What are some purchases that you have made by impulse and regret to this day?
I'd like to know if i'm not the only person who has this horrible problem D:
I personally have some basketball sneakers that I regret buying, such as a some gamma blue jordan 11's that are in decent shape but used. I regret it mainly because I don't really wear them and make much use of them, and I feel like someone could have made a better use of them.

i went to college for film. and we had several projects ongoing at once and really long like 12-14 hour shoot days. so we were always really tired. toward the end of the semester, after an all-nighter, for some reason i bought a pocket english<->german dictionary from the campus book store

Alright story time.

So when I was 18, this was beyond the statute of limitations btw so I feel fully secure in telling this, I was in a school program pretty similar to Jeopardy! essentially trivia teams. So anyhow, these things would go on til' pretty late at night (prizes were scholarship money so you had a reason to want to win), and you would have to wait until your subject was called, so we started playing poker to pass the time . It lead to us playing poker for lunch money during school. Eventually I got pretty good at it. So, we go to one of these trivia meets, and I hear from a friend, who was particularly taken with the aforementioned game, that there was an illicit (gambling is mostly illegal in my state) poker game being played at this old chuck e. cheese type establishment (since torn down and gone), and wanted to know if I'd go with him.

So, I did. Stopped at the ATM, took out some of my land-fill money, and determined that I would play pretty aggressively as I was given to understand that most of the people there would also be young and likely not of the money having pursuasion. We played until 1:30 A.M. on a school night, and I walked out of there with 354 more dollars than I started with. So, what is a young fella' to do with a cool 350? Well, of course, you skip on down to wal-mart, buy an x-box (they had just come out around 2 years prior or so so it wasn't top price) and a few games, and then declare yourself too sick to go to school for a few days and invite your friends over to play hooky too.

It was a solid few days, but then I virtually never touched the thing again :( I still regretfully look at it from time to time when I clean, never had the heart to get rid of it.

My Wii broke so I bought one on Craigslist and took the metro across town to pick it up so I could play rock band 2 with my friends for one night

It was a good deal and a fun night, so even though I haven't touched it since I have few regrets

I spent 2k on a macbook pro instead of building a beast computer, biggest regret of my life I hate macOS. Now I’m stuck trying to sell this thing so I can build a pc.

I pre-ordered Fallout 4 on steam. Not only could I not get the game to run on two different pc's, but I couldn't get it refunded due to a technicality. I knew I should've waited but felt confident and bought the game early anyway. Unfortunate $60 I'm not getting back.

Biggest kick in the dick about the transaction was that the game ended up being underwhelming as well, especially for a $60 game.
