I thought I bought a talking pet collar for my cat. Turns out I bought a prank gift box for 25$. Gotta tell my cats I've been scammed once again.

I was 11 and my dad gave me 50 bucks to spend at the mall. So, I wandered into a gift shop and spent it all on an electronic vibrating oinking pink pig. I never played with it after I brought it home.

I’d had a few drinks and wandered into a Williams Sonoma store in a state of euphoria. There I saw a special edition Kitchen-aide stand mixer, in bronze, that was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. It was on sale for $999. Naturally, I bought it, but because I’m a single guy who doesn’t bake, now it’s just taking up much needed counter space.

I once bought my girlfriend a hat and had her name embroidered on it. She asked me if I would ever wear a shirt with my name on it. I would not.

I spent $40 one of those amusement park booths where you had to throw darts at balloons. For some reason, I picked out this really ugly 7ft tall frog stuffed animal. It’s in the corner of my closet and still scares me when I’m half awake in the morning.

My mom still remembers how she ordered me this prom dress for $250 and it left us heartbroken.

I was at the Russian exhibit at Expo '86. My parents gave me a $20 bill and said spend $10. I bought $20 worth of Russian newspapers. To this day, I still don't know what I was thinking.

I once went to a novelty/thrift shop that had a ton of random stuff. I ended up spending $10 on a framed picture of Count Dooku, Darth Sidious and Jango Fett from Star Wars since my girlfriend thought it was funny. The frame recently broke and I found out after seeing the back of the picture that it was from a calendar when Attack of the Clones came out. Someone just cut this picture out of an old calendar, put it in a frame and I voluntarily spent $10 on it.

I thought the dimensions were much larger. At least my dog can take a magic carpet ride.

When I was like 14, I bought a pack of intentionally mismatched socks that were really expensive. Like, only one of each pattern. I could have bought twice as many normal socks and just mismatched them myself.

This year, I paid $60 at a thrift store for a Shrek action figure wearing a Nascar racing suit.

I just spent $250 on the 1989 Batmobile Lego set. It arrived today. Part of me is excited to build it. However, the other side just thinks, "what are you doing, you're a 27-year-old man spending money on Legos". But I'm still excited to build it tomorrow.

When I went on a school field trip to Washington DC back in middle school, I bought a $2 bill at a souvenir shop for $20.

This past Christmas Eve I was doing some last-minute shopping and came across a wine glass shaped like Buddy from the movie 'Elf', which of course also had Will Ferell's face on it. With everything kinda being out of order with the holiday rush, I didn't know how much it cost, but I bought it on pure impulse because I thought it was funny. It wasn't until I left the store and looked at the receipt that I realize that it cost 22 dollars, which is way more than it's worth. To remind me of my mistake, I now drink out of that glass exclusively and have been for the past 5 months, I have to wash it like twice a day but I won't stop using it until I feel like I've gotten my 22 dollars worth.
