One I remember is buying a top from the app called Wish. It looked like a rag.
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@GunFinger when I buy from an app I make sure not to pay until I get the product and see it first hand 🤷‍♂️
GunFinger · F
@ASLAN which app does that?
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@GunFinger well here where I live it's pretty common.. I pay when I get my purchase 🤷‍♂️. If I didn't like it I can simply say no thanks. ☺️

Putting a shit load of money down on my Chevy truck because I just wanted it paid off quick. Backfired on me. Finances are not my fucking strong suit 🙄
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Notsimilar oooh that must have been hard
Notsimilar · 31-35, F
@ASLAN oh boy does it hurt to think about. 🙄

Live and learn I guess
Lilymoon · F
An air fryer. I used it once 🤦‍♀️
Lilymoon · F
@ASLAN it supposedly "fries" your food without any added oil. It's actually not bad but it's a pain in the ass to clean and it takes up a lot of space. Haha
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Lilymoon ooooh.. That's actually smart I want that 🤓..

Wait, I don't cook 🤦‍♂️
See I was About to make a dumb purchase rn 😂
Lilymoon · F
@ASLAN hahaha that was my thinking until I bought it. 😆
I just bought roof racks..
I didn’t see the RC in the title..
so now I need a remote control car to put it on..
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout well that's a waste 😂

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Thought it was KC?

ASLAN · 26-30, M

You know, that is a great question. I recently moved back home from a state where I lived for 23 years. The state I moved to used apple juice as apple cider.
Now I really, really love apple cider, and being gone for 23 years, I craved me some apple cider. That being said, I moved home in April and had to wait until Fall for the nectar of the Gods called apple cider.
Fall came around and the craving was in full force, so I talked my roommate into running me to the store to purchase my first jug of ambrosia. ( my mouth is watering I type).
When we get to the store, I don't want to spend an hour just to purchase apple cider. So I run in, (more like walk briskly), and find the apple cider, I grab the first half gallon I come to and high tail it to the register and make my purchase. I get back to the vehicle and we head home. We get into the house and the first thing I do is go to the cupboard, grab a glass and pour me a glass of deliciousness.
Now please remember, It's been 23 years since I've been able to enjoy my first taste of cider. I tip the glass back and take a huge gulp and man, this doesn't taste like I remembered...did I purchase a bad jug of cider? did my taste change? I look at the bottle and what do my wondering eyes see? friggin Pumpkin Spice. now I'm not a pumpkin spice fan to begin with, but, who in the name of God would put pumpkin spice in apple cider?? go ahead, go ahead, I'll wait...
So, the answer to your inquiry is Pumpkin Spiced Apple Cide.

My grandma's 1996 Honda Accord

😡The world's most stolen car
Viper · M
@Lostpoet lol, she sold it to all her grand kids, before she steals it back and sells it to the next one 😋 jk lol
Lostpoet · M
@Viper it was fine until I moved downtown and then it got jacked twice in a months period and the second time they completely vandalized the inside and destroyed the front bumper.
Viper · M
@Lostpoet yup got to be careful moving downtown.

I've thought about it a couple of times but haven't done it yet
Iwillwait · M
Right now it's an non-winning Lottery Ticket.
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Iwillwait well let's all admit that you already knew it's a dumb purchase but went for it anyway 🤷‍♂️😂
Iwillwait · M
@ASLAN 🤨 Y'got to be innit2winnit!
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Iwillwait well, until u win it.. It's still considered a dumb purchase 😁🤷‍♂️

A 30 lb body bar. Even though I can lift two 20 and 25 lb dumbbells, for chest press, the body bar feels heavier and very awkward to lift just to move it. I don’t know if they mistakenly sent me a heavier one, or the length of it makes it difficult to hold. Anyway, it’s brand new, and I can’t use it. Waste of money.
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Carissimi how about you try to sell it ☺️☺️
Carissimi · 70-79, F
I wouldn’t know how. As I stay away from people, it would be difficult. I can’t ship it to someone. It’s too heavy to wrap and put in a box that I don’t have. @ASLAN
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@Carissimi oh hmmm🤔🤔
Work hard until you reach its weight and then you can use it gof workouts 😁😁
Here's a motivation for you ma'am ☺️☺️

A sewing machine and a bunch of fabric and just so much stuff in one big impulsive buy because i randomly wanted to try cosplaying one day. I spent a lot of money for things that are just in my garage boxed up that have never and will never be used
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@ZashaKitty
lady.... You have issues 🙂🤷‍♂️
Cosplaying?
Well I guess we all do dumb things sometimes 😅
ZashaKitty · 26-30, F
@ASLAN umm It seemed like a fantastic idea at the time despite not knowing how to sew or anything else but i was convinced it was going to make my life so much better haha... I was wrong
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@ZashaKitty god bless you're heart ☺️☺️😅

i have a pair of ski boots that I bought for about 400$, wore them 2-3 times then went back to my old ones.
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@reflectingmonkey how about you sell them 🤷‍♂️
reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M
@ASLAN I know, I really should. maybe, i will use this conversation as a catalist to do it and sell my boots.
ASLAN · 26-30, M
@reflectingmonkey I think you're going to start using them now 😂
Viper · M
Full price on college books...
Riemann · 31-35, M
@Viper Why?
Viper · M
@Riemann because painful prices are rip off when you can get them a hell lot cheaper other ways... Plus some classes you basically didn't even need the book, just take great notes during class and get the professors PowerPoints
Riemann · 31-35, M
@Viper You can sometimes get second hand or u can rent. I think one needs a book for every classes to thoroughly study.
