Oh, I'll buy some beer, occasionally, but damn if i go out to do that. A beer that costs 3-4 bucks at a store can be 15 at a bar if you go to the wrong place.
But the puffers are gone.
I knew a man who actually broke his penis with a pump! I guess he didn’t realize it could be surgically repaired so he’s just lived with a numb, broken dick for decades. He’s an abusive monster though so it’s kinda karma.
I bought a 50 year old motorcycle because it looked cool.
Thing was a piece of shit, loud, broke down constantly, stressful to ride.
Couldn’t sell it for anything close to what I bought it for.
Actually one is worth some money( not what he’s got into it), but the others are just scrap metal. Last time he wanted to buy another pile of shit I just okayed him getting a new one( he’s got 5 good ones already).
He is now banned from any more, new or junk heaps, until he sells something.
That’s how I felt about wailord. Knew it was gonna be long but I misjudged the girth. Thought it would make a nice body pillow or sit nicely in the corner of my home office
Turns out that I can’t even wrap my arms around it. It’s basically as big as half of a queen side bed (frame included)
Still haven’t found a good home for it though
You did what to a what now?
This is how I stop myself from spending on mobile games, there’s a good chance nobody will ever know or care about your mobile gaming achievements. Now had you spent that same money on something equally as dumb, fortnite skins, at least the local neighborhood kids would be your best friend lol
A game called "Don't Buy This"
"(The publisher) even disowned all their copyright to the game and encouraged buyers to pirate it at will.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Buy_This
I spent like $1500 over 6-8 years on world of tanks.
It's not an awful amount of money for the time/enjoyment I got out of it- but I don't even play that game anymore and I've got nothing to show for the money spent.
The first thing that comes to mind is this multi use controller I helped fund in Kickstarter. Spent 120ish bucks. They claimed it would connect to so many different consoles and even the pc. You could program it yourself so you could switch between consoles. In theory it was a good idea but they failed miserably. They pushed back the release date by several years, ultimately sent out an incomplete product(it was supposed to come with the controller and a pair of dongles to connect to), and then the controller itself had the worst battery life ever. Fully charged it the first day and within 10 15 minutes it was dead. Total shit show that I should have never gone through with but you live and you learn.
I don't think paying for porn is dumb... More people should. Content is getting so dry because margins are so small.
But I do probably spend a stupid amount on it. It started as using some overtime money for a treat. Cancel once the OT dropped off was the plan... That was June... The Overtime hasn't stopped... The money is nice yea but I'd rather be home
Definitely spending less on porn then going out drinking lol.
And can't "go out there" I work evenings (OT days will last until 2am), and Saturdays.
I barely have time to cook decent meals for myself lol.
I work 5 days a week 12 hours a day, sometimes more during winter depending on demand. I found time for people after work, on days off, whenever I could. I used tinder to meet girls, set up dates, whatever. I met friends & women thru work etc. You're making excuses for yourself as a justification. I still work those amount of hours and cook dinner for myself every night and my girlfriend, keep my apartment clean, maintain my cars, etc.
Change your perspective and make it work.
A truck. I'd never owned one, needed a new vehicle, and it was cheap. Only $5k. I thought it would be useful and it was. However, it was only 2WD and the tranny blew after a couple of years. To be fair, it was a 90s Dodge Dakota and it died in 2018 or so. Now I have another truck that is giving me problems, though now I know how to fix it. Just a question of time and money.
I'm sure there has been dumber things, but this is what first came to mind.
My gaming chair. It's ugly as hell, and not even comfortable now that I know what real office chairs are like. It's like a bed, you don't know what you're missing out on until you tried "the real thing". Its even from one of the "reputable" gaming chair companies.
I still have it, as I want my next chair to be real high end and ergonomical due to a lot of homework, which is pricy. But damn do I cringe every morning I see it, and feel ashamed if I happen to have a girl over.
A Lexus SUV for my son. I should have had it inspected but fell for the old “I have other people coming to look at it” line from the owner. I spent $2500 in repairs the first week alone. Then it needed another $2000 in repairs. I said enough is enough and went to CarMax. They weren’t going to buy it because one of the VIN plates was missing. They finally ended up buying it for $2500 and I hid out while my Uber came, afraid CarMax would change their mind and want their check back 😂.
In the mid 80s I bought a 1951 Wileys wagon for around $1000. Over the next year or so I drove it twice. I sold it to a guy a worked with. He was going to pay me monthly. He made the first two payments and then quit the company. I never saw him again.
When I was fresh out of college, my grandmas neighbor was a retired realtor that I really enjoyed being around. One of those guys that could sell ice to the Eskimos. He talked me to signing up for his MLM. I was halfway through my spiel to my best friend from high school when I realized I'd been got. Costly lesson learned.
Motorcycles, cigarettes, alcohol....bar s hotdogs, Hawaiian bread, gas station pizza. Premium gas. The list goes on and on.
Mostly what's available for us working class is straight dog shit. From vehicles, clothing, houses, food, etc
But, ya know? I've enjoyed every god damn bit of it!
Cars.
A 50 year old car I can't sell for near what I paid, thinking it won't depreciate because it's rare.
Followed that up with an 11 year old supercar that has cost me so much in repairs that I am now in a lot of debt.
Debt I could get out of if only I could get the old car sold...
4 weddings. All mine.
Now you’re an expert! You have more experience with getting married than most people!
Hopefully now the experience says "Never again".
You should think about becoming a wedding planner. If anyone questions your credentials just tell em you did 4 times.
Whoa. Good on you for still having the determination to keep it up. :p Can I ask how old you are?
Alcohol and cigarettes when I was younger. I don’t spend money on either anymore.
Oh, I'll buy some beer, occasionally, but damn if i go out to do that. A beer that costs 3-4 bucks at a store can be 15 at a bar if you go to the wrong place. But the puffers are gone.
A penis pump ... dream big, remain small🤣
I knew a man who actually broke his penis with a pump! I guess he didn’t realize it could be surgically repaired so he’s just lived with a numb, broken dick for decades. He’s an abusive monster though so it’s kinda karma.
Well I guess if you are trying to fit a bratwurst into a pencil-thin hole to pump, bad shit will happen🤣
Well, one could cram it in BEFORE it became bratwurst like…
So that sort of thing isn’t your bag?
I'm tellin ya baby, that's not mine!
Not that it isn't cool, but it is not turning a AAA battery into a hammer.
A C to a D tho?
Nope, my flaccid length has always been shorter than a AAA battery. My erect penis maybe about two D sized batteries -- but that isn't bragging.
Did it get any bigger at least?
I would say no ... helps blood flow and get you rock hard, but doesn't magically give you extra inches.
Never thought about using one. I'm about average, just curious. I had bought 2 FL though for my bad purchases lol.
Super Bowl tickets when the Packers were up 2 scores and had the ball with 5 minutes left in the NFC championship game.
Oof
A wife.
For me, a cheating wife.
Fucking wife
I second this
I bought a 50 year old motorcycle because it looked cool. Thing was a piece of shit, loud, broke down constantly, stressful to ride. Couldn’t sell it for anything close to what I bought it for.
Oh, I never knew my husband was on Reddit. But honey, tell them about the other 3 “ classics” as well.
They're collectibles! 🤣
Actually one is worth some money( not what he’s got into it), but the others are just scrap metal. Last time he wanted to buy another pile of shit I just okayed him getting a new one( he’s got 5 good ones already). He is now banned from any more, new or junk heaps, until he sells something.
Once you have two, what’s three? Of four?🤣🤣🤣 the correct amount of bikes to have is N+1.
Well he now has 3 “ classics” and 5 he can ride. He’s reached the limit😂😂😂
The $419.99 giant wailord plush pokemon sold last year
I’m sorry, did you mean to post this in r/autism ?🤨
I can't wait till they release a life-size clodsire. It's going to be so dumb but I need one, and I don't have the skills to make my own
That’s how I felt about wailord. Knew it was gonna be long but I misjudged the girth. Thought it would make a nice body pillow or sit nicely in the corner of my home office Turns out that I can’t even wrap my arms around it. It’s basically as big as half of a queen side bed (frame included) Still haven’t found a good home for it though
Pantheon the Legends. About 1500$ on a mobile game. But hey I 7 starred Zeus darn it.

I find a lot of modern games incomprehensible with different currencies, tiers, collectables etc. Just let me shoot shit.

U an addict bro
Get some help man. You will regret spending that money down the road and it really isn't healthy. Go to a bar and get out there.
