People Break Down The Things They Never Want To Do—Their Anti-Bucket List

I don't care how exciting it sounds or how cool it looks?

There are just somethings I will never do before my time comes to an end.

Some people's "bucket lists" look like a list of ways to die quicker.

I have no interest in death defying stunts before I perish. What's the point?

I'm trying to survive. So my anti-bucket list is long and proud.

What ever happened to just getting on roller coasters or living a good life?

Why is everybody so extra now?


Redditor Couch_Licker wanted to hear about all the things people are willing to NOT do before leaving this Earth.

They asked:

"What is on your anti-bucket list of things you NEVER want to do in your lifetime?"

Tattoos, sky diving, snake wrangling, safari... no thank you to ALL of the above. Travel. I just want to travel. To fancy places with hotels. You can keep the jungle.

"Cheat on my wife." ~ cov3rtOps

Kill On Sight...

"Running into a massive spider in Australia." ~ ghostiesontoasties

"As an Australian, it depends on the spider. The massive ones are usually huntsmen and they're okay. It's the small, colourful ones you want to watch for - at least three are in my area that are Kill On Sight if they ever get inside." ~ Ametalia

"As someone in Australia, I try my hardest and sometimes I fail unfortunately. But I haven't seen the worst and pray I never do." ~ UpOxygen

Too Gross

"Experience a degloving injury. Usually stuck in machinery. It’s why things like lathes warn against loose clothing." ~ Crott117

"When I worked at a vets, unbeknown to a driver, a cat was under the bonnet of their car. Ignition on, screams and a horrified person and messed up cat. Immediate PTS upon arrival. I can do gore but degloving injuries are beyond messed up." ~ IwantedBeatsteak

No Tony!

"Have children." ~ WrestlingWoman

"Came here to say that. When I say 'I don't want to have kids,' people assume I am ambivalent about that matter. No, Tony, I don't want to have them as much as I don't want to cut off my own leg with a butter knife, thank you." ~ CarolynEarle

Sober

"Hard drugs. I do not need meth and heroin in my life." ~ SconiGrower

Well at least others have some good sense as well. The drug avoidance should be a #1 for all.

Bad Air

"Hot air balloons. Never." ~ K-Kraft

No Pushing

"Giving a non C-section birth." ~ cellsnek

I've been told many times by women who have experienced both that no sane woman would choose to have a baby by c-section. However, if you need one, that's another story and that's why the procedure exists in the first place." ~ notthesedays

Deep Below

"Go into an underwater cave. Miss me with that crap!" ~ 4Me2knowDammit

"The most dangerous water way in UK. Literally a fast wide river that turns 90 degrees so it's a few feet wide and 150 deep. Scary. The word is the survival rate for any animal who goes in is zero." ~ bakerboyuk

Falling!!

"See skydiving was something I have always wanted to do. However, today I found my self scrolling through about 10 videos of parachutes failing and now it is one of my greatest fears." ~ rocjustbus1984

"I stayed on a farm in Texas for a while that was right next to a skydiving place. It was funny to hear the people screaming on their way down. Until the day I heard screaming that sounded very different than the usual, and I looked up to see a guy tangled in the lines of a half-deployed chute."

"I watched long enough to realize it wasn't going to open any more than it already was, and ran inside and blasted music and tried to pretend I hadn't just seen that. There was no skydiving nearby again until after I left, at least several months. I think the guy lived but his back was broken." ~ t_portch

Live Fully

Happy Star Wars Characters GIF by LEGOGiphy

"Have a job that consumes my life and defines my identity. Life's too short for that nonsense." ~ smooth_grooves

I just want to live, without major injury. Why do things to hinder that? Be careful out there.
