I once plunked a twoonie into one of those vending machines that sell the plastic capsules containing nhl stickers and I got the stinkin' oilers! I was devastated and wanted to set fire to the machine but the wife wouldn't let me. I threw the stickers into the garbage immediately so as to avoid contamination.
I`d have given you ten bucks for the Oilers`one.
Not that I did this, but how about Nortel stock at $124.50.
I hope that means I will end up with Colin Firth someday.
I didn't mean it in a bad way at all. You just seem like a nice girl who ends up in these hilariously weird/unfortunate situations. It gives me a chuckle
And yes, I've seen Bridget Jones... but it was with my girlfriend and I didn't laugh.
Might not be my worst purchase ever, but it's the one that first sprang to mind. I bought these leg waxing strips, that advertised being 100% painfree. I gave them a try, I used it one time, one strip. It was horrendously painful, I had a big red mark on my leg for weeks afterwards. It was brutal. I should have known there was no way for wax strips to be painfree.
Reminds me of a device my ex had. It was shaped like a razor, but it was a bent spring that you run over your body hair instead. The spring coil would grab hairs and rip them out from the root, similar to waxing.
I think she used it once before throwing it in the garbage..lol.

Damn my overactive imagination

Yeah, there's all kinds of hair removal systems for women that are just ridiculous. I remember one that came out while I was in high school, it was basically electrified tweezers. You would touch the hair for a few seconds and it would painlessly come out.
My friend bought it and tried it, and it did nothing at all... so I guess in the end, it was painless. Even if it did work though, you figure that would take a lifetime to use, given it removes one hair at a time.
I just keep on trying them though, hoping that one day... Like that glove that has "super fine crystals" on it, you rub it over the hair and it painlessly comes off. It's sandpaper, sandpaper on a pretty pink glove. That's gotta be painless and effective, right?
I was behind an elderly lady in Safeway one time buying condoms, and the guy behind me also had a box. I went through the till after the old lady and as I was paying for my condoms glanced at her. She made eye contact, looked at me angrily, and said "Sinner!". I've never been so shocked in my life.
I looked at the guy behind me and he just shrugged with a smile.
Worst purchase though has to be my guitar. I never use the damn thing.

My worst purchase was a 1979 Buick Skyhawk I bought from my sister for $500 in 1994. I bought it with bad brakes, replaced every single component in the braking system from the master cylinder down to the brake pads with a buddy and never got the damn air out of the brake lines. Ended up giving the thing away six months later after never driving it and dropping a bunch of cash down a hole to (not) fix it.

I sometimes think that's how my electric razor works on my neck!

Shorty headers for my Mustang. I just got a whole new performance exhaust system, but I couldnt afford the Long-Tubes, so I cheaped out and got a pair of shorties. They were ridiculously difficult to match up to my Y-Pipe and I eventually gave up, sh1tcanned them and bought the long-tubes with money I didnt have.
Goddamn worthless crap.

Honestly I would loved to have been you right then.. That bitch would still be praying for my soul after I knocked her down 100 pegs.

you should have walked towards her opening the box and undoing your pants with a big smile on your face

Shure e2c in-ear headphones. Yes, they do shut out outside noise really well. But for $70, they didn't sound much better than cheapo earbuds. Also, they hurt unbelievably bad after 15 minutes. They take discomfort to a whole new level.

I still have rear spring isolators, an A/C delete kit, and spare headlight and taillight modules for my 89 mustang. I also have a box with probably 3 or 4 turn signal modules after my car when through 1 every month or so. Sold that car 4 years ago.. lol

I still have my car, mods and all, but I haven't touched it in almost 2 years. It works more or less fine, still needs a little work here and there, but I just stopped being able to justify the ridiculous sums of money and hours that I spent on it.
There were days in the summer when I was sitting around drinking with friends and I thought to myself:
"Last year, I'd be in my garage working like a slave on that car and totally broke right now, instead of chilling out and having fun. What a ridiculous hobby."
I'm sure I'll get back into it at some point, I might even have it up and running this summer, if I feel like it. I dont know yet.
