Drunk Purchases?
 

Just screwed up and bought a 2WD Slash VXL. I've got so much other crap I need to spend my money on and realized what I had done just after I clicked "submit order". Then I realized this might make for an interesting thread, so anyone else care to share your drunk buys (RC related or not)?

I don't drink, so there's no personal stories to tell, I do however have a couple cousins (that are brothers too) that were known to do that. One bought one of those plasma lamp things and I think a 3 piece sectional while drunk and one of his younger brothers would get hammered on Christmas Eve then go and do his Christmas shopping..........I guess Christmas morningwas always interesting, nobody knew what they were going to find in his presents to them...including him!

I can do that while totally sober...

And I have. I'm not from the US so all the stuff I want I have to convert the price according to the exchange rate so I'm like $125 doesn't seem that much how much can it be in rands then I click it and then it's plus postage so I'm like $30 seems reasonable for postage and click it then its $155 which really doesn't seem that much until I convert it on Google and it is R1210.50 which is about R1000 more than I can afford...

Sometimes I get close. I've learned to resist the impulse. Probably saved me thousands of dollars.

Made me think of this.

Me and my old roommate stopped at Taco bell on the way home from the bar one night. Bought 50 soft tacos. Each. Woke up the next morning with tacos everywhere! In the bathroom, tub, kitchen, laundry room, patio, in the couch cushions, even in the fish tank (hey fish like tacos right?).

I dont drink for simple reason i do stupid stuff when i do. I have read lots of drunk posts on different forums drunk people post funny shit and then cant find it later lol.

Re: Drunk Purchases?
 

Yea, that's kind of crossing a boundary there.

My general rule of thumb is if I'm drinking, I don't get online. period. No RCC, facebook- nothing. When I managed a LHS, I had this customer that was Johnny tight wallet when he was in the store. He was always in there sober while he was on the clock. Once he got home, however, he'd get shitfaced and go crazy ordering RC stuff online. I remember he bought 2 TRex helicopters, a zenoah powered 1/4 scale boat, and a blinged out Tmaxx from ebay... with no idea he'd done it. In one night, he blew over 5K. He didn't know until all the stuff showed up on his doorstep. Pretty sure his wife put him in rehab shortly after.

The taco post made this all worth it, because fish do, indeed, like tacos.

Re: Drunk Purchases?
 

I do buy rc stuff when drunk but the best was when I bought an accuair system for my bagged truck. I didnt know I screwed up untill I checked my e mails... ouch.....

I love this chit chat forum,always makes me laugh.I like to have a few cocktails as much as the next guy but the older I get the more I realize how stupid it makes some people.I know a few people that completely loose their self control when they drink,it is really annoying.Angry drunks are even worse.Some people can handle their booze,others can't.You gotta figure out which category you fall into(pun intended)and act accordingly.I have many funny stories about shit that drunk people have done but the one that comes to mind is the time I took my gf and her hot cousin to a nightclub.They both got HAMMERED and I had to drive home.My gf got pissed about something and tried to step out of the car at 45 mph,dam near tore her big toe off.Silly bitches.

Cocaine. Oh...and like fish tacos.

I drunk order shit all the time. Got my son a crawler that way, then got myself another one even though I have one already... it just seemed like a good idea, just like the 20-30 RC planes that seemed like a good idea.

I once drunk ordered a couple cases of dove body wash. Granted it was a damn good deal and is easy on the skin, 65 in soap for one person at one time is a bit excessive.

My lesson appears to be cheaper than others. I don't drunk net browse anymore.

If a drunk cant hardly drive a car safely, then how does one drunk navagate a computer mouse?

Re: Drunk Purchases?
 

Hell, I don't need to be drunk, my weakness is music, between my wife and I, we have 15 guitars, vintage to customs, 3 amps, a keyboard, an iPad for digital music storage and recording and god knows how many music theory books ad music books. So I worry every time we go into a store.

Of course my RC habit is bad too.

Re: Drunk Purchases?
 

I can relate- I have probably 6 or 7 guitars I don't even touch and STILL almost bought another Les Paul last night while drinkin Just Chill with Jack Daniels Honey in it. The black LP would look great sitting in my living room not being used, just like the other ones... lol "thumbsup"

Dodged that whole thing and just bought another 1:1 truck instead.

Re: Drunk Purchases?
 

in my drinking days it would get bad....I never bought over the net but I remember days that I'd wake up and see the crap I bought the night before....things like 3/4" chain and a clevis that I still have no use for, think the pin diameter is around 2".

it wasn't really the drunk purchases that kicked my ass, it was getting hammered and working on my truck. the day I got my 4" exhaust in, I started drinking and then the next day I start it up....I'd gotten as far as putting the down pipe on, then decided that I needed a new stereo in there. so either I got a ride or I drove 30 miles with a torn apart interior and nothing but the down pipe for an exhaust :lmao: strange thing is the stereo wiring was perfect and somewhere along the line I rotated tires as well.
