let me make this clear:
I don't want to
subscribe to your mailing list,
sign up for text alerts,
give you my postcode
(why do you look at me funny
when I say no?)
I will not write you a review
lovely soft loo roll,
would wipe again
and I do not need more ads
(I just bought a year's supply)
unless, of course,
you're paying me.
I don't want pop-ups,
or chatbots
(giving them names doesn't help)
or a subscription
that saves me five percent,
or a welcome voucher
for a club I never asked to join.
and another thing—
I don't want to be asked
five times in the same shop
if I need a hand.
If I do,
I'll let you know.
With Love,
Well said!
Ha thanks mate, hope you are well!
Thank you. Yes, I am doing OK.
I refuse anything with a subscription if I can for all the above, plus add in difficulty of canceling. Its like everything has just become a hassle nowadays.
It's crazy. Let alone choosing ethical companies, shipping costs, etc etc.
Totally
Every single shopping/buying process seems to be more annoying today, and is definitely getting worse!
My latest bugbear is almost every company forcing you to download an app before you can interact with them. I spend more time filling in account details and preferences than I actually spend on buying the flippin' products!
Oh me too! And deleting subscription once you get discount!
Oh I feckin hear you on that!
Do you know what you can do now Mr. Seller/Mr. Marteker, "you can hang your bollocks from the Five lamps"
I do like that expression I must say, even though it's very Dublin and me a Galwayman!
This insight on Marketers from the sadly passed incredibly insightful and funny Bill Hicks...
Ha I've seen that before! I feel like the whole world has become one big marketing extravanganza. Satan's spawn indeed. Can anything be free? YOu know what killed me is when all of a sudden the people who for years had swum in cold water all winter with no fanfare whatsoever, got bigger with an influx of people in town influenced by Wim Hof etc, and then they got a name, and got on the whole 'wild swimming' thing when fuck, didn't we used to 'swim' not 'wild swim' - what the fuck is the rebrand all about - and then - wait for it - now SELL HOODIES. Oh fuck off. Just go swimming.
🤣🤣
Oh they're here in Galway too!!! All the gear and insisting to tell everyone within a five mile radius about their "wild swimming" and their notions! 🤣
