Small Delay (Nightmare Week) (Patreon)
Content
It started actually at the start of this month after a claim was made on an item I sold on ebay. Apparently, shipping something 2 days after the listing ended with tracking is somehow my fault when Royal Mail take forever to get it to the buyer. And this was not a cheap item either but something I needed to sell to make Xmas possible as my money had been stopped during that period (Apparently also, getting Bed Bugs treated is considered a "luxury" in the eyes of some. I wish I was making this all up....) and thus I've been in debt most of this month because of it. I did not want to do an "emergency commissions" thing because well, I'm way too behind on commissions as it is and adding a ton more is not going to make the situation any better. What made matters worse was I kept getting redirected to the Italian ebay site to try resolve it even after the tracking showed that the item had arrived to the buyer asking ebay/paypal to release my funds.
After forwards to last week, a whole 4 weeks since the item arrived to the buyer and all I get out of ebay is "please wait" 7 days, then after that another 7 days till I get to the point where I had to submit complains to both ebay and Paypal telling them how furious I was about all this. Finally just yesterday, they said I was in the right (Even after saying I wasnt at one point) and they would release my funds within 48 hours, so its looking hopeful at last but a whole month? And that's to say IF they release the funds tomorrow. People who know me know I can be calm and polite but I was at the point of telling them how mad I was and even threatening to contact trading standards (which seems to have led to the 48 hour promise yesterday). 14 years buying and trading with ebay and this is the worst they've been to me.
Then earlier last week, I witness a car collusion. At first it was just a "WTF" reaction but then a mother holding her child who was just missed by the cars runs towards me screaming "Oh my god oh my god, call an ambulance! My son has epilepsy!!!" as loud as she could and with complete fear in her voice which became stuck in my head for the rest of the day like a haunting sound that keeps looping inside which had me in in shock to the point where I was shaking. I did calm down eventually but it was still a scary experience (The ambulance did come quickly and took them away, so I assume they're just fine, the child was probably also shaken up as well).
If that was not enough, yesterday I had to rush to a neighbor's house with my dad after she suffered a fall. Her head got stuck under some furniture which me and my dad had to lift to get her out and then call an ambulance for her. Again, my nerves scared the hell out of me as the car collusion was just a few days ago so again after she was taken away, I was in shock once more. She was fine after I got my dad told me today how she was and despite having no idea what to do or say in the situation, my dad thanked me for my help, telling me not to worry as in his profession, it takes years to get used to talking to people when they're taking in delusion.
But yeah, it was certainly a scary bizarre week but I will get back to updates in the next day or so, which includes the "Donator's Choice" pic (Spoiler alert....Ashley won. XD) for last week and beginning this week, as well as other things I've been working on you'll see later this week. Thankfully a decent Royal Rumble last night was enough to cheer me up (Even laughing my ass off the moment Roman came out at number 30. XD) so it should not be long guys.
Oh....the Switch is only a month away too? Boy, how am I going to fund that, lol.
