Attempted to buy something from a Chinese website today and somehow ended up in an accidental absurdist play

Act I:
I click “buy.”
The website sighs deeply and refuses, as if overwhelmed by my ambition.

Act II:
Shipping appears.
Then disappears.
Then returns like it forgot its cue.

Act III:
A seller message arrives, cryptic enough that I briefly wonder
if I’ve been chosen for a prophecy.

Act IV:
The page reloads itself without permission,
as though trying to escape its own responsibilities.

By the end, I wasn’t sure if I was shopping
or participating in an avant-garde performance art piece.

Does this… happen to other people,
or have I simply wandered into the theatre district of the internet?
