What is the funniest impulse purchase you’ve made/seen someone you know make? - Lemmy.ca

I bought a safe. wtf do I need a safe for?

I bought an electronic whiteboard for like 10k

It arrived without a stand (it had a stand in the photo, but the small print said it was sold separately).

But why
ADHD
Understandable, did you get any use out of it though?
Nah sent it back due to the lack of stand. Settled on an eco show 15 and a big analog whiteboard
Just for 99.99% of people - even with ADHD - that price is outside impulse buy territory

Wanted a big calendar and board to sketch ideas and stuff (I was making $40k/month at the time - Covid bull run).

Sent it back because I was annoyed at the lack of stand.

The most expensive thing I bought on ADHD-fueled impulse was a $2500 portable radio transceiver. I should probably sell the thing but eh.

Funny thing is it normally comes as a kit you have to assemble, and I paid extra to have it assembled. And it feels like a hand-assembled product, that is, not at all something you could toss around. But it’s supposed to be something you stick in a backpack and hike up a mountain with. I got a battery module for it, but you have to remove some screws and crack that chassis open like a clam every time you want to do anything with the batteries.

I also bought the iambic paddle (the thing sticking out the bottom).

It’s got the ergonomics of a scientific calculator from the 80s.

And what did the stand cost you
