Buying crap
When there's that special something that you absolutely must have but you know the other half will say no...

If you try to discuss why it's a necessity for you to have ANOTHER camera/pc/gizmo it'll end up as an argument and you'll not have the toys.

If you buy it without telling her, you'll have an argument about why you need it, but crucially will have your new toy to console you

Stag Do in Berlin
A mate chose to have his stag weekend in Berlin. After an afternoon of beer and football, we headed out for the night, drinking our way through a considerable amount of booze. The late night entertainment was a classy looking strip club with private dances costing 50 euros a pop. I'd apparently drunk quite a bit and when the lads were leaving I was told I "had my stripper face on" and they left me there. Now I dunno about you lot, but I'm quite bad at doing things in moderation after a few beers, especially strippers. (As an aside, it always amazes me how many strippers share a birthday and need champagne buying for them on exactly the day that I'm there)

I arrived back at the apartment we were staying in at 6am having spent all the cash I had on me (£200), withdrawn the full amount possible from the cash machine (£250) and maxxed out my credit card from empty (£800). I'd spent bloody £1250 on strippers which certainly wasn't a happy ending. Difficult one to explain to the missus.
