Friend has no impulse control
I know a few people who genuinely have a hard time controlling their impulses.
They are prone to stuffing their faces with terrible food, lounging around lazily rather than getting work done, and making so many misinformed purchases. It’s all really quite stressful to hear about. One of my distant friends has the very worst impulse control out of everyone, though. He proved it to us just recently when we went out and bought radiant heated flooring on a whim. The trouble all began when he was watching Desperate Housewives and they had extravagant radiant heated flooring installed throughout their entire mansion. Of course, these upscale ladies had marble put in to cover the hydronic heating pipes, and the result was so beautiful that my friend couldn’t stop thinking about the new heating method. In the episode they talked profusely about how warm and perfectly comfortable the new heated flooring felt. Apparently it was incredibly evenly heated and there were no cold pockets of air in the house whatsoever. Well, all of this information was too enticing for my buddy to handle. Next thing we knew, he had called everyone up to brag about his new alternative heating method. Apparently, he had called the nearest HVAC company and immediately purchased all the equipment necessary for high end radiant heated flooring when the episode of Real Housewives had finished. He was bragging up and down, telling everyone who would listen about how comfortable and amazingly comfortable his home would be once the heater was installed. There was one problem though. He had maxed out his credit cards on the radiant heated flooring that day, but forgot to pay for the cost of installation.
