People Break Down Which Popular Activities They Consider Incredibly Stupid

Make us preferred on Google

Everybody has to have fun.

But fun is a word that seems to have many definitions.

I use to have friends who liked to have fun by drag racing.

Now in my dotage, I say... "No thank you."

When we were kids, we would ring and run.

But now, as an adult, that would really set me aflame.


Redditor VisibleConfusion12 wanted to hear about what some people's ideas of a good time, so they asked:

"What is something people want to do that you think is actually incredibly stupid?"

I try to keep my activities clean.

But drinking a bottle of vodka a day isn't high on the list of good ideas.

But that's my fun, not yours. ;)

"Buy that shiny newer version of a thing you already have."

"Never buy new things until yours is broken or the upgraded version is tangibly superior in ways that matter."

She lost A LOT of skin...

"Riding a motorcycle without leathers. A million things can happen so fast and there you are, sliding down the pavement leaving a meat schmear."

OkPenis-ist28

"My stepdad, who is a former EMT, was diving on the freeway and a couple on a motorcycle went past him, then got loose or the tire lost traction, they fell and slid in front of him, he slammed the breaks barely missing them."

"Went into EMT mode to help them. They were both wearing helmets at least. The guy was wearing a jacket and pants, Lady was in a tank top and shorts. Needless to say, she lost A LOT of skin!"

Tell the Truth

"Lying about not eating before any anesthesia procedure, especially outpatient procedure. You can aspirate and die even w a little bite of food or a sip of a drink (a sip of water and meds are usually ok). But go ahead."

Ok-Strawberry5238

"Lying to anesthesia about not using marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin, meth, amphetamine, chronic pain meds like opiates, wine or alcohol regularly, vaping, cigarettes, benzodiazepines, or other street drugs. You might wake up during surgery because you’re not getting enough sedation. Or worse have a heart attack, respiratory issues, and die. But go ahead."

No Air

"Exploring those small, tight-a** caves. Extremely stupid."

Galooiik

"But just think of the rewards! Deep down at the far reaches, there are dank, nondescript rocks to see! Rocks! No other way to do this other than to visit any other type or part of any cave anywhere."

"Then there's the glory of discovery. You could be the first to know there are more rocks further down. And you could be famous like the great cave explorer... uh.. hmm..."

Pet Boundaries

"Own exotic pets like tigers, wolves, bears or chimps."

GooglePixel69

"Venomous snakes. The snake people are both fully aware of how dangerous the snakes are and also overconfident in their ability to handle them."

jittery_raccoon

I love animals. All animals. But I do not wish to have several of them as pets.

Hard No!

"Forgiving people who are totally unapologetic unchanging abusers. Nope."

Be Responsible...

"Drive after consuming alcohol. All my friends hate drunk driving and talk about it. They tell their parents that we're smarter than them cuz of Uber... and yet I seem to be the only one in my friend group who refuses to drive after having drinks at a bar/concert/friend's house."

Karneveus

"Someone I know has gotten in 7 accidents in 3 years, 6/7 were caused by drunk drives If you wanna be AWAY from drunk drivers just don’t drive too much at night."

VisibleConfusion12

Think First

"Having sex with no contraception. I've seen too many people having unplanned babies with people they barely know. Bad for the child, the dad, and the mom. Respect yourself and protect your future. Kids are expensive as hell and hard to raise even with 2 devoted parents ask any single parent."

Tiny_Teach_5466

"Agreed."

"Also, using infertility as a method of birth control. All of the infertile people I know who decided to rely on that and not contraception are all parents of unplanned children. Many times 'life, uh, finds a way.'"

Difficulties

"People who think they are smart but are incredibly ignorant and hard to work with but they pursue leading roles."

"So at my job, there is a guy that joined 8 months ago and is still not integrating as they should. They have 20 years of prior experience in a similar field but are totally ignorant mostly."

"Communication with them is hard since their English is broken and half of the talk is arguing since they want to be smart in every meeting."

"Leading people are not seeing this as a problem, he is considered a Senior expert and possibly be given a leading role. I told my superior I am going to leave if that happens."

But WHY?

Why Me Crying GIF by Team CocoGiphy

"Getting an eyeball tattoo. Do whatever the hell you want, just don't come to me crying, because you lost your eyesight. Nah, I don't feel sorry for you, that was your own damn fault!"

TheUnstableSteak

A tattoo where?

What are people thinking?

I have no words.
