    Probably a 1996 Chevy Camaro with 138,000 miles on it......dumbest thing I ever did, that car was a total piece of crap....it looked good, but it had been run to death....American cars cannot go that many miles and still operate correctly.

    Once I saw these dancing Simpsons paper figures in the street. The guy said all you needed to do was put them by a boom box and they bounce. I bought one and it was just paper and yarn for legs, and when i went back, I saw that the girl next to him was pulling an extra fine string to bounce them, luckily I only wasted a Dollar, but I keep that paper Homer to remind me that scamming people suck.

    Last year I bought a really expensive perfume - but didn't realize until it was too late that I was allergic to it!

    My skin got all blotchy and I couldn't leave the house for days - I missed a really important date. That was awful!

    Once I thought that I just needed to have these CDs, computer discs for virtual cats and dogs. It wasn't much, 10 dollars, but I hate wasting money, today I don't even play on them.
