My insane buyers remorse story

LOL.

I wonder how much time and money this took, altogether... This is including gas, the drive there and back.. Wow.

This is way worse than buyers remorse.

You have some serious issues... how many times have you married? Just wondering.

"Wife # 1: So, I thought I had found the woman of my dreams. Excellent build, she runs every day and knows how to put the goods on display. I get her home and after a few weeks I found we had compatibility issues. To make matters worse, she can't cook! What kind of wife can't cook? I promptly return her to her family and make my apologies.

Wife # 2: Had to drive to the other side of town for every date but this was the one. No compatibility issues, not as good looking but cute in her own way, which gave me piece of mind because then guys wouldn't be drooling all over my new choice all the time. Got her home and she refuses to put out unless she's on her period. You cannot be serious. I know as a man sometimes we have to sail the red seas but this is ridiculous. I try to take her into the hospital to see if they can fix this glitch but they have nothing on her. Called up her folks and paid the requisite $20 for them to pick her up and send her back.

Wife # 3: I promise my parents this is the last one. They're looking at me like I'm nuts. "What was wrong with #1? You could have just paid for cooking classes!" I know, I should have kept her but it's too late now. This time I find the girl online, everything looks great, good reviews, I just have to pay for S&H for her to be sent from Russia. She gets here and is a wreck. Her pics were completely photoshopped, I mean heinously deceptive. And the kicker? She has a virus. I have trouble starting her from sleep mode and her rear camera has this weird burning ring around it.

What do you guys think I should do?"
 
You need to stop being so compulsive with your buying habits or stop being so OCD about your computer. Maybe both either way your making my computers more expensive and I'm a student so I can't afford this crap to begin with!

Holy **** that is amazing. I think exchanging 9 or 10 laptops is on par if not worse then going through that many wifes you swore "were the one" lmao...
 
i guess this is what happens when you are selfish and give your family your old computer.

karma at its finest
 
Never ever had buyer's remorse in my life. Always researched all electronics for month or two before actual buying. Saves plenty of hassle and headache.
 
I personally don't think you're insane (because if I kept getting machines that I wasn't satisfied with/didn't work, you can bet I would return them too...it's my money, I want to be happy with my purchase), I just think you're extremely impulsive and in many ways, ignorant. You could have easily avoided this entire mess (save for the machine with the "dead" hard drive) if you did some research online about what to buy. Going to the store and doing your research/shopping there is what leads to these stories. No one there is going to tell you about things like crappy speakers or limited wireless. That's what sites like newegg and amazon are for. Never underestimate the power of fellow user's reviews - in my experience, they are the number one deciding factor in my purchases.

Also, the MBP should have been your first choice, but again, you would have needed to do the research about your work needs and device compatibility, as the transition from PC->Mac and Windows->OS X is pretty big.

Either way, hopefully next time you do the work beforehand to minimize your suffering later on. I'm glad you're finally happy though!
