But what about people who have been there, done that?

Are there bucket list regrets?


Redditor itchy_18 asked:

"Anti-bucket list. What’s something you’ll never do again?"

Give It Your All

"Assume that every coworker is a friend." ~ chrwiakgjw462q1

"Amen, I truly believed most of my colleagues were friends in a place I used to work, to the point I’d go above and beyond to help them. Even if it was rarely if ever reciprocated."

"Yet whenever I needed help they were nowhere to be found or were ‘busy’. If I got in trouble they were quick to throw me under the bus without hesitation and would lie to my face about doing so."

"Then when I realised finally that I couldn’t keep working that way and decided to distance myself more, suddenly I became ‘unapproachable’ or ‘unfriendly’ and that was a problem. Which lead to me being sh*t talked constantly."

"It sucks. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t." ~ Throwawayaccount_TM

"Nearly drowned." ~ MrCasterSugar

"I don’t understand any of this swimming in the sea at night stuff."

"One time while on vacation with friends we were drinking on the beach and vowed to come back for a nighttime dip."

"Later that night we got down to the shore, took one look at the black abyss and collectively said 'f*******ck that'." ~ MmmmapleSyrup

Settling Down

"Settling for a relationship knowing you are not really happy."

"Never. Again." ~ Selthix

"This is why first divorces happen after 7 years (average), but second divorces happen within 6 months."

"People are much quicker to nope out if it isn't working." ~ pinewind108

Not So Magical

"Shoulder-to-shoulder people, insane lines, and nothing special I couldn’t see earlier in the month." ~ mGreeneLantern

"This is true for New Years and the 4th of July, too."

"Other than the fireworks that were different, the park was ridiculous and we sat around most of the day." ~ mr2000man

Live To Serve

"I was a server for 5 years."

"It was fun most of the time but God Almighty, the worst customers could drive a person to murder." ~ Prossdog

"I feel you man, I’m currently serving right now to get through university and goddamn some of these people make me question my entire life’s decisions." ~ Petroleum-Smelly

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot

"Now I always pee before cutting jalapeno peppers. The other way around, never again."

"Just to add, this was for a meal prep with my housemate. I ran upstairs and immediately took a shower (cold), during which I focused a lot of cold water on Little Ed."

"Note cold water on a jalapeño accosted Little Ed offered only a brief respite. It was a bad time." ~ Jinzot

"I did this twice. Meal-prepping a slow-cooker barbacoa for lunch that would cook while I slept."

"Went to take my contacts out and was met with immediate agony, even gave myself a nosebleed."

"Finally got them both out and put away, and then next day I go to put them in and what do you know—the oil from the serrano peppers had stayed on them."

"Gave myself a second dose of eye pain along with a healthy second nosebleed." ~ rwsmith101
