It’s already 2024, and people still can’t take accountability for their own (sometimes stupid) mistakes.
Exhibit A: This “content creator” used a cutter to open the photocards they bought and blamed the seller for it.
Like, huh?
Anyway, here’s the story time.
So user @/jsmjoyy is a photocard seller on TikTok, with her X account being more focused on SEVENTEEN merch. On January 4, 2024, they posted screenshots of a conversation with a buyer who called them a scammer and even threatened to report them for their “faulty packaging.”
The Tweet was captioned, “My packaging is safe and stable. It’s your fault for using cutter even if u can open the envelope easily by removing the sticker.”

@/jsmnjoyy later continued with another Tweet with the caption, “Thousands of pcs sold wala naman reklamo sa packaging ko. I always ask my previous buyers about my packaging if okay ba or what and they would always say na secure. This is how my envelop looks like u can rip it of or remove the sticker carefully. So sinong may mali?”

And another Tweet with a picture of how the buyer in question opened their packaging.

Without looking at the reactions of people on the Internet, it was already obvious that the buyer was definitely in the wrong for how they opened the packaging (which was an envelope, btw). And even amped up their mistake by threatening to report the seller and branding them as a scammer.
But the people also have to be heard—here are some of their reactions to this….mess. The seller even quoted her own Tweet with an unboxing tutorial. Luto.

Obviously, the saying “the customer is always right” can’t be applied to this situation, nor can it be applied to everything. It even goes to show how some people can be just as irresponsible, entitled, and tactless when it comes to dealing with different kinds of people—specifically those in retail.
It’s quite embarrassing to say the least, that there will always be these kinds of people that’ll take out their anger on people that did no wrong in an effort to justify their mistakes without even acknowledging them at first. Even going so far to play the victim when the cards aren’t playing in their favor.
Again, it’s 2024. Why are people still so unwilling to own up to their own mistakes and deal with the consequences? Is that how your parents taught you while growing up? Well then, shame on you and shame on them. This is one of the reasons why we all can’t be better as a society.
It’s high time for these people to grow up. Seriously.
