This is a joke about Craigslist and Facebook marketplace listings. That’s why the sales person keeps saying to look at the “post” and not the sign. If you ever sell something online you will get hundreds of people like this. They clearly have the literacy to log on to the site and to ask questions in written form but still don’t read the post.

And ask the color when there is a picture right there.

You can lead a horse to fresh water, but you can't make them drink.

The literacy levels of people can be shockingly low, even if they manage to navigate the Internet. Some people literally just don't retain information that they read, they can remember one in five things in a listing.

It's a tragedy.

It's still horribly annoying.
