Defining Insantity

Mistreatedbycs — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 14:21:28 GMT

Ordering the same exact top (after the 1st one was returned) in a different color and expecting different results

(Yes, that was me) LOL

Silly things we do when stressed. YOU?

Totally relate. I sold a BMak handbag and bought it again online. I know it was mine b/c of pen markings on the liner at the exact places. Go figure.

Does this qualify?

I just bought a straightening brush from the other shopping channel and tried it and am on the fence.

Then what do I see...they have a newer improved one with tourmaline, unicorns and fairies, blah, blah and I just ordered it.

I think it may be some magical, miracle brush that solves all my hair issues, now that's insanity. LOL

Luckily I can still return the other one as I just got it but it irks me that they come out with a newer model just days from when the other one was on air.

@Mistreatedbycs

I have no idea what the title of your thread has to do with the definition of insanity.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I've purchased Maybelline Full and Soft mascara twice in recent years based on rave reviews, remembering full well that it flaked on me the first time. And of course it did the second time too

Insanity can be different things to different people. Like the OP said order the same top twice and expect a different result is insane. My obsession with shoes is insane. Different strokes for different folks....This is a fun thread.

For me, it's ordering makeup from shopping channels. I know it's all hype and smoke and mirrors. I know I am buying into a sales pitch and I'm going to be disappointed. I know it. And yet....every now and then....I do it anyway.

I love it! A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and that DOES include a lot of makeup!

I would not even want to show you what my makeup drawer looks like.

Buying, & getting rid of, bread machines, three times. It's fun to use for a few weeks, then it becomes a nuisance taking up too much space on the countertop. So in the cabinet it goes, forgotten, until I need that space for something else. Then it gets carted off to Goodwill or ARC. Yes, it took me 3 times. DUH

I can't even begin to tell you how many things we have two or even three of because DH can't find where he put the 1st one.

I do that all of the time on QVC! Then I look in the closet and I have the same thing in there.

I can buy something and then even a year or two later I can pick out from anywhere what I bought. Not because my memory is so good but because what I like, I REALLY like and I'd pick it again! It isn't a quality I'm proud of because it's embarrassing!

People will look in my closet and say, "Do you know you have two of this and that?" That's when my nose starts to grow when I say, "Oh! Yes! Well they're different sizes" (and they aren't).

@Mary Bailey Actually my sweet youngest daughter was there a few months ago. She went to the baseball game. She lives in Denver but wanted to see a baseball game in Chicago.....just because....

She's been there before (friend lives there). She said it's a nice city and she loves to visit the Breweries and the wineries. This weekend she and a friend have been visiting Wineries somewhere in the Colorado area. That kid gets around....
