Judgemental websites

ForTheLoveOfMrsBrown, 2 December, 2011 at 11:02 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 16

Why - WHY? - has Tripadvisor, a non-sentient, internet-based front page for a travel database, joined forces with my FB account to make me feel guilty for not buying a flight to Dublin to visit my cousin?

Am I sure that I don't want to visit him? It's only £99. He's your "friend" and you treat him so shabbily.

"For shame".*

*Is what it is thinking.

    I have no idea how, but Facebook seems to know that I need to lose weight...

    "Alice, lose 6lbs in 6 days!"... thank you, thank you very much.

    It picks up adverts for every effing thing you type in doesn't it? At least all the wedding ads have vanished now.

    I got an email from Amazon the day after I found out I was up the duff offering cheap Avent Bottles...!? How do they know?

    I want to know why they don't cross check my credit card and see that I did buy that thing they were advertising so they can stop advertising to me ?

    This used to annoy the hell out of me. Rather worryingly one of the adverts on my profile page today is for pole dancing classes...?

    Mine are for Tesco and wedding dresses

    Done my tesco shop already and ordered my dress so both ad's are useless.

    I was googling boudoir shoots this morning, wonder what ad's I will get this afternoon!

    I get alot of junk email- always offers me viagra, or ways to "enlarge my member" (true story)

    Facebook wants me to support Halifax in thier bid to raise money for some children...barking up the wrong tree there FB. The only way I can help Halifax is by paying back the £16k I owe them.

    Could be worse... I've got Mylene Klass permanently glued to mine - no matter how many times I click "hide this advert". I cannot stand Her Royal Smugness: the only woman EVER to have an actual baby y'know. Pfft.

    I have to say I've never noticed them before. I've just checked and there is an advert for vaseline ?
