is gravecrooner making as little sense to anyone else as they are to me?

view our emails behind the cut.



here is my first email to this person:

i got yr package today. 
you sent me socks. 
you were supposed to send me black and red vertical striped tights. 
i specified that i wanted the VERTICAL STRIPED TIGHTS each time i went over the trade, and you send me red and black horizontal striped SOCKS. 
this need to be fixed, please. 
please get back to me. 
thank you. 
gillian

the response:
I sent you red and black vertically stripped thigh highs like I stated I would. I did not send you socks. I essentially stated they were thigh highs, and continuously informed you of it. What's wrong with the package? Im be more than glad to work out whatever youre upset of.

my response:
seriously, you send me very long, black and red horizontal striped socks. i wouldnt lie about that..id be glad to send them back and get the tights instead, since thats what i wanted...and also youll be able to see you did indeed send me socks

the reponse:
Those arent really long socks, they're thigh highs. I also remember sending you thigh highs, cause I washed them before mailing them off. Those are the thigh highs I spoke of. I can go out and buy you some tights or send you something else since you don't like them. But those are the black and red vertically stripped thigh highs I spoke of. They're not socks lol.

my response:
THEY ARE SOCKS. they are thick cotton socks. the stripes ARE NOT VERTICAL. THEY ARE HORIZTONAL. they go from side to side, not up and down, which im sure you know is what vertical stripes are. 
these are not tights, they are not a thin nylon material, they are thick stretchy cotton. 
ill take a picture if you dont believe me. 
i know the difference between socks and thigh high tights. 
these are knee length SOCKS. 
maybe you accidentally sent me the socks on accident...maybe you just got my package confused with someone else. 
these things happen, its really quite alright. 
but come on, stop telling me you sent me one thing when i very clearly have something else.

after that, i sent an email w/pics:
take a look...

here are the pics for you guys:



  




this was the response:
I could of sworn i sent you the right item but if you say it's not right, than let me know and i'll fix it. Is there anything I can send you to make up for the mixup? Im really sorry but I seriously do remember sending out the right item 'cause I washing them. The only thigh highs I was selling were a pair of black and red stripped ones. Im 5'1 though, so maybe if you're taller thats why they seem like knee highs or whatnot. Either way, please let me know how I can fix this and i'll get onto asap.

my response:
lol, im 5 foot, it definitely isnt that 
did you look at the pics? 
theyre clearly socks. 
its really ok...i just want the vertical striped tights, you dont have to do anything but send me those, and when i get them, ill send you yr socks back.

then this:
The only tights/thigh highs I have or had, were the ones in which I sent you. (Im looking at the pictures now; thank you for sending them). Thats what got me so confused though.... I bought those at a store here and they were in the thigh high section with the rest of the tights and such. They're just made out of cotten, hense the socks effect I guess? Im an inch taller than you and they surpass my thighs. I'll send you something else -no problem-, yet the only tights I currently have consist of some black ripped fence nets and bright red stretchy fishnets. I've sold most of my other tights/fishnets cause Im saving up to go to florida this summer to see my to-be fiance. Nonetheless, lmk and i'll do whatever you'd like :) Once again, im sorry for the confusion.

i just sent them this:
wow. 
you still seem convinced that they are tights, not socks. 
you are very confused. 
i work at a store that sells socks and thigh highs, and they are in the same section. 
the hosiey section. 
however, i know the distinction between what is a very long sock and what is a thigh high tight. 
them being cotton does not create a "sock effect"- it makes it A SOCK 
also, you told me they were VERTICALLY STRIPED. 
these are clearly horizontal. 
let me explain the difference between horizontal and vertical: 
horizontal goes from left to right, side to side, like the HORIZON, hence horizontal. 
vertical is up and down, from top to bottom.

as far as the length goes, they are over the knee. 
this is what socks of this length are called. 
when TIGHTS go over the knee, they're called thigh highs.

are you a dude or something? 
i cant understand what you dont get about this; its very frustrating for me.

----EDIT-------

i just received this:
Mmk, well... Firstly, I was under the impression that they were thigh highs given that that is how they fit me when I tried them on. Also, I have never seen socks that long before so I assumed they were thigh highs particular since they were next to all the others in the store. Socks are sold on a different shelf across from them. I do know the difference between thigh highs and socks, but since I bought them in the t.high section thats what I figured them to be.... does that make sense? As for the vertical/horizontal, I must have accidently wrote vertical where in actuality they are horizontal. And for that, I gravely apologize. I always think of vertical as side-side however because I refer it to vert-skating... which is my fault since its not the same at all. I do not have any vertical stripped tights, yet I would be more than glad to send you something to make up for the confusion or simply give you back one of the bras when I recieve them. (I'll be sure to let you know when they arrive). I am very sorry about the mixup, but I was under the impression they were thigh highs and mixed up vertical/horizontal.
Please lmk.

and responded with this:
for the record, just bcause something is thigh high, does not make it a thigh high TIGHT OR STOCKING.
if its a thick cotton material, its definitely a sock.
however, its cool of you to try to make up for it.
is there a link where i can see actualy pictures of all the stuff you have to trade?
