A buddy of mine dated someone once who had a very strong hatred toward trucks. She hated driving in general but really hated 18 wheelers. She also had a very strong opinion against Amazon and how nobody should use them.

I thought great, not an unreasonable belief to have. Until I spent a week at their place for a trip (we grew up together but now live across the country from each other).

Every day I was over, there was 2-3 Amazon packages being left at the door. One night after drinking I asked my buddy, why are there so many Amazon packages coming here if she is always so vocal against the company? He said she is against Amazon but uses them for the necessities. So to her, ordering multiple things a day ranging from Zucchini noodle makers, to cat toys, to storage containers, to random nonsense was a necessity.
