The dumbest move you ever made?

Homer Buddha, the possibility of Frinks lab drew me in, I left with three hedges

Accidental purchase of blue funzo. Not zo much fun.

Lost 24 donuts accidentally rushing Apu through a seven day quest. Didn't realize I had done it until I saw the thumb over a Kwik-E-Mart. Universally stupid.

Homer Buddas x 3 or 4 (ouch!) and accidentally selling my free flaming bush

It's only happened to me a single time, but I did once accidentally waste a donut speeding up the collection period for a brown house. :cry:

I suppose because I'm a bit of a completist I have acquired some items I wished I had not -- notably, the Burns Monster and the Funzo's. I yearn for the day that the game allows us to store these monstrosities.

I was gutted. I know it's a crap shoot but come on... already, each 5-day mystery box has had a red Newspaper Dispenser, every time for the last 6 boxes. Sigh.

Mine alternates between Newspaper dispenser, parking lot or 3 hedges. I wish there was a max on those items so I can actually get something else. I had some excitement with my last one, it was another mystery box. Inside? A parking lot.

Worst expense? Speeding up a brown house, Simpsons house. I know I take the gamble with the Mystery Boxes and Homer Buddha, but I'm not investing in those again. I haven't gotten the golden scratch off after doing the math on them. Would rather put $10 towards the donut package, then 10 scratchers.

The dumbest thing I've ever done is easy -- I thought I'd be sly and use my niece as child labor to visit all my friends houses in the game. She really loves clicking on the $$$ and after some brief instruction she spent the next 45 minutes going through all the 'Springfields'. When she returned the device to me she had a proud look on her face as she explained....

'I figured out if you click on the houses in your Springfield and then on the donut it let me click off more $$$'

I thanked her for her help. I didn't have the heart to tell her that the 100 donuts she spent on speeding up brown houses wasn't part of my plan.

Cleaning graffiti off Moes Tavern lead to me accidentally speeding up a task for Moe as he was halfway through watering down beer. Costing me 8 donuts, I tried to cancel, but my phone's alarm went off at the exact same time, so it prevented me from pressing cancel. Still f'ed off about that one still

That the punishment for using child labour :wink:

Like so many here, it must be accidentaly speeding up a brown house or something. I have also bought a mystery box by accident because my thumb slipped. What was in it, I do not remember, but definitely nothing memorable.
