why, netflix, why?

I’m signed up for the 2 dvds per month plan on netflix. Sounds simple, right? It would be, except netflix sometimes sends a third dvd FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

I mean, on the one hand it feels crazy to get fired up about this, because hey — extra dvd! Yay!

But on the other hand, I like knowing what I can expect. (Not great with surprises.) The queue is ordered on the expectation that dvds will arrive two per month; there’s a plan!

[But wait, it gets better! So I went googling to see if I could find the actual text that netflix gave me yesterday in the ‘wondering why you have an extra disc?’ answer, and apparently this MYSTERY DISC issue is one that people have VERY STRONG FEELINGS about. I thought it was a somewhat humorous way to highlight my own difficulties handling the unexpected, but people have actually called netflix customer service over this. Repeatedly.]
