From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.Groucho Marx

Needless things
One of the questions inspired by the "Tag der Arbeit" discussion... It is "why" that I`m most curious about, but that is difficult to answer and almost impossible to answer frankly. Well...

Do you often buy things you don`t really need?

RE: Needless things
I used to but I do my best to avoid buying needless things. In a way, the inflation in my country and the difficulties to make ends meet help you to keep on the right track.

Jacek, you can be laconic!
Did you vote plump?
Thanks!

I voted right after you did, so it was easy to see through me. Otherwise, look for me among the two mavericks up there...

Mavericks are the most interesting!

And of course I must apologize... Not the first time with me, either... I should have added one more option, namely "It depends"... There are many kinds of needless things, but this poll is about those one buys just because they are "cheap" or because one "doesn`t belong" if one doesn`t buy (own) them.
Still, I`m really curious about the "why". Some braves here?
