I've bought heaps of things that I didn't use in the way of clothing and c.d's, but I'm a repeat offender for tamagotchi's and virtual pets.
I went through a phase where I bought one, got sick of it, bought another one, got sick of it, bought another one, etc. about 5 times within a matter of a couple of months... I was around 16 at the time and I have absolutely no idea why I kept doing it... to this day I still have to stop myself from buying them- whenever I see a kid with one around their neck it tempts me... I have absolutely no idea what it is about these things that just makes me want to buy, buy, buy, even when I KNOW in my mind that I wouldn't make use of it or would get sick of it as soon as it died the first time around.
Luckily these days I have the sense to keep away from the useless pieces of junk!

Im a sucker for anything thats new, my most recent useles purchase was the "Swiffer Carpet Flicker" waste of time and money.
...Interesting question. Prompted me to go to my gadget drawer to research the answer. As I have been unable to say NO to many pampered chef parties and I have two drawers full of gadgets. I have grapefruit cutters, orange pelers, small whisks, large whisks, can strainers, measuring spoons, assorted knives and rubber bottle openers thing-a-ma-jigs.... The one gadget that is the most useless, is the one that you always forget to use until AFTER your hands are a sticky mess. Then you don't know where you put it anyway. It's a "thingy" to get olives or pickles out of the jar. Takes longer to remember it and find it than it does to just get the pickle out with your fingers.
A garlic press - I just buy the little jars of garlic that are already chopped or minced. I've never used it. It sets there sad and lonely next to my juice reamer.
a tube that removes the peel from garlic
My husband bought me some gadget to peel boiled eggs. After reading the instructions I decided this was one of those situations where the old regular peel the egg method may take longer but was much, much simpler. Never used it!

The swifter wet jet, still had the original bottle of fluid when it went to the garage sale 2 years later.
