Have u ever bought something.....and NEVER used it?

I noticed that my closet is full of expensive items that I have NEVER worn.
I also have a few synths and other gear that has never been turned on.
Is this normal? Do guys buy things that u have never used?

all the time....i wish i had the money back

Yep. I always swear I won't do it again.

I think clothing and novelty items tend to go unused for the better part. Like a coat, or formal attire. I bought hats, gloves, coats, shoes, (especially high heels that are for "not walking" ) and latex clothing.

I also don't use make-up. Some lipsticks never get used if I buy more than 2 shades at a time.

Oh,and my Lotusflower CD. Haven't listened to it yet. Really.

Books and DVDs mainly. Not as much as I used to though.

Come to think of it, I bought Whitney's new Cd and haven't listened to it yet...

Yes...I buy shoes and never wear them. I keep telling myself I will find something to go with them and never do.

Besides, clothes and shoes, I'm shaking my head at the dvd player I bought 3 years ago for my home gym that is still in the shipping packaging.

all the damn time!

worse is all the stuff I bought for the kid that he stays in trouble so much he never gets to play with. I started donating that shit to the daycares!

yes...im getting better at it though.

i remember buying a pr of silver satin sandles with kitten heels..never worn (too painful) gave them to homeless shelter.
buying stuff & spending $$ gives me an adrenaline rush.

its an addiction.

U GO GIRL! You sexy thang!

I'm allergic to latex!

Every head of lettuce I've ever owned, it seems

I have learned, though, I think twice before buying stuff nowadays. Except lettuce.

So am I... bought the stuff before I knew of my allergies (I became sensitive to latex gloves when I worked in a salon). But I can wear latex gloves again so I think I am OK (I guess my allergies weren't as bad as some). Latex condoms are another story.... that skin is different. :scurred:

My friend said he never uses his gym memberships.

So he joined again, and they have an option to put it on hold for like $10 a month, so just as he signed up he said "please put it on hold"

I have quite a few unopened dvd's and i'm talking
from like 2005 and 2006. I have the whole Lethal Weapon
Collection unopened. I also have an 8 gig Mp3 player
i brought in August still unopened but will definitely
use it as my music library continues to grow.
Oh yes clothes unworn that were given as gifts.

guilty.

I don't think so.

I just gave away a box full of oil paints.
I've been telling myself for years I will paint in oils. The medium is not immediate enough for me. It will never happen.

I hate being wasteful, but I have so many things I haven't used yet. There's something about feeling like I need things that lets me accumulate them, when there really is no "need" just WANT
