*Guffaws*

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.

jinkies.bsky.social•554 days ago

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

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

juphoff.bsky.social•555 days ago

Well, you know one good urn deserves another.

grytpype.bsky.social•276 days ago

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

deesevere.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

dygoose.bsky.social•555 days ago

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?

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

wordloaf.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

motoroboto.bsky.social•555 days ago

What if you need to make two coffee at once.

Still getting ads for the Neso tent even after buying it

marijocook.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

yashataur.bsky.social•554 days ago

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.

david.williamsons.net•555 days ago

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!

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???

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

br2.bsky.social•555 days ago

Absolutely bananas

pileofgarbage.net•555 days ago

amazing, groundbreaking

jdemartino.bsky.social•555 days ago

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!

whysharksmatter.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

wendyqualls.bsky.social•554 days ago

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

dmewes.com•555 days ago

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

acerbicotter.bsky.social•555 days ago

"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.

reverendmayhem.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

pazsays.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

lynperkinsart.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

pyrholidon.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

artificially intelligent

karlguzzman.bsky.social•555 days ago

Maybe you need to buy a second one.

mstsc.bsky.social•555 days ago

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

messierobject44.bsky.social•555 days ago

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.
