What's the most useless thing you've ever purchased?

[hogmog]

To be honest...

I know many would disagree - and feel free to. This is just my perspective.

My age has dumfounded me trying to get thumbnail of Big-TDI-Guy's picture of Leopard in here. Anyway, I agree, I should not have bought Leopard or then gone on to install 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 in the vein hope that things would get better - Tiger will be born again soon.

On another note regret having bought a house in 1988 at the peak of the property boom in the UK and then being lumbered with it until 2002 when I eventually managed to sell it for the price I paid for it! I had not lived in it since 1989 when my job moved. I sense a bit of deja vue.

He eats.. He poops.. He sleeps... He's like 120lbs of lazy... but I love him

Haha! I've never actually seen those things in real life, but remember watching the info-merical and thinking that it had to be too good to be true. And so it is! What were they, the equivilant of $30 for two sets? And how did they manage to give the amazing demonstration if they actually were a waste of time?

It was something like "Only £19.99! But wait! Order with your credit card and receive TWO SETS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!"

Xbox360 HD DVD add-on.

Ouch

My wife purchased a treadmill to run on.

I told her it was going to be a fabulous clothes drying rack.

She insisted it wouldn't.

I was right.

Insurance.

For what though?

On a phone? Yup, that's a waste.

On your life/property/health/car? Quite the deal.
