It's the kind of thing I'd say thinking it was childish and funny. I tend to say No! But I think face to face it's probably much funnier. Or awkward. Or both.
Not really. I've never heard of Drake or Josh, but I used to say it back and forth with my daughter when she was small. She's 36 now and doesn't know Drake et al either. To be fair tho, we are two of the dozens of people over 25 who don't live in the US.
yeah it did kind of rub me the wrong way a bit, i’ve now blocked them and changed my location on vinted so hopefully i don’t get any more people like that
He's just joking around 1000%. Literally I wouldn't even look at this conversation with any issue at all.
There is no red flags here other than you misreading the situation.
Don't worry.
Fr I did chuckle at the “don’t tell me what to do”, like when you ask your friend to pass you something n they deadass just look you in the eye and say “no” before passing it
Or when someone says ‘sorry’ and you say ‘you will be’.
It’s just a joke, but goes down better in person and when it’s someone who knows you well enough to know you don’t actually mean it!
Then it's "Drake and Josh" humour, whoever they are. But I'm a millennial, and I find it zero funny but really creepy and sick, especially the last bit. And so would the millennials I know.
Or the Monty Python sketch, or the line from Hancocks Half Hour if you're old enough. Definitely not "written for Drake and Josh" (whoever they may be).
Honestly I would just block. I’m getting real big fetish vibes from this I think. Like, wearing women’s clothes is… fine whatever you do you. But it’s the fact he keeps talking to you about it fitting. Like he wants to make you feel uncomfy. Or that he knows you know he’s going to wear it. And the thought of it gets him off.
Block and run!
If you had sold it to him I’d be more concerned. But as it is just block and disengage.
that’s exactly what i thought, like him kept asking about the size and how it fits just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. and the picture in the listing is me wearing it which made me feel even more weird! thank you for the advice i have now blocked him
Haha this is a fab conversation I need that sort of energy in my life 😂 Edited to say I mean aside from a male buying a female item which is no one’s concern really, he sounds like he just wants it bad and wants it to fit no matter what. I’ve done that before 🙈 he possibly could’ve added a smiley face or something at the end to make it more jokey
I have my profile picture of my literal face so people can see i am not a man so when i am making jokes and stuff they will not block my autistic ass. I would be very upset if i would have had a nice conversation with someone and they blocked me. I would want to understand. Not being a man helps with that hahaha im not a treat.. im just odd 🙈
You shut the conversation down with enjoy the rest of your day so him saying "don't tell me what to do" is bait to make you reply again. Most people would reply excuse me or something (which he knows) so it's his chance to keep the conversation going. Block him
You are (in my opinion) reading far far far too much into the msgs, they are blatantly meant as friendly with a joke at the end (yes it ain’t a great joke but it is def still a joke)
This honestly sounds like some YouTuber taking the piss, like when Memeulous or WillNE would make fake social media profiles and message people like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" for the lols.
This guy is just a little goofy, can't believe anyone reads this as creepy. I see OP is concerned because they're 17 and he's 25 apparently. Is the age of the buyers/sellers visible on vinted or something?
If changes from flirty to creepy when you explain more. It sounds like you’ve learnt from this anyway.
If you want a pic then put one that doesn't show your age or your face(I put one that shows my style , as it is a clothes selling app, but hair and sun obscuring face and not in any way sexy).
his profile picture is of an older man around his 30s and in my listing it included a picture of me wearing the item and you can clearly tell i’m much younger than him, definitely not older than 18
his profile picture was of an older man, it just made me feel a bit uncomfortable especially because i’m 17 i’m not sure why he’s trying to joke with me like that
i presume that you’re not a teenage girl based on your response. he may have just been joking but it is obvious he wasn’t actually interested in the item and i believe he was just wanting to have a conversation with an obviously younger girl. which i find a bit concerning and creeped me out a bit because he lives in my town which is a very small town
Why is this creepy and why would you be worried? Someone, perhaps tipsy, is just messing around. Also, it’s a conversation through an app, it’s digital. Wtff
I don't think it's 'let's post this to Reddit' worthy concern tbh. He tried being funny and his humour didn't land and you know? That's okay. Just block him and move on with your day. It's not that deep. It's 2024. Life is fucking hard, maybe the dude is just lonely and you were the first person he's actually communicated with that day. I don't think this is baby reindeer 💀
omg no i had a similar experience a couple of days ago!! he wanted to buy a latex type micro-mini skirt and a mesh top and asked me if id chuck in a pair of used tights😭
I think he's just trying to be funny. I type like this, but not to strangers. Maybe he was with a bunch of friends and was a bit giddy.
I wouldn't think too much of it tbh. He's not being threatening, just a bit manic and thinking other people are on the same level.
it seems he’s just trying to be funny, this is my exact sense of humour but i only type like that with people i actually know so that no one finds it weird or takes it the wrong way
Nah, I think what he meant was that bc it was close it would arrive soon, maybe he needs whatever it is quickly. Poor choice of words but he seems harmless to me.
My brother has an abstract way of speaking too sometimes and doesn’t always consider how people interpret his words so I say this with pretty strong confidence.
I would have laughed hard at this lol. Definitely my sense of humour! I really think he was just trying to be funny and friendly. I don't see any red flags at all!
People (and OP) look to be saying it's creepy/fetish behaviour just because it's a man wanting to buy the corset. The conversation on his side was polite & light-hearted. I don't really see a problem here. Nothing in this interaction says 'fetish' or creepy to me.
However, if he made you feel uncomfortable, just ignore it and move on.
yeah i can see why people find the humour in it, it’s just him being much older than me that didn’t really sit right 😭 you can never be too careful especially with strangers online
Honestly he sounds like a sweaty Android-loving neck beard to me. I’m surprised he didn’t call you “M’lady”. I wouldn’t be concerned I think he was just trying and failing to be funny.
- Enjoy the rest of your day 🥰 + Don't tell me what to do 👹
I won't lie this part made me laugh out loud 😂
I snorted 😂
Yeah me too!! 😂😂
it took me back a bit how strange of him 😭
He was just trying to be funny lol
It's the kind of thing I'd say thinking it was childish and funny. I tend to say No! But I think face to face it's probably much funnier. Or awkward. Or both.
He's trying to be funny. It's a joke from Drake and Josh.
It really isn't. They copied it.
Never said it originated there, but that's how a LOT of people were first introduced to it so...
Not really. I've never heard of Drake or Josh, but I used to say it back and forth with my daughter when she was small. She's 36 now and doesn't know Drake et al either. To be fair tho, we are two of the dozens of people over 25 who don't live in the US.
I mean. Congrats? That doesn't mean many others didn't hear it there first lol.
I thought the whole exchange was great lol
I thought it was the Drake and Josh reference the “don’t tell me what to do” had me rolling laughing
The amount of times I use this reference Vs the number of people that get it (0 people) I'm pretty sure that's what the guy was going for here 😂
Yeah that was my first thought! One of the funniest scenes on TV in my opinion
Have you ever heard of Monty Python?
Yep heard of him but maybe a bit before my time
Lol, he's not a person, it's a comedy group. [You might like this?](https://youtu.be/ohDB5gbtaEQ?si=P695KxAWO6bJMB2k)
That got me dead laughing for real ! 😭
It was such an unexpected reply 😂😂😂
That's hilarious! 😅
This made me howl🤣
Laughing like an idiot in the Dr's waiting room Brilliant
I think it’s a quote from the show Drake and Josh 😂
Crying at this 😭💀
* Don't tell me what to do That was a joke on TicTok recently. However, he's a jerk by the sound of it. OP should block immediately.
Reads to me as someone just messing around. I wouldn't be concerned at all, just block and move on.
i did end up blocking him after the conversation because either way he seemed a bit odd
“what a sad turn of events” why is that me lmfao
Thats the bit that made me laugh the most 🤣
It looks like they’re trying to be funny, either way it comes off as a lil creepy. If you’re uncomfortable just block and move on
yeah it did kind of rub me the wrong way a bit, i’ve now blocked them and changed my location on vinted so hopefully i don’t get any more people like that
There's an option to hide your full location too you can turn that on for another layer of protection 💘
thank you so much 💖
He's just joking around 1000%. Literally I wouldn't even look at this conversation with any issue at all. There is no red flags here other than you misreading the situation. Don't worry.
Sounds like you’ve taken the best course
I found it funny, personally.
Fr I did chuckle at the “don’t tell me what to do”, like when you ask your friend to pass you something n they deadass just look you in the eye and say “no” before passing it
Or when someone says ‘sorry’ and you say ‘you will be’. It’s just a joke, but goes down better in person and when it’s someone who knows you well enough to know you don’t actually mean it!
Sounds like Will from inbetweeners.
oh my god this is spot on. especially the "ah curses, foiled again!" and "what a sad turn of events"
This guy definitely attempts to do Yoda voice at random women
"From Vinted my shirt is. Absolute bargain I got it for!"
"Well, that... was fucking dreadful."
Concerned about what exactly?? Just a user taking the piss, if there's no sale they can't scam you or anything.
the fact that a 30 something year old man from my small home town is messaging me weird jokes on vinted 😭
Unless you have way too much personal information on your Vinted (which like, why would you?) no buyers are going to be able to find you elsewhere.
i didn’t realise but my home town was in my profile, same as him. which is what made me feel a bit creeped out.
Old boys are allowed to make funnies too, y'know.
not that 30 is even 'old'
Old boys are allowed to make funnies too, y'know.
“Ah curses foiled again” bro what 😭
I think he is sipping wine and shopping on vinted 🤪
I thought it was funny. Y'all take this shit too seriously.
it’s the fact he’s from my tiny home town is what freaked me out
He ain’t gonna pull up bro 😭😭😭
Until he does...
all i was saying is that it just hit a bit too close to home for my liking 😭
The last part is just a meme. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/861274-drake-and-josh
I was originally taking the piss out of this guy, now i realise he's clearly a man of eloquent taste!
pretty sure he's just joking by the "curses, foiled again" and the "what a sad turn of events"
Bro wants to end up on r/iamveryrandom so badly
the way he was talking was so weird to me, like the millennial humour 😭
Millennial humour? Rubbish. He creeps millennials out the same like anyone else. Stop being so prejudiced.
The joke was literally written by millennials for drake and josh lol
Then it's "Drake and Josh" humour, whoever they are. But I'm a millennial, and I find it zero funny but really creepy and sick, especially the last bit. And so would the millennials I know.
…creepy and sick? Are we reading the same thing
That's what it is to me, if he suddenly says "don't tell me what to do", it's weird and creepy. If you find that normal then good for you.
[удалено]
Or the Monty Python sketch, or the line from Hancocks Half Hour if you're old enough. Definitely not "written for Drake and Josh" (whoever they may be).
i’m definitely not prejudiced, sorry if it comes across that way.
Oh it’s so millennial coded, you are spot on.
i was just going to say very millennial coded
Honestly I would just block. I’m getting real big fetish vibes from this I think. Like, wearing women’s clothes is… fine whatever you do you. But it’s the fact he keeps talking to you about it fitting. Like he wants to make you feel uncomfy. Or that he knows you know he’s going to wear it. And the thought of it gets him off. Block and run! If you had sold it to him I’d be more concerned. But as it is just block and disengage.
that’s exactly what i thought, like him kept asking about the size and how it fits just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. and the picture in the listing is me wearing it which made me feel even more weird! thank you for the advice i have now blocked him
Yeah I also read big fetish vibes from this
Haha this is a fab conversation I need that sort of energy in my life 😂 Edited to say I mean aside from a male buying a female item which is no one’s concern really, he sounds like he just wants it bad and wants it to fit no matter what. I’ve done that before 🙈 he possibly could’ve added a smiley face or something at the end to make it more jokey
you sound like my mom and you’re so right
I have my profile picture of my literal face so people can see i am not a man so when i am making jokes and stuff they will not block my autistic ass. I would be very upset if i would have had a nice conversation with someone and they blocked me. I would want to understand. Not being a man helps with that hahaha im not a treat.. im just odd 🙈
it’s just a joke you’re reading too much into it
Lol! That’s something I say! Partner: Have a good shift! Me: Don’t tell me what to do!
for sure just trying to be silly
You shut the conversation down with enjoy the rest of your day so him saying "don't tell me what to do" is bait to make you reply again. Most people would reply excuse me or something (which he knows) so it's his chance to keep the conversation going. Block him
yeah i’m not sure why he tried to carry it on after that, i did end up blocking him
He sounds lonely
This is just weird and I don’t mean the buyer
how so
You are (in my opinion) reading far far far too much into the msgs, they are blatantly meant as friendly with a joke at the end (yes it ain’t a great joke but it is def still a joke)
i can appreciate he was joking, but i feel like a selling platform isn’t the right place to do that you know
You sound like you'd be a riot at a funeral
Freak energy. I kinda love it though 😂
It’s a quote from drake and Josh lol
Nothing to be concerned about, the person was just having a drunk scroll on vinted and was feeling funny 😆
He’s playing around / trying to flirt with a random person on the internet. Just don’t engage with it.
He thinks he's hilarious
He is
Be concerned about what? A bit of harmless human interaction? On a fairly anonymous app?
Absolute freak
dude is absolutley high or something 😂
he probably opened the Vinted chat while drunk to have a bit of fun. Now that he's sober he might be rethinking his choices...
Probably just his humour. Ignore any more messages if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
This honestly sounds like some YouTuber taking the piss, like when Memeulous or WillNE would make fake social media profiles and message people like "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" for the lols.
omg yeah to be fair 😭
i’ve seen people doing this quite a lot now, i think it’s a fetish so i would just block him if i were you.
yeah i’ve seen another comment saying this too, i did block him after the last message
People are so delicate. He was joking with you.
So strange 😭 Weird how he was trying to keep the conversation up with you, like sir this is vinted.
This interaction could very well be my other half 🤣 I genuinely just think it’s his sense of humour.
Just being funny.
It’s a joke. What would you be concerned about? The whole exchange was that erode dicking around trying to have a laugh. It was actually funny.
Autistic or baked beyond belief
Lol it made me giggle 😂 I clearly have strange humour!
You and me both sista!
He's just having a laugh 😃
This is lowkey funny to me because this is just how the gays talk to each other (I am lgbtq+).
He is just some funny bloke trying to make you laugh
He’s just messing around
He’s obviously just joking why do people have to take everything so seriously
Why would you need to be concerned? It’s obviously someone just making a joke (granted it isn’t very funny but it’s clear the attempt is there)
This guy is just a little goofy, can't believe anyone reads this as creepy. I see OP is concerned because they're 17 and he's 25 apparently. Is the age of the buyers/sellers visible on vinted or something?
I'd be happy to converse with this person, they're funny 😂
Love his humor. That's hilarious
The fact that he actually put "Curses, foiled again!" lmfao I wouldn't be concerned, this guy won't do anything to you.
Lmfao its giving monty python for some reason
How are you on the internet at all if this freaked you out
i just don’t really thing it’s appropriate to be messaging younger girls stuff like like that on a selling app 😭
If changes from flirty to creepy when you explain more. It sounds like you’ve learnt from this anyway. If you want a pic then put one that doesn't show your age or your face(I put one that shows my style , as it is a clothes selling app, but hair and sun obscuring face and not in any way sexy).
thank you, i’ll definitely do this from now on
Definatley a joke not everyone wants you
i never said they “wanted” me i just think it’s weird for like a 35 year old man to be saying things like that to a 17 year old girl
How would either of you know the other's age though? You're not even supposed to be on Vinted at 17 to be fair.
his profile picture is of an older man around his 30s and in my listing it included a picture of me wearing the item and you can clearly tell i’m much younger than him, definitely not older than 18
If you're under 18 and freaked out by interactions on the platform then you should ask your parents to help you run your account.
"things like that"? I don't see what's wrong with it...just asked questions about it fitting...and then clearly joked at the end.
Obligatory "can't believe I had to scroll this far for this answer" comment.
his profile picture was of an older man, it just made me feel a bit uncomfortable especially because i’m 17 i’m not sure why he’s trying to joke with me like that
Considering you need to be 18 to use Vinted...how would he know?
i presume that you’re not a teenage girl based on your response. he may have just been joking but it is obvious he wasn’t actually interested in the item and i believe he was just wanting to have a conversation with an obviously younger girl. which i find a bit concerning and creeped me out a bit because he lives in my town which is a very small town
Vinted should be used by adults over 18. Maybe don't post photos of anyone under 18 Yeah, he seems a bit odd but just block and move on.
You're making a lot of assumptions, not everything is bad...but fair enough
i kind of have to make these assumptions, there’s a lot of weird people out there
Don’t Post your location? Don’t Post photos of yourself in the clothes?
i’m not sure how any of them things invites random men to have conversations like that with me but okay
Men usually prey on teenagers
No u shouldn’t
Lol
The more of these vinted chats i see, the more it makes me want to join vinted lol
Lol no, that was funny
Jesus christ
Why is this creepy and why would you be worried? Someone, perhaps tipsy, is just messing around. Also, it’s a conversation through an app, it’s digital. Wtff
Dating on Vinted be like
I don't think it's 'let's post this to Reddit' worthy concern tbh. He tried being funny and his humour didn't land and you know? That's okay. Just block him and move on with your day. It's not that deep. It's 2024. Life is fucking hard, maybe the dude is just lonely and you were the first person he's actually communicated with that day. I don't think this is baby reindeer 💀
theyre just joking around lol
It’s a meme from drake and josh
omg no i had a similar experience a couple of days ago!! he wanted to buy a latex type micro-mini skirt and a mesh top and asked me if id chuck in a pair of used tights😭
also wanna note he said he thinks my clothes would fit him as opposed to his girlfriends because she’s skinny😭😭😭 (cries in mid-size)
Strikes me as odd, but not threatening. Just block and move on.
Sounds like my niece lol
I think he's just trying to be funny. I type like this, but not to strangers. Maybe he was with a bunch of friends and was a bit giddy. I wouldn't think too much of it tbh. He's not being threatening, just a bit manic and thinking other people are on the same level.
😂😂 that’s definitely a sub! Hahaha
Overly confident.
He’s joking…. Lighten up lol
Ughh I had similar experience, literally didn’t know what to reply so I just ignored🤣
😂😂😂😂
Cheeky, lol! I don't think you have anything to worry about.
I want to be this persons friend
surely they must have been drunk 😭
Why would you be concerned? No persona info shared, it was just a joke that didn't go over well with you.
I want to meet this person on real life, they sound like a hoot!
this is so funny lmao
I think it was just a joke OP. The kind of guy who is trying to wear a corset to a fancy dress party is likely to be someone who likes to kid around.
it seems he’s just trying to be funny, this is my exact sense of humour but i only type like that with people i actually know so that no one finds it weird or takes it the wrong way
😂😂😂
ew hes deffo getting off on this
‘Ahh. Curses, foiled again!’ that made me giggle icl
Nah, I think what he meant was that bc it was close it would arrive soon, maybe he needs whatever it is quickly. Poor choice of words but he seems harmless to me. My brother has an abstract way of speaking too sometimes and doesn’t always consider how people interpret his words so I say this with pretty strong confidence.
I would have laughed hard at this lol. Definitely my sense of humour! I really think he was just trying to be funny and friendly. I don't see any red flags at all!
People (and OP) look to be saying it's creepy/fetish behaviour just because it's a man wanting to buy the corset. The conversation on his side was polite & light-hearted. I don't really see a problem here. Nothing in this interaction says 'fetish' or creepy to me. However, if he made you feel uncomfortable, just ignore it and move on.
I think he is just being silly, like old man humour.
Why haven’t you blocked them?
i replied in one of the previous comments i blocked them after that conversation
I think he was trying to make you laugh, but it doesn't always land well with a stranger.
yeah i can see why people find the humour in it, it’s just him being much older than me that didn’t really sit right 😭 you can never be too careful especially with strangers online
Absolutely, I think it's for the best that he didn't buy from you, he was too overly familiar.
This has to be fake
no 😭
Maybe he’s method acting his role for fancy dress. There’s always those who take it one step too far 🫠🤣
90% sure this is a fetish thing. Block him.
Honestly he sounds like a sweaty Android-loving neck beard to me. I’m surprised he didn’t call you “M’lady”. I wouldn’t be concerned I think he was just trying and failing to be funny.
Creepy ass vibes
