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 friggin' time.

yeah, thank god for Ebay.

U GO GIRL! You sexy thang!

I'm allergic to latex!

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.

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:

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

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

Me too gurlfriend... me too.

With me, it's loaves of bread. A slice or two, then the next thing you know (weeks later), I'm throwing it out because it's moldy. Not a big bread person.

chocolate1 said:

!! Yes, and iceberg lettuce always goes to waste in my home. I do better with using fresh spinach now in my salads and sandwiches.

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"

NDRU said:

guilty.

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.

me too!

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
