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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

First pack of cigarettes

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!

My marriage license. : d

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

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!

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.
