How Trust Fails in Real Life
Common patterns. Familiar outcomes.
I wanted to buy four tops, so before paying I asked her if everything was available. She said yes and told me it would take three days. The conversation was normal, nothing strange. I didn't feel rushed, and I didn't feel like I needed to double-check anything. I just assumed that once she confirmed availability, delivery would follow.
When the delivery came, only one top arrived. Two were missing and one was suddenly unavailable. I asked what was left so I could choose something else, and she told me to wait till evening.
What came later wasn't what I ordered, and after that, nothing else came. I tried to message again, then call, then ask around if there was anywhere I could report the issue or recover my money, but there wasn't.
At some point, I realized there was no process, no protection, and no place to take the problem to. Once the money was gone, that was it.
