I didn't know where to put this so I'll put it here. I considered making a thread asking what is the silliest unexpected web page to pop up randomly for you, without clicking or warning.
So I open my Amazon bookmark on my desktop and what do I see? A page about bibs. Not skiing bibs, not aprons... BABY bibs. What the hell?! Is Amazon trying to send me a Senior Citizen message?!
The only thing I can think of is that I've been thinking a lot about getting a kitchen apron but have not verbalized it or searched for it. And that's an apron not a freaking BIB! Dun dun DUN dun....

I find it so hilarious, that we've gotten so used to the idea of being watched, tracked, spied on and advertised to in a targeted way, that we get all judgmental and irritated when the internet dishes up inappropriate ads to us. I do it, too. I just think it's really funny.
Ever scrolled Facebook angrily hiding ads and marking them as "IRRELEVANT"? I have. I'm all like, "Why would you show me that??? YOU KNOW WHO I AM." Like if a close relative or spouse bought me a completely inappropriate gift or something. How dare you? What are you trying to say, here??
But I laugh at my own moments of annoyance over such things.
Like the first time many years ago, when I caught myself feeling flustered because an automatic door at the grocery store was not opening fast enough and I actually had to pause and wait for it....and I thought, "I'm getting mad, when I don't even have to open this door myself. This is absurd."
I am impatiently waiting on a call from the doctor. I was supposed to get the call at 1:30, it is now 1:36. I don't even have to leave my house for the appointment since they offered to do it over the phone. I am irritated the call is late. WTH is wrong with me???
I adjusted a recipe for a 6 cup muffin pan because that's all I have and after doing that, I found out that I have a 12 cup pan. When did that happen and why didn't I know? I must have bought it because I don't think my husband has shopped for home stuff in ... ever? Now I know, so we'll have 12 muffins next time and not a measly six.
When I buy an avocado it is never ready to eat that day. If I have to be gone the next day and can't eat it then it will be mushy the next day. Avocados are often a lesson in futility.

Even at the age of nearly 66, I still have to routinely pause for automatic doors. They are not set up for people who walk as fast as I do.
It is said that 1,000-year-old eggs are considered a delicacy in some cultures. Now I don't have to worry about the three eggs in the fridge.
