Haha... I'd have loved to be in that situation as well. I'd probably say something like "Yes, ma'am. I'll be sinning alllll night long!".

07 GMC Dirtymax with 250hp bump.. Should be roughly 600hp at the flywheel.. Good for a 14.5 at race city.. Weighs in at a paltry 7400 lbs..

speaking of cars, my worst non-purchase was a 69 Chevelle SS 396 back when I was about 20. I'd probably have ended up in jail or something but it sure would have been a fun ride.

The guy wanted $500 more than I had and wouldn't budge. Should have asked my Dad. #$%!

396 is my favorite chevy motor.. They are bulletproof and rediculously fast.

I actually don't mind the stuff, but I hate the bottle with a freakin' passion. It's impossible to get the last half of it out of the bottle without cracking it open and fishing it out with toothpicks or something.

I've been more comfortable buying female products for my wife, than condoms for... well... my wife.

I heard a story about a guy I went to school with who worked at a CO-OP as a bagger. He's doing his job when a box of pads come his way. For whatever reason this triggered the small talk trigger in his head. I wasn't there, so I don't know if this is word for word, but the story goes that he said something along the lines of "so, that time of the month, is it?".

Pretty sure he got fired.

I don't know what my worst purchase is just yet. Still thinking about the bad ones...

Neither really bother me too much. Meh, they're just part of life, nothing to be embarrassed about.

[jammies]

I like to grin and wiggle my eyebrows when I buy condoms. I figure the cashier will get to go home and say, "There was the CREEPIEST guy in line today..."

Worst purchase I ever made was a Mac mini. I had a client who had a bunch of Macs in the office and I figured I should learn something about them. Then they decided to get rid of the Macs the very next week and replace them all with PCs.

I spent $1200 on a video camera a few years back, and I've never used it. Well, except for that one time I got loaded and tried to film my ex naked, which totally didn't work.

So yeah, I've turned it on once and got shouted at. GOOOOOOOOD PURCHASE!!!!!

Nm. That was an angry child support conversation talking.

To be fair, I don't relish in being a jerk. It just kinda happens. Was making a misguided attempt at avoiding that. I've reconsidered.

Original post:

I'll be the only bitter guy. Worst purchase ever? Wedding ring.

Right around when I turned 18 I was in a car stereo shop. Fast talking sales guy had me set up with a new amp and speakers, and all of it was going to be financed. "Don't worry- you'll be approved. No problem!" he said.

The application was going to take a couple of days, so just so I could take the gear home, he took an imprint of my Visa card. He said it was just for security, and don't worry you'll be approved. And if not, you can bring everything back!

So, I was not approved. Went to take the stuff back, and the manager wouldn't take it back seeing as it was all out of the packaging. (Why would I want to take it home if I couldn't try it out?)

What makes this the worst, not only did I get suckered into spending about $800 on maybe $400 worth of gear, the charge was going through on my dad's credit card; the one that he gave me a copy of to use "if there is an extreme emergency."

Gateway Midtown....worst decision of my life.

Streetside's Blue Sky. What a bunch of crooks.

One of those sleeves you use for alone time that are supposed to feel like the real thing, they don't!

[burn_this_city]

On second thought.. I dont wanna know.

That's because you know that they know where your purchase will end up.

I just don't like the oily feel to it. Clinique makes a nice one and so does Dior. I have a brand new bottle of the Smashbox if you want it !
