| Have you ever "thrown away your money"?
Basically, you buy something or paid for whatever and then you realize "wtf, I just wasted $xxx on that?"
Be it something off Craigslist or whatever item where there are no refunds.
Let's hear some tales.
I.e. bad electronics? Clothing that doesn't fit? Incompatible computer goods? Stuff for your car? Cheap hookers? Buying dinner/drinks in hopes of getting some play but ending up getting nada?

-We paid extra for the outdoor zakuzzi that was fucking broken
-someone kept on reporting us for being too loud when we weren't even in our room
-deposit was refunded late
-List kinda goes on and on and on.
On the bright side our guides were awesome (Melissa and Neil) and I won 50/50
Overall we all hated the trip.

I don't think these activities listed as money thrown away... they are all like paid lessons...
You only learn how to do xx or yy after you had enough lessons...
With that being said, there are stuff that you simply don't learn...
Example: Two days ago at McD... I said to myself, "I gotta stop eating these craps... for same price, I could be eating something else."
Today at office...
Co-worker: yo, wanna go grab a quick bite at McD?
Me: hell ya!
