Spent $85 on a last minute day-of train ticket when my buddy bailed on the drive to Portland
My friend flaked on our ride up to Portland last Friday so instead of sitting home mad I grabbed an $85 Amtrak seat at 6am and got there by noon. The trip cost me more than the concert ticket but it saved the whole weekend since I met up with other friends who were already up there. What's the dumbest amount you've paid to save a plan that was already half dead?
