Unless, of course the guy you hooked up with one time a year ago, and never saw again, slides into your DMs to ask if you want his sex toy. Plus cleaner and box.
But that's exactly what happened to Rachel Coster, whose former Tinder date got back in touch see if she wanted his vibrator. In a tweet that's raked in 4,000 likes, Coster shared a screenshot of the guy's direct message-in which he starts by reminding her: "I had the wand vibrator." He explains that he's moving back to the United Kingdom, and that he plans on traveling "very light."
Which brings us to the vibrator.
"It's yours if you want it," he said. "It was a post-bad-breakup purchase that's been used a grand total of three times, including you. It has cleaner + box.
"Let me know if you're interested," he continued. "I know this is wicked weird but I can't take it with me and I figured someone should get some use out of it."
I was standing in Muji when I got the text, Coster tells Men's Health of the jaw-dropping incident. There was no pre-text. No Hi, Rachel! How are you? Just the text.
Last summer, the pair matched on Tinder and went on a date. He had just broken up with a girl he had been with for five years, Coster recalled. He was very sweet and cool, but very bummed. We went back to his place and hooked up. It was nice. And then we never talked again.
The vibrator in question? A Hitachi magic wand. Its fucking huge, Coster told me. Its like a baseball bat up your crotch.
For some of us, the prospect getting off with a USED vibrator is, frankly, horrifying. Let alone, one Fed-Exed to you by your one-night stand. But here's the twist ending, folks: For Costner...it was kind of appealing.
In a lot of ways, its gross, Coster muses. But who am I to pass up a free vibrator? Those things are $50 plus.
Yes, you read that right: She's taking him up on his offer.
But much like love, the U.S. Postal Service aint easy. The pair met in Boston, but Costner has since moved to New York. Im not gonna pay for shipping, she admits. But Im visiting Boston next month, so Im gonna get coffee with him and pick it up.
Its an unconventional decision, for sure. But also, a wise reminder that one mans trash is another womans magic wand.
