Crazy, crazy doll people...

[zallia]

Just got through reading how this one chick FAKED HER OWN DEATH, sent the certificate to SOOM and everything, just to get out of a couple of preorders, once everyone caught on to her and tried to get their money back. Holy crap, that's just nutters to the extreme.

That. Was. Fantastic.

In a train wreck, thank God it wasn't me sort of way. I have to admit that one of the things I miss most about the land o' Pullip-crack was when someone would go nuclear, lose their mind, and rip a bunch of people off. The ensuing drama was nothing short of amazing. (Not that I didn't/don't feel bad for the people getting screwed, but as a bystander, it was entertaining as hell.)

Second only to catfights. Ah, memories.

I'm thinking the only reason you'd want to be trapped on a boat with crazy doll people is because you were planning on stealing the dolls and killing people. One too many mystery novels set at sea.

Maybe she reads those too, and her whole plan was to fake falling overboard on the cruise to get out of paying for all of her dolls. I can just picture her rowing away in her little dinghy full of dolls cackling "So long, suckers!"

I can see going to meet-ups where you can get away if the people are awkward weirdos, but omg, maybe it's just my SAD, I would not want to be trapped for a week with that potential.

I think I left the pullip forums too soon for any good stuff. I do dislike the people for scamming, but sometimes I'm just like "Why did you keep giving them second chances in the first place and not filing claims?? Geez!"

Because they wanted to see how badly something could blow up in their faces! Or at least that's the only thing I can think of.

I only really remember one massive scam during the time I was into Pullips and that was the chick who got people to send her their Pullip heads so she'd do faceups and then... kept them. And the one time I got burned, it was just for like, seven bucks for a couple of shirts. So, so sad.

*cackles* I'm going to have that mental picture of the dinghy for quite awhile.

Aw, was that the BOGO nerd shirts with like batman and NES stuff on them?? Me and my bf at the time got burned on those, too. I think I let it go because I really just wanted the shirts. *sigh*

I think so, yes. I really wanted my shirts and was really excited and then... fell off the planet and sadness. I was even willing to believe she'd/they'd just seriously underestimated the amount of people interested but... damn. Curse you, lack of nerd shirts! Curse youuuuuuuu!
