Life can fall apart slowly over time. A few bad habits, even more bad decisions. Missed opportunities. Maybe the wrong crowd, coupled with some questionable relationships...
But other times, it only takes a moment for someone to completely wreck their life. Perhaps it was a poorly-timed comment, a "just-this-one-time" mentality, or even being caught unexpectedly on a Coldplay kiss cam. Whatever the reason, many people have managed to derail their lives at a speed, which is quite astounding.
Someone recently asked, "Who ruined their life the fastest?" and the replies sped in faster than the resignation of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron. Thousands of people shared stories about years of stability unraveled in an instant.
From silly decisions that led to fatal crashes, acts of self-sabotage that had the worst consequences, and even dumb comments that sent careers spiraling out of control... Bored Panda has put together a list of the most sobering responses for you to scroll through while you think about your own life choices. Many might make you step with caution to avoid doing anything that could alter your path forever.

Not the fastest, but you have to credit Elon Musk for the sheer scale of his downfall.
He went from Silicon Valley’s darling genius that was going to save the world, to detestable technofa**st and one of the greatest villains of this generation.
He is now the poster child of the ultra wealthy using their money to make our lives worse.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius. Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius. Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest s**t I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets. - Great Quote on Musk and his cult

Jeeps are prone to roll easily. Something that should be grilled into teens when they consider buying one, or anyone, really. Alas, teenagers just do stupid s**t to impress each other without realizing the danger. There was a teenage boy who died when a soccer football goal post fell on him. It was one of the bigger ones. He was hanging on it, then tried doing a flip around the bar, and the frame became unstable and fell, killing him instantly. All to impress a couple girls who were with him. Tbh, I didn't think they were that prone to toppling over.

10 a day? At that rate, the Paracetamol knocking out the liver would be my most pressing fear, as this stupid combination med has both, that and Hydrocodon, I think. Which I don't get - if a patient has a reason to take two pain meds, they can and should be prescribed and dosed seperately of each other. Mixing them only makes all their issues tied together, and makes one's limit the other's as well. I don't see any value in those combo pills that would outweight their plethora of disadvantages - Vicodin is cräp. 10 a day, are they, like, childrens' dose or something? How does that make any sense?

And yet, we're considered "High Seekers", which often is not true, and even if, it is morally judged, as if it would require something really bad being done, like killing an animal to make the pills off or so. The only useful function pain has is to warn you off from hazardous activities. Chronic pain is different - whatever the brain does most, it becomes most competent in. You learn math by doing math, and a constant pain signal will make the performance in pain perception grow. Slow enough that no day is different than yesterday, but never was last year as bad as this. I'd advise to act quickly, then, because you WILL act, and you will accept, at some point, every side effect. As the brain's performance can increase faster than tolerance in a well-dosed pain treatment, not taking any meds, or no opioides, can result in no other choice being left than taking strong opioides. After all, you'd likely exceed the amount (or strength) you would be using if you started at the beginning simply by waiting. I'd also advise to not rule out anything - including but not limited to opioides - too quick, as the treatment that is done with the medicine plays a crucial role in all outcomes as well.

opiates are a double-edged sword. People who honestly need help with pain management can't get the medication they need. They don't a***e it. They need it to have some quality of life as they go through their day. Then you have the fakers looking to get high or get rich selling their prescriptions. There are no winners here and it makes life difficult for doctors as they choose to prescribe or not based on what patients are telling them.

There's a lot of bad regulations and abüse in the medical field, but also, some very good regulations. At the end of the day, you are the patient and you have the final and last say about any therapy attempt of any kind. The Doctor is not supposed to decide on your behalf, but to inform you about options you have, and which downsides they might have. If a side effect is acceptable, ultimately, is up to you, as you're the one who will have it. Therefore, knowing and understanding your condition as well as any therapies that might, or might not, fit, is crucial.

I was monitored by my doctors, the pharmacy, but only to an extent. Again, this was just after the Pandemic and Lockdowns so they were still stretched... I'm now free and clear from all opiods. I'm very, very lucky because the Tramadol sent me absolutely batcrap crazy as in hallucinations, delusions. I one day realised....

My dad was a pilot. As a child I sometimes sat in the cockpit if there were no seats available on the flight (we flew standby). There are so many buttons and switches and controls that it was overwhelming. I would be terrified to touch anything. Apparently the pilot let his 15 year old son sit at the controls and he partially disengaged the autopilot, which then fully turned off and the pilot autocorrected when trying to avoid the crash.

My dad used to be a pilot too, so was my granddad, grandma and uncle (mom flied with glider and balloons). Only with smaller planes, but they took me flying pretty often with various types of planes. I basically grew up at the airport (working there currently too as OPS). One of the very first things I learned in life is that you don't touch any of the buttons, plugs, dials or anything in the plane (and the car) even if it's glowing pretty. Never even tried, I always kept my hands neatly on my lap. When I was bigger, there were times when my dad let me control the Cessna for short periods, but he was always keeping his hand on the yoke. I can't even imagine a pilot letting their kid taking over the plane, especially one full of passengers. fücking idiots.

My older brother had a pretty epic collapse. He was waiting tables at one of the best restaurants in our city and was promoted to bartender and was being fast tracked to management. I know waiting tables and bartending doesn't sound like a big deal, but he was making around $100k a year and only working about 30-35 hours a week. He bought a house, a new car, and had a dog. Then he got into d***s.
One week everything is great. The next week his roommate moves out abruptly. I'm guessing he had been spiraling without the family knowing, but she saw it all coming. She leaves abruptly, the car gets repossessed, and the bank seizes the house. He moved in with my dad, but after 2-3 days my dad puts him in the VA hospital. After a few days there he bounces out and declares himself a new man. Moved back in with my dad. After a couple of days there, he's back at the VA, then out to basically a homeless shelter. This is all within like a 2-3 week span. That was 15 years ago. He's been bouncing in and out of shelters in Baltimore and Boston since.

A friend of mine decided that she was polyamorous. Her husband was supportive and she starting dating a married guy in another state, literally driving hours back and forth every other weekend to see him.
Out of the blue, after a few months of this, she says that she doesn't feel attracted to her husband anymore and might want a divorce. He is blindsided and willing to work on the relationship (he did nothing wrong and had been nothing but supportive of her), and her friends all beg her to try counseling before going nuclear for no reason. She ignores this and divorces him, ruining both her and her husband's life out of nowhere. She moves to the other state with the other guy and his wife, where she loses contact with her friends and family and basically becomes a mistress to him and watches the couple's baby for free.
The poor husband was devastated. We're still friends with him and he's remarrying to a lovely woman, but I still mourn the loss of my friend who just fucked up her entire life to go be miserable.

If anyone dies in a crash due to a DUI the driver should face a murder charge. People know they're going out to drink and need to get home safely. Plus, even small towns have programs to help people get rides, and social media platforms like Facebook could connect drunks with safe rides to ensure families are protected.

A friend of mine was in college and had a great life until he decided to drive extremely drunk and got into a horrible accident. He ended up with many broken bones and a very expensive DUI case. He got expelled from college. He couldn't find a job for years after that.

I believe motor infractions, especially DUI and speeding and reckless driving, should be severely punished at the first offense, generally with prison time, loss of license, and impoundment of the car. Motor infractions are reckless endangerment of the public. It is ridiculous to wait until someone is severely injured or killed.

plenty of good answers I see already, one I think of is Otto Warmbier. While I doubt we'll ever know for sure what exactly happened, he made some small choice, whether innocent or foolish, that ruined and subsequently ended his life. I remember at the time of the incident he had the persona of a privileged twat who thought touring north korea would be a fun gag, and quickly FAFO'ed. Now its North Korea so how much of it was manufactured? IIRC the incident was that he tampered with a poster or something. that we'll never know, but one could argue just being an American traveling to North Korea in the first place as a 'tourist' is asking for it.

Remember, those who survived the trip were the most fit, those who were bought were the most fit of those, and then figure in the breeding that was done, and yeah.

Apparently she went into rapping when she was young because she was trained more classically and decided it was a waste because she found it boring. No idea if that's true or not but she can fucking sing as well as rap. I still listen to her songs because she doesn't fall into the Lostprophets category for me, but it's sad to see someone do such a massive injustice to themselves (especially, y'know, if you do it in the area in which you want to succeed).

Most of the big winners end up like that. They win $30 million and then spend as though they had $300 million. People look at somebody like Bezos, and think that, with $30 million, you can throw around money like somebody who had billions. So they buy five cars, each almost a million, a house worth $10 million, a yacht worth $5 million, spend another $5 million on jewelry , $5 million goes for taxes, millions more for upkeep on the cars, boats, and home, and soon the entire $30 million is gone. That's if they're not sued by people coming out of the woodwork claiming that the winner agreed to split the money with them. Some are easily ripped off by charlatans and con artists.

however by that time already in 30s having wasted 2 decades.. am still far from recovered and battle ptsd anxiety attacks fatigue neurological and brain issues that made it impossible to work hence became homeless (this will be my 7th winter)

My brother. Repeatedly hung out with the kids my mom and I told him time and time again that they were not good people and you’ll get in trouble.
Fast forward half a year later and he was arrested with those friends for robbing 3 liquor stores with guns. He only got off because he was what the cops called the bag boy who didn’t hold any weapon or hurt anyone. Well, that and I got him a lawyer who frequently represented organized crime members and got 99% of them off with a slap on the wrist. Him being white we were targeted by my brothers friends family and we were stalked, menaced and had weak molotovs and bricks thrown at our house. We were blamed for being racist and that’s why he got off not understanding that he didn’t even hold a gun, had no priors and his friends were known gang bangers who’ve been known to pressure others into doing things.
Well, anyway he now has a record that will follow him everywhere now.

Actually, the record won't follow him (unless he is again arrested for something serious), because he was a juvenile at the time. It's my understanding that these records are sealed.

So was your brother white, or was it his lawyer? Not sure of the significance of this.

You're not sure what the significance of being white is in the penal system? Are you stupid?

Not super famous, but definitely notable. The streamer/youtuber Cryaotic.
Had a big following from his YouTube days. Did videos with PewDiePie before switching over to Twitch full-time. He would pull in a good 4000 viewers per.
Then, as I understand it, he started an antidepressant that altered his brain chemistry a bit too much, and he started seeing himself as an activist and hero.
Then he posts a YouTube video where he admits he groomed girls on the internet. Everything cascades from there and he disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Rudy Giuliani. He was America’s mayor during 9/11. He was an example of strength and perseverance. If you don’t agree with that then maybe you can at least agree that he had some prestige. But he became a joke and ultimate loser when he hitched his wagon to the Trump train.

James Dean. Starred in three movies. This back in the sixties. Bought a small sports car. One night/day was driving way to fast. Went around a curve. Lost control and killed himself. Could have a very good career as a movie star.

Gerald Ratner was chief executive officer of the major British jewellery company Ratner Group. He referred to the company's products as "total crâp" and some earings as "cheaper than a prawn sandwich from Marks and Spencer's, but I have to say the sandwich will probably last longer than the earrings". After his comment the value of the Ratner group plummeted by around £500 million, which very nearly resulted in the group's collapse. Ratner hired a chairman in an attempt to stabilise the situation, and was dismissed by the new company chairman in November 1992. The group changed its name to Signet Group in September 1993.

Isn't he the one that was always gushing about his wife and like bringing her up all the time, like that was his thing? I don't remember much, I only saw their stuff a couple of times.

People forget Gus Ferocq. Went from head quarterback of the Redskins to absolutely nothing because he celebrated his first win with a celebratory bashing his head into a wall into a concussed idiot with no future in 20 seconds.
