About two years ago my Grandparents bought this "rain soft" Water filter. Which at night makes loud demonic sounds from the garage. It also needs salt to work somehow and dumps left over salt into the regualer water syestem so you only can drink from the rain soft nozzle they installed. They water is weird feeling, instead of being soft it feels like a sticky slime and apparently the sales person said we'll save money on soap and shampoo because you don't have to use as much when washing with rain soft. So that means if you mess up and put a little to much soap on you're going to have to rinise for an extra 5 minutes. All this would be fine if we were using city water and need a filter but we have a well which is now useless because its filled with salt.

Anyways after just getting out of the shower pissed again, name something you can't fathom why your someone you know would buy something so obviously stupid.

I don't really remember who, but someone bought this ugly ass tiger statue. It broke in like 20 minutes. It was so stupid.

Any person who has bought a pet is ridiculous. Especially if they keep it indoors.
But...but...the kitty is so cute!

OT: My sister bought Purr Pals for the DS.
To this day she doesn't understand why.

My mom bought a church pew. $65. It's just taking up space. (She's a major Jesus freak)
My mom's a pretty big Christian as well (very devout, not portly :p), she got a little Jesus statuette to put on our front porch. I call it our guard Jesus, Dad and I joke that he keeps the Mormons away.

My dad bought a Mac.

Because it was fashionable.

Even the most hardcore Mac fan has to facepalm at that.

well my dad bought this "revolutionary hedge trimmer that tidies as I use it" as he so proudly proclaimed to me, when I went to help him one weekend I saw this thing... it was an ordinary trimmer with just a place to attatch a rubbish bag too, and even then most of the trimmings missed the bag anyway! would have been better off sticking with his normal, still in perfect working order, one

God, that's so useless... three cuts with a knife and I have a better result depending on the apple size.

Can I name pretty much all objects that just serve "aesthetic" purposes?

Like "decorative" pillows.

And "decorative" tablecloths.

And "decorative" towels.

WHY BUY VERSIONS OF SOMETHING YOU USE...THAT YOU DON'T INTEND TO USE?!

Too many gifts to remember.

I told my mother a while back she should not buy any sort of gift without the approval of the person she's buying it for.

This made her very sad. My family has a lot of problems, and I felt bad for hurting her, but when money is as tight as it was (and still is) it's better off not to waste it.

I'd hardly call SSBB good to be fair.

Half of a candy bar. Literally. It was bitten in half and he bought it for the same price as a whole.
