I was browsing around amazon.com and I always try to fill my orders with stuff that I need desperately, and stuff that would be nice to have, just to save on the shipping. I was looking around Amazon to see what I else I could put in my order cart. To get some ideas I looked at my wishlist that I update from time to time. No inspiration there. There is a special place where you can "Find someone's Wish list", just for fun I put in Kuwait and I got some funny results.
The "kuwait awqaf public foundation" wanted a whole bunch of books about Awqaf, they where mostly unavailble except for some french waqf books.
Somebody called Kuwait wanted an Etienne Aigner A Logo Tote with some Havaianas Women's High Light Flip Flops, I hope its a girl.
Captain Amer T. Almajed (Kuwait airways) wished for the book "Building Safe Systems in Aviation". Hmm, makes me a little nervous about flying on Kuwait Airways.
Jordan Kuwait Bank wished for a long list of books. Books like "What the Hell Do Women Really Want: A Guide for Men in the 90s", "Flirting with Forty", "The Playbook : The Definitive Guide To Dating For Young Professional Men". Ladies, if you are looking for a job don't work for the Kuwait Jordan bank, unless you want to be hit upon.
The Kuwait Science club wished for a "Canon EOS 20Da Digital SLR Astronomical Camera". That sounds reasonable, someone might donate one to them.
Its interesting what people wish for, and more interesting to find out.
You know, as funny as those results sound. They seem quite reasonable.. except for that bank guy..
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteBut I really blame Amazon on making it Public by default. I remember sticking my nose into my friend's list for quite some time. He was a geek and I wanted good recommendations.
More than a year later I told him "The Invisible Web is not worth it, don't buy it". Looked at me surprised and said, "I already got it, it's bad. How do you know?"
People don't know it's public really. Amazon should make it clear this is public. He's so nice though I can still see his profile public :)
Dying laughing.
ReplyDeleteRemind me NEVER to put anything on my Amazon wish list! That's an amazing lack of privacy. It never occurred to me other people could look at your wish list, duh.......
LOL, that's funny.... but there are some good Kuwaiti amazon wish lists ;)
ReplyDeleten: yeah bank guy is very desperate.
ReplyDeletebashar: I hope yhey keep it public, its fun beeing nosy.
intlxpatr: funny, nevertheless.
shaymaa: I only looked at the wishlists that had the word kuwait, I am sure there are more serious ones.
