    And then you’re left with the anxiety if you made the right purchase as you wait for it to arrive on your doorstep and a tinge of lingering regret if it doesn’t 100% meet your expectations.

      Or like, buyers remorse but before you even have The Thing because you impulse bought The Thing and THEN started down a deep research rabbit hole about The Thing and found out that you could definitely get a Thing that meets your needs much better than The Thing you bought except The Thing hasn’t even arrived yet.

      The first page I look at on a website is the return policy.

        I had to start forcing myself to do the research beforehand. It truly ruined any joy i might have gotten out of The Thing when I just sat there researching The Thing about a day after The Thing was ordered and slowly realized it wasn’t the correct Thing.

          I just default to buying the best possible Thing that I can so when I do the research it turns out that all other Things are inferior anyways. (I still did not need The Thing)
