Started smoking cigarettes when I was 16.
I was perfectly aware how shitty the tobacco industry is, how addictive nicotine is, all its harmful effects, and how gross of a money sink it is. I did it anyway because I thought it looked relaxing.

Marrying my wife after letting her plan the wedding. It alone put us $30K in debt, We were already around $40K in debt...all from her excessive spending prior to us being together.
Talk about stupid...
But it turned better than I could have ever expected. We're mostly debt free now, and the only reason we have any debt is because I don't want to pay it off immediately since it's a 0% interest loan and the money is contributring to earning interest. So, I consider myself extremely fortunate for how it all turned out.
I still maintain my boycott of Amazon over the one-click patent.
It's a hassle to buy stuff online without using Amazon. The patent expired years ago. Probably no other person is still boycotting them over it (not that it was ever an effective boycott in the first place). But I just can't bring myself to buy from them.
I still try to boycott Amazon, for a myriad of reasons. I don't think you're stupid for doing it!
This isn't stupid, it is righteous
