...why'd I do that?

i just got a 50" hdr 4k tv because it was getting too hard for me to read the text in video games. As soon as i plugged it in I realized I could have just got a new pair of glasses.

I don't even really watch a lot of quality tv and movies like that. What the ? was I thinking?

Another time that comes to mind was when I paid 24 bills for a shot of mezcal (del maguey pechuga). Mind you the ? was tasty and all but i woke up the next morning and had questions for myself about the trajectory that my life was on that I couldn't really answer.

    When i was still single, i bought a condo in Vegas bcuz i was burnt out on the hotel life and wanted more privacy. But the main reason was to impress the ladies who were worthy of being allowed to know where i lived.
    Three months later i was married and no longer needed the bachelor pad. I ended up turning the crib into a more family friendly place. Took me forever to sell that crib.

    so you met and married someone in three months?

    I just bought 2 meat and potato pies from Morrisons for 2 pound, after I had paid I realized they had Hollands pies on offer for 63p each and the most ? up part is my baby girl didn't even like the pie due to the hard potatoes inside, she loves a good hollands cheese and onion pie tho ffs.

    True.. I needed a pair of jeans.. went to Macy's and ended up buying 3 pair and 3 shirts..spent like $275. Got home and realized the shirts weren't that nice.. took two back and kept the jeans. Felt good takin that ? back tho..cause I didn't really need the extras.

    $2200 on a macbook pro when i should have spent $700 on a hp laptop for how i use it.

    $700 on some ferragamos that will likely last me my whole life but damn...$400 ballys would have done the same.
