Stupid things your Famliy or Friends have bought

[Skuffyshootster]

Any person who has bought a pet is ridiculous. Especially if they keep it indoors.

I'm not sure how much it will do to warm that cold, jaded heart of yours.

A dirty hobo with a dirty dog. I wonder which one of them has more fleas.

Jeez, did your pet suddenly go crazy and kill your family or something? I can understand not wanting to keep a domestic animal , but in your case it just seems like stubborn hatred, or maybe you're just trolling.

My brother bought a Wii.

Yeah my brother in-law bought a wii and metroid other M, but at least he has chosen fairly good games other than that (like twilight princess and smash bros)

There are good games on the Wii? None you've mentioned are good. The bbest thing about the Wii is that you can play GC games on it.

Dumbest thing I've seen a friend buy was a Mac computer, because he was tired of getting viruses. That in itself isn't necessarily stupid, except he proceeded to put a Windows OS (think it was XP) on it, because he thought it was the hardware that was "virus proof".

My dad bought a cue ball that Elvis apparently played with...For $800 dollars...

Oh this could be a bit of a long list, so here are some of the top contenders.

- Cousin bought a Toy Story 3 ball thing for her four year old son. This is a thing he could literally fit inside. Of course, it was a piece of junk that broke in fifteen minutes. The hilarious part is she lost the receipt even faster.

- My aunt use to have this idiotic believe the more gifts you received at Christmas, the better. Thus, she would buy us tons of little things, absolute garbage every time, yet it all cost hundreds of dollars in some cases. Mom tried numerous times to get her to buy my cousins and I video games, since you know, those are useful. She could not wrap her head around it because that was one small present. She has since in improved, gives everyone a little money even. Now if she would cease hiding it in the damn crappy gifts, so we overlook it, all would be swell. >.>

- Pajamas, my god Pa-frigging-jamas. I have made it abundantly clear to practically everyone I know I loathe pajamas with a passion. Furthermore since I do not sleep, instead passing out, I essentially sleep in whatever I have on at the time. I have come to prefer my jeans and long sleeve shirts, hell even shoes, to anything else. Would anyone listen? Nope, every year someone has to buy me pajamas. I would rather receive nothing, at least than you are not wasting your money.

- Frankly clothes in general from anyone excluding my mother. Why? I have expense taste, and therefore am relatively picky with what I wear. My family cannot afford those clothing, which is understandable and I do not except them to pay hundreds of dollars for jeans. That being said, once again, just give me ten bucks if you insist one purchasing something for me at Christmas. At least then you know it is going somewhere besides the trash bin.

- Yu Gi Oh cards when I was a kid. My god, I had to have spent thousands on those stupid things. It was too great joy when I discovered mom accidently threw them out. >.>

I think 99% of the world would disagree with you wholeheartedly on that.

I said PET. They're a pointless waste of money, they're not useful or entertaining and they crap on the floors and furniture.
Useful animals on the other hand are a completely different thing. They can be eaten, skinned or put to work.

I know what you said. And I stand by my statement. A pet can be a loving companion, and can bring a lot of happiness to its owners. So long as you take care of it, owning a pet is its own reward.

Believe what you want, but from a pet's point of view you're nothing more than a feeding machine. They love you about as much as you love a sandwich. It can't be a proper companion because there's no way to communicate with it.

You've never heard the stories of dogs literally and willingly giving their lives for their owners, have you?

Do you have pets, and if so do you actually care for them and look after them properly? At this point I highly doubt it. Pets have more love for humans than most humans do.

My mom bought a church pew. $65. It's just taking up space. (She's a major Jesus freak)

Burn it, and tell her the Devil did it.

OT: The dumbest thing my dad ever bought.... Windows ME. He knows better now.

Dozens of garden 'improvements', though I didn't see them improve much.

They still didn't provide me with shade and places to hang up a hammock so I could achieve ultimate relaxation during summer times.

Any person who has bought a pet is ridiculous. Especially if they keep it indoors.

For years my cats were my only friends, and often still are. They did not scold me for getting a bad grade, they do not judge me for making bad choices, they do not laugh at me for my nerdy interests. All they wanted was my affection (and food), and they got that in plenty.

Sir, I beg to differ.

Oh and I don't keep them indoors. I mean, they're cats.

A dirty hobo with a dirty dog. I wonder which one of them has more fleas.

Two creatures finding comfort with each other, or in other words; friendship. It exists you know.

Your cats can't judge you because they don't even understand what you're doing. It's not compassion, it's ignorance. And now that you mention it, I can see the friendship of the hobo and the dog, but I still don't feel like giving them a hug.

It's quite simple, really. My opinions are based on my observations. All I've ever seen pets do is crap on the floor or make annoying noises.

My brother bought two plane tickets to California and one ticket from California spending over $500 to visit/fly out his girlfriend so he could get laid.

My mom's a pretty big Christian as well (very devout, not portly ), 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.

I lol'd at these

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 tell this to everyone I know. Well actually, I usually just ask them to not get me anything at all.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

i got a "do it yourself Morph kit" once which was basically a large lump of brown plasticine in a box.

[small]tbh i don't suppose many people will know who Morph is[/small]

Ah, Morph. And whatever the white one was called.

I said PET. They're a pointless waste of money, they're not useful or entertaining

Sure you're sick of being quoted on this by now, but I find my dog entertaining! Utterly useless in every way, but entertaining nonetheless.

I periodically facepalm regarding the number of useless things friends and family members buy.
"hey Joe! Shall I buy the drum kit for guitar hero: world tour?"
"No, it's £50 used, and you'll use it once and get bored"
"But it looks fun!"
I was wrong. It didn't get used for long enough for me to count it as being used once. And I still had to find somewhere to store the bloody thing. I hate having a housemate with more money than sense. We end up with so much crap... Once every couple of weeks I go through the kitchen throwing out all the food he's bought on a whim and then abandoned, letting it go horrendously out of date...
So pretty much everything that guy buys, really.

 

[GiglameshSoulEater]

I agree with andreas3K. Good man.
OT: Someone once bought half a packet of cookies off of me for 20 euros.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

Not sure if this counts but...

My uncle bought his grandkid a Wii... and has been renting the same game for it over 25 times...

The game costs $35 to buy... Renting it 25 times has cost him $875+...

My mom went to Paris for breakfast once, flew from NYC to get breakfast. Seriously.

I have to do the same thing with my fridge because of my mother. She always brings home leftovers even though she never eats them. I've seen some pretty grizzly doggy bags.

Those dogs obviously had no idea of what they're getting into.

Of course I don't have pets.

"Pets have more love for humans than most humans do"? Humans being what they are, what makes you think animals like us any more than we do?

I agree. They can be funny sometimes. But for me it's not a good enough reason to buy one.
If I want to see funny animals I'll go to Youtube.
I could keep going all night.

Someone agrees with me. How refreshing. It's weird how people see me as the Grinch who stole all pets.

think dogmeat, from fallout, he was good company and was a endless off ''to lazy to find chems so i send my dog to steal it from somewhere'' thingy, and remember maybe for apocalypso dogs can be mostly invaluable against other madmen
