Just wanted to vent about what happened and how someone I trusted broke my beloved My Melody Skullpanda pendant.
Today, someone who I thought was my friend threw my bag into their trunk when I had my back turned - and I mean they chucked it, hard, like those viral videos of UPS workers throwing fragile boxes hard. As a result, my skullpanda pendant, which was attached to my bag, had her lips chipped off badly, like not just the paint, but a chunk of the hard plastic.
Fair to say, when I found out later (after getting out of their car), I was emotionally crushed. I had to buy her off of eBay because there was no way I could afford her at full market price, because im a college student and I pay for my own phone/food/bills and I work minimum wage. I loved her so much, and I only had her for a month.
I showed them what happened, and while they looked kinda sorry, they said that wouldn't help me buy a new one bc they needed their money for other stuff this month.
I'm devastated. I had bought a protective casing for her, buts its still in shipping....Im so sad. The My Melody Skullpanda is my favorite, and I got her as a celebratory thing for getting a 4.0 GPA and getting on the president's list. And now I feel like it was pointless. Financially....I won't be able to replace her for a while.
Im sad.
To be clear - I AM NOT USING THIS POST ON THIS SUB TO ASK TO BUY ANYTHING. JUST VENTING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
UPDATE: An incredibly kind redditor named trashpanda7117 has reached out to me and allowed me to buy a new my melody pendant from them. They had proof it was legit and showed me photos. They even threw in another skullpanda out of the kindness of their heart. Im incredibly thankful.
If anyone has an idea of what to do with my damaged one, id be grateful. She was well loved for the time i had her and id rather her not go to waste so... anyone wanting a secondhand skullpanda to customize feel free to holler in the comments. I want to make this a happy ending.
