when one buys an item and feels regret about the purchase soon thereafter. while buyer's remorse is normally restricted to expensive purchases that have probably busted the buyer's budget, this sentiment can also occur when a person buys a totally useless and inappropriate item.
This is not to be confused with winner's curse.

Karl: Chris has a serious case of buyer's remorse coming up pretty soon.
Ryan: Really? What makes you say that?
Karl: He just bought a silly ass Dontrelle Marlins jersey just bc it costs $30. Wait until he realizes that instead of buying something that will only make him look stupid if he ever actually wears it, he could have just saved; that dude loves saving money.

Get the buyer's remorse mug.A baffling medical condition caused by overexposure to the Emmy nominated hit show starring Michael C. Hall.
This debilitating disorder affects people of all age, race, gender and sexual orientation and is most common in those who neglected to watch episodes when they actually aired on Showtime. Most victims instead chose to watch all 42 episodes at once in a short window of time on a Mac or a PC. Initial symptoms include nausea and vomiting, but can lead to more serious conditions such as Dexter Episode Viewing Remorse. Call your doctor right away if DEVR or any attributed symptoms persist beyond 24 hours.

Get the Tattoo Remorse mug.PC game designer of 1990s fame, John Romero was the genius/jackanape that introduced us to Wolfenstein3D, DOOM, and Quake.
When not designing new methods of carrying out FPS carnage or dismemberment, he was attending to his rich, luxurious, flowing, hair which, given his near-rockstar status at the time, was not considered homoerotic in the least.
Then... came the infamous and career-destroying FPS-mediocrity that we remember as Daikatana.
Released three years behind schedule, and only after burning through two game engines and over one hundred employees, Daikatana effectively closed an era of PC-gaming, and signaled John Romero's fall from Godhood.
Nevertheless, John Romero's notoriety continues to live on through the power of the Internet -- and the unceasing efforts of meme humorists.
