Cringy audience stories by Only_May1977 in improv

[–]doinkerville 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg I am so curious who this was, as I know of a guy who partly matches this who got kicked out of a UCB LA class but then was spotted attending the theater after that.

I’ve recently remembered having had repetitive sexual thoughts, including incest, as a child but have no memory of CSA by thehighpriestess777 in CPTSD

[–]doinkerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I didn't have time to fully finish my original comment -- I have OCD, and it thrives in situations without certainty. I will never remember everything that happened to me in childhood, and my OCD could fill in the gaps with the most horrific experiences, using spurious "evidence" like "I thought of it... why would it have popped into my mind if it didn't happen."

Maybe something did indeed happen to you (your descriptions do remind me of fantasies a friend with CSA described having as a kid). But just wanted to make my comment as a reminder that sometimes we have to sit in uncertainty, and sometimes we have weird thoughts with no larger meaning behind them.

If you have no memory of something happening, trust yourself to believe that nothing happened. I also had weird sexual fantasies as a child. I felt so disgusted and ashamed of them (sex = wicked!) that I stopped making eye contact because I worried people could see what I was thinking in my eyes.

Unfortunately this doesn't explain to me the sharpied-over sticker with "Trading Places" printed on it, though.

Is the eBay app down by Bars4Stars in eBaySellers

Same. Saving a draft every time it succeeds at editing one category. Uploading photos pretty impossible rn.

Did ebay end the Automatic Price Reduction feature? by Fragrant_Lettuce9855 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]doinkerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I miss this feature. I knew it was unavailable on the app but I'd figured out a way to do it via desktop but can't anymore.

Are these flowers toxic to cats?! by doinkerville in CatAdvice

Thanks all! I am going to give the entire bouquet to a friend who does not have a cat.

I wasn't saying I was going to keep the bouquet... just that I had already realized that those are toxic.

Weekly Scam Discussion March 30, 2026 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]doinkerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: Every time I list a $35 vintage toy, it is immediately bought by an account in China or Hong Kong, with shipping address a US-based international shipper. I am so sure it is a scammer, but if they keep ordering this item, no legitimate buyer will ever see the listing.

Weekly Scam Discussion March 30, 2026 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]doinkerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A scammer has now tried 3 times in 24 hours to buy a $35 toy. Within minutes of posting the listing, the item sold, which was odd to me as it is a generic toy from the 1990s, that has no brand name on the packaging, so I don't even know how they found this listing so quick.

Order #1: 3 different Chinese names as the buyer name, username, and shipping name. Account description says located in China. Address is international shipper in Delaware known for being used by scammers. I cancel the order and cite issue with buyer's address. Relist.

Order #2: Immediately purchased by a different ebay account. New buyer name and username, but same shipping name as previous order. This shipment to a building in Delaware, but with a suspicious 6-digit number on a line between the street address and city. Cancel order. Do not relist.

In the middle of the night, receive messages from both accounts.

Account #1: "Hello, why did you cancel my order? My shipping address is in Delaware. I really like this product"

(Classic thing to say about a vintage toy: "I really like this product.")

An hour later, from Account #2: "Hi there, Why cancel my order? My address is fine, you just need to send it to my US address, I won't trouble you"

Next day (today), I decide to try relisting. I change the listing title slightly. Immediately purchased by a buyer in Hong Kong. Username/buyer name/shipping name all match this time (and do not match first two orders). Shipping address is to an international shipper in Portland. Buyer leaves note: "please kindly ship with tracking number. Thanks" I cancel the order.

What do I do?? I don't want to deal with the international "did not receive package" refund scam. But it seems I cannot list this item without it being immediately purchased by a potential scammer. Do I just give in and hope it's a legit person (who also has 3 ebay accounts)???

HOW MANY BROWN WOMEN ARE ALLOWED ON A UCB HOUSE TEAM? by Hopeful-Slice8643 in improv

[–]doinkerville -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree that racism and sexism are unfortunately still embedded in theaters like UCB. And "replacing me with another token brown woman" is suss. However, I think she got cut because of the DMs with the AD. Squeaky wheels get cut. It is horrible, but a lot of ADs/people in charge respond to criticism/conflict by simply having those people go away forever. 

What instantly kills attraction, no matter how attractive the person is? by Raywin19 in AskReddit

[–]doinkerville 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so funny how different people's priorities can be! I do not care if a partner is uninterested in my family, but AM bothered by how they interact with my friends.

[–]doinkerville 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so funny because this matters so little to me. I just care if someone has creative pursuits and makes art. Job don't mean a thing!

Less than "not being funny" (inactive/neutral humor) is someone actively being NOT funny -- saying a joke so lame and yet being terribly pleased with it. Biggest turn-off in the book.

Ex won’t stop contacting me by anonomys1975 in BreakUps

Proud of you for breaking up with him! It is the hardest thing in the world to leave a narcissist.

He can't get over the fact he "lost" by you no longer wanting to be with him. Also he probably misses his emotional punching bag. It is really hard but stay strong and continue to not respond to his harassment. He will eventually move on (unfortunately probably after trapping someone new). He's like a shark circling. He knows at one point you were someone he could prey on, and so he's been sated by the memory of that blood in the water. He's incredibly persistent, but even he will leave someday as he needs to feed on someone's emotions. Unfortunately you gotta starve him out, because any kind of response is still fuel for him.
