Dumb Crap I Buy

In the ultimate act of sheer laziness, I just bought a wet to dry hair straightener. My thinking was this: it's cold out, leaving the house with wet hair is no fun, blow dryers are awfully heavy and cumbersome...this'll be easier! Completely ignoring the fact that I have straight hair and blow drying is not actually difficult, I was roped in by the "wet to dry in 2 seconds" claim that came along with the $150 ISO straightener I ordered.

As it turns out, your hair needs to be almost 90% dry before you use the straightener. While this is useful for ladies with naturally curly or frizzy hair as it allows them to skip the blow drying altogether and use the straightener before their hair starts going crazy, it is useless for me. I suppose that's what I get for being a moron.
