People Online Talk About The 24 Things They Did Once And Promised “Never Again”
Most of us probably have some list, whether written or ‘written’ in our heads, of things that we want to do in our lives. It may be some activities, such as, let’s say, scuba diving, or visiting some location that we dreamed of. However, there are also things that we don’t really wish to go through, but sometimes it’s unavoidable; I mean things like surgeries or puberty.
But, in any way, sometimes when our dreams become reality, it leaves us disappointed. These activities that we were so much looking forward to didn't even bring us joy, this dream country that looked like paradise led to disappointment or something that looked so fun while others were doing it made our whole life flash before our eyes.
On that note, not long ago, one Reddit user started a discussion online asking folks what things they did once in their life but have no wish to do again. People online confessed to quite a variety of things that they realized doing once was enough, if not even too much. So here are 31 of them - sit back, scroll through them and share your opinion!

Go to a casino. I don’t see the appeal.
I've been to Vegas twice, and that was 2 times too many. Both were with buddies, who were all excited about it, getting caught up in the manufactured glamour that's been sold to so many people about the town. But it just left me feeling kinda icky ... the entire town exists to take your money. And it's friggin' hot, unless you're in a casino. No thanks. I enjoy poker night with my buddies, but at least if I happen to lose there, I'm helping one of them pay their rent, rather than making a billion-dollar corporation even richer.
Be fat. I weighed 296 and I lost 50 pounds and feel so much lighter, faster, better looking and more flexible I still want to lose another 20 but I feel great I never want to look like that ever again
Think things will get better.
Whether its a toxic relationship, a bad family member, or an awful workplace these things ain't getting better.
Go see the ball drop on New Years Eve in Times Square. Crowded, cold, and full of drunk, rowdy people. It was an experience I’ll always remember but never doing it again.
EDIT: Also forgot to add no going to the bathroom for about 3 hours because you are stuck in the crowd unless of course you want to just whip it out and relieve yourself outside which was definitely an option for some folks. Oh and the puking for the guys that started celebrating a little too early.
Drink to get drunk. I did it once, in the company of trusted friends, and my overwhelming feeling was, 'this is it? Boring.'. Then I had my first (and only) hangover. Never again. I get migraines. Why would I do something to bring me more pain?
Skydiving. Absolutely amazing experience, but I came down in some woods, shattered my tibia and massively dislocated my ankle when I landed on a fallen tree. Surgeon told me in no uncertain terms that jumping again would be risking my ability to walk.
I jumped off a cliff into a lake once. That was enough for me. I really don't like the feeling of falling but I had told myself that I was going to do it. And that cliff was so high that, once my body realized it was falling, and I kept falling, I kinda went into a fight or flight response and didn't like the way it felt.
Bobsled in Tyrol Austria.
It was a part of the tour I was on if we wanted to. It was in summer, so 4 of us were "driven" down the course by an Olympic medalist who steered the vehicle.
Though I was gonna die. No lie. Had no control of my neck, and thank God for the safetey gear and helmet.
It's way worse than any roller-coaster I've been on. It felt like a strongman was pushing my head in all directions.
Visit Key West. Big, ugly, dirty, dug-filled city on an island.
Chocolate covered cherries. Disgusting.
The musical *Cats*. Being lit on fire would be more enjoyable.
Apple picking.
Jumping out of a chairlift to snowboard in fresh powder. Jump was about 20ft. Powder was 5ft. deep. The slope was closed due to danger of avalanche. Had the time of my life for 100 seconds then had to outrun French Police on skis 😅
