I just discovered Craigslist Missed Connections, in which people can send messages into the internet abyss for someone they encountered but then lost. In the name of voyeurism, some samples:
"You walk by my stoop every afternoon. Yesterday, you were wearing a chartreuse chiffon poet's blouse with a fabulous pair of vintage eggplant Trina Turk cigarette pants (circa 1993) and cobalt snakeskin Chanel flats. Let me know if you are interested! To prove it's you, write back with the designer of the clutch you were carrying."
"I saw you on the F train at 4:23 pm on Friday. You were reading The Awakening, the Norton Critical Edition. You were on p. 79 and were averaging 3.68 minutes between page turns, which is 1.3 times the national average for Geneva 10 point typeface, which the Norton Critical Edition uses. Could you have been distracted by the dashing man in the goatee standing over you? I've always been a fan of Chopin, but didn't you think it was bizarre how she had to kill herself just because she was a woman? Would love to reconnect."
