Horror city if everybody did this. I was at a website looking at some real clothing items and got back an email asking if I wouldn't like to take another look at an item I was looking at to consider buying it! That's worse than, hay you left you left something in the cart lol ...

The scariest part of the movie "Minority Report" wasn't that a bathtub full of freaks was predicting crimes that people would get arrested for, no. The scariest part was when Tom Cruise's character was on the run, he stumbles into a shopping mall, and suddenly EVERY store window is offering him things he bought before. "Wouldn't you like another Heineken beer about now?"
This of course meant that every computer and every agency knew exactly where he was...
....it's heading to that level in RL. .
100% agree with SlimerJSpud: that scene was so creepy it made me physically shudder.
2 + 2 =.... anybody?
...five!...no...three!".

For a while, until I disabled the feature a couple of months ago, I'd get Google report maps about my travels during the month. They were just a pathetic dot centered on my house.
Big Brother is your friend.
It's getting to the level of "Wait! Can I interest you in a extended warranty for your car?"
Or insurance for said car. For the guy who not only not owns a car, but doesn't have a driver's license. Hates driving.
Is that like the "insulate your roof" spam I get when I'm not even the owner (never mind that it was already insulated in the eighties?)
Why don't I get those "would you like another beer" adds?
Because the advertising executives on Madison Ave. in NYC haven't figured out how to make enough money out of it yet?
or
Because you already do, that's what those TV commercials for Budweiser are?
or
Because your personal information at Google is completely screwed up and you are thought to be an anti-alcohol reformist left over from the Prohibition Era?
Yeah... no better way of assuring I never go back there again and tell everyone about the creepy email which will turn off more people to their crappy sales tactics... Who thinks this stuff is okay? Not only is it annoying it's kinda insulting in that they think someone is so simpleminded that will work on them.
Them: "Wouldn't you like to take another look at the product you decided wasn't what you wanted and reconsider buying it now because we are asking you?..."
Customer : "Well derrrherherrr, I never thought of it that way! Thanks! Give me five of them!"
It's like those salespeople who roam around in big box retailers who accost you while you are shopping, trying to sell you home improvements or credit cards and have to finish their spiel despite the person expressing zero interest... you know they took a class or had to watch a video or something that instructed them to do that... someone running that program thinks annoying customers is a good thing, so that if you already are annoyed with the store for the many other annoying things that you'll inevitably encounter, this one even more annoying thing can be the cherry topping on your crap sundae.
