The fact that she responded by swearing also really suggests she's younger and not in recruiting.
The fact she needs to make overt threats suggests she doesn't really have the power to do what she is threatening. People with real people don't bother with threats, they just PWN.
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:31 PM Author: provocative buff range
I disagree. If she was a recruiter there's a substantial chance that what she would be doing would open the firm up to a lawsuit (recruiters get specific training about this type of stuff) and she would never leave a paper trail.
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:36 PM Author: provocative buff range
Maybe not, but the lawyers in the firm are, which is why they insist on H.R. people getting appropriate training so that they might be educated in this type of situation.

By using the word firm, she also covers I-bankers and all those finance types in addition to lawyers. She probably associates with a lot more douchey professional types, so she'd be more likely to say firm. And the fact that she makes such a petty threat (with profanity) by email makes it clear that she's not much brighter than you, Mr. Send Shit From My Home Email.

"And the fact that she makes such a petty threat (with profanity) by email makes it clear that she's not much brighter than you, Mr. Send Shit From My Home Email."
She was smart enough to use an anonymous email. But I laughed at your comment.

YOU WON'T GET A PROMOTION! Despite the lock-step nature of firms, you'll stay a first-year associate forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date: September 18th, 2005 4:40 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
Thinking about it clearly it seems near impossible that she knows me. Anyone who knows the legal market knows you don't get raises (well, the raises are lockstep) or promotions...she would have said make partner or some shit; she would have been more specific. She probably just used the word firm because it's generic, and she wanted to scare me.
Date: September 18th, 2005 5:24 PM Author: Crimson weed whacker
I got the feeling that she might be British. She called take-out food "take-away." I think they do that. They also call companies "firms." Just a theory, but even if I'm wrong, she's full of it.
She's really picky about who she wants as a roommate. You can't cook meat, have different tastes than her, have a gf/bf, have a different work environment, be under 25, or use emoticons. What a whorebag.
Date: September 18th, 2005 5:34 PM Author: cream cumskin
No cooking meat when I'm in the house. Actually, it eas red meat, since I cooked fish and she was always nice enough to put up with that stink. So no beef or pork cooking in the house when I'm there. It makes me want to throw up.

The fogbreathers say "chinese take out" like us from what I remember. I just think this bitch compensated for her illiteracy by reading a lot of truman capote.

Yes, and vernacular is the language you use while most comfortable. Using professional and academic jargon while watching the fucking Flintstones must be a living hell, like sucking your gut in all day long while a supermodel hangs out in your kitchen.
It will be our dialectical goal to utilize quantitative data that posits a rhetorically safe answer for the pedagogical query made by our temp who wishes to maximize our corporate effectiveness in finding out who left the fucking toilet seat up.

Not worrying about the toilet seat being left up is the major plus about living alone. No more half-drunken contact with a month's worth of dried piss, pubes, and cat hair.

Dude:
I thought I WAS DOING YOU A FAVOR...
But this woman is for real.
I applied for the apt. did a real good job, left my number.
She called me and we talked for like- 20 mins.
You are sooo fucked!!
He dad was a chef, but he died. Her stepdad is a Partner in a fucking huge firm.
She is a good friend of Jane Ginsburg... fucking Bader Ginsburg's daughter's best friend!
you are soo done! I don't want to know you or anyone who knows you. It might be catching.
And the rest of you stupid asses that have emailed her...
did you ever hear of an ISP number? No matter what email you use, it can be traced right back to your access provider.
AND... those that may have not realized that if you harass someone over the internet it is considered over state line... which make it FEDERAL.
She used the word Karma...
What makes me eevn more frustrated is that you let all these assholes inspire you even more. I asked if anyone sesnt her mail. Three did. All the rest of you are too busy with your dicks in your hands.
Liars surround you, sir and you should make amen’s ASAP. Although practicing law in Canada probably isn't so bad.
This will teach you to respect women!!
God, is this is the pool from which I have to use to produce my progeny... Lord help me.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:41 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
OK, now this sounds to me like you are the girl from the ad. In any case, I am sending an apology off right now. Whether or not she is (or you are) somebody important, it was a silly thing to do nonetheless.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:45 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
nope, not her, but I felt real sorry for her. She was actually very nice.
It is bad enough to have to deal with all the jerks in the world, but you guys have shown me how you really feel about a woman having an opinion. If one of you wrote it, there would not have been such a bitch session about it. And BTW, us girls wouldn't have kept it up with such bullshit added on. I will email mail her if you want and offer an apology, but I feel bad that she will know I was lying to her.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:49 PM Author: Underhanded adventurous community account
Your friend is a worthless cunt, just like you. Any apology would be less than worthless and only indicate the lack of respect he feels towards you since he still believes deep in his soul both of you are worthless cunt whores.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:48 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
BTW, she wasn't young sounding. I got the idea that she was over 40 or so. And she asked for over 25. Her stepfather is a founder, so that could make her about that age. Of course, he could have been older than her mom. I wish I had asked.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:52 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
You all sound like your 12 fucking years old. Grow the hell up.
You shouldn't listen to them. They aren’t your friends. Do you think they give a shit about you? Do you think they care if one competitor gets cut from the herd?
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:56 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
dude, I saw images. The place is fine. I really wish I coudl live there. Maybe you don't know NYC. I do. I was born there. Being 30 or 40 with a roommate is nothing. Maybe she is divorced.
She asked for female only... now I know why. You guys are asses.Obviously she is a lesbian if she rejects you. god you are pathetic.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:58 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
I sent you an email BTW. Again, I'm thinking you are the girl from the ad since 1) ag2005 emailed her the link, and 2) the girl from the ad was a chef, and basmati is a type of rice, IIRC. Anyway, again, I apologize.
EDIT: I took down the link. Sorry if you got spammed.
Date: September 18th, 2005 6:59 PM Author: iridescent dog poop
"SHE" IS YOU, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I have lived in NYC my whole life and that apartment is SHIT. If you have a roommate at 40 you are a FUCKING FAILURE. What's your job title? SECRETARY. Your dad is a "master chef," which means he FLIPS BURGERS AT MCDONALD'S IN HARLEM. SHUT THE FUCK UP and GET OFF THIS SITE, you trasparent bitch! And get a fucking college degree and an apartment that looks more advanced than my Princeton dormroom. That's right, I went to Princeton. FUCK OFF, you quasi-intellectual City College Cunt. HTFH!!

She's asking for an english butler and a french cook and an african slave and probably a cuban lover all in the same person, she's a turd and deserves none of this victory she's been given. That xoxo people have their own faults has nothing to do with this.
Date: September 18th, 2005 7:04 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
No, you...er, she hasn't written back yet. I don't think she will...why would she? In any case, it doesn't matter, as I apologized and I'm sure she realizes that I understand that what I did was stupid. I doubt she felt too terribly about some idiot she's never met calling her an offensive name (but, I suppose it does suck in its own way).
Date: September 18th, 2005 7:14 PM Author: Tan cracking property circlehead
Oh, totally.
Where's the harm, though? Notice how basmatinice has stopped posting...that was obviously her, and she's satisfied. I'm satisfied. Is she who she says she is? Nope. Does it matter? Nope.
Date: September 18th, 2005 7:16 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
You people are so fucking paranoid. How the hell would she know where you are and what you are doing?
I am probably the youngest person here and I have more sense that all of you.
Rub a couple of brain cells together!!
dude: You should take this as a lesson and hope to hell she does not follow through. Judging others is something small people do. You have pulled me down into your toilet. For that I am sorry. You are a miserable bunch of asses who will probably ending up with meaningless lives.
She really was nice. I felt like a jerk immediately for lying to her. She has the right to ask for someone who will be right to live in her place. I saw pictures of the bedroom. It was beautiful, full of nice furniture.
She asked me if I would be ok with her not being around much. I got the feeling she really wanted a housesitter.
I know the price was not half the rent, for sure! That was one nice place.
She probably blocked you. I hope you can apologise.
Date: September 18th, 2005 7:24 PM Author: Wonderful State Water Buffalo
you are so stupid.
Do you not know about how the universe gives us all hints on how to act and behave?
You have been given a gift. I tried to do you a good deed. Instead, you listen to those who would let you drive home wasted, etc.
I doubt if any of you have had to struggle for anything. My family worked hard for me to achieve my goals. And i have nothing to be ashamed of by trying to help you. I felt an obligation to show you that you were right to feel bad, and to act like a man and apologize. Instead you listen to these asses who tell you to go ahead and be a boy instead of a man. I am closing out for good. I actually have some where to go, unlike the assholes that sit here and type away with one hand.

This is absolutely nothing in terms of the pwnag3 that's gone on today. I don't actually think she called herself craigslist cunt and kept posting (although I am certain that she was the basmatinice girl).
