It was today that I decided I would search online for a nice, quality movie poster to hang on my closet door. And...BAM! I entered into an entirely new world of stress and lies.
Buying things online is incredibly stressful for me for a number of reasons.
1. You honestly have no idea what you're getting. All you see is a 2" picture that could've just as easily been taken of someone else's random item.
2. I, personally, like to get a feel for something before I spend good money on it. All I can do now is stare at the tiny picture and hope for the best.
3. Things randomly appear in different languages and I get very near to buying it before realizing it's in Swedish.
4. No matter where I seem to order things from, it always happens to be from very far away and have a sketchy sounding name.
5. All of the options stress me out and lead me to regret completing my order.
6. I just hate spending money.*
I can just imagine the nerdy yet deceitful people that sell things online, just waiting for unsuspecting people like me to give them money. One of these days I'm going to sell a bunch of really crappy stuff, tell everyone it's amazing stuff, and get my revenge.
*It's my parent's money I am referring to, but the guilt is still very much there.
