30 ‘Screw It, I’ll Deal With The Consequences Later’ Moments, As Shared By People Online
Whether you’re a serial procrastinator, a risk-taker, or just plain don’t care, consequences will get to you all the same, but your conscience will be affected to a smaller or greater degree depending on which category of people you fit into.
Whatever the case, there comes a time when you do end up saying “screw this, I’ll deal with whatever comes because of this later” and just go for it. And the internet is full of like-minded individuals sharing their stories too, as seen in this one AskReddit post.
So, someone asked the lovely folks on Reddit “what was your ‘screw it, I’ll deal with the consequences later’ moment?”, and loads of folks delivered their intriguing stories of how they… well, probably not regretted their choices, but they certainly told the consequences to get out of here, and had to live through whatever would happen.
Scroll down to check out the best answers in our curated list below, and while you’re at it, cast your vote on the ones you enjoyed the most, comment your thoughts and share your own stories of “consequences be damned” in the comment section below!

I had put in vacation for 2 days to go back home for my grandpa’s bday 4 months in advance. Request gets accepted. 2 weeks before my vacation, there is a shift change and now my trip would take up a whole week of work. I inform my boss that I’ll be taking a whole week now, he tells me that’s fine and to go update the vacation request. I go to HR to update my request, instead of just changing the date range the HR person tries to delete the request and make a new one. Only problem is we were in a vacation blackout time (no new requests get accepted for that month because of workload), so they end up canceling my vacation and then go “oh whoops looks like you can’t put in a new request too bad”. My boss gets pissed and has my back but HR isn’t budging, not the first time our department has been screwed over. I tell HR “I’m still going on vacation. I’m not gonna miss out on seeing my family because you guys are incompetent. Fire me or don’t fire me, I don’t really care at this point.” My boss tells me to enjoy my time off and we can worry about stuff when I get back from break. Grandpa’s bday was great, had fun seeing the family and friends from back home. I come back after a week and I’m still employed. Boss and boss’s boss explained to HR that I’m the only one in our department who’s qualified to do what I do, and if they want to lose a bunch of money getting a 3rd party contractor to replace me than that’s their right to, they’ll just have to explain to the finance officer and general manager why we’d be bleeding money all of a sudden. I don’t work there anymore but I hope my old boss is doing well, he was a homie.
Side story, that same boss took 2 weeks of vacation when the Shadowlands expansion of WoW released. Man’s got his priorities straight haha. When I asked him what did he tell HR and his boss he was like “Those people don’t need to know what I do or don’t do with my vacation time, I’m taking my vacation time.”

My favorite is when a Job has you do all the work that you would during your vacation before or after it. I mean come on if you're making me do the work still it's not really a vacation it's just moving when stuff is done around. I get that the work has to be done but if you don't have someone to cover it while I'm on vacation what are you going to do when I'm gone. Your boss is great we need more people like him.

It was awful. I was excited because I really enjoyed Battle of Azeroth and put tons of hours into it, but then Shadowlands sucked the enjoyment out of the game for me and I haven't played as much since, mostly my lower level characters since they're still in interesting zones.

I do agree that you don't need to tell why you're using your vacation time, especially when it's filed in advance. However, I like telling my managers when I'm taking off for a new videogame or movie. I took off of work the day Infinity War came out, even though the showtime was hours after my shift ended.

I'm going to go against the grain on this one. Don't get me wrong here, I love dogs, I have 2 of them, as well as 34 more animals I care a great deal about out in my pasture. But if you just started your job, you will probably lose it for something like this. I've seen a lot of people loose theirs for significantly less if you're still in your probationary period. Not saying it's right, or 100% going to happen. But if you just walk out on the new job, chances are that the boss isn't even going to give you the opportunity to explain yourself. Nor is he obligated to do so. I'll down vote myself on the way out.

1998 - on my first date with a woman I'd met in an online chat room. We did the boring, cliched dinner and a movie thing. Things got hot and heavy in the theater. After the movie we drove back to her apartment and she invited me in. I had plans the next morning, but said what the hell. I didn't leave until 5:00 the next morning, and ended up blowing off my plans.
She and I have been together ever since.

Unprotected sex.

My parents did that and I spent most of my childhood thinking I was some sort of defective abomination because they resented my existence, and their religious bigot families also treated me poorly a lot because my existence was somehow an affront to God.

Quit my job when I was 24 and went traveling around the world for a year. Parents wanted me to buy a house with my savings but I spent it all on seeing the world instead.

You gained some cultural experiences and met some interesting people, I'm sure. Idk why parents are so bent on us buying houses. Not even to rent out or flip and sell. Just to live in and sink money into repairs all the time just like they have imo. js (My mom certainly didn't enjoy owning a house.)

It's good advice. If I would I have bought in my 20s, I would have paid around 60k for my home. In my 30s, that same house would have been 100k. Now, that home is 300k. Traveling is awesome. It broadens the mind and, to me, make life exciting. Neither option is bad. But your mom is trying to look out for your financial future

I think this one comes down to Mass media pushing for buying a house then saving for retirement then you can go see the world but a lot of people have figured that they won't make it to retirement and alot of those that do are physically incapable of doing something that they may want to do on a world trip or even just a country wide trip in the USA.

Every time I tell myself, "I'll just get gas before I drive to work tomorrow" and then find myself running 15 minutes late. You'd think I would learn at some point.

Yes, you only run out of gas once in your life - hopefully. I try to never let it get below a quarter tank now I don’t live in the city with gas stations on every corner. My husband, however, “likes” to return custody of a vehicle so that the light comes on when I’m driving down my driveway. I really hate that.

Doing this actually saved me a tank of gas once. Was super low on gas, like fumes level, but was tired and decided to wait till morning. Well, overnight someone siphoned gas from the cars in my lot, including mine (broken inlet to the tank) and I was actually thankful I'd waited for once

I worked a job that basically no one else could do unless they had extensive training. And basically no one else could or wanted to do it but me. My boss knew this. He also knew if for whatever reason I hadn't slept the night before I'd either not come in or I'd work a really short day. He'd pull people from other dept's to prep my work so all I'd have to do was my little part and go home. I also had him paying me for full days when I would work short ones. I'd still be there if the company wouldn't have been bought out. Only job I've ever had that I actually miss.

Broke down fishing way out in the sticks with my cousin. We were out of cell service. It was getting dark and we were walking back towards the main roads.
We spotted a black bear walking the trail behind us. It kept its distance but clearly smelled my backpack full of trout.
I dropped the bag of fish and we kept moving. Seen a cabin up ahead so we broke the door open and stayed there untill morning. While there i found some spark plugs in a drawer while searching for a piece paper and a pen to leave a note.
The plug wasn't the same my UTV called for. But it was a close match just a hotter plug #8 vs a #9. We left a note stating i took 2 spark plugs. Used the propane and stove to cook a can of soup we found aswell as some crackers.
Left $100 for the door knob/lock and the plugs aswell as my contact info.
3 weeks later the owner called said not to worry. He was glad his cabin helped us. And i asked if he wanted anymore compensation but he said no. Cabin was not vandalized and he had a spare doorknob in the shed.
So yeah i broke into a cabin for the night. Took some spark plugs to fix my side by side and ate some vegetable soup.
Left owner 5 $20 bills and fixed my machine and went home. Also the bear took our catch....
Edit: I would like to stress always being prepared when venturing out in the woods. As you know i was not. My side by side was only a year old with 1200 kms. So i didn't anticipate a issue which was dumb. I had spare gas, tire plugs, compressor and a drive belt. Failed to remember a spare spark plug.
We had with us about 3L of water left. Some MRE's with the flamless food warmers. A coil of 1/4 rope, knives and a med kit aswell as our catch of trout. We also had a survival .410 with a rifled barrel to accept Colt .45 pistol rounds.
I have never had to fire it while on fishing trips but i knew i had something incase of a emergency.
But yeah never get complacent with your vehicles and always be prepared. I should have reviewed my kit before leaving.
As for the cabin we were very respectful. We listed what we used/took and left contact info. With the door broken i slept with the couch pulled up to the door. Since it was a in-swing. When we left we used some of the 1/4 rope to tie the door shut to keep animals and the elements out.
Be safe out there!

Thank you Maccabi!! You give me hope for humanity 😊. I once had to buy an extremely old and beat up $300 car because my previous one got totalled and whilst I was driving to meet up with my cousin and sister, the car over heated and I had to pull over in a shady street. An older gentleman that looked like he was in a gang saw me and walked up to check on me. He noticed that the radiator hose was broken so he went back home and brought tools and his brother. They worked on my car for maybe 20 minutes and I was good to go. I offered money and they wouldn't take it. I even offered them to join me to a bar down the street but they said I didn't owe them anything and sent me on my way with a bible. I'll never forget their kindness.

That's the "code 9f the wilderness". Take shelter if it's needed, don't be a d**k about it. In remote areas it's expected that doors will be unlocked in case some is stuck without shelter in hazardous temps. It's also expected that you will be a respectful guest. Failing to abide by this brands you town asshat. Also, in certain parts of Alaska, at certain times of year, there are roads you can't drive in without a full tank of gas and no one is going to risk their life to rescue you.
Strange Fate 3 years ago
A little curious to know how (or if) you locked the cabin after you left...? It was so broken that you had to prop the door during the night so it must have been difficult to leave it not unprotected while still making sure the owner could access it whenever he got to it after you left, and you wouldn't have know when he'd be making the trip back to the cabin... Not trying to be accusatory, genuinely curious.

I was a teenager in a friend's car, we were smoking weed. Then he was getting pulled over. Driver said "throw it man!". I was like "he'll see that anyway, and this car smells a lot like weed anyway, also it's good, lemme just finish this real quick".
So the cop arrived at the car and I was this kid sitting there smoking weed. The look on his face was kind of hilarious.

Just an educational drug program for teens where they ignore every single reason for anybody doing drugs and just tell you facts about them. And then they tick a box and send it back to a judge and then everybody goes back to doing drugs and if the adults have played it well then somebody makes a profit. *shrug*"

Exactly. Just treat them the same as your debit card. No unnecessary expenditures. Know how much money is coming in and going out, and you can make a ridiculous amount of free money from them.

Was teaching English in Myanmar on an expired visa. One month turned to six and when I finally left I realized the airport people were going to look at my expired visa and get mad at me. I remember being at my jungle school and informing the headmaster I was working with that my visa was expired and I’d need a few days to go into Rangoon to get it extended. He said he was going to pretend i didn’t say that and we were both going to forget this conversation because he didn’t want to risk the government denying my extension and kicking me out of the country (or arresting me) since I agreed to teach a whole year... No one at the airport noticed though.

Full 🧢...... Myanmar visas are 28 or 70 days. If they accepted a job to teach for a yr the school would have sponsored a work visa for the duration. They would not have offered employment to someone on a tourist visa. And immigration wouldn't have just "not noticed". That's not how it works. Ppl make up the weirdest s**t for the internet.

Was about to hit a tree while snowboarding.
Either break my board on it to lessen the blow or break my body on it.
Chose to protect my board.
Regretted ever since.
A lot of people asking what the damage was:
My thigh slammed into the tree and took the full brunt of it. I didn’t break any bones but couldn’t walk for two weeks. However, that was the best part.
I went to the hospital for a check and they said it was all good but what they didn’t notice was that my right side of my back had shifted.
So when I tried to run or play sports, the ligaments and meniscus is both knees got destroyed and now I can’t run anymore

Internal tissue damage can be worse pain than an actual break. I hit my pinky toe on a doorframe. It just tingled at first then got more and more painful to the point it was excruciating and I couldn't walk on my foot. The nurse I saw said because it's not a break provincial health wouldn't cover the sturdy sandal but she knew nerve damage is more painful than a break, so she had some mercy and gave me the sandal on the house lol. It took weeks for it to get better.

This is such an important entry of this comedy article! If I'm ever asked 4 advice by someone from a more recent generation I ALWAYS say protect your body like you're a boring shut-in with no life or interests. I got a pretty severe injury that resulted in living with constant pain & had to give up so much. I miss working out & my resulting earned physique the most. Worst part of that was I didnt return to my scrawny, 98lb, almost no body fat pre-exercise physique... no, fate decreed that I now have to look like an American stereotype even though I don't have bad dietary habits, for the most part... Missed out on another American stereotype by not suing the a$$ off my employer (was stupid in thinking I didn't want to BE that stereotype & also my boss who hired me was "supposedly" an old friend whose treatment of me became f'd up when came to light that her commitment to middle management was more important than ANY of her employees... discovered 2 late that a lotta laws were broken...

That's insane!! Sorry to hear about your injury. The closest I got to something similar was once when I was riding my beach cruiser to work down a very steep road. I was about to reach the main street cross road and my chain jumped off so I couldn't break. I was going very fast and had to decide between taking my chances that no car would cross or take a dive on the sidewalk. I jumped of my bike and almost crashed at a concrete light post. The hit must've been pretty bad because 3 cars pulled a side to ask if I was ok and in need of medical assistance. I ended with really bad scrapped knees and hands. I had to call my job to called off and my c*** of a manager had me ride to work to show her the damage. This happened about 8 years ago and my skin is still discolored lol.

The thing he says he has "tenitis" is most likely a misspelling. Could be either tinnitus or more likely tendinitis (which is an inflammation of the ligaments connecting the joints and hurts like heck). Could be tetanus as well, but that is a truly dangerous infection leading to death untreated and in a lot of countries it needs to be reported. So hopefully he didn't mean that 😅 and of course tetanus has nothing what so ever to do with getting old 🤣

I hiked through 6 miles of public land early one morning doing some pre-season deer scouting for the upcoming deer season. Took several hours to complete and i was exhausted when i got to my truck. Only to see my best friend had texted me at some point asking if I want to join him on an over night camping trip. Said f**k it. Got home. Grabbed my camp pack. Met him at another spot on public land and we hiked another 4 miles in before setting up camp. That night and the next week, my legs felt as if they were ready to rip themselves off. Might not sound like a lot of miles but when 90% of it is off trail bush wacking. Climbing over logs and through thick brush. Its a good bit of work.

So. Much. This. Never knew how important it was to listen to your body! I did a 10 mile (5 miles to & 5 miles from) hike alone in the woods one day and at about half the way back (7 ½ miles) my legs also felt like they wanted to break off. Before I knew it, somehow destroyed my Achilles tendon. No cell reception, no one around, and nowhere close to anything. I was in so much pain! I had to drag myself the last 2 ½ miles to the park entrance before another hiker saw me and was able to help me to my car to drive to the ER. Lesson # 1. Listen to your body and take a break when it tells you it needs one. Lesson # 2 NEVER hike alone.

I took a friend hiking last year to find a heart shaped rock by a waterfall. First time I ever hiked with her but she swore she goes hiking all the time. We got there late afternoon and we made it to the rock. She was disappointed that the waterfall was small and wanted to find a bigger one. It was about 4 at this time and I told her that we should call it a day and try again next week at an earlier time. She said that we were already there and that we should press on, so I said f*** it, let's go. We kept at it and the road turned into a real obstacle course. We were climbing down rocks and logs for an hour and I had to tell her we were done. She asked why if there's still daylight. I had to explain to her how our hike back was going to be pitch black for her to realize that me f***ed up. The way back was horrible! This women DID NOT know climb. I had to push her up every rock. The last 2 miles were so dark but we made it to my car... She's no longer welcome to hikes with me LMAO.

I used to unload freight from delivery trucks for a living. Most the s**t was half haphazardly thrown in without regard to anything. It gets a bit frustrating. One time I had got to the back of the truck and there was one pallet left. The pallet itself was crushed with these concrete barriers that were stacked on it. They never should have loaded it that way and they knew it. It would be impossible to unload by hand, but I couldn't get the fork lift all the way under the crushed pallet.
I decided ultimately to just say f**k it. I leveled the forks at pallet level, backed up about 30 feet, and then rammed it full speed. The forks went clean through the pallet..... and the back of the truck. I got those concrete barriers off though.

That's some consequences to deal with! What is the limit in the US? 70/ 80 something, right? So what is the fine for 140mph? In Switzerland you do not only walk for a long time. With this speeding they take your car and wreck it. And they fine you six ways from Sunday. So not only are you no longer allowed to drive, you have no car (but you still pay for the car you don't have) and you pay something between 5k to 50k depending on your yearly income. So real speeding? Big NONO! Them consequences will fůck you 🙈

I had a whole ordeal with my wife developing a neurological disorder and my chain of command allowed me to come off the ship a couple days to get her help at the hospital. There was a miscommunication where they made me come back on the ship sitting off the coast and left her behind. I got brought into a room with maybe 5 chiefs and my division officer to get absolutely railed. I went fully numb and responded to everything in the most nonchalant way and when they threatened to bring me all the way up the discipline pole, I asked them to “please do. I’d love the face time with the captain, maybe I could actually help my wife.” It went nowhere after that but after I went straight to my rack and setup my uniforms just in case. Later in that same ordeal my wife and I were involved in an email chain where my XO and chiefs basically lied about the situation and we sent a novel correcting every piece with a “just so we’re all on the same page.”

He was brought before a council of officers who ripped him five ways from Sunday for leaving the ship without permission. This went on and culminated in an email chain where those officers lied about what happened. The OP and wife replied to that email with great details on what *actually* happened

I had developed feelings for a coworker (small company, about 20 people), we kinda flirted at work and some people were starting to suspect something but we managed to keep it professional. One night we had a few drinks, could not decide to part ways, one thing led to another... the morning after when we woke up together, neither of us could muster the strength to go to work : she called in sick, and a few minutes later I sent an email to use a day off, as things were quite slow at work anyway. But we knew all too well that the both of us not showing up, with coworkers aware of our plans to get drinks together the night before, well, we weren't going to fool anyone. And the following weeks/months were pretty awkward indeed (we never made it official, for the time it lasted).

I used to work at an animation studio until a few months ago.
It was an 8-5 with unpaid OT, far from home and s****y pay. It was a terrible experience, only reason I stuck around so long is because I was in a tricky situation and wanted my credits on their project.
In January this year I got f*****g tired of working long hours in an office job because I'd been employed since October and I hadn't been paid since then because "the salaries had been delayed due to budgeting issues".
Ahhh this was a really bad time for me. Family was over, and for once I had no money to treat them to something nice, all because I chose to work at that filthy studio.

This is a dumb post but there is a good point in it -- "20 percent of all car accidents occur during left turns – making them 55 times more dangerous compared to the average right-hand turn"...So it's a good idea to plan your travel to minimize left turns. People who drive high profile people such as politicians around are trained to only use right turns even if it adds a lot to the trip time.

Context: I'm a race car driver.
Went to England to test a car, and immediately lost my wallet and Green Card (my only way back into the US...) Went through the process of having a temporary one issued at the London embassy, but had to wait for it to be delivered by courier back to me. Absolutely on pins and needles because I *needed* to be back in the US for a race, and I'd been stuck in the UK for 3 weeks by this point.
Got the text that the ID was delivered, met my teammate's mom on the side of the highway to grab it, and drove straight to Heathrow, racking up enough automated speeding fines to drain the bank. Booked the flight on the way, and it was starting to board when we arrived.
We left the rental car in an airport parking structure with the keys in it and RAN. Later emailed Sixt with a pic of the car and the name of the garage...
Made the flight, made the race, but we're no longer allowed to rent from Sixt. We'd also stuffed the rental in a ditch in Scotland a few days before, and left the ripped-off body panels stuffed in the trunk. So maybe that didn't help? Still worth it. Won the race!
