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 10:43PM

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 10:55PM

Farls · 31-08-2005 11:03PM

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'?

Tusky, you should read the charter on starting useless threads without commenting on your subject matter.

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....

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 07:40AM

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 09:58AM

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 12:45PM

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 03:31PM

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

The U2 gig in Croker...

Sound? What sound?

all i heard was a skipping record for 2 hours.

spiderlegs · 01-09-2005 03:44PM

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....

Biggest waste of money ?
