There are many things that one can do by accident, although some mistakes are more believable than others.
Recently, 21-year-old social media star Quen Blackwell, who is known as the ‘Queen of TikTok’, claimed that she “accidentally bought” a sofa for S$144,000 (US$100,000).
She tearfully recounted the incident to her followers in videos posted on both Twitter and TikTok.
However, most people seem to have trouble sympathising with her and are actually sceptical of her unusual tale.
In between sobs, Ms Blackwell explained that she put an offer on a S$144,000 (US$100,000) couch as a “joke”.
She had entered her card information and was horrified when the amount actually got charged to her account.

“I was joking,” she emphasised.
Then, she asked if anyone had “a million dollars” so that they could donate it to her.
“If you have a million dollars, can you let me borrow some, please? Please!” she sobs.
It’s unclear if anyone actually gave her the money as she does not address it in future tweets or videos.
Instead of feeling sorry for her, most netizens just seem puzzled at why she didn’t dispute the charge if this really happened.
Some also questioned how Ms Blackwell could have entered her card information as a “joke”.

Many also suspect she’s just acting and making up the story for attention and views.

It certainly seemed to work, though — at the time of writing, Ms Blackwell’s videos have garnered over 4.1 million and 4.7 million views on Twitter and TikTok respectively.
And then there were those who were just curious to see what a sofa worth six figures would look like.
