29 People Share Their “Anti-Bucket” List Of Things They Will Never, Ever Do, No Matter What

Down to the disease as well!

Everyone has their own choice no judgement. My sister chose for the same reason. I look at it like I loved my mom dearly regardless of her diseases. I am glad she brought me on this earth and the time I spent with her. I have some of the same issues now but will enjoy every moment I get to spend with my son.

so you're a pawrent!

Jeez. This place has gained some angry folks lately. Don't mind those types. Enjoy your fuzzy friends!

There is still societal pressure on women and girls focusing on reproduction despite growing statistics that show more of us are choosing not to have children. A few years ago at a BBQ after my eldest niece had graduated HS, a 60 y.o. man was asking her about college and she was politely answering him. Until he asked about her childbearing plans and emphasized his perceived importance of her nonexistent future children, suggesting she prioritize them over her education. I jumped in telling him how inappropriate he was, asking if he'd had this chat with any of his sons (he had not). She thanked me later for rescuing her. I've known my whole life that I don't want to be a mother, and I'm now 43. I wasn't wrong, I didn't change my mind, it wasn't a matter of "meeting the right person". The only one who can make up your mind is you and you can change it as well. You're the only one who knows YOU completely, Yassy. It's your own life and you are free to live it according to what YOU want ❤

I said the same thing when I was 12 and people always disregarded it because I was just a kid and everyone dismisses what girls have to say about the world. Well I'm in my 40's now, not married, no kids. I have a long term partner, but we feel no urge to get married. We do what we want, when we want. Don't let anyone tell you you don't know what you want for your life. You're the only one who has to live your life, so do exactly what you want!

Take some time to figure out what you want out of life, and if that's not marriage or kids, then that's a valid choice! Just because you're female doesn't automatically mean you should want either of those things.

Exactly. I have many other reasons but the first one is: I simply don't want to.

This. 1000x this.

Good thing, now you can concentrate on going to outer space ;)

I bet the cost of 50k also changed your mind ;-)

"Toby's Torturous Transformation" wins 🏆 the Internet today.

Seconded. I like mountains, but the non-technical, non-hazardous kind.

For me it was the movie "The Descent" it wasn't a documentary...but it was enough for me!

I can hardly read the words Nutty Putty without getting a chill. I watch a lot of disaster mini-documentaries and Fascinating Horror's video about this one really gave me the shivering w*****s. EDIT, sorry I forgot BP doesn't allow us to say that word. The shivering Williams.

I grew up about 20 miles from nutty putty caves and we used to drive out in the desert a couple of times a year for a dirt dive. Ive been down maybe 15-20 times. Mormon youth groups would regularly shuttle dozens of 12-18 year old kids through the caves pretty regularly. Not awesome for claustrophobic people but by no means a death trap. No disrespect to the dead guy in there but you would have to be particularly arrogant/ignorant to get death stuck down there. Just saying, dude took a massive unprecedented risk when he went down the passage that killed him. Literally thousands of people just said “naw” to that passage for decades before homeboy gave it the ole college try. I’m just saying, he took several massive risks that even brave people would immediately turn away from to end up where he did.

I’m not very squeamish, but couldn’t get past 6 mins of the documentary. That poor geezer and his family…

I just googled it. I wish I hadn't.

You are not the only one

SAME GIRL SAME

That was not cave diving, just regular caving

Really wish I hadn't looked that up!

I was not really into before I heard about that but watching a documentary about that…NOPE! What a terrible way to die.

There's many larger open caves to visit and explore. I'm claustrophobic and I've been inside a couple larger ones. One was in Cades Cove in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I don't believe that people can go in that one anymore, not positive though. I went while at camp there at Tremont.

Thank you. I'm an MD, my parents *both* smoked, and I never have understood how my lungs recovered from that childhood. For what? Pfft. I'd sooner suck a breath mint.

I totally agree "It's the stupidest vice ever" I was stupid (for smoking) most of my life and am paying for it now even though I quit 6 years ago. If you never smoked PLEASE DON'T START and if you smoke, PLEASE FIND A WAY TO STOP. It's not sexy and doesn't make you a grown up. Just stupid and poorer. *steps off my soap box and takes a puff of my rescue inhaler*

As an ex- smoker of 40 years (quit in June of this year) I can attest to this. The cravings still hit me so strong at times it is unreal. Horrible habit that had me in very poor health for decades. I have become a bit of a health nut now but the threat of what 4 decades of smoking 1 to 2 packs a day could bring me still, worries me.

Well said! It's the vice that keeps on giving long after you quit.

I started smoking at 13, my husband, who has asthma, started in his 20's, and I just keep asking him why??

as a smoker i can confirm.

You also just described eating fast food on the reg. 😂 ‘paying to slowly make yourself sick and possibly have a gruesome death’.

Any help for someone actively trying to stop smoking?

I don't smoke, nor intend to, but I fail to see what electronic fund transfers have to do with it.

Second stage COPD. Smoked non filter cigarettes back when you could find them everywhere. Only 62 years old now, but it was"cool" back then. Out of breath just getting dressed in the morning. One pocket full of three inhalers. Get stopped by the cops and one funny move will make it even harder to breathe.

Can confirm.

My quality of life changed sustancially for better when I switched from tobacco to vaping. Vaping is not good and nobody should start, but it's really a great help. Also, one can adjust the nicotine content: I started with a concentration of 12 mg and now I'm at 3 mg, combining with liquids with 0 mg of nicotine. For me, patches, chewing gum, books... nothing worked for more than 2 weeks, and with permanent anxiety. Now, I feel way better. But, of course, there is no reason for a teenager to start vaping (at least, vaping liquids with nicotine, which makes no sense to me).

Worse

I quit (again) 2 weeks ago Thursday. It's a (voluntary) "on again, off again" thing with me. Last time I quit, I didn't smoke for 6 years, and when I started up again, I only smoked "clove cigars," which I still slim, like a cigarette. I've quit again because I'm tired of BURNING 🔥 money. Knock on wood: clear chest X-rays thru last year.
