Most rediculous thing your H wanted to buy

[nursewife]

The thread on MM made me laugh. I'm thankful mine doesn't have anything too rediculous. I think his work is a long horn skull for our rec room wall. He wanted us to look more redneck ya'll. Levi (I named him) is now happily tucked away in our cold cellar where he won't scare small children.

Anyone else have an addition?

Our freaking boat! I don't like boating but go cause dh and dd love it and we have fun even though I spend most of the day in my chair turned backwards to watch them tube. It is freaking expensive. It is in the shop because the lower unit on the motor seized. Going to cost $2100 to fix the damn thing. We've already replaced a battery, the ignition, internal padding I guess you could call it, along with having to refab the captain chairs since the boards underneath rotted and the chairs couldn't turn. It's a fucking money put but dh loves it. Thankfully my in laws always cover 1/2 the expenses and pay for storage which is way more than we pay for insurance. But I hate the fucking boat.

Almost everything he buys is ridiculous to me at the onset. Audio systems, expensive furniture, cars. Yet almost all of these things I end up using or liking. My Sephora purchases, unfortunately, are of no benefit to him.

There was an event where FI had to rent a tux, and he wanted to rent it with a cape...I wish I was joking.

Electric cello
Full length trench coat
Track ball mouse
Various kitchen gadgets and bizarre foods.

In reality, I don't understand 90% of what he wants to buy, but that doesn't mean it's ridiculous, usually it just means he's thinking like 50 levels over my head. /sad trombone

A zero turn mower. Our yard is so tiny!

[vicky]

I'm sorry, I can't get over your ridiculous spelling.

[lilafowler]

Too many to list...

DH would NOT stop talking about getting a deep fryer, so I agreed to let him put it on the wedding registry, thinking there was no way someone would buy it. They did. >.<

[WOT?*]

We have a nine year old miter saw in our garage that hasn't been used in nine years. He bought it to put up chair railing in GD1's room when she moved in with us as a baby and it hasn't been used since.

Every electronic thingy under the sun. But then I'm guilty of spending on every crappy crafty thingy under the sun lately.

A dehydrator to make his own beef jerky.

It will never get ysed, much like the miniature version of an old fashioned pop corn cart (with wheels) popper, the waffle iron, and the ice cream  maker.

This is why I have a replica Americas Cup sailboat in my living room. Neither of us sail.

We have one of these, as well as a meat grinder in case he ever wants to make his own ground meat or sausage. Yup. both are just taking up space.

YOu guys are weird! The deep fryer is awesome. I haven't used it in a long time, but when I want homemade fries or chicken nuggets, it rocks!

My DH never buys anything ridiculous. He basically never buys anything that isn't absolutely necessary. The one exception is his iPad. iPad 2, that will probably never be upgraded to a newer version.

[wambam]

My H's dad works for a prestigious university so he got a fancy education FOR FREE, y'all. He still had a job in college and so he had quite a chunk of change saved up when he graduated. Dude actually thought about buying a Dodge Viper as his everyday vehicle. I squashed that like a bug.

[McGavin]

A 1977 Austin Mini.

Although, secretly, I think it's pretty awesome but I don't like to encourage him too much. He's owned about 12 vechicles since we met 8 years ago.

[Deleted]

Everything.

[psychmom]

Ditto Papie. H doesn't ever buy anything. Which sucks because I'm the only one who looks like a Spendy Wendy. Lol

[Deleted]

He bought a shot gun without ever having hunted a day in his life. A freaking top of the line, beautiful, sportsman's gun.

Derp.

He has since killed a few doves with it on a work retreat. They are now sitting in my freezer. I hate the taste of dove.

He doesn't keep ammo in the house though, so meh.

[CurlyQ284]

The juicer. He was going to do the juice fast and lose tons of weight. My mom got it for him for his birthday and its still in the box.

[Deleted]

A $500 skateboard. Oh wait, he bought that.

[shostakovich]

My H doesn't really do this. He is very frugal, and VERY analytical about his purchases, to the point where he will hem and haw about buying a practical, useful item (currently, the iPhone 5s) for months - doing research, asking for opinions of people that own it, reading Consumer Reports articles, talking to me about it incessantly. When he finally does buy the item, I'm usually singing hallelujah in my head because I don't have to hear about it anymore.

[cleo29]

H doesn't buy random stuff that he doesn't use or need.

and, it's ridiculous not rediculous. I say this in a helpful way.

He bought two sets of skis this summer. He has never skied a day in his life. He bought a beginner set and a way advanced set, for when he gets all awesome at skiing in a month or so...ugh.

Lolololol.
