Some black shoes that are ugly and I hate. Since I bought them I feel like I need to wear them. Even though they are ugly and I hate them.
Did I mention they are ugly and I hate them?

To reactivate it, how many parts liquid water do you need to add?

I saved a bit of money by buying the generic brand of powdered water, and it did not come with any directions:notamused:
A wheelset (plus cassette and tires) that it turns out I can't really use.

Sell it to UA. Tell him it is a clutch for a 75 350

My wife and I went out to dinner for our anniversary and spent about $80 over our budget for the meal. And it was my idea (totally unheard of). :)

Cat toys. They never play with them. Their favorite toy is an old piece of rope.

Totally cute shoes...that don't fit. I mean, it was in my size, but when I actually walked in them it was horrible, as it turns out the sizing runs a wee bit small. Damn it. They were *really* cute.

A Camp Rock dry erase board and Dora the Explorer arm floaters. I have no kids but bought them to give away. Both were 25c at Target.

Stupid crappy pizza. I can make better pizza than that crap, thanks.

sure, but in my experience all it does is make my farts visibile.
A dozen new spokes for the rear wheel on my mtn bike. Which just broke another one yesterday afternoon. On the rear wheel. Which was one of the new ones I just put in.

Another really dumb thing I bought the other day was a really awful cappuccino from the Coffee Beanery. I should have gotten a cafe carmel instead. :notamused:

Everyone, and I mean everyone needs a spare bike or nine, with their attendant soft and hardware. So I fail to see your points about extra pedals or bags. :innocent:
My entry is two sets of NOS tubular box-section rims. They were cheap, I have some spare hubs, and I'm pretty good with a spoke wrench, but I know I'll never ever go back to gluing tires.

Either fixing the bumper on my car (after smashing it up twice) or that stupid trip to urgent care (where they told me what I already knew).

The 20-cent beer I bought tonight. The guy in the store warned me it was bad (buy Budweiser instead, he said), but wow.

Office Max had a special: buy 100 CD jewel cases, get another 100 for one cent.
What the heck am I going to do with all those cases??

Skateboard. A nice one spent $130. Used it at the park once, and realized I don't like skateboarding as much as riding a bmx anymore. Could have been $130 towards race parts or nationals. :(

What brand was it? If it's worse than Budweiser then you'll have to warn everyone so we don't accidentally buy it.
A pair of cleats at full MSRP.
