We’re constantly bombarded by messages that we should seize the day, live life to the fullest, and that we can do and be absolutely anything that we want. It’s either empowering or emotionally exhausting depending on your point of view. One of the problems that lie at the core of this ‘go-gettism’ philosophy is that there often isn’t much guidance behind the energetic urging to not waste a single moment more and embrace an adrenaline-filled, happy-go-lucky lifestyle.
That means that it’s up to every single person to try and figure out what they really want to do, whether it’s professionally or during their spare time. And that can lead to some very naive mistakes. Maybe you realized that bungee jumping really isn’t for you. Perhaps you learned the hard way that camping isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be if you don’t have a tiny Aragorn living inside your heart. Or maybe you got burned after trusting your colleagues too much.
Reddit users opened up about their worst experiences and mistakes in a brutally honest thread full of worldly wisdom. Scroll down for the anti-bucket list of things that people will never ever do again.

Work in a covid unit. It was worth it in the beginning when I felt like I was trying to rescue victims of an unknown enemy while risking my life to buy precious time for a game-changing miracle. However, parts of me have died over the last two years. The patients that come into my ER now days have turned up their noses at a vaccine that many have died in my presence waiting for. The ones dying of covid are shouting at me, hitting me, threatening me, and trying to pull the PPE off of my face because they don't think that covid is real. I've had to drive past protesters on my way home from a shift where I had to take an eight year old off of life support because her unvaccinated parents gave the virus to her. I don't even feel sad anymore when a patient passes because now I have a ventilator open for at least one of the next three patients circling the drain.
I'm tired of getting yelled at by antivaxers and their families. I'm tired of risking my life for people who won't do the bare minimum, like taking a jab, to live.
I've spent my life trying to help people, but no one is worth it anymore. You win. I'm done. I regret it all. Everything I ever stood for is dead. The only thing that matters to me is my dog. She will never understand why I never came home, but she has widespread cancer, so that won't be long either.

We need to really focus on providing doctors and nurses with quality counseling and other services. The stress of the last 2 years would break anyone. High-quality services for them at the hospital so it is convenient for them and time off could help a lot.

This is very distressing. I am truly sorry that you have to deal with rude anti-vaxxers and anti-masks. The reason why we, who believe that COVID is real, are not in the ER is because we know how to take care of ourselves. Hang in there. There is still hope in life.

He means what we all mean ----- we're on shift 72 hours straight sometimes. Yes, that's how bad it is. I'm done in another 72 hours, by choice. I'm not renewing my license to practice medicine. I did my time as a volunteer support personnel, then as an MD, and I've had two toddlers taken off life support to die b/c of their parents in the last 9 months. We don't go home. At the start, we were camping in the parking garage in tents to be sure we didn't contaminate anyone. He may self-harm, but he's still talking about his pain, so hopefully, he won't.

Getting rid of my Facebook has really helped give me a renewed sense of calm. As an competitive person, I was making myself horribly depressed by going on to Facebook and feeling like a horrible failure as I saw all my friends getting married and having children, going on lavish vacations, and reaching life goals. I knew deep down that Facebook doesn't show us everything and nobody is going to always post the hard parts of their lives online, however, the Facebook algorithm was so good at showing me things that made me feel horrible about myself. It's been over four years now and I don't miss it. There are many ways to keep in touch with loved ones that don't entail Facebook.

Vote Republican. I was a lifelong R until they picked Trump. My eyes were opened to what they were and I'll never donate another cent or vote R for any position ever again. I love when I get the calls from them, begging for money. I get to explain why the money they used to get is now going to their opponents.

I understand the sentiment. With that said, a politician who is doing the right thing is potentially in a position to help starving children + pets to a tremendous degree. While it's hard to know the effectiveness of any donation, I think at the very least, a can can be made that if a donation helps put a good person in a position to help, a political donation can be very effective.

I agree. In 2020, my parents said it's best to vote "blue no matter who". My in-laws voted red because they still thought Trump was awesome. I absolutely didn't want my vote going to Trump, but I don't like Biden much either. They're both creepy old men and I'm angry that I've never seen a good person in office. So I voted for Hawkins. My partner, who hated Biden from the start and lost faith in the Republicans, voted for Jorgensen. It feels good to follow one's own beliefs.

2016 was the first time I voted a straight Democratic ticket - purely in protest of Trump. I've continued to do so - not only because of Trump, but also because of his acolytes. I was raised as a red Republican and am horrified by the descent of the GOP into the abyss.
The anti-bucket list is the complete opposite of the bucket list, a list of all the things that a person hopes to do in life.
They say that the best teacher is cold, hard experience. And there’s no denying that trying out a whole bunch of different activities can quickly help you filter out what you actually enjoy doing and what sounds great on paper but is horrible in real life.
However, things aren’t so easy when you deal with underlying assumptions like trusting everyone, not just leisure activities. If the fundamental ideas that make up your life get shaken, you can be in for a rude awakening. And with a lot to think about while you’re sitting there, angry, ashamed, embarrassed.

Getting a bra measured and fitted properly by a shop clerk doesn't always work as well. They don't always tell you that they're not experts, and their opinion of size are about as accurate as your own. Just try on bras until you find something comfortable.

Funny enough, I know someone who had the opposite problem. He lost a bunch of weight, mostly from stress, and his clothes were just hanging on him. Eventually, he decided to get a bunch of new clothes that actually fit properly and got rid of his old clothes. But soon after the stressful situation he was in went away, so he regained the weight and now his clothes don't fit anymore, meaning he's going to have to buy ANOTHER set of new clothes.

Yup. The same can apply with friendships. I broke off a friendship with an old college buddy a month ago because I was tired of her toxic behavior and realized she was not worth the trouble. I feel so free compared to when I was in a relationship with her. I do miss hanging out and doing stuff we both loved, but being alone is better than being with someone who makes you question if you can trust them and sometimes makes you feel alone.

Don't be afraid of therapy and pharmaceutical help. It can be very hard and frustrating to find the right medication/combination of meds, but once you do, the difference is AMAZING. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for my meds. They don't make me artificially happy or numb; they just level out my emotional state so I can look at my depression from a more realistic, logical point of view when it gets bad and recognize that I need to do something before it gets REALLY bad.

The first step is always the BIGGEST afterwards it becomes a good habit !
Something that we all have to remind ourselves of from time to time is that it’s all right to make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. And, heck, you could argue that perfection is overrated. What really matters is learning to embrace the mistakes that we make and learning the lessons that are there to be learned, without regret.
Vanessa Bohns, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University, explained to us earlier about embracing mistakes, dealing with our embarrassment, and why hiding our mistakes isn’t healthy for us.
"We spend a lot of time and effort presenting an ideal version of ourselves to other people. When something happens that contrasts with the image we’ve been projecting—when we say or do something that shows we actually aren’t as graceful or as smart as we’d like people to believe—we feel embarrassed," Vanessa told Bored Panda during an earlier interview that many of us want to seem perfect.

Assume that every co worker is a friend.
I truly believed most of my colleagues were friends in a place I used too 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.

that`s a hard one - especially when you`re a loser like me that doesn`t have any friends in my private life, and the only people I am in contact with are people from work. and I always know that they have their own lives and will never be real friends, but oftentimes I yearn to reach out to them to get a little bit of human warmth. so pathetic, I know
"Discovering you were wrong about something most everyone else around you has long known to be true is one of those moments. In that moment we learn, 'Wait a minute, maybe I haven’t been presenting the image of being smart or worldly that I thought I was presenting all this time,' which is embarrassing,” she explained how embarrassment works.
“One thing that’s interesting about embarrassment is that, for as much as we might experience it as painful in the moment, it’s actually very socially adaptive. Being embarrassed signals to other people that you care about what they think. And that actually draws people in to you,” the expert pointed out that when we admit to our mistakes openly, we become better liked.

A lot of it comes down to disrespecting people in service jobs who are perceived as making a low income.

I smoked for 13 years. Started really young and it grew into a two pack a day habit. Really, it was the cost that became prohibitive and I needed to be put on birth control to manage heavy periods as they were making me anemic each month. Other forms of birth control messed my system up, but my Dr. wouldn't prescribe the pill if I was smoking. So, I set a goal to quit and with the money I saved I'd buy a puppy after a year. Six years later I have two dog (brothers) and an entirely repainted house. You do not realize just how yellow EVERYTHING is. Had to wash everything and every surface, but it's been worth it. The only thing I miss about smoking is that kick of relaxation the first drag of a cig when you're stressed gives you. Nothing quite like it. Puppies still better though.

Same, sadly for 5 years. It was combined with "staying in a relationship I wasn't happy in" he cheated alot, swore to never do it again, then when I left his ex friend confessed feelings, ended up being exactly the same... I decided to finally be patient and work on myself. And now I found a man I really really like who's also my best friend. I can now actually say I hope I get to spend the rest of my days with my best friend one day.

On the flip side, when we try to hide our mistakes and embarrassment, we’re shooting ourselves in the foot, socially speaking. In other words, it’s not only cathartic, it’s also socially useful for us to admit to the times we utterly embarrassed ourselves or messed up beyond all belief.

787 days sober and I’ll never look back. Got my degree and working as a design specialist/content developer for a museum now and I LOVE MY JOB. Also started my own small business and it’s going really well so far. I have an art show coming up soon and I’m really excited for it.

Finally quit my job and a month later i passed out at home, my sister found me and brought me to the hospital. Turns out i had ulcers that were bleeding. My blood level was at a 2.9, the nurses and doctors were amazed i was still alive.

Sleeping on a tiny airbed, that is usually deflated by the morning. Finding bugs in and on your bed. Lying awake worrying about someone drunk falling on top of your tent. Being cold. Having to get half dressed to walk to the other side of the field to use a toilet (females can't just take a leak anywhere). Not being able to wash before you face the world. Not being able to stand up to get dressed. Feeling permanently wet and cold. I could go on....

I hate airbeds! I switched to foam inflatable mats that even though are thinner they are more comfortable but I know lots of people who won't camp due to uncomfortable mattresses.

We're not typically asked by friends or family to lend them money, but if we are asked - and the sum and rationale are are not rediculous - it is always just given as a gift. "Loans" are how you ruin good relationships real quick. My husband's dad once asked to borrow $500 to cover some bills while on a temporary layoff from work... so we just gifted it to him. If someone is to the point that they need to borrow money, what is the likelihood they'll amass the funds to pay it back anyway? But don't get me wrong, we will say "no" if we can't afford it or don't think it's really necessary (for instance when his dad just kept calling in and couldn't cover his bills as a result... nope, sorry... We'll give you a hand-up but not a hand-out...)

I disagree, I really feel like body positivity is needed to take the focus off weight loss. The goal of lifestyle changes shouldn’t be appearance, it should be physical and mental health. Plus, if everyone ate the same and exercised the same some people would still be bigger than others. There’s plenty of skinny people who could get more energy and an improved mood by eating healthier and excercised more, too.

Alternate POV: A well-planned Disney trip can be amazing. Pick less-busy times of year, choose less-busy days of the week to visit each park (yes, that's a thing!). Rent a house or hotel suite with a kitchen, buy some groceries, and cook a bunch of easy meals there instead of spending $$$ on park food 3x/day. Make dinner reservations when you *do* decide to eat out. Make sure the kids are at the right age where they can appreciate being there (hint: no babies). Take advantage of Fast Pass and Magic Hours. There are literally hundreds of websites that can help you plan an itinerary. It will totally be worth the time you take to do so!

There isn't a "less busy" time anymore. There won't be for the next several years bare minimum. Only less expensive times. Fastpass isn't a thing anymore, it got replaced with a new system that's a pain to navigate. Extra Magic Hours are limited to people staying in a Disney resort. And for a first timer it can be incredibly beneficial to splurge on one of their specialist planners to help you figure everything out.

But they got all my belongings back to me. The hardest part of the two experiences was at that moment I was supposed to lean out from the platform and let myself go.

Literally had to have a marriage counselor explain to my ex why I wasn't responsible for his happiness. Oh, so if you're not happy - that's MY fault? Way to dodge taking any responsibility for yourself. Jus one of the many reasons he's an ex.

My ex would tell me that my mood impacted his mood, and I started to feel responsible for how he felt too. I attempted to shield my feelings so much that I really became a shell, and had a hard time letting myself feel anything genuine. After things ended, my emotions broke the dam that I built and I was at a total loss how to deal with any of them after suppressing what I felt for so long.

It’s called being codependent, and something to explore about yourself. It’s impossible to not be a little affected by our partners moods but if it’s a daily thing like this, it’s something to examine and make sure you don’t fall into the same patterns in your next relationship.

Working in academia - left two years ago and never looking back. F**k that noise. Soon as the business folk became in charge of the institution instead of the professors, it was all over. Changing the model from " how can we best teach and research knowledge" to "how can we make more money to expand" destroyed the core philosophy.

In the interest of keeping a student paying for four years off of govt backed loans they'll pass anyone who shows up and turns in assignments that shouldn't pass 10th grade. Money truly has ruined academia. People don't realize that every degree used to be quite valuable because they were really very difficult to get.

This is 100% why people complain about capitalism in the US! God forbid we charge a fair price for out product, we can charge 5× so we can have massive profit margins! No CEO need to make a million a year or more and no company needs to make millions or even billions in profit but they can so they do. Just imagine if people stopped falling for the "consume, consume, consume" narrative and provided more for themselves like the Amish. Prices would plummet and be more realistic again!

When I was first dating my late husband he told me that I needed to accept that he had children and not to ever try to keep him away from them (he said he had exes that did this, and he regretted it ever happening) and that if this relationship was to work I would need to love his children. I was open to it but sorta scared, kids had NEVER liked me. Idk why, maybe I was awkward and they could sense it? But his kids accepted and loved me from the very beginning. They just wanted to be loved and included. I love them so much and I love that I didn't have to have birth but got to "have" kids. They reminded me so much of me when I was a kid that it felt like I was their mom, i didn't ever act like their mother- I always was on good terms with her and would watch her other kids if she needed me to. What a great experience and I am so proud of my Late Husband standing for his family from the very beginning of the relationship, what a great dad he was!

I did both. First time epidural, hooked up in hospital, pushing on my back, midwives not really paying attention to me. I felt like a piece of meat. Second time at home. Just laughing gas. In my own room. Squatting so that gravity played its part. With my own music and candles. Totally in control and even though it was more painful than the first time, it was also a better experience. Remove the fear and you remove some of the associated pain with it.

I did both but I much prefer the laughing gas. I did epidural once and gas the other two. That was shorter, easier and I could work with my body MUCH better. If I would give birth again I would skip the epidural again. But that's the thing. Every woman is different. No one should be pushed the epidural and no one should feel pressured to go without.
Veronica Sjöberg 3 years ago
I can add though that the gas isn't supposed to remove pain and it doesn't. It's supposed to relax you enough to meet the pain and work with it and that plays a big role in childbirth. So I think you need to have that in mind and adjust your expectations of it that way.

Laughing gas, or gas and air in the UK, is great for birth. It only lasts about a minute after one gulp of air so you can be 100% present if you want or feel like you've just downed two bottles of wine on empty stomach. It 's important to know it doesn't stop the pain, it only stops you caring about the pain so you do feel everything.

When epidural works and is started at the right time, it can be an enormous help. Also, for some women who are having difficulty with pain, it can slow labor. Put in an epidural, the mom is relaxed and labor starts to progress.

Marco Hub-Dub 3 years ago
I don’t get the appeal. Also, maybe where I spent my formative years the strip clubs weren’t typical. I’ve had friends who were “dancers” & all but 1 were lesbians. Not remotely into men. Several times I’d go to work with them & they’d hand me a stack of $20s. I’d sit at a table at the far end of the stage, sipping my soda. If guys in the other seats were being cheap, I’d prominently hold up a $20 to “lure” my friend my way and she’d dance for me until someone else held up a bill. If it was smaller she’d dance for a second near them and move back towards me. She could triple her money with this method. Stripping, dancing and sex work is problematic. It’s undeniable. But the default at least where I live isn’t always a down and lit drugged up single mother. I know many women who are sexually healthy & emotionally stable who used the “male gaze” on their terms.

The last time I was in a strip club (about 25 years ago) was a fantastic experience. Was wondering around downtown DC entertaining an out-of-state friend. He kept asking that we go to a strip club. I kept brushing it off, saying how depressing it was that paying was the only way that the guys could see beautiful nude women and that I never went to any. He kept at it and I finally relented. We walked in and one of the strippers runs up to me yelling my name and throwing her arms around me. My friend gave me a "you're so full of it" look. The reason I knew her was because I used to hang out at an after-hours gay dance club that welcomed anyone who didn't have a problem with it. Got to know a number of exotic dancers that would go there after work because they wouldn't get harassed there.

As a former lifeguard, I cannot tell you how dangerous open water can get especially if you are high and/or intoxicated. It may sound like a fun, silly idea at first, however, it can go wrong so fast. People often misjudge their abilities when they are intoxicated and don't realize that they are too far out or have gotten caught in a riptide. Being intoxicated also tires you out and numbs your sense making your body sluggish and less aware of temperature changes-- two things you NEVER want in open water. If you are going for a night swim you are responsible for your safety. It may sound like fun, but alcohol and open water do not mix.

You see a side of humanity you wish didn’t exist and I simply refuse to put up with people screaming in my face because they don’t like the prices I didn’t have anything to do with or that their expired coupons don’t work. I was always super nice to customer service workers, but after working it I’m super super nice.

I didn't know how bad food service was until I got out. I think I was in it so long because I didn't think I could do anything else. So glad I got out.

That's the trap. You are treated so poorly by bosses and customers, and even co-workers, that your self esteem suffers. The bosses want you to believe that you are lucky to have this sh*tty job. How else are they going to keep people who work so hard for so little money? I finally got out of that trap and wondered why I put up with the abuse for so long.

I worked in food service for almost 12 years. I didn't realize how underpaid I was until I left to be a caregiver and made 5$ more an hour with no experience. I even went to school for culinary arts and couldn't make more than 13.50/hr. It is an toxic, sexist, drunken envirimoent that destroys everything you may have once loved about cooking. Not worth it.

These people are everywhere. Unless you live out in the woods and take on a night custodian job. Or work in the cemetery where everyone is dead. But I'm sure even there their living kin would have a bone to pick with you about how you cut the grass and what you did with the decor they left the month prior.

'murica! (Seriously though. In Europe we don't let costumers treat staff like s**t. If a costumer misbehaves they'll get shown the door. No manager involved, usually, as no worker is expected to put up with that sort of people. And so pretty much no one behaves in such a way.)

Never go to San Francisco, or LA. I always imagined these places to be beautiful and progressive, with quirky cool vibes... In reality they are disgusting, filthy, cesspools of inequality, drugs, homelessness, and apathy by NIMBY Faux progressives who would rather put spikes and rocks on the sidewalks than construct one affordable house that might lower their property values.

In the UK it is popular to skydive to raise money for charity. The costs to the NHS of fixing up the injuries caused are an order of magnitude greater than the money that is given to the charities.
Metallicd3ath 3 years ago
I don't know if this is accurate to the uk, but I believe oftentimes it's "cheaper" that way because the insurance company(s) come in to pay the medical bills but you'd never see an insurance company pay that much to charity. Has something to do with legality and monthly premiums I think...

You say that, but aren't many non-mainstream books just a blank cover and the title? And if not that then it's some landscape-art-looking stuff or symbolism that doesn't make sense.

I love my family, but the closer I live to them, the more they want me to visit. Being an introvert who gets easily burned out by too many in-person interactions, I have to tread a fine line, because there's an expectation that because you're family, you will make the time to see them regularly. I honestly am fine with seeing even my closest family every few months, at most, and then I value those get-togethers a lot more as a result.

Sky diving. Sure static line sky diving by climbing out of a moving plane and hanging on a strut then letting go was fine. It was after chute opened and I was swaying from the chute, with nothing to see but the ground that I started to get really nauseous... Like sea sick. I guess the inner ear feeling me swaying did not jibe with what I was seeing. Basically ground is so far away my brain couldnt see parallax correctly. I still managed to land right on the target on my first try! Then I sat in the field for like 20 minutes before I was sure I wouldn't throw up if I moved.

I'll never submit entirely to my cravings. I once made and ate 2 boxes of Mac & cheese, and then snacked on some pickles. I was woken that night by the fury boiling in my loins and I ended up on the toilet for around 5 hours. Turns out I had given myself temporary lactose intolerance by using up all of the lactase in my body. Since your body produces lactase (the enzyme which digests lactose) very slowly, I ended up learning later that I was lactose intolerant for a few days after.

Nobody tells you how frustrating and time consuming it is to train a dog really well, and how much damage your house will get during those training months, or years.
Roxy Eastland 3 years ago
Or that not all dogs are like the ones in the training videos. There's a reason why it's always the same handful of breeds used to demonstrate how 'easy' it is to train a dog properly. Once ours is out the house she has *zero* interest in eating anything, and therefore we can't reinforce her walking with us or call her back, reward her, and let her go off again. Nor can we recall her, basically, if she's got excited about running around. There is nothing in this world that makes her happier than racing around when she gets her dander up. Not food, not toys, not getting love from us. We can train recall at home, but it is meaningless once we leave the house. So she only comes off the lead in enclosed spaces when we're with other dogs, because the pack thing helps. Even then I've had one experience of her running round someone else, and their dog, like a loony when they clearly weren't comfortable with it. Not all dogs are like the ones people use as examples of what dogs are like

Fiend of mine's son is 35 and addicted, it's f**k up his life. He has had several good jobs as a programmer, project managers etc on 6 figures but now he lives back at his mums he can't be without his phone, PS whatever or Xbox. Spends days in his room and has even pee himself not getting pausing a game. Once or twice I've seen him, he's twitchy like a junky. His father is heart broken and just tells friends that his son works really hard that why he doesn't drive 5 km to see him or help him when his ill. The father uses a walking aid now and we (are doggy group) walk his dog when father can't. We check in on him help him and stuff and he always excuses his Son for working so hard, such a shame.

Work in corporate management. After 35 years as an engineer (which I loved), I took a management job to put some serious money into retirement. Hated it for 4 years (but put most of my salary away. I was good at it and well liked, but I want to wash the skeevy out of my mind). Now thank f**k I'm retired!

Sounds like my dad... engineer for 35 years but refuse every opportunity to get a corporate management. He was calling that job: "The Ejector Seat" since when the company made less than anticipated (but still showing record profits) or there was a conflict of interest scandal they will fired the newer corporate manager instead of the dumbâss at the head of the company who commited the fraud in the first place. And his engineer job was unionize, so that's another plus.

It's not the principle or anything, but stereotypically speaking, white people can't cook other cultures' foods authentically. Imagine having a taco, but it's plain ground beef (no seasonings), and entirely too much lettuce and sour cream.

That's... about nine hours. I suppose it depends on what car you're driving in, but it doesn't seem to be that bad to me.

US vs UK I’m guessing. In the US 100 years is a long time, in the UK 100 miles is a long way. Driving at a vacation destination this summer and looking forward to the week there. It’s a 12 hour drive one way but that’s part of the experience. An adventure with beautiful changing scenes all the way, and good company.

Venice. Most romantic open sewer I've ever blown thousands at, only to be bored and ignored.
Jean Thompson 3 years ago
Visited on an excursion from cruise ship. Have to say - Venice was magical. Did the tourist thing of travelling around the small canals on a gondola and the sights are amazing. Venice is so unique. Nothing like it elsewhere on earth. Didn't notice any bad smells or dirtiness. I think it worked for me because I was there in October so, no stifling heat and smells, and many less tourists. Please don't be put off - just travel later in the year.
ShroomsGarden 3 years ago
Venice is best to visit in colder weather, and drop in for a day visit. I stayed at Garda on Lake Garda, and you could visit Verona and Venice fairly easily from there. The accommodation was much prettier, and people friendlier. I do think Venice is an interesting place to visit (especially inside some of the churches), but it's highly romanticised in films.

Popping into the first aid hut for a splint at the top of the run. I had broken my thumb and it was pretty obviously misshapen. Just needed a little support so I didn’t injure it more getting down the mountain to go to my car. Turns out, once you go into first aid you ain’t gettin out on your own two feet. Imagine being taken down the mountain on that stupid body sled for a broken thumb. Absolutely the most embarrassing and uncomfortable ride of my life.

General admission concerts for me I think. I loved concerts, been to a fair amount. I'd always line up hours early and be front row. I just think my knees can't handle that anymore.
Red 3 years ago
Big concerts are a no no for me. Unless it's a band I really love and have to see at least once, I will not go for that ordeal again. Small venues, least known bands, couple of hours in line and still get to see the stage, sure, I'd go any day, but the big guys, only if they're really special to me.
StarmanWaitingInTheSky 3 years ago
There just a few bands I have any desire going to see live and even then from what I see I'd rather not be bothered. People crowd surfing, so you'll likely have to help contribute by touching someone or they might collapse on you, but all you want to do is focus on what's going on stage. Very loud music that could compete with a jet engine. Being pushed and squished by the crowd. Having to scoot around hundreds of people to go to the washroom then spend the next hour trying to figure out where your spot is.
Firstname Lastname 3 years ago
The right concert, for me, is always worth it. But hot tip, wear supportive shoes, because: a) you're going to need to support your dancing body b) moshpits and beer will ruin your shoes anyhow and c) nobody is there to see your feet. They're there to see the musicians.

Walk over 30 miles in one winter's night. Not just because I can't do it anymore. It was a little piece of hell.

For the most part these are NOT bucket list things people tried and didn't like. FFS whose bucket list includes working retail, being in a bad relationship, having a child with someone they don't love. Come on this is just a list, predominantly, of bad experiences with bad things.
memyselfandI 3 years ago
Exactly, it’s not things on peoples’ bucket lists that they don’t want to do again, it’s things that are now on the anti-bucket list of “I’ll never do this again in my life”. No one has “working retail” on their bucket list, but I bet a lot of people have it on the anti-bucket list after having tried it.

This list sucks. It isn't even vaguely an "anti-bucket list". Why can't people at least try to post ideas that fit the theme, rather than jump on an opportunity to rant about something vaguely related.

I thought the idea of “anti-bucket list” was “this wasn’t on my bucket list before, but I’m never going to do it again”. It’s not things that were on the bucket list already and then turned out to be horrible, it’s somewhat normal things that they don’t want to do again. They’re two separate lists, not things from one moved to the other.

Snorkeling. Did it once at a camp, hyperventilated and got back in the boat as fast as possible. Everything looked so much closer, slimier, more alive, and much better at swimming than me, and since it was below me, I couldn’t run away except by swimming to somewhere else with new horrors. At one point I nearly kicked a sea turtle that I had no idea was there. The worst part is I then had to go out again with the group the next day and they wouldn’t let me just stay in the boat. I am absolutely never going anywhere in the ocean with clear water ever again. Too many nightmares. I’ll stick to aquariums with walls, thanks.

For me, ride a roller coaster. I'll do other adrenaline inducing things, like cliff-dive or do the polar-bear-challenge, I just never had any desire whatsoever to ride a coaster as a kid. As a teen, someone begged me to ride one with them, and after a lot of back and forth, I finally gave in. I ended up getting severe whiplash, and didn't even enjoy the ride prior to the injury. It just seemed bumpy and uncomfortable, and not at all exciting. 30 years later, and I tend to throw out my shoulder a lot. I couldn't swear the whip lash is what caused my shoulder to get so screwed up, but that's around the same time it started.
