discussion Have you ever wasted money on something you only used once or never used?

[Zireaelehy]

Three months ago I setup my PC after a year saving the money, a 4080 super and a 7800x3d, used it one week and now it's collecting dust. The desire to have and the boredom of possessing...

 

[Vidilo]

Not really. But I did back some kickstarters where I didn't really use the product, just because I thought it was a good idea.

 

[Annettemaru]

Ugh, yes....
Laser hair removal wand
Craft table (still in box)
shower head with filter
Also, a Rose toy....Hitachi massager has that one beat

Cheap headphones that had the wrong port.

And the Batman Arkham trylogy, should really get around to playing them

 

[xatfx]

Unfortunately too often

 

[duckydoodoo]

i wouldnt call hookers a waste of money so no

 

[SPECTRO]

Yes, sadly.

Im guilty of that, first never buy something when your horny, I have bought more than enough stuff like subscripsion and similar of stuff that I saw and want to fap to that and it wasnt worth it, apart of that I bought a lot of TTRPG manuals that I never have the oportunity to use or even finish reading. For now Im trying to pirate must of the stuff if possible and only buying somthing when I want to support the creator.

I got the HTC Vive when it first came out now it just sits in my closet collecting dust

 

[Karamchad]

That can be a great "your mom" joke.

Not necessarily porn related but definitely can be, I was at least horny motivated with my purchases. But in essence have you ever went out of your way to spend money on something that you thought you would get a whole lot of use out of and then never used or used only once or the novelty instantly wore off?
The list of things I have is rather long but two ones of note were:

• A VR headset to play porn games on (the list of good games in VR ran out rather fast I found, that and I had little room to play it)
• An expensive drawing tablet to learn to draw smut and is still in it's original packaging.

But if I were to mention non horny related things they would also be:

• A full 3D tracking rig (also for VR but for animation) I have plugged them in and setup the software and not used them in over a year.
• A digital keyboard to learn piano with which is now a clothes rack.
• A 3D printer to print and paint various things that I never actually thought about until it arrived.

One of my biggest forms of procrastination is to research the hell out of some hobby, figure out and acquire the 'best' tools for that hobby, and then promptly lose interest.

Yeah, a damn treadmill

Anybody who ever bought a condom. I hope.

Thanks! I wondered who bought that...

 

[sXtnZa]

A kind of pocket pussy or a Fleshlight. The ad was promising, but no—totally useless. Plus, now I keep getting ads and suggestions... I wouldn’t recommend it.

icecream scoop

Raycon earbuds.

They don't fit me and fell out as I walked.

 

[setzer]

Yeah, a damn treadmill

Bought one last month.... used it once.

 

[itisjj]

Not too much stuff, surprisingly, at best one of those VR goggles you put your phone inside.

 

[sieunhangao]

my gaming laptop is gathering dust, after I built my 2nd pc, total waste of money, should've bought a cheap and light laptop instead

 

[ChaosLoli]

I have so many rules for myself to avoid spending money on things like this.
