Then behave erratic as fuck when shopping online - pay for bibles, butt plugs, taxidermy, and PETA donations.

...in the same transaction. It all needs to be bought and then shipped together. Not only to fuck with the algorithm, but also to fuck with the delivery guy. Because we usually know what you ordered. Especially when it's in the soft bag packaging. Might as well make everyone outside your personal circle think you're a bit psychologically disturbed, just to be safe.

How? Aren't most items in boxes even in the bags? It's not like they just toss a butt plug into a bag and ship it...right?
