Buyer's remorse is a real thing. As far as anyone goes, if you've ever shopped, you've probably made a bad purchase here and there. This Bored Panda thread was dedicated to the most regretful instances of buyer's remorse. Check out what our brilliant community has submitted!
If you want to get the gist of it, here's a summary of the thread. While many described their regretful purchases that were pretty common, like a bad tech item, some had some brilliant insights that many unexpectedly related with. Bought exercise gear that you barely use? Turns out, you're not alone, perhaps even in the majority. Other submissions were a tad bit more strange, but all the more interesting. And, of course, there are many more truly brilliant stories that are best told by the authors themselves.

A few years ago, Cadbury claimed they would stop selling their choco bars in the USA. I bought a gazillion of 'em. They're still available in the USA and they're fresh. Not like the evil choco-things taking up space in my pantry. As a door stop.

My parents have a gorgeous treadmill. I've only been back in my hometown for two years but I know it's been sitting unused for longer than this. I've offered money for it "I'll be using it, I just need to get it fixed" (something to do with the oil or whatever), I've offered to pay to repair it just to force them into action, met with "now isn't the right time." It isn't even used to hang clothes! It just sits there!! They also have a bowflex, at least that one hangs clothes.

You don't have to workout for an hour, or exhaust yourself. Exercise is important, even just 30 mins a day will help you live longer. If that's too daunting try just 10 mins at a time and work up.

I bought a tablet around 5 years ago thinking I will use it for work. I used it a few times out of curiosity but never used it for work as it wasn't efficient at all for me. It's just too small for work and movies, and that's basically all I use my computer for. So it ended up being an expensive useless purchase I still have on my shelf collecting dust.

40 years ago, had a boyfriend who got a job selling timeshares. He described the selling process: start with a postcard guaranteeing the addressee that they had won either $10,000, a big screen TV, or a toaster. But to find out what their prize was they had to listen to a presentation. Essentially they were kidnapped for hours because the timeshare people would not let them go unless they signed a contract. In order to leave the presentation room or the back seat of a car required extreme forcefulness. Obviously, no one ever won the money or the TV.

*IF* you pick a pre-made tattoo then change it up a bit. Different colours. That way, it's unlikely anyone else has the exact one. I got a dolphin after I swam with them...but I chose to make it a purple dolphin. The artist said no one had done that before :) I don't understand why people pick them off the selections on the wall or books. Well, after the 1st tattoo anyway. A proper Tattoo artist refuses to do that actually. Pay to have them design one if you cannot

I have several bunny-pelts. Didn't know the animals personally and they were used for food. Still don#t know what to do with them, but they're really snuggly and I kinda love them anyway. I do love animals, too - a lot, even. Still think that if the animal was used for meat, it's okay to use ALL of the animal for other purposes. Especially if there really isn't a good substitute for leather. Yes, there's fake-leather and vegan leather. They're great. Still not the best substitute if what you need is leather. It is great in the sense that maybe not every shoe needs to be made from leather when all you do with them is walk around in a city.

About 2 years ago my husband bought a cheap used car at 2500. It was his choice but once I found out it was a manual I should have talked him out of it. He was convinced he could drive it. Two months after purchase the clutch was in pieces all over the highway because he definitely couldn't drive a manual and I paid for an expensive taxi ride since he was driving me to the airport. It limped back home and sat in the driveway for over a year after this. January this year we bought a brand new car, our first new one.

When you go to buy something on Amazon ALWAYS READ THE BAD REVIEWS. I guarantee if it is made in China they post a whole bunch of positive reviews. The bad reviews always point out the major failings of an item. I was going to buy some Royal Albert Old Country Roses Canisters. Reviews were great, UNTIL I read the bad reviews.

Laser is painful and expensive and doesnât exactly return the skin to how it looked before tattoos - youâll be left with some scarring :( Cover ups can be difficult or impossible depending on the tattooâs size/darkness/thickness and the aptitude of the artist. Much better to think it through before getting inked, youâre right on that point :)

Most tattoos don't age well. They fade and your skin gets loose, dry, and wrinkly.

It's the reason I told my kids they could use marker pens on their body when they were kids. When they disappeared they could draw something else. Sadly two got huge tattoos at 18 and both regret having had them done because it's permanent and they can't afford to get them removed. I've heard from both so many times, that they wished they had just carried on with the marker pens lol. I just raise my right eyebrow which is my way of saying I told you that đ
Amy Stone-Chandler 3 years ago
Sometimes we get tattoos and our BODIES don't age we'll lol. But, if the tattoo doesn't age well itself, the artist sucks. Proper tattoos(if taken care of) should look as vibrant as the day you got them for decades. Sun is the worst on them

Most tattoos don't age very well at all as least one generation will find out in a couple of decades.
B đşđŚđ¨đŚ 3 years ago (edited)
If you have a good artist, are strict about aftercare, keep them out of the sun (and also wear sunscreen on them every day regardless) and have a little touch up maintenance every decade or so, you can actually keep them looking pretty good for quite a long time :) those blurry smudgy-looking old tattoos you see sometimes where the black ink looks blue come from not taking proper care or maintenance.

Once you've repaid a chunk, would you be able to remortgage to a better deal and reduce your monthly payments? Also, if you are feeling a bit cash rich one month, or you've had a bonus, overpay your mortgage payment. They come straight off the capital sum, not on interest. Plus, in general, house prices go up, so it'll be worth more than you spent on it . Buying a house is the best way to pay yourself, as at the end you'll have a lovely house that you own outright. Not so if you rent.
Dana Detrick 3 years ago
I actually heard once that a better way to pay off the capital faster is put the extra you'd be adding to your monthly payment in an interest-bearing account instead until you have enough to just pay the loan off in full. This was because if you do hit a bind where you are at risk of foreclosure, banks are less likely to work with you and go ahead and foreclose because they take less of a loss than on homes where more is still owed. Doesn't seem fair, but better business for the mortgage.

We paid our mortgage off early buy paying about twenty five bucks a month more. The first twenty years of a thirty year mortgage is about 99% of the interest on the loan.

GoPro camera. $$. Was getting back into photography with my iphone. Figured a genuine camera would be better and looked for one with multiple functionality. What they left out of the description? To use the functions, like video editing, photo editing, webcam, you have to subscribe to their apps. They still can't get the apps including the webcam app to even work. IT support is FAQ with no email, phone, chat - nothing! Taking any picture is a complicated mess. I have to buy a harness to hold the camera to use the video function. In summary: It is a steep learning curve for the functions that do work and tons of frustration for the ones that don't. It's somewhere in my apartment in a shoebox.

GoPro camera. $$. Was getting back into photography with my iphone. Figured a genuine camera would be better and looked for one with multiple functionality. What they left out of the description? To use the functions, like video editing, photo editing, webcam, you have to subscribe to their apps. They still can't get the apps including the webcam app to even work. IT support is FAQ with no email, phone, chat - nothing! Taking any picture is a complicated mess. I have to buy a harness to hold the camera to use the video function. In summary: It is a steep learning curve for the functions that do work and tons of frustration for the ones that don't. It's somewhere in my apartment in a shoebox.

I had bought a used guitar off someone on FB marketplace for $140 this spring, initialling wanting to learn how to play. It's larger than I thought it was and not sure it's a good make for a beginner. I have no idea how to properly tune it nor really sat down and watched tutorials on youtube. I've strummed on it a few times but other than that it's moved from my living room to tucked away in my bedroom.

You can buy tuners that work really easily. Also if its new you can still get that price back for it.

Literally every vegetable slicer I've ever bought was crap. I still have the last one.

My Boerner slicer had worked for 6 years and was replaced recently with the same model. I love it :D

Collector Plates from mostly Bradford Exchange. BE tricked me and said that they would be worth so much more in the future and I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Now I have over 30 different plates that I am so sick of seeing that I won't hang them anymore and they are sitting in a box in a closet taking up valuable real estate.

Bought 4 packs of Pokemon cards last week. Even though I had a hunch the packs had been opened. Cashier assured me they hadn’t. Well they had. It’s just 25 dollars and there were some new cards. Yet it annoys me so much.

Those 'Wonder' hangers that are supposed to save so much space by letting you hang five items in the space of one. I kept getting distracted trying to figure out what clothes to put in each set of five, and they don't save that much space. Velvet hangers are good deal, though.
