Your Spouse's Most Hated Purchase

So, today's the last day to buy seats that will be removed from Detroit's Tiger Stadium.

I bought two for $278.

My wife? Not impressed. At all.

What's the one purchase you made and you're wife or husband or significant other just couldn't understand, didn't appreciate or was just plain angry with?

This tops my/our list.

Season tickets to a sports team. I had no intention of going to many of the games, but as an investment they've more than paid for themselves twice over each year.

Is scalping legal in Utah?

 

Re: You're Spouse's Most Hated Purchase

This is my next purchase, simply to sell them and make some cash.

 

Re: You're Spouse's Most Hated Purchase

Yes. It's legal.

Need four tickets to the Cavs game? You can make your pitch to the CPD writer while you're there.

The purchase also gets me on the early list for various concerts, touring shows and things like the circus. I've bought and sold lots of prime seats to different things. I'm a scalper, but a small-time one.

Not too long ago Mrs. OOP spent over $400 on a lense for her camera. That has bought me plenty of slack in this area.

My replica NWA World's Heavyweight title -- the belt worn by the likes of Harley Race, Terry Funk and Ric Flair.

Hands down.

I want someone to say, 'Her engagement ring.'

My last "getaway" to Vegas with my buddies.

"Gee $$ that would have helped the kids' college funds don't you think?"

"Umm......"

 

Re: You're Spouse's Most Hated Purchase

Those trips get pretty hard to justify when you have kids...
