Calling all poors, what is the most poorish shooting sports thing you've ever done?

Let me be the first to say that I am a poor. And poors do shit that makes them even poorer by not following the well established rule of "buy once, cry once."
So what project/modification/rabbit hole have you personally chased that embodies the poors ethos?
Some of my examples:
I poored (pun intended) close to $1200 on a Ruger 10/22 by slapping various Kidd upgrades on it when in fact it would have been easier and more time efficient to just shell out $$ for a Kidd Supergrade.
I made a mirage shield for my "ELR Savage rifle" out of venetian blind slats and Velcro. The turd-a-riffic concoction messed with my barrel harmonics and after the barrel heated up, the glue from the Velcro melted onto my barrel discoloring and branding it with a tenacious residue akin to the Scarlet Letter, but instead of an "A," it is a "P," a tell-tale mark of a poor.
I contemplated purchasing a Pelican case to protect my "precious," a Garmin Xero C1 and wanted to buy a Leofoto arca rail attachment to mount it to my rifle for getting reloading data, but saw the folly of this overly complex, bulky, and heavy set up when the tripod deployment is so simple and flexible in application. An overly protective case or covering is another tell-tale sign of a poor. Yes, I'm looking at you poors with OtterBox 30 megaton protection case for your phones.
What example of poor behavior are you guilty of? Bonus points for photos.
