You just helped your way out of a sale.

Yesterday, I came home from work and was pleasantly surprised to see there was a package waiting for me! It was a surprise, because in three short days I had already forgotten about a fantastic 25% off coupon I used at areopostale.com. I decided to make it a more regular thing, so I set out this afternoon to buy nice bedsheets.

Step 1- search "sheets" at overstock.com
Step 2- reorganize results as "Price: lowest to highest" (I said nice bedsheets, not amazing bedsheets.)
Step 3- click on the first white one I see.
Step 4- am offered a buyer's guide: how to change sheets.

Really? REALLY....?? Thanks overstock.com, but I think I can figure that one out on my own.

Step 5- or CAN i....? What if they have some super awesome way of doing it? What if I've been doing it wrong my whole life?
Step 6- click on link.
Step 7- Yep. Just like I suspected:
Step 8- Yeah, you know what, changing sheets is boring. Forget it, I don't want any more.

Who am I?

Part Liz Lemon
Part Stephanie Plum
Part Robin Scherbatsky

And if you're anything like me, those three links will give you at least 30 minutes worth of mindless web wandering. More on Wikipedia Wandering later.
