I will never buy that...

My sister bought a mini van for her kids the other day. She has three kids and I’m sure many agree — while it’s not a sexy car, it’s a very functional vehicle. Not to mention, we grew up with mini vans so I understand why people buy them. Because of this, I had a funny and unexpected conversation with my partner today. He initiated the convo by saying — ”no matter what happens, can we not buy a mini van?”. He brought up the topic thinking I might strongly disagree but instead, I laughed out loud. I realized we all have some future goals to dodge and this was one simple opinion he’s obviously entitled to have. So his answer: He will never buy [a mini van]. My answer: I will never buy [cigarettes]. Whether it’s a strong opinion or a silly item, how would you fill in this blank?

I will never buy a car with a car payment (my goal is to only ever buy used cars). I love this question! So much fun.

Actually oddly enough the mini van They provide to many blindspots for me (I once drove one into a pond cuz I could not see-was not a deep pond but still) I’m also big on the mini van doesnt fit my lifestyle like a truck will

I will never purchase mayonnaise, its evil cousins Miracle Whip, aioli, tartar sauce, fry sauce (for those of you in Utah ?), or Thousand Island dressing. Mayonnaise is Satan’s Sauce, an evil and pestilent condiment straight out of the heart of darkest Tartarus - eschewed by all right-thinking, decent folk. Can you tell that I loathe, despise, cannot stand, excoriate, detest, dislike mayonnaise? ?

I will never buy a ladies face-shaver disguised as a “hair eraser” from the television. Who are they trying to fool?

Oh man. My SO and I saw a mini-van the other day with a bumper sticker on it that read "I used to be cool" and it RESONATED as I tucked myself into bed by 9pm on a Saturday night last week. My "never" was: moving to the suburbs- which we did this year.

I don’t buy things online until I read the most critical reviews. Often, that’s where I find better, less expensive alternatives. Like happy families, glowing reviews are all alike. I want to know what could go wrong.
