I purchased lunch for a friend who proceeded to berate me about not getting him dessert. Self explanatory why I regret the purchase in the first place.
Purchases you regret

You regret not using the money to instead buy him a pie...
...and then toss it in his face.
Pretty much, yes.
Realistically, sharing six classes and being stuck with him all day made me afraid to do anything. We remained 'friends' until his expulsion. He latched himself to me and I mostly put up with it. I was struggling to make friends in that school, he noticed, and said I would have nowhere to turn if I made him upset.
It killed me inside, but buying breakfast/lunch for him felt easier than the alternative. He was exceedingly explosive and violent.
Well, that certainly paints a far different picture than what I had in mind from your initial post. He sounds absolutely dreadful. So glad you no longer have to endure that.
The initial post wasn't precisely in detail. I'm not accustomed to bringing it up, especially on a public forum. Due to legal documents he's no longer allowed near the school property. Nothing to do with me personally, but there had been lengthy manifestos of violence against staff.
Getting a bit off topic here and I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll leave it at that.

I regret purchasing a cushion I bought yesterday. It was only $5.
I thought it would look nice on my sofa.
Now I have a cushion that I’m not sure what to do with.

I regret purchasing a lot of the junk food items I sometimes buy, because they're obviously not good for me and I'm trying to be healthier but I buy them and end up eating them anyway and it puts me further and further away from my health and fitness goals, so yeah I need to stop that.
I spent like 60€ on Pokémon Duel (mobile game) premium currency (gatcha roll) purchases, it was a fun game at that time but soon after that the devs started to really ruin it. It got so bad that I quit and about a year after me quitting the servers went down and the game wasn't playable anymore.
Yeah I just spent a bit more than the price of a new Switch game, and it's not a big deal. I guess I shouldn't have supported that predatory business model though, and I monetarily supported a studio that made terrible decisions.
I have to say though, that I loved that game in the beginning. The concept was great, they just created way too broken figures that ruined the fun in the game. If I remember correctly, when I quit they suddenly started to release more and more figures where you had to collect certain sets to get their full benefits and it got literally impossible to keep up without spending money as the game was really stingy with gatcha pull currency.

I got this cute cat phone charger a while ago, it took a month to ship and when I finally got it, it doesn't work. I've tried to contact the seller for a refund multiple times and am currently going through Paypal to get my damn money back. Apparently, all stores that sell this product don't respond and the charger never works.
Another gaming one. I really regret buying Brilliant Diamond, perhaps now that I got post-game going a little less but I should definitely have read up more than I did. Even if they wanted it "lol pure" the least they should have included should have been the GWS in Jubilife, I don't recall that being some lazy update thing left out in the OG even though I could never use it at the time cause we had too good Internet security. Also they should have added proper touch screen as for Poffin Making and digging, Switch is very well capable of it and you can somewhat polish the badges anyway. Also the RNG underground is horrible.
Also if they wanted it that pure they shouldn't have included the town map flying and some other stuff either lol.

I'm gonna say the Sims: 4. LOL. I didn't buy it with the pretense that it's basically unplayable, slow, and overall boring without dishing out hundreds for the DLC that almost adds nothing or anything bare to the game. I didn't even bother buying expansions for it and I quickly grew tired of trying to run it. I've had problems with only the sims and I just dont like EA in general. I never play it anymore.
Oof. Glad I saw this before picking it up for PC. I was on the edge of ordering it

You're welcome, if you're really willing to play the Sims then I'd say go for it but I just dont think for it just on its own, especially without mods is kinda boring
Reminds me of My Sims for Wii. One of my biggest game choice regrets. I bought it since I liked the GBA (?) and DS Sims games (Urbz). But My Sims was just really boring, I played it for like a few hours to give it a chance but it felt pointless. At that time I was a teenager so I didn't have that much money.
Now I have bought some games I haven't even played (probably most adults have) but at least I know that those games are good if I ever play them. LOL

i regret buying this mystery scented squishmallow a few months ago. i bought it because i love mystery bags and had just started to get into squishmallows, and it was apparently supposed to be marshmallow scented (which i also love), but oh my god. not only did it smell nothing like marshmallows, the smell was so bad that i had to throw it away. huge waste of money. 
not my photo.
My Time at Portia on Switch. Don't get me wrong I really like this game, it's just the console ports of this game are poorly done in general. They have also released a few updates to "fix" the problems but it's still a buggy mess.
I recently bought it on my iPad (mobile version) for about the third of the cost of the Switch version and it is way better. It runs super smooth, doesn't seem to crash every other day, and also has grass textures. Touch controls take some getting used to but they work really well.
To make matters worse I bought the Switch version digitally at release so I can't resell it. The best I can do is uninstall it to make more room on my Switch I guess.
So yeah don't buy the console versions of My Time at Portia. You are way better off getting the mobile version if you want an on the go experience. I've heard the PC version is good as well, it's just being portable is more my personal preference.

I have some game purchase regrets - I tend to buy games I think look reasonably decent when they are on sale and now I have a backlog of games that I’m not particularly dying to play, so I wish I just hadn’t bought them. A lot of them only cost about $5-$10, but a have at least five I can think of so that kinda adds up. I do this with books too lol, but I digress.
Most notably I regret buying Witcher 3 on switch; it was half off around the holidays and it got good reviews so I was like why not. All the reviews said it looked/ran great on switch but personally I don’t think it looks very good at all, and I wish I had bought it for even cheaper than the switch sale price on a different console. $30 is pretty steep for a game that came out 7ish years ago, even if it does have the added benefit of being played in handheld.
I also regret buying Tetris Effect Connected on switch. The game looks great but I literally beat the main “story mode” in about two hours. Luckily I got this one on sale too, but still it was around $20 for a game I don’t really see myself playing much.

My first second-hand dress. The seller didn't exactly look over the dress beforehand and listed the quality as like-new. Then once I placed they found a damage to a detachable bow, then asked if I wanted to cancel. Since I was just looking to expand my wardrobe I accepted anyway. The dress was already listed overpriced, then no discount was even offered for the damage... Mehhh
