I haven't made too many consumer mistakes but I'll make a prediction of my debs.

I've spent a good bit on crappy CD's, clothes that get worn once, oh, that's it clothes that get worn once. My biggest waste of money.

Until I played Burnout 3, I would have said my Xbox, now I'm not so sure.

Paying to go see "war of the worlds" in the cinema :mad: dreadful

Nightwish · 31-08-2005 9:43pm

biggest waste of money IMO, is paying rent in Dublin-so overpriced for poor quality

Last year I spent €36 on a Street Fighter cartoon box-set thinking it was the ultra-violent cool one. Turned out to be the old kids one (box had no rating)

Shyster · 31-08-2005 9:55pm

Farls · 31-08-2005 10:03pm

I rented a car when I went to the US on holidays earlier this year - didn't see that as 'dead money'

and what about people who get the bus everyday - they pay their fare every day and have no bus to show for it when they stop working. Is that not 'dead money'?

Pretty much. I meant rent of a house anywhere if you're going to live there was anything other than a short period of time

Mods are normal people outside the forums they moderate. Or so rumour has it....

fun bus · 01-09-2005 12:11am

Got plane tickets to go to a stag in liverpool with 29 other lads to discover there was no accommadation for us,so we had to get new tickets to belgium instead! AND the dates were the same, so ryan-air are gonna have thirty free seats on a plane because of us and their "no refund" and "extremely expensive to transfer flights" policies!!

PS-It was not i who was charged with organising said weekend!!

Blitzkrieger · 01-09-2005 6:40am

They always over sell flights anyway so all the seats might not be empty.

Spent a fortune on a designer shirt in England but I didn't mind so much cos I liked it and it looked good on me. The waste of money was it shrank in the wash and I can't wear it any more.

Gazza22 · 01-09-2005 8:58am

A remote control airplane that i bought 2 years ago...

I brought it home and later that day i had it on my bed, i forgot that the engine was still in idle so silly me picks up the remote control, hits forward and guess what? The plane launches forward and takes off two of my finger nails and leaves a nasty little cut

Now to the reason why it was a waste of money, with blood driping, i lost my cool and fecked the thing at the wall...i broke it and to this day haven't flown it once...that reminds me, i got to sort out the repairs for it soon

rubadub · 01-09-2005 11:45am

The last 4 pints of a saturday night after you have blacked out, and the massive abrakebabra meal you ate, the only reminder is a receipt for €20 and a wicked dose of ring sting and the jet black trots.

scuba steve · 01-09-2005 2:31pm

debs would be up there at the top of the list, along with all those ****ty school books and uniforms. and of course i would say fones but id really mean to say theyre too expensive

Einstein · 01-09-2005 2:34pm

The U2 gig in Croker...

Sound? What sound?

all i heard was a skipping record for 2 hours.

spiderlegs · 01-09-2005 2:44pm

Drink-sure it often adds to a good night out but sometimes all you can be left with is and empty pocket, a headache and embarrassing scenarios you'd rather forget....

Triton · 02-09-2005 7:41pm

Staying with 02 for about six months too long when I should of changed to Meteor.

Alana · 02-09-2005 7:52pm

First debs dress, disastr zone, blue and shiney-not in a good way. Subsequently I just wore the other one for the other 4 debs, meh, different accessories and dry clean, all you need to do.

Also, really expensive couture stuff I bought from work once, also a disastr, couture my ass.Looked pretty, but was a disastr. I also have a suit in my wardrobe for some unexplainable reason-can't remember how, when, or why it got there, but I reckon it could have cost me two weekends worth of drinking...

Too many albums to even begin with-head automatica, wtf was I thinking, and my never-ending collection of handbags, which is fast approaching the 150 mark...not a waste of money AT ALL, but it does eat a hole in my pocket...

I'm too shocked to post....

....guess it would be my DVD collection. Possibly my games collection - it goes like this. Buy game, 50/50 chance of playing it for ten minutes if at all, before returning it for about half value

Buying a crap-load of reproduction Soviet era posters for 25 Sterling a pop in a shop in Regent's St. London, when I could have got them for 5 Sterling on ebay. Arse.

bounty_hunter · 03-09-2005 7:58pm

Random clothes that I like the colour/feel of at the time, but secretly know I'll probably never wear. I then end up with them lying about taking up space in my room for bloody ages because I can't bring myself to get rid of them, until the memory of the cost becomes vague enough to hand them on to someone else who'll make use of them.

Oriel · 03-09-2005 11:29pm

Gym membership.

Gonzolas · 03-09-2005 11:34pm

An acre of moon. What use is that ever going to be to me. Sigh.
