re: How Often Does Someone In Your Household Buy Something That Never Gets Used?

It would make you throw up how much stuff I have like this. Clothes that never get worn, tools that I buy for one project, car detail supplies I use once, etc etc

Same here. I was out in the front barn which really is more used for storage than anything else and all the shite in there. There's a damn air hockey table I bought a couple years ago, the wife had to have it, for the kids, it got played once I think and then set in the basement until I moved it to the barn. And so on and so forth.

Is this a once in awhile thing or a "all the time" thing?

Fortunately for my wallet, she doesn't always do the household grocery shopping.
But, virtually every time she does, she buys way too much, many times it's perishable.
Additionally, she may buy a bunch of cans of shite like artichoke hearts, that do have a shelf life because she heard about some recipe she wants to try.
Only that she'll never end up making the meal and I end up donating dozens of cans of Yams and kidney beans to some Feed the Hungry drive.

Last name I came across a converter box, to convert your tv into a smart TV, I bought several years ago. I hooked it up once, played around with it for a little while and I unhooked it for some reason, put it back in the box for the time being and.. Well, it has been in the back of a shelf, just taking up space since...

The only thing I can think of that gets wasted at my house, is coke. I like to have a coke with dinner and I like it in a can, but I don't like to drink the whole thing (I consider it my smoking. I know there are a lot of other things to drink that are better for you, but I like to drink it with dinner). I will drink about a half of can.

So every 12 days I waste about 72 fl oz of coke.

the wife will $100 worth of perishable fruits and vegetables at the grocery all at one time, only to have to throw away 75% of it after it rots.

Yep...same here.

Don't you just hate that. Saturday name I was cleaning out an old closet and came across an OG Apple TV and the first version of the Roku, to make your TV smart before TV was smart, that I used about 10 years ago. I hooked them up played with them a bit, the Roku was unusable with the old Netflix app and the Apple TV never completed booting up so I unhooked them, put them back in the box for the time being and.. Their just back in the closet taking up space since...

Even your "bad habits" are lame af.

But truthfully, I admire the way you return to the OT every day knowing everyone is going to shite on you.

You're either brave or stupid and I have a feeling that I know which one you are.
