    Default Ridiculous Things You Buy That You Probably Don't Need

    I'll start: Bottled water. Good word I'm addicted to this stuff lately. Apparently my taste buds decided that the stuff out of the tap is not as good. Oof.

    At least you haven't gone brand loyal yet. I get irritated anytime I can't find SmartWater. No, I have no idea why. It just tastes better.

    I smoke, so theres that. Tools. I will use almost any excuse to get a new tool, or preferably set of tools. I recently bought a Dremel 8200, a Tap and Die set, a set of metal files and a set of extra cutting wheels for the dremel so I could fix a $35 folding chair.

    I too buy bottled water.

    I also have a habit of buying too much food or candy than I can eat myself. I usually end up throwing or giving most of it away. I just want a little bit of it all, you know?

    I only buy carbonated bottled water, becuase I can't get that from my kitchen. I probably don't need it, but then again, I don't really need more than one set of clothes either, right?

    I buy bottled water because for some reason, my dad doesn't want to buy a filter for the faucet. I honestly think it's stupid to have to pay for water though. It's like paying for air. That would be just as dumb.

    I also tend to purchase office supplies that I don't really need, or hardly ever use. I like being surrounded by organized stationery items in my study. :shiny:

    This. Except... Not organized. Ever. Also, Notebooks. I'm in the process of a major move right now (like, moving my wife three states, then myself like 12 time zones) and in the process of packing I think I've chucked 20 notebooks with 5-15 pages used out of them. Don't know why, but I feel compelled to buy or otherwise obtain notebooks all the time. I guess in my head every time I buy a new notebook, that's going to be the one that I finally fill with brilliant schematics for amazing devices and knowledge to share with future generations. Then it gets a doodle and a grocery list and goes in a drawer.

    Moroccan slaves. They're not as hard workers as Latvians or durable like Inuits, but I just like the variety.

    Among various other things in my room that I probably won't ever use, I accumulated a large quantity of misc. school supplies while I was in high school. I now have more notebooks than I know what to do with. I should use all of them to teach myself how to draw, until I can doodle something other than stick figures.

    I was going to type "Everything I enjoy, I guess?" but then reread the "Ridiculous" in the title.

    Uhm. I bought a Skrull Mighty Mugg because it was on sale for like a dollar, I guess?
