I make a lot of stupid purchases. When I was 14, I bought a remote control build-yer-own wooden boat. I spent weeks working on it and only finished the hull. At 15, it was Christian music and t-shirts. My most shameful was at 17, when I purchased Nads and then couldn’t “bare” the pain and had to buy Epil Stop to finish the job. Last year, I bought a hiking backpack and the domain names notonmyspace.com and imnotonmyspace.com. Most recently, I’ve purchased Diesel Jeans in the wrong size and dinner for my blind date.
Every one of those purchases seemed like a good idea at the time (excluding the jeans and date). Now, with the power of the Internet, I’ve increased the frequency of my bad purchases with 1-click shopping. And so goes what I’m sure will be my newest waste of money:
Thanks to Jason for the link. If all goes as planned, I’ll be documenting the sweet “free” Valley Schwag I get each month.
i totally remember when u bought those nads and u had to have your mommy use it on u. thx for the jeans!
Man, I hope that the sweet Valley Schwag doesn’t make it to the ‘stupid purchases’ list… I might just have to share your aswesome Nads story with the rest of the office on monday.
The whole story of the Nads purchase is actually pretty funny. I don’t think I’ve ever posted about it, but it should be on here. It was a huge debacle that lasted several hours. I’m glad bruce was able to witness it, because it would have been a shame not to have anyone watch that whole thing.
