What is the most useless thing you have ever wasted money on?

[TheMajesticKing777]

And follow up question, how much did you waste lol

[TrueConfection]

Sheesh... I've made some poor spending choices in my time, it's hard to identify which was the worst.

I bought a boat once (for dirt cheap) thinking we would use it because my husband and I both love to sail. I finally gave it away after watching it rot for 5 years. I didn't lose much money, but it was a knucklehead purchase.

I once WAY overpaid for amazing seats to a concert for my husband's birthday. It was a great concert and I don't have any regrets, but I wouldn't spend that kind of money on concert tickets now (I don't know what I was thinking). The concert was amazing as were the seats, but the price was in the thousands. 🤦

An ex-boyfriend is such a waste of time and money. Helping him out to get his car fixed and other things he should of been good enough to do himself. Nothing too major though, just a few thousand dollars.

[TheMajesticKing777]

That sounds pretty major in my opinion, those could've been a few thousand you could've used on yourself

[Aerissa_Jade]

yeah and it was suppose to be a loan, not a gift but whatever.

[TheMajesticKing777]

No then you should claim your loan

I once bought a very expensive pair of work boots that seemed fine at first, but after wearing them a week, the seams and ridges under the inner sole wore through, and it was painful to wear them. I tried some aftermarket inner soles, but it didn't help for long, and I ended up tossing them. They should have lasted for years, but I didn't even keep them 3 weeks.

I ended up buying some cheaper boots and wore them for about 3 years almost daily.

[TheMajesticKing777]

That sucks no lie

[MrOracle]

Yeah. And unfortunately, because I have extra-wide feet, I have to special order footwear from the few places that make it in my size, and as is common with special orders, you can't return them.

[TheMajesticKing777]

So you order online?

[MrOracle]

Yes. Try to find a 10.5 in EEEE width in any store...

[TheMajesticKing777]

That's not happening lol

[Ευδεμονια]

I spend almost 160€ (170$) for this useless but beautiful wooden chessboard. It’s good for collecting dust but I think it’s very pleasing for sight.

[TheMajesticKing777]

So you don't even play chess? Lol

[Ευδεμονια]

I play sometimes but every chessboard is ok to play, it’s pretty useless to buy a 160€ one to play once in a while! But NOTHING will make me regret my choice.

[TheMajesticKing777]

It's got a different design at least, you should see it's worth online and see if it's at least worth a bit more now

[Ευδεμονια]

No, are you mad? I won’t sell this chessboard! Now that I have it, I have to build my house around it.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Don't tell me you are the type of person that plays chess at a party 🤣

[Ευδεμονια]

No, absolutely, but I would organise a party to let all see my useless pricey and wooden chessboard 😂

[KostasKouvalis]

A set of vintage coins. They cost 30 something dollars at the local pawn shop. I wanted to buy them just for the experience, and the guy wouldn't even haggle with me. I later ended up finding the same exact coin set online in much better condition, for $5. I ended up throwing them away. Fucking asshole. I am never doing business at a pawn shop again. Those TV shows are a lie

[TheMajesticKing777]

Lmao damn that's fucked up 😂

[Anonymous]

I bought these clear stripper heels on sale for like $80 LOL!! I can't walk in them. So I just put them on while my feet are in air if you're getting what I'm saying

[TheMajesticKing777]

Okay so they aren't completely useless cause you still use them lol

[Opinion Owner]

I wore them twice and got them maybe 1 year ago they are useless lol

[TheMajesticKing777]

Oh okay then they are, fair enough 🤣

[jshm2]

A Ford Mustang.

I had it imported from the US for about $80k new about 10 years ago.

It was a fucking horrible car, and ended up giving it back after a month. Took a 20k loos on the fucker as well. Never bought any of that American shit again.

Even the car I only bought because I liked the colour, and was dubious about the quality.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Shit happens lol

[MCheetah]

A year-long gym membership RIGHT when COVID started; like in February 2020. About $300.

A new computer right before I got hired to teach in Korea. It wasn't a laptop, so I couldn't take it with me. About $550.

[_deeznuts]

I got my ex a second hand truck for like 30,000. A week later this dick broke up with me.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Why would you do that, you should only fo things that big when you are married lowkey

[_deeznuts]

i know it was really stupid

he was always complaining how he didn't have a car

[TheMajesticKing777]

You couldn't get him a cheap one like for 3k or 4k lol

[_deeznuts]

i could've, but i felt the need to get him a truck bcs he had always wanted one.

bro i want to take it back so bad

[TheMajesticKing777]

You know there's trucks for as low as 2k right? They might not last long but still, they exist

[TheMajesticKing777]

Wait who's name is on the title? 🤔

[_deeznuts]

the trucks that run for 2k dont even run, or they are missing lots of parts. they also had really high mileage. His name is on the title.

[TheMajesticKing777]

That sucks, we'll learn from the mistake I guess

[_deeznuts]

i hope so lol

[dustybiker]

You let him walk? You realize that in most US states that’s twice the amount of maximum suing limit in “small” claims court. Tell him you want the money back or the truck.

[_deeznuts]

@dustybiker ik ik I was really stupid. This was 2 years ago though, I don't have his contacta anymore. I'm financially stable so idrc but I'm still salty at it

[Iron_Man]

Unbelievable I would ask for the truck back he did that on purpose

[Blackcosmo]

Buying a bunch of blizzards for me and my family, which cost me $30 when I could've just done the same thing with a $5 pot of ice cream.

[Apulu_Imback]

No, at least I don't remember requesting my parents to buy for something useless. Maybe I did when I was a toddler but after that I didn't.

[LordOfThePines]

Saturn ion 2. $5,000 scam. Transmission died not even 2 months in, guy who sold it to me was no longer able to be contacted and I couldn't afford to fix it. So I had to have it junked.

[genericname85]

[Anonymous]

I got really excited to try a seasonal crafting project. Spent like $120 on supplies. Used 2% of it, the rest sits in a bin. I regret all.

[Anonymous]

Tool bench I had for a few months and never used. $200

[TheMajesticKing777]

You can't sell it?

[Opinion Owner]

I didn't want to try.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Fair enough

[jamesgoldman]

Cashflow 101, spent £80 on it

Got it out once and it's such a headache to understand that even as a numbers guys said fuck it and put it back on the shelf

[TheMajesticKing777]

Why is it so expensive tho? It's the board game?

[jamesgoldman]

High demand and relatively low supply , classic market forces

[TrueConfection]

I love that game!!!

[OddBeMe]

Aside from paying double for groceries just so i dont have to step foot in a grocery store…

Prob hundreds of impulse buys over the years.

[belle_kai]

My ex, several hundred maybe over 1k

[TheMajesticKing777]

Damn why?

[belle_kai]

Why was it useless or why did I spend that money? Lol

[TheMajesticKing777]

I know why it's useless, why you spend it, like on what 😂

[belle_kai]

Nice clothes and little trips, he did the same for me but all in all it was useless lol

[TheMajesticKing777]

Yea but at least he did it back I guess but who wasted more

[belle_kai]

Him, but not a massive difference. It works both ways. Not to get deep but if a man constantly spoils a woman and its one sided the man could have a sense of control. I also feel that if its one sided, people will stay with a person despite how they are treated because of money and gifts

[TheMajesticKing777]

Well yea I think both of y'all should've kept your money

[belle_kai]

In hindsight, yes

[TheMajesticKing777]

Well thanks for sharing I guess 🙃

[NathanDavis]

[TheMajesticKing777]

I purchased an iPad and never use it, so I gave it to my cousin.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Why?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@themajesticking777 Being Bipolar caused me to do this, you would not believe how
many cell phones I purchased also purchased so many Laptop computers yes
I bought these things on impulse.

[TheMajesticKing777]

Damn foreal

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@themajesticking777 Yes, I'm serious

[TheMajesticKing777]

So you just buy stuff and change your mind about it, why not just return it

[RavVid]

Never have. I have always thought out my purchase decisions.

[jimmy2]

I bought a carbator for my truck I screw the whole thing up and had to take it to a shop where 600 went to 2,000

[Better_off_here]

a first date with a woman who never called me again :(

[FunkyMonkee]

Probably a lawyer that didn't do shit for me!! I'd say he took me for at least $36,000.

[Iron_Man]

[TheMajesticKing777]

Oh that makes sense

[Freyke]
