Came home drunk and ordered a Choc Mini - let's hear your impulse buy stories

[omuerte]

So yeah, I came home drunk last night and ordering a choc mini sounded like a _really good idea_ at the time.

Let's hear your impulse buy stories, any good ones?

[omuerte]

That reminds me of an ex-girlfriend who wanted to go to the pound to look at puppies. We came home with a kitten.

I went to amazon to buy a Filco Mj2 TKL, would up buying that a wrist rest, another wooden wrist rest, over 200 key caps, another mouse, 2 mouse pads, Das w/ Blues, some ****ty keyboards, and more to come, god what is wrong with me

[mehkat1974]

sounds like you have a great wifi ripster

I was so drunk when I ordered my first mech keyboard that I forgot all about it until a couple of days later when I saw the order confirmation email, keyboard arrived that afternoon.
Didn't really know anything about the switch types either, I had seen pics of a filco on another forum and just wanted it for it's all round badass old school look, and went with blues cos it's my favourite colour for such things

Now on my 4th filco - gone back to blues + a poker, and second RF arriving in the next couple of days. Sober for all of those

I was at atlantic city, NJ, (casino town)

The koreans have basically taken over all the businesses, streetside, and boardwalk.. So I was pretty lonely, decided to go to one of the massage parlors , which were obvious brothels; the kind where they buzz you in, and peer at you for 2 minutes through a door slide.

little surprise, the girls in there were also korean.. She was average at the message,, the sex was decent,, $200 total,, pretty pricey now that I think about it... she also told me about her little sister in korea who she hopes to bring to the US, and her build order when playing lt

Oh forgot to add, she uses mx-blues

I'm going to impulse buy your Choc when you decide you regret buying it!

When drunk, I would like to spill soda water/orange juice onto my Filco instead.

Nah, I have plans for the board even if I hate it. I've wanted a small form factor board for a while, I'll probably modify the thing to have variable weighted switches. If you want it after I butcher it, heh, I'll send you a PM.

I drove 34 miles to pick up a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate just to see what all the fuss was about with mechanical keyboards.

I made this decision an hour after being on Geekhack.

WTF?? 34 miles, to where?

[Shogunner]

Not a keyboard, but I once bought a huge 52" TV on sale just to realize when I brought it home that it was only 720p (they had a bulk order or something so they didn't come with the fancy retail boxes. So I had to lug it back to Fry's the next day.

That was how we got my childhood dog... pet upgrade!
Mom took me to the pet store to buy hamster food, stayed when I went to Gamestop.
She came to get me 5 minutes later... "Guess what?"

That was 13 years ago. He had to get put down in 09. RIP best buddy

My wife and I went to the rifle range one weekend and got there two hours before they opened, so we went into a strip mall across the street where there was a pet store.  "Oh, let's look at the puppies while we wait for the range to open".  Penelope was the size of two Deathadder mice stacked on top of each other and we started playing with her in a little pen in the store.  Don't play with puppies in a pet store to kill time.  You see the result...

[ReAzem]

Lol I love the deathadder comparisim

Half the **** I own computer related was purchased drunk.  The latest has been those cheap little RC helicopters.  
RC Heli= drink > fly > crash > drink > order another > drink > hangover > drink > RC Heli arrives > drink > crash....etc
