Don't they have 12 mos manufacture warranty? Whatever was my worst I erased off my mind, I can tell you about the worst return... since I had always worked with music production of some kind I remember purchase of a Yamaha daughter board to my soundcard... after 2 weeks I returned it.... I still over 20 years later haven't found a better trumpet sound than that Yamaha daughter board sound card. I am sure I got whatever sound blaster came up with.

I bought a dell for 700 dollars, it didn't work, took it back, they have me a new one, it didn't work, took it back and asked the geek squad what computer he would recommend and he said an Asus, paid ah additional 100, and 8 years later, my Asus still works!

I currently live in Thailand with little access to books in English,
Many Kindle books I've bought turned out to be boring after all, and I either stopped reading them, or never read them again.

Having a Kindle reader and simply "borrowing" ebooks from Amazon Kindle could have been better, but here in Thailand, I needed a tablet that could do it all.

A 1946 Cadillac hearse that didn't run. It was a great conversation piece though.....

x-ray glasses

Beets. I could have just grabbed a bowl of dirt out the garden, added blue & red food coloring & called it a day. Waste of perfectly good salt, pepper & butter. To this day I wouldn't smack a dog in the ass with a plate full of beets (southern colloquialism for "it ain't worth a shyte" ).

Before we knew that my soulmate's back ache was terminal cancer, we impulsively bought a bed that cost as much as a car, in hopes that it would relieve some of his back pain. He's been gone a year now, and this grieving process is the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll be making payments on that bed for years.

Chinese mobile phone. Kept crashing, battery life was rubbish.

My marriage license. : d

I once fell for one of those online "free" computer scans that found thousands of different problems on your system. It only cost me twenty dollars, but once I looked into it, I realized that the scan would always identify the same thousands of problems, because it was a fake. Once is enough!

First pack of cigarettes

Either a Whirlpool clothes dryer that broke a pully within the first year and simply had to be replaced, OR two Koehler Toilets that were supposed to be unpluggable, yet plugged as badly as any toilet AND were made horribly cheap, despite costing me top $. Never again!

1993 Ford Ranger

1993 Ford Ranger

A folding porta-potty, and a solar radio. The two items would not matter much...except I fell for the Y2K hysteria. The embarrassment alone was worth donating them (still in their boxes) to Goodwill.

A web design class in a continuing education program at a local college. Didn't learn anything and the instructor was useless.

I bought a set of encyclopedias from a door-to-door salesman in 1993. I thought I would use the heck out of them. Never opened one book. They stayed on the shelf and I continued to pay for them. In the end, I paid about $1500. The interest ate me alive. Live and learn.

Motorcycle/scooter. I have absolutely 0 interest, I just thought I would try it. I find it too damned hot, too damned cold, too damned wet, too damned uncomfortable for long drives, too damned little room to carry stuff, and always dangerous. I do like the way it looks, though.

The Sea Monkeys advertised in the back of that damned Archie Comics.

Listen to former husband and bought a Pinto. Did not catch on fire but engine blew up after 2 months

In 1988, I spent every penny I'd managed to save from Basic Training and my enlistment bonus on an engagement ring and a used car. The ring cost more. I should've spent all the money on a better car.

A 1981 Chevy Citation.

Signing up to the National Broadband Network in Oz, NBN, is is pretty much compulsory and it is a complete disaster.

Buying into the American dream..
