The Golden Pants Of Regret

What was the last thing you regretted buying?

I bought some pants from Next the other day. (I'm a male human). I thought they were black with yellowish tan patterns on. Turned out in better light that the band round the top with the word "NEXT" on was gold. Actual shiny gold. It takes a certain type of person to wear gold pants. I'm sure that Anton Du Beck wears nothing else but I don't feel I can live up to the standards of exuberance that my pants are asking for.
I've already tried the on so now have to wear them in rotation with my more demure pants for the next 15-20 years.

Enjoy your blingy pants.

The last thing I regretted buying was a turkey sandwhich from sainsburys. I don't like turkey and for whatever reason had decided maybe it would be nice in a sandwhich.

I feel your pain. I'd be worried that I'd bend down and show my glittery gold Next band and condem myself to years of piss taking.

Embrace the gold pants OP. Find your inner Anton.

The last thing I regretted buying was a car wash for my car, as I then drove through a massive muddy puddle on the way home.

Exactly.
And I should have avoided them due to the word "NEXT". It's like my pants are expecting to manage a queue.

Maybe this is the start of a new era. You'll start to get into a gold frame of mind and then this time next year you'll be posting from the Maldives drinking champagne cocktails. And it'll all be thanks to your next pants.

I bought a pink satin dress with giant leopards on it for a party. I knew it was going to be a bit over the top but the shoulders. I looked like Joan Collins. It was made worse when I got to the party and everyone else was wearing jeans. That'll be going back on vinted.

I'd be more worried they were issuing an invitation!

Ever practical... Can you colour the 'NEXT' in with a marker pen matching the background? I've been known to colour my skin in, before, to disguise a hole in dark clothes...

Keep them for festive Christmas pants only.
