What really bad purchasing decision have you made? and were you able to fix your mistake, or did you just have to live with your regrets?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Laser hair removal. It was very expensive, it didn’t work well, I did not have good customer service experiences, and I ended up getting an extremely itchy skin rash just after going there for the final time. I decided to live with the regret. I suppose I could probably go back in and demand more treatments, but the thought of the skin rash keeps me away. The etiology of pityriasis rosea is unknown, so there is not really an option to confront them about it – but even if the connection isn’t real, I’ll avoid anything that might possibly have been a cause in order to keep from experiencing that torment again.
