Amazon keeps trying to tell me that I might interested in purchasing a book that I wrote

the promotional email Amazon sent me telling me I might be interested in my own book was *chef's kiss*—there's something about the repetition of my full name in the greeting and on the cover that just makes it truly beautiful

NGL, I follow myself on Amazon so I can get the excited emails whenever I have a new book out :-D

"BUY IT AGAIN" for an object that I will only need to buy once in what remains of my life, and I have already purchased it from them.

Just admit that you're at least a little bit tempted :)

I mean, if you weren't interested it wouldn't be much of an endorsement.

"Thanks, I have one, it's very nice"

but on the plus side, all the worst people in the world now know where you live

My favorite example of this is someone who bought a toilet seat and was constantly getting adds after like Amazon thought they were collecting them or something 😂

I think you mean this one? archive.is/3mkoi

I actually think it was an email on Dear Hank and John, but it could very well be the same person.

Yes, I am always amazed at how many ads I get for things that I have already bought, and that I am very unlikely to buy again anytime soon. I bought a car, and got deluged with car ads for months. More ads than I got before buying it. Thanks guys, but I already have one. The ads business is a scam.

Mint takes all my bank transactions just to alert me of a large transaction every month (its my mortgage payment)

I had four follow-up emails in a month from Amazon with faucet recommendations after I bought a kitchen sink faucet from them. Six months later I got one asking if I wanted to hire someone to install it.

How many kitchen sinks do they think the average person has? (Are you Sinks Georg?)

We strive to be the Bellagio West

artificially intelligent

Well, you know one good urn deserves another.

seriously regretting the one time I clicked on an Instagram ad to find out exactly what "colostrum" is and why the f anyone would want to eat it

I've been getting Indian dating service and toy monster truck ads lately. It's like they're not even trying

Before the asteroid hits they will suggest beach umbrellas.

What if you need to make two coffee at once.

They reinvented cybernetics but in the most drooling dumbass way possible

I have lied so much on the interwebs that the tracking apps think I need a combine (which would require acreage and living in a different hemisphere) and thermal imaging equipment. Thinking of starting an online spreadsheet of this stuff so the TechnoHoover can feed on itself.

Or, you looked at a coffee maker once, decided you didn't need it, and now it is your pop up ad FOREVER

This is my current TikTok experience: HERES THAT MASCARA WE SHOVED DOWN YOUR THROAT FOR 3 WEEKS UNTIL YOU BOUGHT IT. ISNT IT AWESOME, DONT YOU WANT MORE???

youtube.com/shorts/mghTf... Honestly, I'm more impressed by an IRL stunt nowadays. How dare they target women transit wonks. I feel so seen and attacked.

Absolutely bananas

They are spot on in identifying our past purchases :D

Still getting ads for the Neso tent even after buying it

They keep trying to sell me the sunglasses that they also told me would not work with my prescription.

Those are hilarious, but I especially enjoy ads that are horrifically mistargeted, like the Spanish (which I don't speak) ads offering me employment at McD's. Uh...what? Or all the bra ads I seem to be getting on FB of late. It all suggests I'm successfully hiding from them, at least!

I got this on wallets and office chairs which are both specifically designed to a. work on their own and b. last quite a while!

Yes but now you need a coffee subscription and filters and cleaning supplies

“Couldn’t I just buy vinegar for like a dollar?” “NO! We will send you a special cleaning solution every month for Optimal Performance!”

*Guffaws*

Oh you’re getting coffee makers? Get me a couple, I’m in a new office.

If you’re living your life right, you need at least seven coffee makers

amazing, groundbreaking

I keep getting asked to upgrade my Verizon Fios even though my roommate is in charge of that and we upgraded last month.

Maybe you need to buy a second one.

Mine heard me say freeze dry a couple times and want me to be part of that life.

So clever of them to buy the email addresses of people that filled out warranty information.
