"Typically with decent sized purchases, I:
- pick something out as soon as I get to the store
- wander around the rest of the store and do my casual shopping
- think a little harder about whether I need the thing I came for on my way to the checkout.
Sometimes I buy the thing, sometimes I realize that I can wait and buy it online or used, sometimes I realize I'm an idiot for wanting this right now and put it back and out of my head.
Sometimes (like Timmus above) I also put stuff back when the act of purchasing it pisses me off too much."
"I thought the only reason Pringles labels themselves as "Crisps" in America is because Lays sued the hell out of P&G when they first came on the market in order to prevent them from being called Chips."
"Another + for leathermen: they give you knives worth damn.
I've gone through many a micra and the blades have always been sharp from day one through day "damn I lost the thing again."
I want a skeletool but know the same thing will happen in a week, so no sense throwing 60$ out the window."
