How can you not like Lewis Black? You must hate his politics, because he is high-larious!

Not a very big purchase compared to some of you, but sometime last year I registered about $300 worth of new domains and just a few weeks ago it auto-renewed and I paid another $300.
The domains are worth nothing and I haven't even developed a single one of them. lol

I paid $1500 euros for a 50 minute flight from Malaga Spain to Lisbon Portugal because of idiotic train routes (and I suspect track widths) that would've made that journey a 8 hour trek with a 2 year old who was under the weather.
Then paid another $400 in bag/fuel overages since europeans apparently don't get the concept of taking more than a bag or two when you're traveling with young children for 5 weeks.
Whatever. At least we didn't have to take that fucking train.

Taxi would have probly been like a quarter of that. Add in waiting in line at airport and time taken would have been about the same.
Stupidest thing I ever bought, a good few years ago me and a friend decided to buy a kilo of weed. Cant remember exactly what it cost but it was around the €6000 mark. We had a plan to sell it all off and double our money. Fast forward a few months and we were still incredibly baked and had probly sold about €100 of weed in total.
Reminiscing now but I remember my mom finding the shopping bag full of weed in my room and being totally naive to all drug related things taught it was like a €50 bag and just left it there, she told me about it a few weeks later.
Agreed. Undergrad was the stupidest thing I've spent serious money on. $10k/year for four years. Wish I'd gone to CC for undergrad and then spent good money on grad school.
I think that wins for most ridiculous. Unless you bought it to try and get chicks to your basement, so as to lessen the creepiness factor over how you used to try and get them to your basement... Or not...
layboy_sml:And renting instead would probably have had you "lose" a similar amount of money (depending on where you live). People tend to analyze real estate swings without evaluating what you would have paid in rent. Adding interest, taxes, and insurance change things a bit, but it's not as bad of a loss as it seems, since you would have been throwing away money on a rental anyway.
I rap as a hobby so when the monies started pouring in I decided to buy this:
It's a Neumann U87 which retails at a cool $3200. It's the recording industry standard and pretty much anytime you see an established artist in the studio, it'll be with this mic.
How much do I record? Like once a year because I'm a lazy piece of shit.
And for a while my weed budget was ~ $1500 a month.
