i've bought several pairs of crappy shoes because they were on sale. you know you fukd up when you have to tell people they were on sale, or else theyre like 'whyd you buy that ugly sh!t?'
i have a massive wardrobe, that hasnt moved from the hanger in years. some of them ive never even tried on outside the store. out of all the cool, stylish, clubbing clothes ive bought, my trademarked outfit is a jizz-stained, sweaty and faded black tracksuit. in 1 year i probably spent nearly 1k on fancy clothes, none of which was put to use, aside from socks and underwear.
i have a library full of books i bought on a whim, because the information COULD CHANGE MY LIFE. when it arrived 1 week later i just threw it in the pile. i use to have an obsession with psychology, philosophy, nlp, all that crap. by the time i came to my senses, i was about 500$ poorer. im going to be selling them soon at <25% the cost, brand new. the 2nd worst book i ever bought was The Game, it was 30$ for a collection of lies and false hope. the worst book i bought was about mental magic, it cost 30$. in my retarded state, i thought learning magic tricks could get me a girlfriend.
backbreaker, don't be hard on yourself, the attractive saleswoman trick has been around forever. jewelry stores are full of models who know notihng about jewelry, TV is full of hot sports anchors who know nothing about sports. the only way to counter it is to simply not enter the store, but if you MUST, consider jerking off before you go. your mind will be crystal clear.
