    Default Coincidence?

    So I go to Academy sports to buy a couple of chatterbaits and while I'm in there I pick up a 3 pack of Zman's 3/16 oz jighead's,....saltwater.
    I didn't go online and search for them ahead of time.

    I come back to the office and this keeps popping up on my computer.

    I did pay with a Visa card.

    It's OK to BE old, but it's also not a crime to fight it a little, Doc.

    I was on my way to work one morning about a year ago and noticed one of the roadside billboards.

    It said Buck Stove Pool and Spa, 1801 Montague Ave Ext, Greenwood.

    And I THOUGHT to myself hmmm I didnt realize Buck Stove Pool had moved locations, because they had been on the Bypass for 20 plus years

    I get to work and one of the first things to pop up on my screen was an ad for Buck Stove Pool and Spa.

    Creepy I tell ya

    My co worker showed me a picture of a Chevy pickup at a random dealership in N.C. on his cell phone last week. I held his cell phone and swiped through a few pictures of it while sitting at my desk. We discussed trucks, but neither of us ever mentioned the name of that dealership. An hour later I open Instagram on my cell phone and within the first few posts, I see an ad for the exact same truck at the same random dealership in N.C. I had not googled or looked at anything truck related in 8 months. We were not connected to the same wifi.

    The only connection that I could think of is that his cell and my work computer were connected to the same wifi network and I am signed into my personal google on both my work computer and my cell.

    It was at the old job, but we were talking about zero-turn mowers that used joysticks in the office one day.

    Never searched but the first ad I got on Facebook that afternoon was of a joystick zero-turn.

    A friend and I were at lunch a couple years ago. We mentioned someone who was a mutual friend in college wondering what happened to him, never searched for him on google or social media. After lunch, 15 or so minutes after the conversation, I opened Facebook and the first thing that popped up was a 'people you might know' and the person we mentioned was the first recommendation.

    It's not a coincidence.

    It is not coincidence, but you more than likely gave them permission to use your data. Every time you download an app or open an account, you agree to the terms of service, which usually means you give them permission to share and use the data they collect on you. Companies absolutely use credit card data to see what you buy and where you bought it. Those apps and services are free for a reason, your data is more valuable.

    I was discussing one of those "Walk In" style bathtubs for my mom at her house several months ago. The very next day I had sale papers in my mailbox for those same type tubs....

    I got Turtleboxed just for typing (never uttered the word) how much I hated the things in the Turtlebox thread.
