Ever watse money on something crappy???

Like buying something on the spur of the moment only to realize what a waste it was later on???

I'm into Wrestling, and when the nWo first got popular, I wanted a nWo shirt. Well I waited for months for one to come out in Australia. I waited and waited untill I saw one being advertised. But the problem was it cost $60 Bucks. That's right fokes $60 Dollars for a lowsly T-Shirt. Yes I was quite Popular for about 2-3 months because I had a Very hard to get nWo shirt, but still $60 bucks. Oh well, what can I do about it now.

Heh... all the time!

I spent $70 on an E3 Oddworld brochure... but it was Oddworld, so I can't complain!!!

But I did waste a large amount of money on this Jeff George football trading card... it was a 1/5 edition. Seemed good at the time... until later on I got a 1/1 (only one in existance) for a lot less... plus saw another from the same series go for less! Yep, I certainly wasted money on that one!!!

Heaps of other stuff spring to mind, games that suck, things I will never use or even look at ... I'm a sucker for buying stuff and being impatient and then finding it cheaper some time later.

Yeah, I just bought Orbital's latest album, The Altogether, for 13 quid (about US$20), and it's nowhere near as good as any of their previous albums. I wish I'd saved my cash and bought JMJ's Zoolook instead.

My friend Mactus wasted loads of money on gameboy games. Ah well. I don't have a gameboy, so what do I know?
As for me, hmmm. . . What did I waste my money on? I know, a radio controlled monster truck. 60 bloody pounds for something that's batteries last only half an hour, and takes 8 hours to re-charge! Oh well, I had some fun with it.

I don't waste my money, I only waste my time on .......Oddworld related stuff. It's not actually 'wasted' time, but there are so much other (more important?) things I should do.
Oh yes, one time I wasted my money on a mountainbike that wasn't big enough, but I could sell it so I got my money back!

Well, my brother just spent $70 on one of those gay crappy Razor Scooters. I kept telling him that it's not worth it and I tried to convince him that they suck, but he wouldn't listen. And the second he walked out of the van with his Razor Scooter, my friend said, "Oh I saw one of those at Wal-Mart for $10!"

My brother just stood there and had this weird look on his face then walked inside.

*sigh* My little brother's a retard soetimes.

I know! And it sucks too! Those stupid things can't even ride over a crack without falling over. I do not see what is so good about them. I tried to convince him over and over that they are not worth the money and he could get a nice pair of rollerblades or a new bike instead, or even a used N64, but he would not listen. I told him before hand that once he got it, he probably wouldn't even use it, and I was right! He's used it breifly a couple times and that's it.

Heeh, I do that all the time. Think ooh this looks like a bargain... and then get home and think I just spent £howevermuch on this pile of pants...

Although my £40 set of watercolour pens was a pretty good buy, I'd say...
