It's good for my wallet if nothing else

Other impulsive neuroweirds/OCD overpreparers: *block Amazon, Etsy and eBay on their computers, limit how much money they carry to avoid impulse purchases, lock away their credit cards to avoid overdraft*

Me: *agonises over purchasing common house-hold items like pot holders, towel hooks and a stepladder, longingly gazing at them at shops both online and off, until finally ripping off the bandaid the second one is on sale at a shop despite transporting it being a problem*

(Which is to say that after three years of desperately needing one, I finally own a stepladder -- the alltogether third seat in my entire apartment.)

(Now if only I could bring myself to buy those tablecloth pins, hand weights and bottle opener within this decade, we'd be solid.)

THEN AGAIN sometimes I walk into a store and walk out with one of those 40€ Finlayson designer rag rugs b/c I couldn't stop myself, it was very pretty, I'm gonna put it on my balcony and then maybe get another cheaper one from the local summer market just so I don't feel such burning embarrasment about having fallen for the marketing hype.

LMAO our buying habits are uncannily similar.😅

We impulse-bought one of those last autumn - one of the bigger ones though, I think it cost even more than 40€.
