as a bitch with Dumb Forgetful Bitch Who Can’t Do Math Disease* I personally resent coupon codes. Especially the ones where you have to type in the right one, and it’s up to you to figure out which one gives you the best deal.

Every fucking website has these, nowadays. Always. And you can always only choose one, or like, you have to know it’s there. Nobody has “this is the sale, buy now to get the sale” shit, it’s ALL “save X with coupon code Y” and if you don’t know and don’t put the coupon in at the right time you don’t get it. That’s that, no exchanges no returns, you have to have known about the coupon and applied it properly in the correct order in order to get that price.

Fucking– it is hard ENOUGH to shop as it is when I have memory problems. it’s real fuckin hard for me to keep straight “ok there are 3 options for X, and they’re different in Y ways, and the one that is best for me is probably Z” long enough to actually get that shit into my shopping cart with all the right size color options etc applied. I know this is basic adulting, basic even living in the world kind of shit, but I have such a fucked-up relationship with money, AND who even knows what’s wrong with my attention span, but I can’t– that is SO hard for me, to have to remember what were my options, what were the differences, which one did I choose and why– and then at the end I have to remember and type in a coupon code? and there are like two different ones active? and i should pick which one saves me more money, which involves doing math, at which I am astonishingly bad– again, no diagnosis here, I just have learned that this thing other people seem to find trivially easy is catastrophically difficult for me every time in every way no matter what I do, so that’s cool–

anyway then I have to remember to put it in, and check that it actually worked, and if not reread the terms and conditions and figure out why some of my options are eligible and some aren’t– it’s not going to tell me why, I have to figure that out, which again is apparently trivially easy for most people I guess, but for me that’s like, ok, I need to bring my entire tiny intellect to bear on this to figure out what the fuck I’m looking at here and get it all to load into my working memory at the same time– impossible– maybe if I write it down for a minute– IDK.

ANYWAY

I get it all in there and I pick the coupon code that seems to work the best and I place the order

and immediately I get a thanks email, a separate confirmation email, a separate “this’ll take us a week to two weeks to make” email which is fine, and

THEN i get an email with a NEW coupon code, for MORE than any of the other coupons I was previously offered

for a product I won’t get for 14 days to see if I like

and the coupon expires in a week

and like WHY at this point it’s really just a Fuck You For Buying Shit

I am going to go lie down.
