Waste of moneyI once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
Thanks to golddust for the suggestion

X-Men Trading Card Game - Starter PackMy mum forked out no less that £40 for this boxed card deck, playing board and rule pamphlet. I have all I need, I have read and understood the rules, found a friend who also has the essentials and met up with him to play a game.
It doesn't seem to work, the game play is very awkward, I've never played any of these trading card games before and it's all just a bit stilted and pointless.
Then we figure out we need booster packs. Which aren't on sale. Anywhere. When they do finally go on sale some weeks (probably even months) later, neither of us care about the game anymore and have moved on to something else.
So sorry, mum. You spent £40 for me to have a 10-minute awkward card game when you could have spent £1.50 on a regular deck, taught me Blackjack and given me the rest to gamble with.
