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