File this under "first world problems".
I've placed a couple of orders, recently, at Competitive Cyclist. I'm laughing at myself for two reasons. One is that their free shipping is UPS Ground (delivery via Post Office, which generally adds a day), and I've gotten used to near-instantaneous delivery from Amazon. So the wait is annoying me.
The other reasons I'm laughing is that, three days ago, I reviewed a pair of bib shorts, and said they were good, but expensive enough that I wasn't sure I'd ever order another pair. Right after finishing that review, I noticed that they'd dropped $40. Then, yesterday, they had a special on those shorts, where they'd throw in a free jersey (a top-of-the-line one, not a cheapie) if you bought them.
Since I'd been thinking about getting that exact jersey, that turned out to be enough to convince me to buy a second pair of the shorts.
So I'm ridiculous, I realize. Even more ridiculous, I didn't order faster shipping, and I'm anxious enough for my last two orders that I wish I had. Ah well, now you all can laugh at me as much as (or more than) I'm laughing at myself.
