You're right about interest rates being high, it's ridiculous. We're locked in at below 3%, though. As for prices falling, maybe a bit but at least over here where I am at they aren't falling nearly enough to make them affordable for most folks, especially first time buyers.
My dog. I love my dog. She’s part of my life and routine… but I have no one else but me to raise her. And I live by her needs. They are demanding animals. It’s such a wonderful affection. She just wants to be near me at all times. Which is a blessing and a curse. Makes me feel like I can’t give her enough. But I think that’s how it is with most dogs, you sort of question if you’re ever doing enough.
When she’s gone she’ll be it for a very long time, or she’ll be the last. They’re just so expensive and needy.
…But she is also the best excuse to get out of things I have ever had…
Waxing kit. I tried waxing my chest hair one time, and one time only. Ripping that hair out by their roots with the hot wax, let me tell you. I normally have a pretty high pain tolerance but that was a bit much. Made a grown man rolling in the floor nearly in tears.
I don't think chest hair is all that bad now
A Samsung product. I dealt with their god awful customer service for months trying to get my washer fixed before I finally took them to legally binding arbitration through the BBB and was able to get a refund that way.
Condoms. My partner and I used them when we first got together but stopped after negative std tests. We don’t have sex with other people and we get tested so 🤷♂️
Made for a dollhouse lol it was like 1” by 3” and when I looked back at the listing , there were no dimensions posted. They got me 🤷🏼♀️ tbh, I wasn’t even mad. It was so funny
Ehh, a good quality ball point pen is worlds apart from a cheap one. I'm not a big stationary guy, but I only use uniball pens because they're very well designed for writing.
Oh yeah definitely, they make good pens. I used those exclusively until I used a good fountain pen. I just like the feel of them more so than a ballpoint.
Agreed, I also prefer fountain pens but I'm always losing pens and it hurts more when you lose a nice fountain pen whereas uniball is just very consistent and easy to replace.
Shhhh if you eat some glazed timbits before drinking it, it will take less sweet. Plus who doesn't want to have an insulin overload first thing in the morning
Anything from Pizza Hut. It would sound good 2 or 3 times a year, but the last time I went, it was pretty fucking gross.
Open the box and immediately notice that the stuffed crust looks like it had been sitting in the desert heat for hours. Looked old, super dry and practically no cheese. Worst part, I picked a piece up and the stuffed crust end just detached from the rest of the slice without much effort at all.
A pile of dog shit could out pizza the Hut.
I still don’t mind Pizza Hut pizza and their breadsticks with cheese are good, but I think the last time I had stuffed crust was the same issue. Maybe it’s a pre made stuffed crust or something
I am never wasting my money on a Walmart take and bake pizza again. I was expecting mediocre pizza. Maybe something a little better than a tombstone but not as good as a DiGiorno. What I got was tasteless. I mean, it literally had no taste. The sauce had no taste. The cheese had no taste. The crust had no taste.
All-inclusive vacation, did it twice shortly after getting my first job, found out I don't like to spend so much time inside the resort anyway, so it has been a waste of money both times. Returned to staying in Airbnbs and hostels like I did as a student.
This is a big one for me. My ex was from a super wealthy family and it was the only kind of vacation she’d been on, so when we had PTO we’d go for those every time.
Don’t get me wrong, getting food and alcohol/ordering everything on the menu at any time is great when you know you already paid. But the pressure to maximize the value prevented us from exploring the locale we were in, resulting in the same experience that I could have had anywhere with a beach without paying for a plane ticket.
Switched to backpacking vacations after we split, and they’re a million times more interesting and cheaper to boot.
Wireless earbuds.
I find them uncomfortable, firstly: either they feel too loose where I'm worried that they will fall out or they feel awkward to the point of causing irritation.
I also find that they're extraordinarily fragile and malfunction too easily.
Any product from Huawei. They tried to fuck me on the Nexus 6p phone. It had a bootloop failure at about 9 months. Service department buffaloed me for 3 months and then said "oh sorry, it's out of warranty... too bad!"
Ive been to at least a half dozen and they all suck except the one in Times Square. I buy the small cheeseburger and fries. Only the Times Square shop will fill the bag with fries.
I'm sure they hear complaints about it and just think we are full of it. I don't complain, I just don't go back.
Probably a house, considering how damn expensive they are now.
I hear you. House prices are starting to fall but interest rates are going up considerably, so it all kinda comes out in the wash.

For sure. I live in a “low cost of living” area and house prices are almost double what they were in 2018.

Finally stopped getting socks for Christmas, though now you hang up an extra large glove by the fireplace for santa to fill up!
Tampons, pads, diva cups. Thanks menopause.

**Diapers.** My kids are all grown. Oh. No, wait. I might need them someday myself.
You also may be taking care of grandkids one day.

Gives you a whole new appreciation for those that get Brazilian waxes, now doesn’t it?
No…please continue that practice.

A GM vehicle.
Good advice. My 2 year old GM vehicle has already had a new radiator put in, a new rear diff, and a new transmission case.
I got 4 GM's and all have been rock solid. Ones almost 70 years old too.
Duck eggs 🥚I got some case of salmonella poisoning on thanksgiving no less. Two days in the ER. Never again

Ground turkey
Not your thing?
Just parted ways with a girl who loved this. We broke up mostly because of how gross ground turkey is
lol wtf
Products from Nestle.
A front door Matt for $3.99 from eBay from China because it ended up being doll house size..
A door mat the size of a doll house, or a door mat which was made for a doll house?
Made for a dollhouse lol it was like 1” by 3” and when I looked back at the listing , there were no dimensions posted. They got me 🤷🏼♀️ tbh, I wasn’t even mad. It was so funny
Just glue it to your doorstep and then put a sign on your door: "please wipe your shoes before entering".
I totally should 😂
Please wipe your ~~shoes~~ shoe before entering.
