I am a sucker when it comes to spending money. I only spend on something I truly believe I need it. And I buy stuff only if they exceed VFM and that too on deals. Recent examples include buying Moto X only after 2nd gen came down, and the price dropped to 66% of original price.

I wouldn't say spending money on poster of Back to the Future was a dumbest thing I paid for, but definitely the closest I came to spending money which probably wasn't really necessary.

Though in an alternate universe, I would have spend a lot on old arcade game, probably an old arcade video game machine right in my room, and a collection of superheroes toys and every science fiction books that I can ever find.

Full collection of House MD blu ray.

I probably would not rewatch it. It'll probably lie in my bookshelf untouched, unopened. At least 95% people who would look at it won't even know what it is.
From all aspects it'll be unwise buy

But I've this in indomitable urge to have the full collection with me. If I ever have such money to spend, I'm sure gonna do it

I think the topic is of something that you already do and not wish to do.

For me it has to be packaged food. I buy so many new appearances on super market shelves but half the time either don't like it or just never get around to eat it.

Not sure if it's dumb or not, but I spend quite a lot of money on books; in fact, entire series of books which I have already read, just to stock them up in my bookshelf at home. I like the feeling of having a library of sorts to myself, even if it means I might not read the same books again. Weird, eh?

at least physical books are dumb. Take up too much space. Keep getting those as well.

you should probably buy a car if you have 8k+ to spend on cabs alone.

Buying products internationally without proper research and then finding out that there is no warranty beyond one month of purchase.

They are scratch resistant and the word durable is mentioned because of that. But, they are extremely brittle. And aren't able to withstand a fall from 11-12 inches max. It's something they don't mention on there site.
And before you think otherwise. I know these facts because I have one that developed a crack on the bezel.
