People Share Their Best Examples Of 'Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should'

DQing....

I remember thinking as a kid, "When I'm an adult I can eat at Dairy Queen everyday." doubleflusher

Friendship. 

Befriend high schoolers after you graduate college. Toubaboliviano

This is OK as long as there is structure, guidelines, a clear generational gap, etc.

When I was in high school I considered my coaches as non-peer friends… a decade and change later I just got done going to the gym with one of them, and I'll grab a drink from time-to-time with some of the others.

In other cases I have a continuing relationship with my high school friends parents that is independent of my relationship with the high school friend. powderizedbookworm

Stay Still. 

Run for president. I would be a horrible, horrible president. I mean, better than our current one obviously for so many reasons but I would still be horrible at the job. I'll be a grounds keeper at the White House though. That seems like fun. BoWiggly

Bey 'scuse me?

Oversinging a song... I absolutely HATE when an amazing singer feels the need to add a million runs just cause they can. It can really ruin a great song.

Look up Beyonce's cover of silent night for an example of this. (No hate on Beyonce tho). dontjudgemynameplez

Totally agree! Drives me crazy when singers add a ton of unnecessary ornamentation. cheekycamo

Animal Care. 

Adopting a pet. I've seen people get one without having the means to take care of it more times then i care to remember. Those same people then tend to view those animals as entirely disposable as well.

What's worse is when they finally unload that animal they weren't able to care for they often go and repeat the same damn mistake again with yet another puppy/kitten and the cycle continues. RhymedWithSilver

The Limit.

Just because you have enough credit to buy it, doesn't mean you should. MaudeWoolum

In fact, you should probably not have any credit. If you can't pay cash, don't pay for it. Overrandomgamer
