See these shoes, I bought them yesterday, I now see this exact shoe as an ad on Facebook the next day. This doesnt make sense, I just bought the damn things, why on earth would I buy another pair immediately.

The thing is, this happens damn near every time I buy anything on the internet, I’m sure it happens to you guys too. Even with expensive stuff. I bought a pair of $200 wireless headphones and the next day I was seeing ads for it, its like “I just spent a fuck ton of money on headphones, its gonna be years before I buy another pair...”

OTOH, those are pretty sweet kicks and now you get to see ads for shoes that you like enough to buy.

Paid $80, which is at least in line with what I’ve paid before on similar pairs.

Some pairs get pricey. Those are tight. Or whatever the kids are saying these days.
