Targeted Advertising Hits A New Level (self.Blind)
submitted by ABlindManPlays
Okay, story time! I'm VI due to severe keratoconus. Legally blind, but I've found accommodations for a lot of things. Since I can't drive anymore, I do a lot of my shopping on Amazon.
I was shopping for a new chair when the suggested buys came up. I did a double take and burst out laughing.
$1
For those unable to see the image, Amazon had a pair of replica movie prop eyeballs as a suggested buy for me. This was just after I canceled my Prime membership to save some money, so all I could think of was Amazon sassing me with, "How about a pair of eyes, you blind bastard?"
Been chuckling about it for two days now, thought I would share.

I put them on my wishlist for the future just for the story attached to them now!

They knew what they were doing 😂 I wouldn’t be surprised if they had someone manually put that into your recommendations.
