I Check OzBargain 100+ Times Day, Please Help

I don't even buy much off it, I just can't help checking.

If I did a single push up for every time I checked, I would look like Rambo.

Any alternatives web sites to put in the mix.

Any other addicts.

      Full Ozbargain Manic Obsessive?

      That's quite severe, and much worse than being a HOMO (Half Ozbargain Manic Obsessive)

  • Present. I check Ozbargain around the same or even more than you! Scotty, could we get a stats page for our accounts to see how many times we checked Ozbargain? Cheers!

    The first step is admitting you have a problem. Unfortunately, your posting contains three possible problems, and I'm not sure which one you want help with.

    Is your problem that you do not want to check OzB 100+ times a day, or that you want to buy more bargains, or that you want to look like Rambo?

    • In order of issue

      I wanna look like Rambo,
      I need something else to check.

      Don't need to buy more stuff, I have a house littered with quinton dunny rolls, maconna coffee, and Ethernet cables I'll never use.

      • Do a pushup every time You check OzB

      • Unclesnake, by posting this question you KNOW you will have to look at OzBargain MORE times a day to see who has responded to your question!

    Maybe go onto a freelancing site and check it 100x a day for paid jobs you can complete on your computer in e.g. < 1hr ? Maybe make $$ while you wait to save $$ on ozb… win win.

    If you do this and it works pls let me know

    Prove it. Do a before and after shot.

    Same here. I get anxiety if there's is 100 positives for a deal and I don't purchase it. I get big time FOMO. Ozbargain is ruining my life.

    You are simply spending too much on time work tasks. If you really apply yourself you can easily increase the amount of time you spend on OzBargain.

  • Close you browser.

    Just remember you save more money by not buying anything at all.

  • Start actually doing the push ups (Do 10 to make it interesting), the body will start to anticipate the pain and your brain will start to block out the urge.

    • +1

      Block out the urge to do pushups?

    • But then they might start looking for fitness and supplement bargains!

    • Here's a twist. Do a push-up for every bargain posted. So far today its more than 70. So the more frequently you check, the easier it would be.

  • At least this loke got his priorities right

    • Is that eneloops out of their packaging?

  • Maybe we should start OA "OzBargains anonymous" :)
    my wife has noticed I have this problem too!
    I thinks it's the almost daily arrival of small packages from China that's got her worried.

      If tensions between Australia and China ever reaches critical, your lightbulbs will strobe in a million different colours with random dimming giving you a headache.

      Your kettle will heat the water hotter than your typical settings so you burn your tongue.

      Your phone will send your numb tongue cursing to your clients.

      Your dashcam will not record and in your attempt to get it to work, you'll be late for work but your door won't unlock.

      That's how we will lose the war mate.

      • Are you saying the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem is designed to kill us when war boils over with China?

        • It's the little things.

          They take away our ability to wipe our own asses and the crowd roars with thundering applause.

          When the day comes, those bidets will stop working. Our asses will crust, crack and fissure. Haemorrhoids will flood our streets and chaos will finally call our great nation home.

    I check it 15-20 times a day.
    The problem is i'll be really busy one day and not check it, and the next day i'll have missed out on a bargain that i actually wanted :(

  • those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up!

  • I don't know what I am helping you with - you seem like a normal individual who requires no assistance.

  • I check ozb more than i do porn

  • Hi
    My name’s Hiro and i’m an addict

  • you're missing a 0…

  • Yeah I get a little more depressed every time I refresh and there's no new bargains.

  • See your no purchases as proof your life is materially complete.

    Now go do those push-ups and see the sun.

  • Its Free! So why wouldn't you? hehe
    Ah….I love the smell of caffeine in the morning whilst re-reading OzB posts for the 10th time.

  • This thread is severely worrying.

  • Delete your phone

  • Haha my mind voice. And also how many minutes do we all spend at work time in OZB? Perhaps I should post it as a question lol

  • I just wait for the daily email, and just go on once each morning. I'm still here today, which is not later than usual.
    It's not like I've been just on ozbargain all day - I've got up to make coffee about 6 times… and I did have a big distraction looking at what the heck is an Echo that Amazon is selling and whether that is better than Google Home and whether I can return the light bulbs I just bought because I now need smart ones…

    When I was working I stopped coming to ozbargain for a while because it seemed like a disproportionate part of my life.
    Now it's pretty much all I have.

    At least I buy stuff though!

  • Go to page info on your browser

    Then select security

    On firefox it will show you how many times have you visted a site;

    4,801 times on my work pc

    13 times a day if I login every day

  • I got this from Firefox: "8,804 times"

    For ONE second I was worried, but then realised I'm probably a rookie when it comes to some of you guys'n'gals…
