My mom showed me this paw washer thing that she got for her dog (the actual physical item) She had looked it up on amazon.com a week or so prior but bought it from another internet retailer.
The same day (totally unrelated), I got on her computer and signed her out of Amazon and then signed myself in on Amazon to look something up, and that paw-washer was in my shopping cart!
My mom says that at no time was it ever in her shopping cart- that she had only researched the item on Amazon. And besides- when she did this research a week prior, she was logged in as herself. How in the hell did that item get in my shopping cart under my account??
And there’s probably a glitch in the Amazon site that didn’t clear the cookie when you signed out as your mom and signed in as you. If you’d closed the browser after signing out, it probably wouldn’t have ended up in your cart.
It was Michael Pollan’s “Food Rules.” What a waste of time. While I enjoyed “Omnivore’s Dilemma,” this one was just a contract fulfillment or something. It’s not really even a book except it’s paper with minimal printing on it with a front and back cover.
I’d assume it was a gift, maybe even from the writer who saw that you’d purchased the other one, and needed to pimp his book out. But I’d more suspect someone you know.
