Today, a package came in the mail for a Judith Jones. I told the mail man that no one by that name lived here, and he took the package back. Apparently, that package was the $400 GPS that my boyfriend just purchased on Ebay. The default name on Ebay is Judith Jones, and he forgot to change it. FML

for some reason i think that her "boyfriend" is actually her trying to save her self embarassment.
Also replying to f1rst to make my post seen
(+2)How is this her problem? Her boyfriend's the idiot for addressing something to someone who doesn't live at that address. F*** his life for being so damn stupid.
(0)well if he bought it on ebay its kinda okay the person would just need to reship it and he just might need to repay shipping fees so it doesnt really suck

(0)So you are using fake names on ebay, it's your own fucking fault there babe!

(+4)Yes, because she's her own boyfriend. Yup. Makes perfect sense.

@dannydawriter: Why don't you go ahead and be your own boyfriend for a few and go fuck yourself you snarky shitbag cocksucker!!!!!

Or you could not be so Goddamn stupid next time.
On the other hand, I don't see that happening.

(-1)@Nemophosis: It was really great that you could go ahead and get your hand off of dannydawriter's cock long enough to type a reply.
The point in my original YDI comment, that many were kind enough to vote down, was that her last sentence implied that she was aware of a 'default name' on an ebay account that they are using. The tone of her post was "god I'm a freaking idiot for forgetting we had this mysterious default name". Now I've used ebay in the past and I don't recall having the option to add a bunch of aliases and never heard of a 'default name', but that's a discussion for another time.
Long story short, dannydawriter is a fucking nub and I didn't feel like explaining myself to the likes of him. But now that this has turned into some twisted gang bang, I guess it was necessary. So congrats on your attempt at a smackdown, Nemophosis - now STFU!

(0)maybe her boyfriend told her later that this was the ebay name he used. and it says a lot about someone when they respond so harshly and hatefully to a little minor comment. calm down.
(0)Well of course the boyfriend told her later, otherwise she would have accepted the package. I appreciate your coming on here to state the obvious for all of us, thanks for playing!!

(0)wow "skullbuster" I bet you bust alot of skulls trolling to let out your repressed homosexuality. I only bring that to the table because one person disagreed with you, so you call everyone fags.
(0)skullbuster, you are a moronic douchebag. If you had any sort of comprehension skills you would have realized that clearly it was the boyfriends fault, not the OP's. All the insults you pull out of your ass to cover your stupidity don't work either, btw...
(0)damn, that blows
Someone's going to make it up to their boyfriend!

(+1)How was she supposed to know the package was intended for her? It's her boyfriend's fault for not changing the name. Who forgets something as important as their name when they're ordering something online?
OP, I'm sorry your boyfriend is an idiot. But I'm sure if you call eBay, or the delivery company, or get in touch with the seller, you can work something out.

(+4)There is no such thing as a default name on Ebay! Either this story is bogus or your boyfriend lied to you
#12 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:19pm by anony06
(0)I was thinking the same, it's totally wtf.
Either that or there's something the boyfriend isn't telling her about that Judith...
(+1)It's must be his ex's and he never changed the name. Sneaky, haha
#18 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:33pm by Running_Dude
(+2)What? There isn't a "default name" on eBay, what are you talking about? When you sign up, all the fields in the form are blank. It's not pre-filled with nonsense, why would it be? Try googling for it, there's nothing.
Your boyfriend lied to you. I think you should ask him about his mistress, Judith Jones.
#13 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:19pm by marshmallard
(0)You beat me to it, that's pretty much what I was thinking too, about who Judith Jones really is. XD
(0)There's no such thing as a "default name" for eBay - your boyfriend used a fake name (or a stolen account!) I'm surprised they even shipped it if the confirmed name and address didn't match the billing information.
(+1)
Turns out my boyfriend had ordered something a few years ago before he had a credit card, so he had to order under the name of his friend's mom. When he went back onto his Ebay account the other day (the first time in years), he forgot to change it to his own name. So he's an idiot, but I don't have to dump him! :)
(0)You can't use just a credit card on ebay. You pay by paypal or cheque. And neither of those require you to use the name of the person whose payment method it is.
Does he really have a friend called Jones, whose mum is called Judith? Why did he lie originally and say it was the "default name"? I still think he's talking bullshit.
#24 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:50pm by marshmallard
(0)You used to be able to pay directly through credit card on Ebay at one time. You can't anymore, but it used to be possible.
Plus, they didn't actually say he PAID via credit card. Ebay will randomly require some people to put a credit card on file for verification purposes (IE: So they can track someone down if there's fraud). Usually, the requirement is because the email address you registered with was free, like Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail.

(0)The guy would've just taken it back to the post office. They'll either call you or send someone else to deliver it, or you can call them. It's not that bad.
#22 - On 08/05/2009 at 5:49pm by paper_flowers
(+1)He didn't realize it at the time because he had used the account so long ago and didn't remember immediately. He just assumed at first that it must have been a default name. And unfortunately the package is already on its way back to it's original location.
(0)I lie about my name all the time. I don't have an eBay account though. I don't think they deserve it.
(0)wow this may be the only fml on this site where the poster actually returns to comment on it,
i think eveyr oter one got cussed out so bad they went off to never return
#29 - On 08/05/2009 at 6:23pm by TheBigGamer
(0)I am Judith Jones. He didn't put the wrong name, he put the wrong address. I want my GPS back, you bitch...and stop sleeping with my man or I'll cut you good.
#30 - On 08/05/2009 at 6:36pm by ohnoyouDINT
(0)Today, I waited all day for my $400 GPS to arrive in the mail. When I asked my girlfriend if anyone came, she said there was only a package for a 'Judith Jones' so she sent it back. Judith Jones is the default name on my eBay which I never got around to changing. FML.
#31 - On 08/05/2009 at 6:39pm by iGreen_Day
(0)eBay doesn't have default names on the account and using incorrect info can get an account into trouble. check the user agreement!
(0)wow, it's not like you're not going to get your money back or have the GPS returned to you. who GIVES a fuck that the mail man took it back and you won't have it for two more weeks?
#35 - On 08/05/2009 at 8:39pm by doicha27
(0)How was she attacking? She just said there was no one at her address by that name, which was true. Where is the 'logic and reason' involved in thinking 'oh yeah, maybe that's the name on my boyfriend's Ebay account'? Keeping packages that aren't yours is called theft.
#43 - On 08/05/2009 at 10:48pm by o0ginger0o
(0)ummmm, ive been on ebay for 10 years. never heard of any default name as judith jones. i think your "boyfriend" is cheating on you.
#37 - On 08/05/2009 at 8:58pm by ChefBoy6382
(0)Mine automatically has my name on it, I never have to fill anything out. It could have been an ex that they shared an ebay account with, and just didn't think to change it, especially if he is a non-frequent ebayer.
(+2)#40, are you her boyfriend's lawyer or something? Nothing you said made any sense whatsoever.
1. I can't understand a fucking word you said, but default names are John/Jane Smith 99.9999% of the time and they're only used in small labels below the text boxes where you're supposed to enter your name as an example. And to make it easy for you, there is no such thing as a default name on Ebay. They're not that fucking stupid to let people deal with a Judith Jones name because they didn't know to change it.
2. If someone named Judith Jones was using the boyfriend's computer, then I'd think there's a high chance the girlfriend would know this Judith
3. When interested in a girl, I think I (and any sane person) would probably look for common interests among other things, far before deciding I'm not going to have a relationship with someone because their name is Judith.
4. What's wrong with getting a GPS for someone?
Like I said, I don't understand your logic, probably due to the fact it doesn't exist, but that's very understandable from a person with a nickname like 'pimpin88'.
Yeh he ain't cheatin on nobody yo he just be banging dem hoes liek dis nigga bitch judy i meen wat kinda name is dat anyway u no wat im sayin? riiiite?
(0)WIN WIN WIN! I love your comment ^_^ As for the OP, you did nothing wrong. He should've had it delivered to HIS house. Not yours.
#60 - On 08/07/2009 at 6:42pm by xXmoses_rocksXx
(0)and your bf would not explain this fact to you why? he deserves it.
#52 - On 08/06/2009 at 3:08am by Subjectzero
(0)right, because he should have to tell her every single thing that goes on in his life
#56 - On 08/06/2009 at 11:52am by aaaaa12345
(0)When you get a package with your address on it, but the wrong name, and you've been living there a while, how do you NOT keep it? That's just crazy talk.
(0) 1- There is absolutely no such thing as a default name on eBay.
2- All your boyfriend has to do is contact the seller and have them
resend the package.
