Things that you bought that were a MASSIVE disappointment

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Average, verging on downright nasty...

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Destiny on the Xbox and, in hindsight, a Peugeot.

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Oysters.

 

[fat old seagull]

Biggest (or smallest) disappointments

By far, when I saw the size of other boys thingies!
Not by coincidence, that might also have been my wifes.

 

[Insel affe]

A wedding ring

 

[happypig]

£150 worth of makeup and lingerie for the wife to make her look prettier. In future I'll spend £3.99 on 4 cans of Stella to get the same effect.

 

[studio150]

Datsun 120Y

Lots of rust and the bonnet had a habit of springing open so you had to stop to slam it back down.

 

[Nibble]

Netflix.

This is only a very small thing but it rates very high on my disappointment chart and goes back a number of years.

For years I'd heard about Hershey bars and how wonderful they were from various Americans and tv shows. I looked forward to buying one but never saw one until my first visit to the USA

WTF? they have to be the nastiest most disgusting chocolate bar it has ever been my misfortune to eat.

Do people really like that shit? Clearly they do.

They make Kit Kat bars under license and they are equally disgusting - I always bring a load of the proper ones back from the UK, our secretary admitted they are way better than the Hershey crap

I wanted to buy a Wii, but before I did I tried one. I'm glad I tried first - rubbish. So if I'd blindly bought one, it would have been this.

 

[carlzeiss]

Triumph bonneville t140 750cc

 

[James Bond's body double]

The latest cream egg's just not the same.

 

[El Presidente]

Datsun 120Y

Lots of rust and the bonnet had a habit of springing open so you had to stop to slam it back down.

I bought one of those for £50 and sold it a year later for a tenner.

Great motor, never let me down.

 

[El Presidente]

Your mum.

 

[Rugrat]

Chromecast HDMI streamer which never worked so just threw it away.

User error?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Mike Yaxley wished he had never splashed out on built up shoes .

View attachment 77695

He did a nice line in magnetic dartboards though

That seems standard for Apple. Every product of theirs that I've had seems to go wrong a few months after the year's warranty ends

Absolute balderdash - my iMac's gone wrong whilst still IN warranty. Will you apologise for casting aspersions?

 

[Bakero]

Chromecast HDMI streamer which never worked so just threw it away.

I love my Chromecast. Great product.

Why didn't you take it back to the shop?

Your wife has a boys thingy? that is dissapointing.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Your wife has a boys thingy? that is dissapointing.

And it sounds like it is bigger than his thingy!
