I went into centrecom to get one tube of thermal paste. I assumed all would be well since I click and collected it.

All was not well. I spent an hour and a half in there and I now have 4 more Ethernet cables, a new USB stick I didn't need and yet another can of air duster

spoiler___ in my defence, the USB stick was $8 for a 32gb USB 3.2 HP stick, and the Ethernet cables were $2 each

Edit: and I almost bought a new ethernet switch, even though I already have 3 I'm not even currently using

That's a good eel I wouldn't think twice of that.

I see you shop the same way I do. Go in for 1 thing and leave with a heap of stuff you ‘didn’t know you needed’

I am same. This is why I do not browse.

Also, I saw the components to make some really cool dinosaur earrings but I have so many earrings already. 🤓
