People Share Their Biggest 'Buyer Beware' Regrets That Were Too Late To Undo
[rebelmouse-image 18356379 is_animated_gif=Buyer's remorse. Most of us have experienced it at some time or another. You're sure you've made a great purchase, until...
Reddit user zerothwq asked "What's something you regretted buying as soon as you walked out of the store?"
Here are the responses.
Uncomfortable Potato
[rebelmouse-image 18356380 is_animated_gif=A mediocre couch I bought on sale.
There are many things to compromise price on, but you're gonna spend a lot of time on your couch, so make sure it's quality.
Rocky Purchase
[rebelmouse-image 18346728 is_animated_gif=I was at a music festival and a couple kids asked if I wanted to buy a rock (it was a nice rock tbh) and that I would be their first customer! So me, being nice said I would love to! They charged me $3 and I walked away happy with my new souvenir. Then, I heard them say to the people behind me, "do you want to buy a rock? You'll be our first customer"
I was so mad and impressed at the same time. 6 years later I still carry the rock in my purse.
I'm Not Worthy
[rebelmouse-image 18356381 is_animated_gif=Half of my clothes.
I always overthink buying clothes and most of the time I feel guilty the second I pay for them. I usually recover from it in a couple days.
Supersize Me
[rebelmouse-image 18356382 is_animated_gif=Fast Food
It's just so damn convenient and cheap, and i know its terrible for me.
I Am Noisy
[rebelmouse-image 18356383 is_animated_gif=A $12 dancing Groot. He was voice activated and would wiggle every time a sound was made. I regretted it because it was a rejected Christmas gift. The recipient met me outside of the WalMart and made a face when I showed them.
'what did you buy THAT for?'
Jokes on them I guess. I kept my Groot in the kitchen. He loved high pitched noises especially so he would dance while you did dishes. His gears were crappy though so you could hear them grinding every time he moved.
He also played Jackson 5 'I want you back' and danced to that when you pressed a button. I pressed that button a lot to annoy my family. The more they complained about my loud Groot the more noise he made.
It Looks So Easy on YouTube
[rebelmouse-image 18356385 is_animated_gif=Eye liner.
Spending money on makeup you don't know how to use won't automatically give you the skills :(
Here Comes Peter Cottontail
[rebelmouse-image 18345977 is_animated_gif=Back in 2008, my mom, sister, and I were at the mall, and we went to the pet store to look at the animals. They had a bunch of Dutch Dwarf rabbits in the front of the store because Easter had just passed. Apparently, Mom heard that any rabbits not sold by the end of that week would be put down, so she told the two of us to each pick out a bunny that we wanted. We ended up going with the two that came up to our hands first - a black and white one that my sister named Oreo, and a gray/blue and white one that I named Star.
As we were carrying the two bunnies out of the store and to the car, my mom just groans, "Oh my God, what did I just do?"
Both rabbits have since passed away - Star in August 2016 after 8 years, and Oreo in January 2017, after almost 9.
Trojan Man
[rebelmouse-image 18356387 is_animated_gif=A pack of XL condoms. Who was I trying to kid?
iRegret
[rebelmouse-image 18356388 is_animated_gif=Bought an iPod shuffle back in 2013. Walked out and thought "I have a phone. Why do I need this"
Lost it a month later. Damn thing was tiny.
Carb Overload
[rebelmouse-image 18356389 is_animated_gif=Large fries.
No one human being needs that many fries in a day. But I always get it since it barely costs more than the smaller size fries.
When the Thrill Is Gone
[rebelmouse-image 18356390 is_animated_gif=Brand New Truck. I realized as you get older there is a much less level of excitement when getting things you want. I think I was chasing that feeling of excitement when you get something you really want when you're younger.
Think With the Big Head
[rebelmouse-image 18356391 is_animated_gif=Some brunette talked me into spending $65 for a white hoodie.
1.) Who the f' buys a white hoodie? That thing was filthy the minute it touched any surface outside of the bag. 2.) $65 is a lot to spend on a sweatshirt. Maybe not a specially or functionally designed one. But that was un-f'ing-heard of in 1999.
In conclusion, I was a dipshit.
It Was a Big File
[rebelmouse-image 18356392 is_animated_gif=Was in Hong Kong a few weeks back with my brother. Got our picture taken atop "The Peak". Decided we'd pay the $25 (USD) for the lousy picture because it was a good memory but as we paid and the procedure began we realized I was only getting a digital copy emailed to myself.
To this day trying to convince myself that that $25 email was not highway robbery.
Lederhosen
[rebelmouse-image 18356393 is_animated_gif=Leather trousers.
I'm a guy. It was the late 90's.
They weren't your typical leather trousers though. They weren't tight, but fit more like jeans. But they were leather.
My God, were they leather.
Ben & Jerry's Is Easier
[rebelmouse-image 18356394 is_animated_gif=Homemade ice cream maker, when I bought it I imagined having friends over and making ice cream, but it always seems so complicated and nobody wants ice cream that much. So I haven't used it a single time.
Suspension of Disbelief
[rebelmouse-image 18356396 is_animated_gif=Had a few weddings to attend so I decided to get a new suit. My top half is a bit bigger than my bottom so the pants that came with the jacket were a bit roomy. For some reason the cute saleslady managed to talk me into buying suspenders instead of a belt.
Soon as I walked out I knew my friends would be merciless. I was not wrong.
Beast of Burden
[rebelmouse-image 18356397 is_animated_gif=I bought a gallon of milk and four two liters of soda at once.
I don't have a car, so I had to carry it all the way back home.
EXTREMEly boring
[rebelmouse-image 18356398 is_animated_gif=I impulse bought a GoPro. I do not have the lifestyle that requires a GoPro.
"Hey guys! I'm just here looking out my window! Seems like rain today! Okay, like share and subscribe! Bye!"
Short of having a shopping addiction, no one actually likes spending money on stuff.
Why would you ever willingly give it away? It's your money!
Which might be why it feels so bad when you have to spend money of something that should be free from the beginning. People/ corporations are going to chase that cheddar, though, so there's little you can do besides complain, which frankly might be the best thing the internet is for.
Reddit user, woodside37, wanted to know what we should never have to pay for again when they asked:
"What should be free?"
Let's get these out of the way first...No, let's get this first one out of the way first.
Hidden fees are the worst.
Hidden. F***ing. Fees.
"Transaction/processing fees when you order a digital product online. Such as a concert ticket, where you pay 6 euro extra while you pay online, and have to print the ticket yourself."
rickmitchel
"Or processing fees to pay bills that you need. Duke energy charges a $7 processing fee for you to pay your energy bill. Like wtf."
CrispyCrunchyPoptart
Pay To Pee
"Public bathrooms! The amount of human piles of poop around because the homeless have no where to relieve themselves!"
AuntyMarcy
"Live in a very tourist-y part of the U.K., all public toilets charge and most cafes/pubs/libraries won’t let people use their toilets. As someone who lives here year round it’s really frustrating and doesn’t seem to make sense."
JonesNewport83
Want A Better Society? Educate Them.
"College. Or at the very least, college APPLICATIONS. If you're gonna require it for most careers, atleast make it accessible for people. And I just think it's stupid that people have to pay to get rejected."
callmeventibcimavent
"Oh god I hate that so much. Same with applying to apartments it’s such a waste of money if you don’t get approved. It racks up quickly too."
Kydra96
It does feel grimy when "official documentation" that is "mandatory" has to be bought and paid for not by the people requiring it, but by the people needing it.
Forcing Us To Pay For Something We're Forced To Have
"ID cards issued by the government. Especially since you need them for almost every aspect of daily living."
waqasnaseem07
"I. Exist."
"Birth certificates"
alexchico3
"I'm not the biggest fan of free stuf but having to pay for a piece of paper that says "I exist" is ridiculous."
Spaghetti-Evan1991
It'll never not feel bad having to pay for something we expect to be free, but it feels ten times worse when it's something you need to get by in life. As in, need to live.
Let's All Agree To Take Care Of Each Other
"All base needs up to a level. I mean stuff we need to survive, eg. power, water,... and things we are required to use to be relevant in daily life internet,..."
"Seeing how now power companies are fuel companies are having THE biggest profit in years while more and more families are pushed into bigger and bigger deths just to get by."
"Same goes for internet tbh, poor kids are just not getting by in school becasue they lack the basic stuff every other kid has to get further in life. I am not saying they need the fastest possible internet with unlimited dl, but give them so they can work for school so the vicious cycle can be broken."
Amelsander
We Need It More Than Anyone
"All mental health services. If you don’t have benefits or a VERY good paying job, they are unaffordable for how often most people really need them. At $120-160/ session even once a week is not affordable for most people these days"
pennylayne77
A Fine Line Between Need And Want
"Water"
selfishnerd77
"Drinking water, sure. But water is an expendable resource and it should honestly be more restricted when we think about cases like people watering their lawns."
I_Am_Become_Dream
Paying To Live
"Insulin. People are dying because of greedy pharmaceutical companies."
Astronimus123
"But We're 'Pro-Life'" - Jerks
"Birth control of all kinds."
"For anyone who b*tches about spending taxpayer money, I'd ask whether it costs more to provide condoms or to house prisoners."
AlexReynard
"Giving birth (In the us)"
z0k0n
"As a female US citizen the more I learn about the whole giving birth sh*t the less I want kids. My friend just had a baby, there were some complications. She is now paying off a 14k hospital bill! The lowest I have hears is 8k. 8k just to have a f-cking kid! For a country that is gung-ho about forcing women to have kids they have missed the mark completely."
Main-Yogurtcloset-82
Everyone is looking for their payout, and unfortunately sometimes we're the ones who have to give it to them, whether it makes sense or not.

The worst part of having breasts is Florida.
I didn't even say large breasts. Just breasts, any breasts. Florida and breasts are mortal enemies sworn to battle one another into oblivion until the end of days.
In other states, you and your ladies can live a more peaceful life. Here in Florida, it's A Song of Sweat And Fire Ants.
Ever get tiny little jellyfish stuck under your side-boob? Happens here all the time.
Bikinis should come with a "Sand Lice, Your Titty Crease, And You" informational pamphlet.
Wanna jog? Hope you accounted for the fact that the air is soup and will chafe and cauterize your nipples.
Know what limits your field of vision, making you more likely to accidentally step on a snake and/or gator? Boobs.
Know what slows you down as you try to escape the angry reptile from the above paragraph? Also boobs.
Reddit user Saibotnl1 asked:
"What's the most negative thing about having boobs?"
Now take all this stuff they said sucked, and then put it inside of a steam oven filled with mosquitos. That's Florida.
And Florida is incompatibile with breasts.

"I love them but running can be a nuisance even in a good sports bra."
- [Reddit]
"When I go to work, there is a woman that usually runs on the shoulder of the road. I gasp at how much her boobs bounce. Isn't that doing damage to tissue? Painful?"

- Pauliester
Growing Pains
"Probably growing them."
"It hurts, and if you get big boobs young and quickly, it’s both physical and social agony."
"It hurts to grow them, first of all, your chest aches and bumping them against anything really hurts - and since they’re a sudden, large addition to your body, you’re ALWAYS bumping them on stuff."
"But the social aspect is worse."
"Your female family members comment on them slyly and smirk at your response."
"Your male friends look at you weird and you have to realize they see you as more sexual than girls with smaller chests, even though you literally cannot control this."

- BigBunsLittleBunbun
"Lol the bigger girls who spent their entire grade school years getting sent to the principal's office for breaking dress code will agree with you."

"She would have teachers make comments about them."

There are humane ways to tell someone to go home after a... liaison.
How can one be so rude after being so intimate?
I'm not saying you have to snuggle and profess love, but damn, a quick... "thanks, I hope life is kind to you" goes a long way.
Redditor sumyungdood wanted to hear the tea about the times they had to tell a lover to take a hike. They asked:
"What is the worst way someones asked you to leave after sex?"
Tell me your worst. Mine our stories where I had find my clothes in the dark and sneak out naked.
Don't ask...
A Late Run
"Asked if he could drive my car to the gas station to buy cigarettes and when he came back he told me he left my keys in the car and it was running."
TopOcelot13
Beefed
"An old friend invited me over for her famous beef stew. I got there, we fool around, had sex, then right after she handed me a tupperware of the stew and said 'you got sex and stew, now please leave.' Still not sure if that's the worst way I was kicked out or the best."
TheRockMan31
"Most of the people here didn’t get stew. You did okay!"
livesarah
'is it that obvious'
"Went home with a girl from the bar. After we had sex, she said something like 'soooo... think you can get an Uber now? If not, I GUESS you can sleep on the couch for a few hours.' Here I was, sitting on some random girl's couch trying to find an Uber at 4 AM. Mercifully I did find one and when the guy picked me up he said 'so, your hookup kick you out?' I said 'is it that obvious' and he replied 'you weren't the first one I drove back to their car tonight and you probably won't be the last.'"
apocalypticradish
Yummy
"Go grab some Taco Bell. You can eat it on your way home. Honestly it was better than the sex. And I don't even like Taco Bell that much."
Nobody_Wins_13
I hate Taco Bell. And since reading this... I hate people.
Mrs. Robinson?
"She lit a cigarette, then looked at me for like 20 seconds, and said 'Well, bye.' I just got dressed and left. Never saw her again."

"He got off me and started looking at pictures of other women on Instagram, and commenting on how much more attractive they were than me and told me 'oh yeah you can go now.' We were best friends for like two years up until that moment."
Caramel_Cappucino
"I’m open minded but this is exactly why I often don’t trust male friendships. You could even be a lesbian and one moment of vulnerability they may take advantage of that. I know it’s unrelated but your experience made me upset and I’m sorry you had to go through that."
L8NiGHTFLiGHT
second time...
"He rolled over, grabbed his phone, and without even looking at me said 'find your clothes, you know where the door is' and just laid there on his phone ignoring me while I gathered my clothes and left. He tried texting me a few days later because he was drunk and horny so I told him 'you know where your hand is' and blocked him."

Gross
"We were good friends for a few years before hooking up after a night of drinking."
"Halfway through sex he told me he can't actually do this because he wanted to get back with his ex and can't mess it up because she's the hottest girl he'll ever be with. He lived in the middle of nowhere and I couldn't leave until the morning so he made me sleep on the couch."

Wow. Some people are truly disgusting. How do you treat other humans this way?

Most couples are inseparable and enjoy doing everything together, thanks in part to shared mutual interests.
But on occasion, some people in relationships go off in pursuit of one-sided pleasures in secret for various reasons.
These can range from going out to a vegan restaurant when the other person is a carnivore to seeing a Netflix show that is too violent for a squeamish significant other.
Because not every significant other may not share the same passion, Redditors TheTinRam asked:
"What’s a guilty pleasure you hide from your significant other?"

These Redditors needed some "me time."
Dad Time
"Everytime I go on a late night grocery run (once or twice a month) because I work nights, and my wife forgot to grab whatever, I add a $0.70 Mexican soda to the cart. It is just for me. It is something my dad used to get me on especially long days when I was a kid 'helping' him on jobsites. It is my tiny reminder of him."
– thecountnotthesaint
Story For No One
"I write stories for years now, some of the times she thinks I'm working on the computer but I'm actually writing a story. There is nothing to hide but I just keep it to myself, none of my family members know I write stories. Till today I have written 56 stories (most of them are short)."
– SuvenPan
In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
"Staying up late for peace and quiet."
– Blue_OG_46
Chatting For One
"I talk to myself all the time, I was actually wondering last night if it was a really weird thing to do lol"
– hottytoddy_sko
Naked And Sacred
"I will cruise the house butt naked and just do whatever the hell I want. About once a month. I won’t be able to this summer because the kids will be back in school, but come August, I’ll be naked and free again!"
– batchofbetterbutter
Some people need to get out of the house.
Self Therapy
"Sometimes I take the long way home and talk to myself in the car about my 'problems' - like Self Therapy. I put one earbud in so ppl think I could be on the phone."
"I get quite animated. It helps to get a stressful day out of my system before I get home and switch gears."
– Humble-Plankton2217
Solo Slice
"My husband has gluten sensitivity. If he eats regular pizza, his stomach hurts for a couple of days after."
"Well, I don't, so sometimes I say I'm going for a run, and I do run.... to the pizza store, eat a slice, and run back."
– sohumsahm
Catching Up With The Boys
"Covid has messed it up for a bit now. But every 3 or so months the boys and I all get up like we are going to work at our respective jobs but instead all call in sick and meet for breakfast, then go back to our one buddies place for the day to hangout. Around 4 or 5 one by one we all head home for our normal arrival time."
"It's literally the only way for us all to get together reliably. Most of us have known each other for the better part of 30 years now, going way back to junior kindergarten for some."
"Twice I have let her know my plan for the day and twice I have gotten phone calls to come home early for what ever not some emergency. So now we do it secretly."
– foh242
Some of the things people do behind their SO's backs is for endearing reasons.
Smooch Ploy
"I don’t know if this is a guilty pleasure necessarily but I pretend to be asleep when he comes home from work because he always kisses me on the forehead."
– str8outofabook
Catching Zzzs
"I love when she snores."
"She complains (only lightly) about my snoring all the time, and I always feel awful that I make it tricky for her to get a good night's sleep. When she's snoring, I know she's actually going to rest well, and it makes me happy."
– ricdesi
Scent Of A Man
"Smelling his clothes. Not creepily, like his boxers. But when he lets me borrow a shirt or a sweater I’ll put it on and just revel in the smell of him on his clothes. If I recall correctly, it definitely wasn’t like this when we first started dating. It’s been over two years now and I only remember doing this around the 7 month mark. He smells really, really good."
– he-whoeatsbugs
The Forever Admirer
"I have a whole album of 'unflattering' pictures of her. Not really something I hide, but they make me happy. She’s so silly yet so beautiful."
– Dewahll
They say that a couple that plays together, stays together.
That's all well and good. However, a significant other having some alone time should never be stigmatized.
My husband and I usually watch every TV show together, but I watch Netflix's Ozark by myself because I enjoy intense dramas, immensely.
It's not a secret. And he's glad I watch the shows that I want to watch on my own time–just like I encourage him to watch all those UFO documentaries that he's obsessed with, by himself.
No really, watch them without me.
