What's your most ridiculous purchase. I'm talking about hiring a midget to do the Irish dance, or a $1200, 4-wheel, 4 person bike. (yes, I'm talking about you) Or - hiring 2 dirty hookers at ASW ... :D

Cough up. I bought a $50 plastic anime figurine off Ebay. Shit was made in China and broke in 5 days. I threw it in the garbage. Feels nerdy man.
 


Back when I was 19 and working as a programmer/analyst I actually ordered an entire T-Fal pressure cooker and kitchen set for bout 700$ off TV (followed by my first mac purchase off apple.com of a Powermac G4/733 and 15" Apple Studio display).
 
I actually paid $100+ for an "exclusive" t-shirt.

a fucking TEE shirt.

and $300 for a pair of Red Wings boots I never wore.

I once hired a chauffeur to drive me around and look at real estate for $800 because I was too young to rent a car.

Looking back at it, that was retarded.

I bought over a year ago when I was 18 and stupid. I had around $20k in the bank just sitting there after 1.5 months of work or something and was too dumb to think of investing it or anything. Anyway, bought this baby (14k white gold, 7 diamonds, not sure how many carats they are). It was $3,200 I believe. Anyways, dumb purchase at the time. Don't really wear it, but I don't think I will ever sell it because it means to me the interwebz = money and when you work hard you can have whatever you want.

I raise you all-in. I bought a trained German Shepard from this trainer 1,000 miles away. I told him to spay her before I picked her up. She wasn't really what I expected from a trained GSD, but I assumed that was a function of the surgery. Anyway, after a observing her a while and consulting with a few local trainers, I realized I'd probably been taken. She was really scared of everything and definitely too much for me to deal with. I ended up giving her away to a nice lady who had more time/energy to look after her. $4.5k for the dog, $1k for hotel/gas/incidentals, $x for vet bills, trainer, etc. Stupidest purchase ever.
 
Mimo Monitors - Welcome

I bought two of these. Overnight shipping. On Friday night. Didn't go to my office until a week later.

I wanted to use IRC on this (back then my team and I communicated through IRC) and use my monitor for other stuff. But then I realized that all I did was mostly communicate with IRC so I was using 2 8inch monitors for IRC while I had a 24 inch just idling.

Fucking dumbass.

Oh wait, I blocked this one out: back in 1999/2000 I got a WorldCom/UUNet T1 line for my home internet connection. It was $1,500-ish a month and replaced my 7.1Mbps ADSL. I don't know what I was thinking other than a tier-1 T1 line was 133t. *idiot*
