Purchases you wish you'd never made

After mentioning on another thread I bought a treadmill, on a whim after thinking I'd use it all the time to lose weight but haven't, what purchases (expensive or not) do you wish you'd never made?

 

I bought the box set of Friends - well over £200 in total value - on VHS, shortly before VCR's became redundant technology.

A rowing machine.

 

Took up tons of space and bust my knee the second time I used it. Also the computer was no good and I could row for ages without it really measuring any progress. I sold it for a profit and bought a cross-trainer for a few hundred quid, which is far better and I use for at least an hour a day without ****ing up my knees.

The various gym memberships I have had over the years - work out at about £2 per session in first month rising to £50 per session by month 4.

 

The gym equipment I bought for home when I finally stop renewing the memberhips above - although they are good for draping stuff on them

 

The really expensive trainers purchased because I was going to go road running instead of using the gym equipment, because i didn't like being cooped up in the garage and wanted fresh air instead.

FIFA 12

 

After months of friends telling me I should get back on board with this type of game I decided to go with the peer pressure and invest on launch day. I've played it twice and never gone back to it. The game is beautifully crafted, shows superb attention to detail but I get no thrill from it. £40 wasted.

PGO G-max scooter. Looked the Dogs wotsits (for a scooter), Red and white colour scheme (naturally) and for a 125 went like **** of a shovel (I could get 70mph out of it). Sadly it suffered from carb freeze as soon as the tempreture dipped to around zero and constantly broke down spending more time in the garage than on the road. In the end had to trade it in for some horrible looking gutless Puegot 125 that could barely do 50mph but never broke down.

And I am REALLY happy with my Samsung replacement

 

This was posted as my contribution to this thread so that I would not post about buying the ex a double ended dxxxo and suggesting she invited some friends round.

 

Oh
