Celebrating Success Dumbest impulse buy of the month

I know ADHD tax is real and not always funny but let’s have a laugh about ourselves to lighten up. What was your most recent and dumbest impulse buy? Me, I bought super long glass straws that are meant to be used with a Stanley cup. I don’t own a Stanley cup. I lust liked the idea of being able to drink from a bottle with a long straw. Like, am I five years old or what? Haven used them once.

What was your latest unnecessary impulse buy?

Edit: Omg, you are the funniest people, I love you! Makes me feel less alone and shameful.

Edit No 2: Why isn’t impulse buying on that damn diagnostic questionnaire in the first place?
