    Have You Ever Made A DUMB Purchase?

    So I come back from the casino the other night up about $700 so I decide to take my winnings and go shopping with my fiance. So she buys a bunch of stuff and I decide to go into Tommy Hilfinger to see what they have.

    I find a great pair of cargo pants and try them on. Awesome fit so I say great, go up to the counter and then the price comes up.... $120!! LOL!

    Being the jackass I am I figure they would be like $50-60 but I didn't look at the tag before I bought them. Anyways I didn't want to look like a cheapskate infront of the clerk and a bunch of other people so I bit my lip and bought them.

    Anyways maybe $120 isn't much to some of you other big spenders but I think it's a bit much for fricking cargo pants. LOL! Anyways everyone at the office was laughing at me today because they heard I bought these expensive pants and was too much of a chicken to tell the clerk I didn't want them.

    Just thought you guys would have a good laugh at my expense!

    DH

    P.S. I am wearing the pants as I type this!!

              Hahaha... I was about to say the same.

              I bought a pair of really ugly, red, wool Lithium pants for $60 or $65. I wore em maybe 3-4 times.

                I bought a leather jacket for $800.

                I've worn it a total of maybe 3 times in 6 years

                I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                    I once bought this really nice suit while I was still going through coop at university. I then lost 50 pounds over one year and so it didn't fit. So I had to go buy a new one. I then started my company and have never had the need to wear it. So I now have 2 suits I never wear and they each went between $400 and $800. Great huh.

                      $800 for a LEATHER jacket is not a big deal to me because I know I will wear it ALOT.

                      But if I lived in Cali or somewhere down south where I might wear it a couple times of year I might be a bit upset.

                          I think $50-60 is my limit on jeans. I could spend $100 and get my use out of them easily, but I just don't see the need. Jeans usually last me 3-5 years easily.

                                    I understand the clerk thing. I wanted a coach wallet and htis guy in front of me was totally freaking out on this briefcase. should he get it or not or too much blah blah blah. So I said I want that one. The fucking thing was $120 for a wallet but I was too much of a chicken shit to give it back and walk after deciding I was going to show up this other guy.... Wow did i show him and her .. DOH!

                                            I have spent thousands of dollars on kitchen related items over the years - pots and pans, Pyrex, bread maker, food processor, mixer, every gadget you can think of. I don't cook I just think it's neat, I buy it, use it once or twice then put it in storage.

                                              Another time a girl scout came to our house selling cookies. She had like 3 boxes left (2 mint, 1 peanut butter). She sighed when I opened the door and I just could imagine the day she had had. So I said I will take all that you got left.

                                              Little did I know she had set down a friggen huge box she was carring to the side of my door before she apparently took out a few boxes and knocked.

                                              I went to go get my wallet and when I came back I saw what I was in store for. I guess she sighed in relief of setting the big box down.

                                                  This isn't a "purchase", but I paid in advance 6 months of GYM for my wife and I and we went for less than 2 weeks. We would get 6 more months free... but all my money went to the crapper

                                                  I paid for our driving lessons too July 2003... we still have to get them (and pay more of course).

                                                    You didn't want to look like a cheap ass in front of peopleyou don't know? Fuck that! I don't care who thinks I'm a cheap ass, I'll put that shit back in a heart beat. Right after I yell, "$120?!" I want them and everyone else around me to know that shit is ridiculously expensive. I'll follow that up with, "FUCK THAT, I'M GOIN TO THE GOODWILL TO DO MY CLOTHES SHOPPIN!"

I wanted a coach wallet and htis guy in front of me was totally freaking out on this briefcase. should he get it or not or too much blah blah blah. So I said I want that one. The fucking thing was $120 for a wallet but I was too much of a chicken shit to give it back and walk after deciding I was going to show up this other guy.... Wow did i show him and her .. DOH!

                                                          You paid your stupid tax for sure!

                                                          I've paid my stupid tax, but never over embarassment.

She sighed when I opened the door and I just could imagine the day she had had. So I said I will take all that you got left.

                                                                  Little did I know she had set down a friggen huge box she was carring to the side of my door before she apparently took out a few boxes and knocked.

                                                                  I went to go get my wallet and when I came back I saw what I was in store for. I guess she sighed in relief of setting the big box down.


                                                                  That sounds like a sales technique. At least you have a big heart though. There's nothing stupid about that.

She sighed when I opened the door and I just could imagine the day she had had. So I said I will take all that you got left.

                                                                            Little did I know she had set down a friggen huge box she was carring to the side of my door before she apparently took out a few boxes and knocked.

                                                                            I went to go get my wallet and when I came back I saw what I was in store for. I guess she sighed in relief of setting the big box down.
                                                                            ouch... how much did she take you for?

                                                                                          The very night that I signed the papers I was sitting there TOTALLY regretting what I bought ( and blew 25k down on)...

                                                                                          10 months later I sold the house, made a few bucks and now im in the perfect house... I was REAL fucking lucky on getting out of a 70,000 fuck up, lol.....

                                                                                          I also did the same shit with the cargo pants, I just laghed and walked outta the store.... Never to return again to mall shopping.
