amazon knows all things

This was inspired by a recent interaction I had with amazon.com. I like amazon and everything, but sometimes it fucking freaks me out. Most people have probably toyed around with amazon recommendations during casual browsing, but it gets really remarkable when you start detailing which albums you have and how much you like or dislike them. This coupled the information you give amazon while just clicking around links that seem interesting to you sometimes yields recommendations that are a little too good. I'm just glad amazon.com isn't a person. If it is, I'm sorry I said that. I was just kidding.

R: Hey, I'm looking to buy a few cd's.
A: Oh yes, of course we have that. Are you a new customer?
R: Actually no, here's my info.
A: Ah. Hello again, did you enjoy those last few cd's you bought?
R: Why yes I did. Very much, thank you.
A: Would you be interested in more suggestions?
R: Sure. I wouldn't mind.
A: Why don't you try this, this and this?
R: Oh wow, I have those cd's and I love them!
A: [smug smile] Well, if you told me you had them, I wouldn't have bothered to recommend them to you.
R: Huh?
A: Why don't you try these instead?
R: Oh I have those too. Man, you're amazingly helpful.
A: [exasperated sigh] Wish I could say the same about you.
R: What did you say?
A: Nothing. Why don't you try this one? You'll love it.
R: Uh. Sure.
A: Are you in a hurry to pick these up?
R: Not really.
A: Well, if you're heading over to [blah] later tonight, there's a place across the street where you can pick them up.
R: How did you know I was going there tonight?
A: Just a guess. Be sure you don't wear that red shirt you like to wear out because it looks kinda tacky with the shoes you were thinking of wearing.
R: What?
A: And don't forget that your brother's birthday just passed. He'll probably like this book. Just rush deliver it like you usually do and he won't notice the difference. Come to think of it, you should probably get something for your girlfriend too. Her birthday's day is almost here and given your work schedule, you probably won't be able to pick something up until it's too late anyway. You can't keep getting her presents after the fact. While we're on the subject, she doesn't like how you sometimes breathe with your mouth open.
R: .... You know my girlfriend?
