Selling dirty used panties on Craigslist

Hey, so my internet's back. Yay! They said

that it would take up to 3 days, but they

actually got it done, repaired, pretty

quickly the next day. So I woke up this

morning and I checked to see if Wi-Fi was

available, and it was available. So I'm

pretty happy about that. So I kind of have

this quick story that I want to tell you

about, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to

make this video because this story is kind

of messed up, and I didn't want people to

think that I'm some kind of weirdo, like

some kind of perverted creep, but I don't

think there's any chance of hiding that

fact anymore. It was just absolutely

terrible not having internet yesterday.

It felt like the end of the world. I

couldn't do anything I wanted to. I wanted

to play Prey, but even though that's an

offline game, you need to be able to log

on to Steam to play it. And I tried

logging in— logging on to Steam on the

offline mode, and it said, in order to

play this game on offline mode, first

launch the game in online mode. Well, I

couldn't launch the game in online mode

because I didn't have any internet.

Idiots. I did have mobile data on my

mobile phone, but that's really slow and I

couldn't upload any videos apart from that

10-second video that I uploaded yesterday.

And it was just really irritating because

I took the day off yesterday from work so

I could do some stuff like make some

gaming videos and upload some other

videos, but I couldn't do anything and I

was really irritated about that. So it was

nice to get the internet back today. I

played Prey for like 2 hours and that

video is going to go up sometime tonight.

It's a really large file. It's like 8

gigabytes worth of footage from Prey and

it's basically just me rambling and

ranting about random stuff. So if you're

interested in that, it's on my gaming

channel. It's basically just like a

podcast with just me on it. So the

internet guy came from the internet place

and he switched over some wires in the

internet box, which is down the road, and

apparently he switched the wrong wires and

he didn't check to see if he would— if he

did it properly. Properly, and he just

left. And then a few hours later, he

phoned us saying, oh, sorry, I switched

the wrong wire, it might take up to 3 days

to fix it. It was really pathetic. Why

didn't he just check to see if he did the

job properly before leaving? So that was a

bit irritating. And I did like a speed

test for the internet, and it's not that

much faster than my previous internet. My

previous internet was getting like 7 to 8

megabits per second for download speed,

and my new internet now is getting like

10. 10 to 9, 9 to 10 megabits per second

at best, which isn't that much faster. My

dad did say that they were going to do

like tests to try and optimize the

internet, the new cable, to make it go

faster, but I'm not sure when that's going

to happen. So my, my goal is to do live

streaming at some point, but I'm not sure

if my internet is going to be fast enough

to do live streaming even with the

upgrade. So I guess we'll have to find

out. Anyway, so the story I want to talk

about, it's kind of a messed up story,

and this happened when I was like 16 to

17, so don't judge me. Don't judge me too

badly. I was only 17. I was young. I had

no shame. I had no moral compass.

Completely different to the current

Daniel. So if I tell you this story, you

have to promise not to tell anyone because

it's pretty embarrassing. So when I was

about 16 to 17, I was very desperate for

money, and one of the ways I used to make

money was by selling used underwear on

Craigslist. So what I used to do was I

used to go onto Craigslist and I'd make

this post titled something like, um, I'm a

Japanese girl trying to sell my used

underwear, and then I'd write like a

description explaining my situation. I'd

write something like, I'm a foreign

exchange student from Japan living in

London and I need to make some extra

money, so that's why I decided to sell my

used underwear. And I'd buy some women's

underwear and I'd take photos of them and

put them on the post. And I'd also take

some photos of myself wearing the

underwear. And because I have a very

slender and slim body, at certain angles

and in the right light, I can make my body

look very feminine in photos. Obviously I

wouldn't show my face. And also with a

little bit of help from Photoshop, I could

make my body look very girly. So I used to

wear the underwear for a few days, let it

get nice and sweaty and kind of develop a

smell. And then if anyone sent me money,

I would just send them the underwear. The

problem was sometimes people got a bit

suspicious and they would request a photo

of my face. And if I said, sorry, I can't

show you my face because of privacy

reasons, they would, they would back out

and they wouldn't pay the money. So what I

had to do was I had this Taiwanese friend

on Facebook and she used to like to take

selfies. She took a lot of selfies, like

hundreds and hundreds of them. So I went

onto Facebook and I started looking

through her photos. I must have searched

through like 500 photos, and I found the

perfect photo. It was her face, and she

was holding up this piece of paper that

had something written on it. And a lot of

the times customers would say, can I have

a photo of you holding up a piece of paper

with today's date and my name? So what I

used to do was I'd take this photo of my

Taiwanese friend, and I used to edit out

the words that were on the piece of paper,

and then I'd very carefully write in

the date and that person's name on the

piece of paper. And I used to zoom in on

the pixels at like pixel level to make it

look like it's actually handwritten. And I

changed like the colors so it actually

looks like it was ink. It was very

convincing. And a lot of people actually

fell for it, but there were still quite a

few people who weren't falling for it. I

used to charge about £10 per piece, so it

wasn't like a huge amount of money. And I

never actually accepted real money. I

never accepted like cash or payments into

my bank. I would only accept Amazon gift

vouchers. I wasn't really scared of

getting caught because how are they gonna

prove that I'm not actually a girl? And

even if they could prove that I wasn't a

girl, is anyone actually gonna go to the

police and say, I bought used underwear on

Craigslist and he said he was a girl but

he was actually a guy, just over like £10?

So I wasn't really afraid of that. I'm

actually curious to see what the police

would do if someone like phoned them up

and said that. Maybe I should phone up the

police myself, or maybe I should ask the

police next time they come into the petrol

station and say, So, um, I bought used

underwear on Craigslist and he said he was

a girl, but he was actually a guy. I feel

like I've been scammed. Can you do

anything? They'll just laugh at you,

won't they? People steal stuff from the

petrol station all the time, especially

the Irish people. They'd come in and

they'd steal like £50 worth of alcohol,

or they'd take petrol and they won't

actually pay. They'll just drive off with

like £80 worth of petrol or £100 worth of

petrol. And then you tell the police and

they'll just say there's nothing they can

do about it. They don't do anything even

though we have CCTV footage. And evidence

that they've stolen it, the police don't

take any action because the police aren't

going to go on like a manhunt all around

the area just for £40 or £50. They've got

more important things to be doing, like

standing around eating coffee and drinking

donuts all night. No, I have complete

respect for the police and everything they

do. Anyway, I decided to stop doing this

because I realized it's like a really

shitty thing to be doing, tricking people

into thinking that I'm a girl. And also,

it wasn't really making much money anyway

for the efforts that I was putting into

it. Not a lot of people actually believed

that I was a girl, so even if I did manage

to sell some, it was like £5 one week and

then £10 a few weeks later. It was like

peanuts, like maybe at most £20 a month.

But it was fun and exciting. I really

enjoyed wearing the women's underwear. It

kind of felt like I was embracing my

feminine side. A lot of people were

actually interested in buying underwear

from me. The only thing that was holding

me back was that when they asked me to

show them a picture of my face, I couldn't

prove that I was a girl very well. And

even with the Facebook friends picture, a

lot of people didn't believe it and they

would back out. Sometimes I really wish

that I was actually a girl so I could sell

underwear legitimately and like show

people my face if they requested it,

because if I was a girl, I would totally

do that stuff. And sometimes I even wish

that I had a girlfriend that would let me

take photos of her so we could kind of

like sell Used underwear on Craigslist

together. I know it was super fucked up.
