The Stupid Polls thread (Part 1)

I spent too much money on drugs and alcohol, there was nothing left for shopping. I definently would have ordered stuff I didn’t remember if the funds were there to do so.

I still have a large unopened box in a closet. Based on the outside info, it’s a super-duper wet/dry vacuum :upside_down_face: It wasn’t from Amazon though, I ordered it online after watching one of those extended infomercials in the early hours. Apparently it was a steal at ‘only’ $500 :cry:

Only $500 made me :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
That’s a good topic to start. What you bought drunk and haven’t used. :joy:

… or simply regret :sweat_smile: @bikethief ‘s tattoo post above made me think that an overpriced and unopened household gadget was (thankfully) tame :grimacing::sweat_smile::rofl:

A one way plane ticket to Mexico that never got used or refunded.

A portable hot tub that cost $1800 and never showed up. It took 2 years, but I finally got my money back on that one thankfully. Oh the camping trips my drunken mind was planning with that hot tub! :rofl::rofl:

I have laughed about it many times! The plane ticket came a few months after the hot tub. Then rehab!

Shocking chain of events!!

And now I’m remembering more, unfortunately. :rofl::pleading_face::laughing:

I lost a car for four days in Philadelphia. I parked in a blackout. I was reminded that we had gone to a diner and I walked the area for two days until I found it. Covered in parking tickets and with a flat tire. Good times :frowning:

You could take it camping! That’s why it was so awesome!!! It just never showed up. :rofl: it was too good to be true!!

And yes the plane ticket was one way to a little island off of the coast of Cancun. I had met some guys when I was on a vacation that owned this great little bar. I was drinking so much at the time, my life was a joke, so I was out of here. I contacted them and they told me I could work at the bar so I was leaving everything to go drink my life away basically.

The hot tub was definitely hilarious though, well it’s funny now that I was finally able to get my money back! Isn’t drinking so much fun!

I lost my car at the beach one time. Parked it in a blackout and had no idea where it was.
I woke up and thought it had been stolen. I asked all of the other folks with me and they had no idea where the car was. (they were probably worse off than I was; which is saying something). Anyway, 3 days later I was getting scared my car was gone. I called the police and they came and took a description of the car and filed a report. Another friend not staying with us came by the same day. He said “oh you parked it blah blah blah after you drove it into the ocean”. He also said we were shooting of cherry bombs out the window right before driving it into the Atlantic. Apparently I did not go far enough into the Atlantic for it to stall or float away. Backed it up and parked it on the side of the road. I went to the spot and there it was, keys and all. That is one of my more tame stories. :crazy_face:

I purchased a 1K smart bicycle trainer on Amazon and had no idea until it showed up on my porch. Needless to say I was shocked. The delivery guy asked me to sign for it on a Saturday. I took this as a sign that on Friday night (I don’t remember) I was wanting to heal and get better, hence the trainer. I kept it and started using it. I also started my sober journey on that day. It has taken awhile for me to get where I am now, but it started when I was shocked by the 1K trainer.

Well Chris, it’s 1:35am. I’ve been trying to sleep for ages. Guess what weird shit is going on in my brain?

Exactly how ‘portable’ can a hot tub be?
How many people were able to fit in it?
What was it made out of?
How assembled?
How does water get in it?
How does the water get and stay hot?
What if a bear appears when you’re in the Hot Tub?

Please answer these questions so that I have a hope of getting some sleep.

Many Thanks!! :+1::sweat_smile::rofl::rofl::rofl:
