Already got made fun of by some teenagers with more fragile egos and less expendable income than me.
Could've just asked and I would've let them try!

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Good for you!
Reminds me of one of my very few impulse buys.
I'm a typical male. When going to a store, I go straight in, get item, pay & straight out.
Was going to a store early to get something. On my way back to the register, I saw a console and racing wheel set up in front of a big TV. Normally, there would be a swarm of kids around it, and I'm way too mature to be playing games.
But it was early, and no kids, and barely anyone in the store.
I sat down, and 5 minutes later I walked out of the store with the original item I went for, and a complete racing sim setup. I've had years of fun ever since and zero regrets.
I still very rarely impulse buy, but am a fan of "Treat yo self!" Philosophy. You deserve it!
