Since our lil' buddy Curious Joel will be out of circulation and unable to post complaints, I thought I'd throw one out there.

I spent about an hour last night trying to find something to buy on Amazon. I ordered a Racor bicycle hoist for my garage for the low low price of $25. (It's $40+ everywhere else.) Cool! The only thing was that to get free shipping you have to spend $25. I was $0.01 off. What the hell do you buy for a penny??? I tried to buy a wax applicator sponge for $0.90 but it was from some other store, not Amazon, and I didn't want to mess with how the shipping would work. I searched around the site in just about every department. The main reason I was so determined was that shipping for that one item would have been $10 and I'd be damned if I didn't at least get something for that $10. I finally decided on Beck's new CD for $10.99. At least that way I sort of get a free CD since shipping would have cost me $10.

I hate when I get obsessive.
