What Amazon REALLY thinks of you

I've just read a hilarious Threads about this.

Go to your amazon account > shopping preferences > scroll down > about you.

Mine is fairly tame "has a cat" "travels regularly" "regularly purchases skincare" etc but some of the screenshots on threads were fantastic -

"Has flat buttocks:
"Likes to buy hats for their dog"
"Had a relationship with La Toya Jackson"
"Has no friends"

What does your amazon think of you??

Ha! That made me laugh 😂

under hobbies it says I maintain a comprehensive skincare routine, engage in home fitness activities and like home entertainment streaming,

oh and only one brand, apparently I “like L’occitane for luxury body care”

Who doesn't like L'Occitane?! But do you buy it?

Mine made me sad. Said a lot about buying pet supplies. My dog died earlier this year.

Me too 😞

'Repeatedly buys identical travel bags'. It sounds like I have some sort of dubious secret life smuggling exciting things, but actually it's just that I got the same hard cases for each of us once, and then the same Ryanair under-the-seat bags for us all as well.

"Probably has a Breville toaster"

I couldn't tell you what brand my toaster is!

Several of mine highlight that I have no life or hobbies because my life is currently my child’s hobbies, whims and desires:

“Actively promotes child literacy and reading”

“Consistently building children's educational library”

“Encourages imaginative play through dress-up activities”

“Supports child's creative development through art activities”

I did have to laugh at how wrong they got me with this one though:

“Maintains organized home environment”

Owns a cat
regularly buys toilet paper
“probably” lives in my town (it’s got my bloody home address!)
likes gardening

The 'probably lives in...' bit made me laugh too!

Best I have is 'invests in premium chocolate snacks'.... I've bought a kit kat hamper box once a term for the teachers at school 😂

Lathemistress · Yesterday 19:51

Mines boring (although quite accurate)
Reads a lot of fiction and likes chocolate Grin

GinToBegin · Yesterday 19:52

Apparently I have one adult, prefer premium gin and garden actively.

I suppose so, of course, and no - absolutely not.

Thanks for opening up this whole new world of wonder, OP.

KookyHen · Yesterday 19:52

Oh, also, the below make me sound like a make-up pro/snob…

“Likes specific makeup brands”

“Maintains steady cosmetics replenishment routine”

…whereas actually, several years back, I identified a cheap mascara on Amazon that turned out to be ok and a cheap blusher stick that also turned out to be ok, and a foundation that is cheap but goes on slightly less orange than others I’ve tried of the same price range, so I order all three on repeat.

So actually lazy AF with cosmetics 🤣

GinToBegin · Yesterday 19:53

Oh, and I ‘systematically acquired food storage containers‘ which is news to me, but okay, then.

Mine made me sad. Said a lot about buying pet supplies. My dog died earlier this year.

I went through my recommendations section after my dog died a few months ago and removed everything I had bought for him as it was too upsetting to see a reminder to buy his usual stuff.

Seziah · Yesterday 19:58

Mine mentions cats six times. But unfortunately nothing about my buttocks

BearSoFair · Yesterday 20:01

'Maintains consistent notebook replenishment' is definitely me! 😂

There are lots of mentions of my cats too.

Reminds me of when I stopped to buy cat food and wine on the way home from a late finish at work. The assistant went to ID me, slowly looked from the wine to the cat food and back again, closed her mouth and hit 'clearly over 25' 🤣🤣

Mine thinks I am a fountain pen obsessive

Departments - Fountain pen writing
Hobbies and interests - writes with fountain pens regularly
Brands - prefers Kaweco fountain pens
Product preferences - prefers premium fountain pen brands

For the record, I have two fountain pens, one at work and one in my bag.

Also the frantic buying of supplements to help her. A sad time.

I think I will do the same. Thanks for suggesting it.
I do find it a bit upsetting to be honest.

Flamingbanana214 · Yesterday 20:08

Oh that's upsetting. I'll have to do the same if anything happened to my boys 😿

Wow, I'd definitely like to be me - I sound seriously impressive!

Although I also apparently have great loyalty to a brand of 'intimate apparel' I've never heard of. I think I maybe bought some knickers a year or two ago?! So maybe their read of me isn't quite as accurate as I would like 😢

Under Interests and hobbies mine says ‘maintains an organised home environment’… I need to get a life!!
