    There’s really no way to know if they’re right. We don’t have evidence for the original story either way saying if it happened or not.

    However, we do have plenty of people’s experiences saying similar things have happened to them.

    If we’re being honest, we can at least conclude the story is plausible, even likely. Saying absolutely either way is dogmatism apropos of nothing.

      The burden of proof is on the poster to verify the story. I think it’s safe to say like 80% of stories on the internet are fake (what does ‘some missing parts’ even mean??)

      I don’t doubt people have had similar experiences but greentexts are rarely true and this one sounds incoherent to me

        Yes, the burden of proof is absolutely on them. As for the missing parts, I thought it was just bullshit they made up about it being out of warranty so they wouldn’t fix it. It turned out there weren’t any parts missing, after all.
