Why do I do things I know will drive me batcrap crazy?

buy a watch from swappa. Pay $15 for expedited shipping. Seller tells me he will ship today. So am sitting here irritated because I don't have a tracking. It's only 6 where he is.

I will obsess until it ships. I do this everytime I buy from there.
Everytime I swear I won't do it again.

    So tell us about this "Swappa," J. Other than triggering your impatience, is it okay? I'd never heard of it, but took a quick look, and thought it might be a good source for one who's always looking for places to get bargains (translated: cheapskate who can't sleep at night if I buy something that I should've saved more $ on).

    It's good. I've had one issue that ended in my favor.

    The IMEI type items are verified so you can trust it's owned by the person posting. You can haggle though with times being like they are it's tougher to talk anyone down.

    I have bought several phones for my boys, a MacBook Pro, and several watches. Sold a few phones and watches.

    I had issue with a woman that never verified she received it, then came back around 2 months later saying wasn't as described. Wouldn't send pics, PayPal sided with me because I document everything in a sale.

    Shipping is included in prices, unless expedited required to ship within 2 business days.

    Payment is only through PayPal.

    Oh, and I can't remember - is this the thread where everyone was talking about toilet paper? Actually, I think they all are.

    So I'm the idiot who thought the tp craze would be over by now. Wife goes to Costco about once a month, so we were pretty set when all this set in. Now, she told me she was getting worried about the supply, and placed an order on Amazon, but it wasn't scheduled for delivery until June. She's starting to do some panicing (panicking?) of her own, and has me running around the house with her, checking closets, guest rooms, kid's rooms, etc. doing an inventory. We've been doing Kroger delivery for a month, and they've had pretty much everything else, but of course not tp today.

    So I decide to look online 10 minutes ago, and found some on Amazon that's supposed to deliver on 4/21, so that's okay. We're good for probably 2-3 weeks. Or maybe 5 years, if my wife wasn't using it.

    But I see this in the 2nd row of results. Who'da thought- in what world would someone think to use that name? World Backyard? And what, exactly, is a Professional .... Wiper? One who wipes the butts of professionals, or one who wipes his own but professionally? Am I even qualified to buy this?
