Psychologist Dr. Christopher Peterson, who is the author of Pursuing the Good Life, says that a bucket list might help with goal setting but the drawback is that it also implies a "check off the boxes" approach to our time on Earth, which can lead to a superficial sense of fulfillment and distract from deeper, more meaningful experiences.
So let's take a look at a bucket list that is meant to not be completed. An anti-bucket list, if you will. A few days ago, Reddit user TheDeadYeti made a post on the platform, inviting everyone to share the things that they have tried and vowed to never do again. From chasing popularity to staying at hostels, here are the most upvoted entries to the discussion.

Cave crawling. I've done walking cave tours since this story I'm gonna tell, no problem. What I'm talking about is laying on my stomach and sliding through gaps in caves that look too small for a house cat to slip through. The one that made me reconsider caving as a hobby was a professional cave club tour, but not one advertised to the public because it was so demanding and specialized. I felt really comfortable with the two leads despite some minor claustrophobia because they were highly recommended by the club. I had little pings of fear here and there but the leaders were so comforting that it was adding to the experience rather than taking away from it.
We were probably a quarter mile crawl (no place to even fully get on your hands and knees let alone stand and stretch) one group leader in front and one in back to insure our group was sandwiched by experienced guys. Anyway, the leader was in front of me, two of my group behind me then the 2nd leader. The guy behind me got legitimately stuck and started grabbing and scratching at my legs and feet which sent me into a full blown panic, the third guy got kicked in the nose and lip which pissed him off and caused him try to leave, but this is literally a perfect human sized tunnel so no one could urn around, plus the 2nd leader was behind him blocking him in, causing him to freak out as well. After a solid ten minutes of yelling and kicking at each other, the leaders got us to quiet down enough so they could make a plan. I crawled ahead another 200 feet or so with the 1st lead to a wider gap where we could both get on our hands and knees and turn around, ten minutes ago this big gap would've been a god send, in that moment though I was so panicked it didn't matter, I might as well have been buried alive. Anyway, the lead left me and crawled back to help pull the stuck guy through, but couldn't because he was just too big. The two guys in the back had to crawl all the way out, sliding backwards since they couldn't turn around head first, then the 2nd leader crawled all the way back to pull the stuck guy out. Obviously I immediately agreed to leave when I was told the guys were pulling out and silently cried all the way back. I have never been so genuinely terrified in my life, it's an indescribable feeling. Imagine every drop of adrenaline your body can produce being pumped through you but not being able to crawl more than four or five feet per minute, soaking wet, covered in stinky mud, freezing cold yet sweat is burning your eyes but your arms are stretched out so far forward so you can only use your dirty finger tips to swipe it away. It was like one of those nightmares where you're trying to run and scream but your legs don't work and your scream for help comes out silent.
I'm glad I did something that scared me that deeply though I'm not sure why lol. It was just a little too close to a real disaster for me. I'll base jump in a squirrel suit before I cave crawl like that again.

Date a man that follows Andrew Tate and his comrades in misogyny. The men's rights online coalition and ideology is a problem for all genders.
Luke Branwen 1 year ago
One of the eternal mysteries for me is how Tate & those similar to him claim to be the ultimate womanizers with irresistible alpha male aura who can have any woman they point at... and yet I haven't met A SINGLE woman who is attracted to him. I've seen more women lusting over Jack Black than Andrew Tate.

Go to disney - OMG what a waste of time and money.
The Other Guest 1 year ago
I used to love going to Disneyland, but the magic has worn off for me. It's so crowded you can hardly walk around, the wait to get on a ride is ridiculous even with FastPass (or whatever the current equivilent is; it's been a decade since my last visit), and it's just too damned expensive. And it's not just inflation; a general admission ticket in 1964 was $1.20, which would be $15.88 today. Now it varies depending on what day of the week/month you want to go, and ranges between $104 and $194. Then there's another $25 to park your car...

Attend a massive event. I was at Obama's inauguration in 2008, I went to college nearby and thought it would be cool to be a part of. It was freezing cold, and many people weren't ready for that. I was, but I wasn't ready for the realities of 2.5 million people descending on a city with a population of 600k. No food, no water, no restrooms, no shelter, no room to move at all, nowhere to sit down after hours on end of standing and walking. Trash everywhere, subway stations were a claustrophobic's nightmare, people were fainting from dehydration. I ended up walking over 4 miles over the Potomac to Virginia to catch a train home. Ended up being an exhausting 12 hour day. It's cool to say I was there but I'll never put myself in a crowd that size again.

I live in LA so I have routine access to Universal, Disney, Six Flags, Knotts, etc.
I will never go to a park in the summer.
It's 100F. Kids aren't in school so it's packed. You stand in the sun for hours for a 30 second ride.
My dad is coming this weekend and wanted to go to Disney. I flat out refused. We'll go in November.

Swim in the Dead Sea. Don't do it, fam, it's not worth the risk of TOO MUCH SALT in any opening in your body. Scratched your arm too hard? SALT. Blinked at the moisture in the air? SALT. Spread your legs while having a p*ssy? GUESS, F*****G GUESS. Oh, and here's the fun part, once your tender bodily orifices start burning like the fires of hell from SALT, you *will* start thrashing around because AAAAAA GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT. And that *will* splash water everywhere, causing more tender bodily orifices to get tainted with SALT. By the time you make it back to shore everything will be on fire, and it will take a long, long time to wash all that SALT out. The Dead Sea: not even once.
MurderMittens 1 year ago
I loved floating in the Dead Sea! I was probably out there for nearly an hour. The only time it started to burn was after i got out and rinsed off and missed a little spot. You need to rinse thoroughly. This person went into the Dead Sea with open wounds. It's not a good idea to get into any body of water with open wounds.

I’m seriously concerned by OPs spread ur legs and a have a vagina comment…I can honestly say I can be in a body of water and spread my legs and NOT have any of the water enter inside me…only way I see if causing issues is if it got inside or like u suggest a very fresh shave…but she’s not making sound like a shave 😵💫

Hostels! I'm very glad they exist as cheap options for young people, exactly how I experienced them, but I'm now happy to close that chapter of my life lol. Extra privacy, extra cleanliness, and extra comfort are vastly more worth it to me now and fortunately I can afford that!
Crescent 3 1 year ago
I stayed in a hostel once and NEVER AGAIN! I was a contestant on a game show that taped in NYC. Unlike other game shows, this particular production company did not pay for hotel accommodations. The only place in Manhattan that I could afford for two nights was a hostel. It was a mall room in a very sketchy-looking building. The bed was little more than a cot. The room had a bare bulb light hanging from the ceiling and a small (12 in.), B&W TV with an antenna. Mind you this was in 2007. The bathroom and shower were down the hall. I didn't trust the cleanliness of the place so I slept on top of the covers for two nights. I couldn't wait to get back home! For the record - it was worth it because I won $16,000 on the show and got to meet Meredith Viera.
#22
Outdoor music festivals where you camp. My husband and I went to Sweetwater in Atlanta 2 years ago (when it was still cool) and it ruined other fests for me. We got to go see music all day long, then go back to the hotel and shower and actually SLEEP at the end of the day. I didn't realize how old I had become until I vowed to never sleep on the ground in the mud in a tent again.
David 1 year ago
At a regional burning man event I had an inflatable air mattress in my tent. Tent was near our giant music pyramid. The air mattress acted like a passive subwoofer - vibrating with the bass beat. It was amusing, and fun, but not how I'd like to sleep every night. And we did have showers - just had to walk a little ways to get to them.

Jet skiing.
My brother refused to slow down. My ankles, knees, hips and back were so f****d up from all the bouncing that when we stopped at a beach I couldn’t walk.
The jet ski was extremely bouncy, and we hit a particularly bad patch of water. We jumped and slammed back down and my head flew forward and my chin hit his back. I legitimately felt my brain rattle.
Two weeks later I was diagnosed with PCS after having nonstop migraines, throwing up, extreme lethargy and what I can only describe as disassociation.

Giant swing.
One I went on was 200+ft high when we pulled the quick release to drop. Thought since I love rollercoasters and thrill rides I’d enjoy it.
I did not like freefalling while parallel to the ground. At all. Only time I’ve let out a blood curdling scream of pure terror.

Never again will I attempt to cook a gourmet meal while simultaneously trying to entertain guests and keep my cat from jumping on the kitchen counter.

I wouldn't exactly call it bucket list item, but a few months ago I had a Carolina Reaper burger. I had to sign a waiver to purchase it. It came with gloves... ...I'm sure you can see where this is going... I will say that the experience of eating the burger itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the taste, but man it was by far the hottest thing I have ever eaten... ...The stomach cramps started about 20 minutes after I finished... ...they didn't stop for about 30 hours. No need to call me a dumbass, or ask me what I was thinking. I doubt you could say anything to me that is nastier than what my family said over the next week. I can still eat really hot food, but the craving isn't there anymore.
megasmacky 1 year ago
I don't get the appeal of super hot peppers. There's no flavour, it's just hot. I suspect a large majority of people who claim to like super hot food are lying because they think it makes them cool. No thanks, I'll stick with actually tasting and enjoying my food.

Never again will I date someone with narcissistic personality traits/cluster B disorder. You can’t help them. The chronic of the disorder makes them beyond repair from my experience, no matter how much they work on their symptoms? A narc will always be a narc.
Kristal 1 year ago
Okay I have a Cluster B (BPD) and there aren't "symptoms", it's straight up reactions to uncontrollable emotions. Not sure about the rest, but for BPD, you CAN control how you react to the emotions. It took me a bit to learn but it can be done. The trick is to admit that I suck, I am abusive, I am toxic, I hurt people. The problem is it's extremely hard for anyone to admit those things, let alone someone with a personality disorder. I say this to not let stigma continue for this diagnosis. I am not encouraging anyone to "stick it out" in a relationship cause of this. If the person is actually trying to change (and making progress), then they are a green flag. Otherwise, if they aren't willing to change, yeah, run from those red flags!
#35
Giving birth - did it 2 times. 10+ lb baby each time (that came into the world the usual way). I'm TOTALLY done! :-) Thrilled with the results, but NEVER want to give birth again! Hats off to surrogate mothers. A million dollars wouldn't be nearly enough for me to be pregnant and give birth again.

Being caring towards anyone and everyone. I was a huge people pleaser growing up. I let people who were clearly a******s walk all over me. I learned my lesson. A lot of people out there can and will screw you over. Don’t care if it’s life or death. They can get f****d. This isn’t some b******t fairytale where the person you save or help comes to a realization and you become friends. Fool me once shame on you. I’ll stick towards helping decent folk and the people I’m close to.

Drink and drive. I never hurt anyone, but there is a clear distinction between the level of care sober you has versus non sober you. 2 of my cars totalled because of it, nearly in the exact same way.

Now I just stay home and play Gran Turismo 7 VR and get absolutely shloshed lol.

Spelunking. In college my friends and I went to explore a nearby cave. You had to squeeze over a boulder and contort into a little opening to enter and then descend down into the cave. We got down to a largish room and took a break. There was a path to go further but I said I would just wait for them to come back. They went on - with the flashlights - and I stayed put in total and complete darkness. I don't know how long I waited, but when I began to hear their voices and see glimmers of light return I was beyond relieved. When we got out of the cave we all were muddy and sweaty and I knew I would never do anything like that again.
David 1 year ago (edited)
I have sat alone in a totally dark / totally quiet cave and I found it relaxing. Obviously I wouldn't want to be stuck there but doing it intentionally was nice. It was in caves I could walk down into so the risk of going alone was minimal. Though if I did have a medical emergency I doubt anyone would know I was there until they found my body. It was before cell phones were common but I doubt I would have had a signal anyway.

Whitewater Rafting. It looked like a rollercoaster on water. I love rollercoasters and I love water, win/win.

I always tear something if I stretch before warming up the tissue. Cold Yoga always damaged something.

I've had it with lame touristy places and crowds. It seems like a waste of money to go somewhere with the intention of R&R, but instead you have to deal with annoying people, screaming kids, traffic, basically everything I can get for free at home.
From now on, it'll be remote places, cabin in the woods, or staycations.

Bungee jumping, was on my bucket list so I did it and hated every second of it. Sky diving was fun and oddly not the least bit scary for me yet bungee jumping absolutely terrified me when I got there to do it.

I still dream of bungee jumping. Maybe starting with a smaller jump though. A local festival had quite low one and it was above river close to a beach. I wanted to do it when I turned 18 (needed to be of age), but the last year they held the bungee was when I was 17.

Many years ago, I went to this place that sells Christmas trees. It’s like a tourist trap kinda place where they’ve got bon fires, $9 hot apple cider, s**t for kids to do. Anyway, I went with an ex twice, both times it always ended in a fight. I loath this place, not because of her, but every time it’s raining and I’ve gotta be the absolute sucker to cut down the stupid god damn tree with a dull saw someone had in their garage for the last twenty years, and get soaked to the bone struggling to cut down a $90 spruce that someone’s going to watch die in their living room. Anyway, I am now with an absolutely lovely person who has kids, and she pulled a prank on me that we were going. I kinda had a melt down. I hate Christmas.

My wife of 24 years (and counting!) is from China (I'm American), and we've been back there more times than I can count. Going again next month. It has its irritations just like any country (especially the U.S...), but it has many, many compensating charms. Now, I prefer Iceland in the winter (which tells you how I feel about crowds), but I'm comfortable enough in China except during the really hot & humid times.

Go golfing with my FiL. I hadn't picked up a club outside of a minigolf course in 20 years at that point and I found out the hard way that he's ultra-competitive. Made for an absolutely miserable experience.

Move a grand piano.

With the proper piano moving equipment, two people can easily manage them if they know what they are doing and only a couple of steps are in the way. You really do need that tool that the piano rests on while installing the legs. To get the piano upright to attach the third leg, it swings on that tool. Almost no lifting at all.

Gum transplant. Use electric toothbrushes people and don't scrub too hard.

Broke my ankle last month. No thanks.

I'm 80 and tore my Achilles JUST WALKING earlier this year. Thankfully not fully ruptured, but I have just got out of 14 weeks in a moon boot. As it was my right leg, no driving. Not painful fortunately, but frustrating being stuck home and having to rely on people to take me enywhere. The older you are, the longer your body takes to repair.

Eat homemade pizza at the Indian non-711 convenience store.

Doesn't most of the cooked food at convenience and gas stations sit out for days?
#90
Getting my wisdom teeth removed. Sadly the doctor only removed two because it was all I needed at the time, so if those other two f*****s show up I am going to be suffering.

Will not date a preacher’s daughter.
Michael Largey 1 year ago
I (briefly) dated a minister's daughter who was deeply afraid that members of her father's church were watching her and reporting to her father. Not totally unreasonable close to home, but those same fears gripped her when we were hundreds of miles away from her father's church.
What do you think ?

Why stop there? I will never again work for someone else. F**k bosses! (I mean, unless they are me, of course :-).

I think this is more like "Did once and will never do again". The idea of a bucket list is you have never done it (and will want to). In this case, the never done thing is to STAY never done. Pretty much all of these were "oh I did this thing and I really didn't like it cause some reason and I will never do it again".

One that I have not tried, and have no attention of ever doing, is getting a tattoo. I know they're popular now, and I don't care if other people get them, but I can't think of any design I want on my body that I can't remove without a great deal of trouble.

then tattoos aren't for you, yeah. i have two tattoos that both mean a great deal to me, and i want more simply because i have more ideas and i genuinely enjoyed the healing process for them! but they're also expensive, which is why i'm lucky to have the two that i do have.

I have one that I did once and wouldn't recommend ever again to anyone else. My wife and I bought an old house, had it moved, stripped it down to the studs, and completely remodeled it, with me doing much of the work, while she was pregnant with our first child. Those are two sources of stress that no one needs at the same time.

Will never redo wood floor DIY again. My knees and back haven't recovered and it was 7 years ago. They looked great, made us some money on resale value, and doing it DIY definitely saved us money. Still not worth it!

I will never hop on the back of a golf cart driven by a drunken maid of honor.

To be fair, you should never hop on something moving when someone is drunk driving it.

Overnight Megabus from Glasgow to London. I was wedged into a corner the whole trip, and by the time we hit Victoria coach station in London I could barely walk my knees were so stiff.

Burning Man is on my anti-bucket list. It sounds absolutely awful, and I don't need to be there to figure out that I would hate it (crowds, being outdoors, heat, noise).

I will never live in a basement apartment again. I will never do ketamine again.

I will never go up in a hot air balloon. The one time I did it, crash landing that could have killed me and my friend's daughter

Watching Formula 1 races live in person. Everything about it is bad. The noise is deafening, don’t be fooled by the noise u hear on TV. Not to mention if it’s a day race, the temperatures in and around the track can get pretty hot. Everything within the track area is crazy expensive. Getting there and getting back home is a nightmare, doesn’t matter if you drive or take a public transport, especially if it’s a street circuit (road closures, detours, massive traffic jams). Not worth it. You end up your day with crazy migraines from the heat and the noise. I did it once, but then I went again to a different circuit just to give a benefit of doubt. I regret that decision. It’s a one-time experience, especially for those that like the sport, sure. Finally, now I have come to realize that the best experience is to have your buddies around, open up some beers, sit in an AC living room on a comfortable couch, and watch the sport on a large screen TV with a commentary and context.

Who talks like that about having a child, living with somebody else, having a puppy? Sounds like somebody who just doesn't like responsibilities or compromises and then the comments about Andrew Tate it just sounds like you're some woke person who has curated this list as someone who wants to have an easy life with no challenges and only think about yourself what a waste of a read

Ride a horse. It was like driving a car where the steering wheel and brakes didn't work. I wasn't terrified, I just had no chemistry with the horse and it was just something I didn't enjoy.

I will never, ever believe a human who says "I used to hit my spouse, but I've worked on myself and changed." There's a 99% chance that they have not, in fact, changed.
