I did, a while back I purchased a small 'S-Biner' I thought it was cool. I have only recently been using it, and to be fairly honest, it's quite useful, stick my USB on it and other random things, and then clip to my keys.

I also randomly bought a watch, just a cheap £50 fcuk watch, I have a fake SLR Mclaren watch that was 15 Euros whilst on holiday, both random and needless, yet I always wear the fcuk...

I bought a £100 Husky Mini Fridge, no use, just thought it was cool, and now, it feels I can't live without it in my 'office'.
 
Yes, an S-Biner! Which I have found to be incredibly useful for taking my car key on and off the ring to put in the wetsuit pocket when surfing. Unexpectedly useful :p
 
Had to google what an S-Biner was :/

My Transformer Tablet definitely fits the bill in here. Bought on a wim, gets used so much that I don't turn my laptop on now...
 
A few years ago I seen a box of condoms on special offer. I was in a dry spell but I bought them anyway. They sat there for almost a year without being used.
 
I bought an XBOX360 controller for Windows a couple of years ago but only took it out of the packaging last month, now I use it serveral times a week.
Would make an interesting side topic, the longest length of time people have had something still in packaging before actually using it (as opposed to just sitting unopened forever - I've got some flatpack furniture from 2008 still waiting to be built for example!)

Got a couple of old replica football shirts that I'm wearing more these days, used to feel a bit self-conscious wearing them but don't really care any more.

Micro HiFis, I randomly bought one with DAB radio for £40 on a whim while shopping for something else in a big high street chain as I was really impressed by the Speakers. This lives in the dining room. I then bought another (different) one because it had an ipod docking station, I can't really remember what I intended to do with it (sucker for a 'bargain' I think) but that has ended up in the kitchen so I can put some tunes on while cooking. Kinda annoying though because the speakers aren't as good as the other one.

home cinema surround sound and amp, haven't really taken advantage of it until the last three months and now i use it to its fullest. very pricey so glad it has started becoming some use :(
 
I bought an iPad, used it for about a week. It's now back in it's box under my bed. I'll never use the damn thing again. What a waste of £400, not having a job also makes me regret buying it even more.
