New Look. FFS. I was not "sneaking a peek" at your website. I was looking at it "like a normal person".

Aargh. I bloody hate those stalkery shopping emails, but when they're worded like this they are utterly enraging:

"We saw you sneaking a peek - can't stop thinking about it? Buy it."

I was not "sneaking" anything, I was looking for a pair of shoes. Which I didn't find because you didn't have DD's size, as it happens.

I'm not sitting here on my sofa thinking about sneaking peeks at your bloody website and slavering over a pair of £10 crappy canvas shoes. Get over yourselves.

I loathe those stalkery emails. Lots of stores do it. You click on their emails and you get an email a few hours later “did you find what you were looking for?”

It’s up there with the pop ups that arrive 2 seconds after you’ve visited the website, begging you to fill out a survey on what you think about a shopping experience you haven’t yet started. M&S, I’m looking at you.

glad it's not just me. I mean ffs - imagine if they did this in store, hid behind a rack of leggings or something then leapt out saying "I saw you sneaking a peek at those leggings... how much do you want them, bitch?".

How fucking creepy would that be?

At least they didn’t write “sneaking a peak”. I would have spontaneously combusted.

Some online shops send tiresome “oooh did you forget to buy the thing you were looking at?” emails. No. There is a reason for it not being in my basket.

OMG. YES. SNEEKING A FUCKING PEAK.

And yes the Premature Pop Ups' - so how was your experience, eh, eh?

Okay they are trolling now. Lidderally just had another one:

"So many reasons to keep on looking. Can't stop thinking about it? Buy it."

You're escalating the reasons to be irritated by your creepy weirdy marketing communication, New Look.

Boden does this ‘you only regret the things you didn’t buy’ and ‘can’t stop thinking about me’. Argh, just stop it, it’s revolting me!

Johnny Boden can piss off out of my inbox.

The worst thing is, they always say "You can't reply to this email", so you can't even vent with a quick, email in response!

Thank goodness for MN's rant forum!

AO does it too. I only looked on there to compare a price. “We saw you looking!” Now they message every bloody day, I’ve already bought the thing somewhere else!

It’s those ‘49 people are looking at this right now’ pop ups you get over the item.
No 49 people are not looking at the item, they are like me, screaming because I can’t see the fucking thing because of the stupid pop up.

They don’t let us reply to their emails cos they know what we will tell them.

MN needs a "general rants" or "just venting" board, specifically for threads like this.

And I agree 100% with the OP, BTW. Bloody lazy marketing. I rarely see anything I want to buy in the shops these days because it's all cheap plastic-y shite! And they still cyber stalk me, to try to change my mind. No. No, no, no.

Also, ‘49 people are looking at this’ actually puts me off because it means someone else at work might have the same thing! I don’t know who on earth thought that was enticing!

oh yes the distracting floaty pop ups saying ''Mary Blob just bought the Silver Package" are also truly enraging. Quite apart from the privacy issue (if indeed Mary is real and bought any such thing) I DON'T CARE!!

After booking a hair appointment on Treatwell, they send multiple mails with 'Having a bad hair day?' in the subject bar. No I'm not having a bl**dy bad hair day. I'm a normal person who gets a hair cut sometimes.
Lazy, sexist marketing. Spammy cliches foisted upon me via my inbox.

The pretend "we're sorry we messed up/made a mistake have 10% on us" ones bug me. No you didn't, or if you did you need to look at your staff training as you are doing it every time I have a browse on your site.

It’s those ‘49 people are looking at this right now’ pop ups you get over the item.

Now that I do find creepy! Probably lying in an attempt to sell shite.

I hate it when I'm shopping in Tesco and I get an email. From Tesco. Gives me the creeps.

The one that gets me is when online only stores have pop ups saying things like, 'brand new today for all of you huns with holidays booked'.....

I hate the ones from booking.com "You recently booked a hotel in Hamburg. Here are some other hotels you might also be interested in booking".

No, I´m not interested in them because I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED A HOTEL.

I once stayed in Rotherham on an away job for a few weeks. Ages ago. Booking.com constantly tells me about deals in Rotherham. I have nothing against the town but PLEASE STOP WITH ROTHERHAM.

Amazon do this all the time where I get an email saying "you just bought this. Here's similar items you might like." And it's the same damn thing - I've just bought a lawnmower, why would I buy another two days later!!!
