THE MOST EXPENSIVE USELESS THING I EVER BOUGHT

(January, 2024) Reddit asked, “What is the most expensive useless thing you have ever bought?” Some of the responses:
– “Telescope in a country thats cloudy all the damn time.”
– “A ghosthunting kit, complete with night vision, emf detectors, cameras, etc. $1K. I don’t even believe in ghosts, just thought it’d be fun to bring out at parties.”
– “A Suburban. I was told I could transport full sheets of plywood in it, which was finally my selling point because I do a lot of work in my house. To this day, my wife has not allowed plywood in the Suburban.”
– “Ferragamo stilettos. They are now a half size too small and kill my feet but so beautiful and sentimental that I can’t bear to get rid of them.”
– “I bought a go pro and a bunch of fancy mounts having over-estimated how much cool stuff I do that warrants filming and grossly over-estimated how much time I would have to sit down and edit the raw footage into something compelling.”
– “Surfboard for my girlfriend’s brother. Who lives in Germany. Where there is no surfing.”
– “A harp. I don’t even play the harp.”
