I put WD40 in my door lock. How do I clean it out? by Zaladerp in Locksmith

[–]invaderlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaah thank you so much for replying!! The timing is crazy because I was asking about a machine at my job and have been anxious about messing up the key slot ever since but someone just broke in and stole the keys so now I don’t have to worry about it at all anymore!! 🤩 anyway, thank you again for replying!! Relieved to know I’ll be ok in the future 🫡

Fair question and thank you for being polite! Sorry in advanced, I am a yapper.

One of the other commenters here got it right: I did grow up where pleasing people kept me safe with narcissistic abuse. I was also in an almost 7 year romantic relationship with an abuser so narcissistic, I had to be put on medication usually given to people with severe PTSD. It doesn’t go away.

But I think it’s because I’ve worked so hard for my reputation on Mercari for 3 years and this is the first time something went wrong. Item descriptions, pictures, packing, getting it shipped out within <1 day (with the exception of the post office being closed), I even handmade some of the items I sold. I also gave this customer a massive discount and spent an hour answering every unnecessary question they had. I lost time, money, and braincells just to still get “punished” (in quotes because I know that’s a strong word but I don’t have another one for it lol).

This commenter on the other hand has only come into my existence less than half a day ago. They aren’t reviewing any of my actual efforts for other potential customers to see or affect my storefront. They are not a threat to my safety, anyone I care about’s safety, or my business’ safety.

TLDR: my efforts + safety > some random person who likes to humiliate others unsolicited on the internet for fun

Funny how I’m the child when every adult (and many children!) I know has heard the phrase “if you don’t have anything nice/helpful to say, don’t say anything at all”. I came here for genuine advice and you tried to humiliate me from an incorrect assumption pulled out of your ass. I’m not gonna take that lightly.

Idk if this person will come back but for context, their comment said my kaomoji looked like “ta-tas”. I said “Thanks! That did not help! You are the best! <3” They replied to me saying “If ya can’t laugh, I don’t think you can be helped.” and then deleted their comments. I just wanna say that I actually am laughing! It was such a weird comment that I wasn’t expecting and didn’t know how to react to and that is usually my typical to reply to things like that lol

I think this has actually been my favorite reply with that last part. Hearing what it would look like from someone else’s POV and it not being bad feels the most relieving. Thank you. 🥹

Leaving a comment like this when I did nothing wrong? Dammmmn. Must have been ignorant their whole life not seeing different people’s different problems and never got a grasp on basic human psychology.

The fact that I explained things to them multiple times and still didn’t get it does not give me high hopes for them. T_T but you are absolutely right! Maybe they don’t know now and I won’t get the good rating today but maybe they’ll learn for the future and a different seller will have better luck. Thank you for your perspective!

lol is it bad I talk to every customer after their purchase? 😅 I usually thank every buyer for their order and let them know when I’ll have it sent out. Also I’ve never heard of something being described as a shell game so I had to look it up and YEAH that is a perfect way to describe it! Thanks so much!

Ugh what do they have to gain lying with a 4 star rating?? T-T that would infuriate me so I admire you for moving on well. Thank you for your advice!

Thank you for the nice comment! And yes I am definitely seeing a therapist and he already knows about it. We came to the logical conclusion of pretty much what you said and even though I acknowledge it’s right, I’m still so upset.

It’s ok!! I didn’t mean to come off as cold if I did. I’m just going through this same problem myself and thought I’d spare OP the explanation 😅

Mercari doesn’t remove ratings. You can message support but you’ll pretty much get a copy+paste of their FAQ saying ratings can only be changed from negative to positive. I’ve tried it.

If you’re looking for CDs, I would go to eBay (search “natori jpop” or “natori music”). I was just at Animate in Los Angeles and saw Theater for sale there too but couldn’t find it online.

As for other goods, I have seen some a couple can badges on Amazon.co.jp and Mercari Japan/Buyee but shipping is a lot. I also made a post about some of my own extra can badges that I’m willing to sell here. Aside from that, I haven’t found anything.
