Best Of VA Missed Connections July 8 – July 14

by | Jul 14, 2020 | RICHMOND NEWS, WTF?!

Don’t look now, y’all, but the pandemic is back like it never left. So why not take refuge in the Missed Connections? Amid all the lonely people looking for love, or at least a hookup, we find at least a few honest-to-goodness missed connections still, and so we are bringing them to you this and every week.

Of course, we’re all back out in the world, at least for now. But if the Missed Connections are anything to go by, it seems people are still mainly running into each other in the same essential destinations — Sheetz, Target, Food Lion… you know the deal. But we manage to have entertaining encounters, complicated by masks and social distancing because it’s still 2020.

This month, people are trying to set up their own DIY bikini car wash, while others are getting heat for their parking lot conversations and still others are out at pool parties, risking the rona for some good times. Guess we’ll all see how that turns out real soon.

Stay safe, Virginia.

Car wash

Looking for a woman willing to wash my car in a bikini. I can come to you. I’ll bring a lawn chair and payment. Let’s pick a sunny day. Send a pic and how much you want. We can social distance. I’m just bored.
