False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

The correct answer is decoratingThe hall needs decorating says the missus.
My thought process is like this:
I could pay a guy £500 and he'll get it done in two days
or
I could do it myself in a week and pay £50 on materials and spend the rest on beer
I obviously go for the latter. It starts well enough, but as soon as I start to tackle the stairwell it all goes to shit and I realise I've bitten off more than I can chew and don't have the correct tools for the job. After a week I surrender and pay a guy £500 to tidy up my mess.

Were you painting, or papering?Because, fair enough, papering can be a total fucking nightmare if you aren't very careful and patient.
But it is basically not possible to accidentally fuck up painting.

It is if you can't be arsed to finish the wall properly, can't cut in, don't buy enough paint and have to go out and buy more and oh look it's a different batch and the colour doesn't match......if you're a mong, basically.
I really need to finish painting my kitchen.
