Reminds me of stupid me after I received a ginormous family inheritance I went through a phase of buying every stupid little thing that I would’ve never bought before. It was sometime around the implosion of the John McAfee empire debacle I was vaguely aware that something was going awry with him & the company but I was lost in my own little world buying post-it notes at a Staples store.
At the checkout counter the employee brought my attention to a small display of heavily discounted McAfee antivirus software something-something for only $5 and all my conscious brain knew at the time was
“Wow, didn’t that used to cost $40-$75? and McAfee has been in the news lately. I have no idea what’s going on but yes I will pay $5 for this thing.” 🤦🏼♀️
It was completely useless and I doubt I ever took it out of the package before eventually throwing it away.
No fair. This technique is for those of us who need to escape torturous misery. You’re just hoarding happiness at this point!
