@arstechnica Amazon is cancer. It has metastasized now in every single bit of society. But we all wanted it like that. And now you begin to complain.

@arstechnica I really don’t understand why people use Amazon still.

@arstechnica I was getting six packs of Lysol wipes for several months. No idea where they came from or who ordered them. Amazon is a mess.

The packages I received had no return labels and no tracking numbers. It was so weird. Fortunately they weren't COD though.

@arstechnica For sale, baby shoes. Loads of them. Seriously, they keep coming.

@arstechnica this happened to me to a lesser extent but with desk chairs and bookshelves. Was funny at first, then annoying…

@tdorie Sounds like a good way to start a business! Tony's Chair & Bookshelf Superstore?

But if you're feeling generous, it's also the perfect way to make friends with the neighbors.
