How To Ruin Your Entire Life: 35 Scary And Sobering Stories Shared By People Online
Interview With Author
It just takes a few quick scrolls through the week’s news to see how an entire life can be ruined in the blink of an eye. Sometimes it’s because of a bad decision. Other times, someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We read about people being maimed in freak accidents, dozens dying in unexpected attacks, or once-respected figures being suddenly locked up for crimes they were caught committing.
Yet, as much as we read about these tragedies and wasted lives, we often don’t think it’ll happen to us. And we hope nothing bad will ever happen to those we know. Someone was pondering this the other day, and decided to ask “What did someone you know do that ruined their entire life?” Hundreds of people came to the comments to share their stories, and Bored Panda has collected the most hard-hitting ones. Keep scrolling for some tragic and sobering reminders of just how precious life is, and how quickly things can change. We also had a very brief chat with the person who posed the original question.

Friend of mine has bad borderline personality disorder, anxiety and depression. Has been trying for kids ever since she was 20. Succeeded a few years later after lots of miscarriages. She has 2 (4 and 5) now and boy, they are traumatized by her behavior. The older one is in therapy because of behavioral issues. The only good thing is her uterus had to be removed or who knows how many more children she'll f**k up. But thinks she's a Saint regarding her offspring

My uncle smoked weed, triggered schizophrenia and at one point he poured petrol on himself and lit it on fire. He lost half his fingers and his wife and kids. He lived on and off in supported living but never managed to work again, spent most of his days smoking and drinking coke. Ended up with emphysema and oesophageal issues because the amount of coke he drank ate away at it.

More people need to know there is a strong link between heavy cannabis use and psychosis. It's involved in 50% of all psychotic cases, including schizophrenia. Half. There are other factors of course, and not everyone who uses will have a psychotic break, but people need to know it's a risk: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3927252/

It takes a strong brave person to go into rehab and recovery. I've never been there but from what I understand it can be tough road from people I've scheduled appts for. You stay strong and keep those demons away from you. You can do this keep on fighting and seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist and taking meds if they have been prescribed.

A friend I made in my neighborhood when we were really young had a really troubled home life. He started drinking young and when he was 18 he was driving his friends back from a party, drunk, crashed the car and k*lled all 5 of his passengers, 2 of whom were his childhood best friends and 1 his girlfriend. He survived and got life in prison. He k*lled himself in his cell about 8 years later.

It's often the drunk driver who ends up surviving. Except I did know an idiot who decided to drive a company tow truck to a party. (He was allowed to have the truck at his home. Don't think he was allowed to drive it outside work hours.) Him and his girlfriend left, he was drunk. Not sure about her, but she was unqualified to drive a tow truck. They were speeding down a highway, when she came to an intersection I guess she tried to use the breaks but didn't know she couldn't stop as fast as a regular car can, she lost control and the truck flipped a bunch of times. She wasn't wearing a seat belt, got thrown out the cab, died on impact. He was in the cab, still, the truck caught on fire and exploded.

Every rural town has their own version of Deadman's Curve, and my town had one. Group of drunken high schoolers, our classmates/friends, school athletes and their girlfriends, didn't make the curve one night. Four died and two were disabled for life. The route to the wake included this curve, that took the lives of several more of our classmates on route to the wake. A pall fell over the town for many years.

I am terribly ashamed to admit I often drove when I ABSOLUTELY shouldn’t have when I was young. We don’t really have public transportation where I live and this was before uber and Lyft etc., we also don’t have cabs. That’s no excuse though. I never had an accident but that was pure luck. I made sure to drill into my daughter to never make my mistakes. I am happy to say she’s a responsible drinker. I really wish I hadn’t been so ignorant when I was young.

It's not only the young that act so irresponsibly. My father was up on DUI 3 times and only just got away with not being put in jail the last time. He lost his licence and I don't think he ever drank and drove after that. I remember a few times when I went with him to his social golf tournaments, and he got absolutely wasted. He still drove and I can remember being petrified when he used to veer over the other side of the street. Luckily it was in a rural area and no cars came at us. But it could have been a lot worse. I hate drunk drivers.

We used to wrestle the car keys out of our drunken friends' hands. Yes, we were young and stupid, but not *that* stupid. One managed to drive anyway, and as if by fate, crashed his car and his best friends femur, fortunately not more than that. Unfortunately, too often drunk drivers get the rapists' excuse of "didn't know what they were doing". That would only work if it's the first time they're drunk, but of course it's not.

My best friend had to choose between saving his wife or unborn child, during a medical emergency. He chose his wife.
Both survived thankfully, but the decision f****d him up so badly he turned to alcohol. Lost his job, wife (although she still loved him, but understandably she couldn't be with him) and in August last year he died.
Such a sad ending for something that couldn't be helped.

There's a really interesting play in London at the moment called "Punch". It's based on the life of a man called Jacob Dunne, who killed James Hodgekinson with one punch. With the help of James' parents he has turned his life around. He now talks to teenagers about how to avoid the mistakes he made.
Joe Reaves 9 months ago
I think there's a difference between killing someone with one punch, where your intent is unlikely to be to do serious damage, and kicking someone in the head with a steel capped boot like in this story. Obviously, you shouldn't get into fights if you can avoid them because you can kill someone with one punch, but kicking someone in the head with steel capped boots is clearly intending to kill or seriously injure. That's someone who needs to be removed from society for a very long time for everyone else's sake.

Like any addiction, social media is safe in small doses. I've been on social media for about 20yrs, but I'm very particular. I joined Twitter back in 2006 when it launched, but now that it's X, I'm rarely on the site. Reddit is another site where you have to carefully choose subreddits to save your sanity. Then, of course, there's BP. It's not social media, it's obsessive behavior that's the problem, which is true with all addictions.

While the person behind the question was kind enough to reply to our request for an interview, they weren't too keen on saying a lot. And of course, we didn't want to push them or pry any further.
What we did manage to find out was that the person had decided to pose the question because they were curious to know whether anyone had "lost everything" due to gambling or using illegal substances. "Some of the answers aren't shocking," they said, citing the fact that illicit substances and gambling "ruin lives."
When we asked whether they were willing to answer any of the other questions we'd put forward, they replied, "Not really, unfortunately."

My husband was out one night with his work colleagues. They were at a bar, having fun and stayed out late. His boss used the valet to park his brand new really expensive BMW. For whatever reason or another, the valet and my husband‘s boss got into an altercation. My husband‘s boss is a 6’7 Kenyon who for a long period of his life was a professional rugby player for Kenya. The valet driver was maybe 5’5 and just an average person. My husband‘s boss told the valet driver to meet him outside so that they can finish their altercation in a street fight, he turned to walk towards the door of the restaurant, and the valet driver pulled brass knuckles out of his pocket and bashed his skull in. He was in a coma for months. He’s now paraplegic cannot speak. Cannot feed himself. And lives in an assisted living facility.
DaisyBee 9 months ago (edited)
While the boss did escalate the situation by threatening to fight the valet in the street, it’s still no excuse for the valet to bash someone’s f*****g head in. He should have called the authorities and reported the boss, not ruin two lives. Both were in the wrong, but one took his chance to do the right thing and made the worst decision instead
Cpt. Christan "Panda Bombero" 9 months ago
So the Boss knowingly tried to use his height, weight, and status as an intimidation factor. Basically verbally threatens and challenges someone with potential physical violence. Someone, who was most definitely way under his weight class. At which point, unfortunately for the Boss and his hubris, the rule of FAFO kicked in. 1. Never assume that you are the toughest in the room. 2. Never take your eyes away from/off of any potential opponents. 3. Never assume that the opponents are not willing to trade their life, for yours.

Well that didn't end up like I expected it to. Kind of sounds like the boss was a bully. You never know who you're messing with, the boss was over a foot taller than the valet. When my kids were in highschool I had them in Taekwondo. There was a petite girl that went to the same dojo as their instructor. The girl was a a lake with a friend and her family. Any went to the bathroom and a creep followed her, she screamed and people came running. Before anybody got there she had kicked his a*s and put him in the hospital with some broken bones. It turns out he was a convicted sex offender. After calling her parents she he called Mike the instructor bawling terrified that she was in trouble and was told no, you did what you were trained to do and defended yourself. I saw her a couple of weeks later and told her I was proud of her.

A distant relative was brilliant, but arrogant as all get out. Back then, schools were really strict about drügs, esp. the private Catholic school he was attending for pre-med. He got caught with cannabis, was expelled with an academic record that barred him from entering any pre-med/medical school. He became a small town cop and viciously went after anyone he suspected of having drügs, which were plentiful back in the 70's.

It wasn't Botox most likely but a facial filler. Botox paralyzes but wears off after a few months. Fillers can block arteries and make tissue go necrotic, or go blind. They can also cause lumps, infections and other nasty things

Reminds me of my grandma. She had a tumor near her ear and needed an MRI. Because of claustrophobia she was too scared to get one so they just went ahead and operated to remove the tumor. Ended up nicking a nerve causing the left side of her face to be paralyzed. Had she had the MRI they would have found the tumor was benign and not performed surgery.

My sister will text and drive. She will also talk (while holding the phone) and drive. She expects everyone else to do the same - as in, if I don't respond to her texts/don't take her calls when I'm driving, she gets infuriated and will start texting me "hello???" etc. I will not touch my phone while I'm driving. Honestly, even talking on a hands-free phonecall takes enough of your attention (IMO) that you are distracted from driving. My sister hasn't had anything bad happen yet, but I worry.

Please read through the whole thing before judging.
While I was recovering from a surgery, I stayed at a relative's house and a stray cat used to come there everyday. One day it stopped. I became mental and searched for it but could never find it.
So I adopted a kitten once I recovered and returned home.
I have a personality disorder and was raised with no communication with animals and have barely seen anyone having a pet. So after I adopted a kitten, I would beat myself up if I couldn't rescue any kittens I would see anywhere. So I started rescuing. I'm not equipped to do it. Instead of trying to manage stuff, I took loans to feed them.
The cats didn't even stay and despite my best attempts at keeping them indoors and spending money spaying and neutering them, a lot of them ran away. So I'm in deep debt and without a steady job. I made the mistake of relying on the loans.
Edit: I don't regret rescuing any of those kittens. I don't live in the kind of place where there are shelters and people are aware of species appropriate diet and stuff. So even the kind hearted people don't feed them properly or care that much. I only regret relying on the loans without caring about the long term issues it could cause.

You do cats no favors when you try to keep them without the financial means to really take care of them. Hoarding is also a problem that applies to such a situation when you keep getting more and more pets although you cannot take care of them. It is an addiction. Get some counseling care and when you can build a life that is not hanging on the financial edge all the time, adopt ONE animal to care for. Help find homes for other rescues. That is the best thing you can do for them.

A guy who was on the track to the perfect life. He was a prefect when I was in like 7th grade and we were on our annual music ensemble rehearsal getaway. The upper choir which he was part of had their own little house which had a glass ceiling.
On the third night my room in the main house was woken up because of the commotion going on outside. Abulances, teachers and other students all in PJs and confused.
Turns out the prefect got drunk with a few friends, then climbed onto the glass ceiling and crashed through it.
He had permanent nerve damage, got sued and had this dream job refused (working for the police).
So, don't drink and climb around on glass ceilings 🙃.

My cousin's first child was born with a severe form of Cystic Fibrosis. Found out he and his wife both carried a rare gene and that any other kids would have a 75% chance of also having it.

But WHY would you continue to have children who could be born with a fatal illness. I don't get it.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 9 months ago
I've sometimes watched documentaries on families/couples who have done the same thing - they have one child with a terrible birth defect/congenital issue that turns out to be genetic/hereditary. After the child is diagnosed and the parents KNOW it's genetic, they proceed to keep on having children, and sometimes all of them will have the same condition. I cannot fathom the selfishness of the parents. It's even WORSE when it's one of the really severe congenital/genetic diseases that mean the child will literally require 24/7 care for the rest of its life (things like severe microcephaly, epidermolysis bullosa, harlequin-type ichthyosis, etc.) CF is awful enough - I know people can live much longer lives with CF nowadays, but they require multiple DAILY treatments/medications/etc. and a bad cold/respiratory virus could still kill them easily. There's an excellent book by Jay Gironimi, who is ~40 and lives with CF. He describes how horrific it is for him to just live through each day.

LakotaWolf (she/her) 9 months ago
You are clearly a high-functioning autistic person (as am I) since you are able to communicate verbally. You may not realize this, but there are different and varying severity levels to autism. Those who are severely autistic (generally referred to as "level 3" in medical diagnosis/terminology) will require caregivers for their entire lives, as they cannot function in society normally nor take care of themselves to any degree. They generally have large developmental delays and some are unable to communicate verbally OR nonverbally. It's wonderful that you are an autistic person who is able to function in society to some degree. But perhaps you should try to understand that not all autistic people are as fortunate, and some will require lifetime care. It is not "ableist" or "classist" to say this, as it is actual, factual reality.

After a few months of dating they suddenly got married,I had a hunch she got pregnant but initially she denied it although later on she confessed. Their marriage wasn't great after the first child was born so I have no clue why they had another one. I think due to all the stress and anxiety he put her through,it messed up this pregnancy and she was told the child would have a lot of health issues . Decided to have the baby,husband left like 6 years ago and since then it's been a battle. Currently her child is in the hospital for the past month,had 3 surgeries and has COVID.

My youngest brother got clean from m*th after his girlfriend had their son. They got married. She, on the other hand, couldn't kick the habit and eventually pulled him back in. One night, apparently his m*th was laced with something and he went off about her second baby being a "demon baby". It got heated and he grabbed a decorative sword to shoo her away and it scratched her stomach (literally a scratch). Police arrived and arrested him. She did not want to press charges but the judge gave him 5 years in prison. He was given no leniency and did the full time. That second baby...

She pulled him back in? It was still his choice but you are really giving him the benefit of the doubt which he probably didn’t deserve. If he got himself clean he would’ve known to stop associating with people who still did it. Otherwise he might not have been as clean as you think. Also, does she have custody of these kids? Then her problem might not be as bad as your brother let on, especially considering the fact they weren’t taken at birth when their blood is usually tested for d***s.

It isn't always a big dramatic event. I've seen a lot of people have terrible lives because they are in denial, arrogant, or stubborn. Unwillingness to even think change is possible makes people not evolve and live gets more complex with time, usually, so they can't adapt and become more and more unhappy. And it can be a totally solvable problem! But if you refuse to engage with it or put full effort into fixing yourself? It will be a problem forever.

I suffer from it myself as well - no one in my family understands the "why": sometimes focusing on the pain is the only thing that shuts my brain up and stops the bad thoughts and feelings, if only for a bit. I do an unusual form for some reason - I rip at my toes until they're a bloody mess, and sometimes rip at my heels/soles of my feet until they're shredded and bleeding - and then it hurts to walk for days (good times.)

Driver died, passenger in the front seat had two broken legs and head trauma, backseat passengers walked away with minor injuries but they were trapped in the car with one dead friend and another screaming in agony from compound fractures until help arrived. The passenger in the front seat developed severe depression and survivor's guilt; he still lives with his parents 30+ years later because he can't handle a job. Kids in the backseat spent years in therapy and one was in and out of a psych ward until they hit their 30s. The guy who sprayed the driver with beer k*lled himself. All of these people were my friends and I think of them every day.

For a moment let's all be thankful that - so far - we didn't fell victim to the momentarily stupidity that just can happen (and it happened to us - we just were lucky enough to walk away unharmed and even without any 'accident;), to d***s, alcohol, gambling and all the small ways these tragedies can happen without anyone's real 'fault'.

so many of the people i used to hang with as a young adult are either ded (ha! censor that), strung out on druugs or doing time in pryson (is that a censorable word?). Some have been killled (beat to deth) or died because of their druug/alcohol addictions. Thankful that I made different/better choices, but mourn the loss of them all just the same

Three boys of about 13 years old climbed onto the railway wagons in my mother's village. Two were shocked by the 25kV line. One died, the other was paralysed and 85% of his body was burnt. The third fell off the wagon. He wasn't shocked but broke all his longer bones leaved him lightly disabled.

There are things in my life that I regret I did or didn't know, but some of them I would regret if I didn't or did do them. My great-uncles had a candy/stationary store in Westwood, NJ. It was opened by their parents, so they were second generation. I could have graduated high school, moved in with them, and taken over the store when they were ready to let me. I regret not doing that. But I know that if I did, I would have ended up regretting it. Getting up every day, going to the store and running it until closing time late into the night. Never having time off, or free time to do anything. I would have hated it. So I regret not doing it knowing full well that I would regret it if I had done it.

my cousin who was strugling with his sexuality (due to his traditional family) fell into deep depresion and "solved" it with food a*******n. Now he is morbidly overweight, almost 40, never had a relationship or dated anyone in his life and has to live with his parents who take care of him because of his weight. He is in therapy, so I really hope it helps him before it´s too late.

I'm surprised gambling isn't on the list. This is becoming a huge problem with the betting companies being able to advertise during all sorts of sports games. The target is always clearly young men.

I watch a couple “live tv” channels on Amazon prime, so I get commercials, and 9/10 of them are betting apps. It feels like those kind of games are everywhere all of a sudden.

I’m so surprised self harm isn’t here. I still suffer from it, and I try to get help, but some days, it doesn’t feel worth it. It’s easier to get help when you’ve just started than when you crave the burning feeling. In a way, I think it’s easier to get addicted to- it’s free, and it’s infinite. Don’t do it- no one desserves the pain I’ve put myself through. No matter what you think, you deserve to feel happy and comfortable in your skin. If you are suffering, tell someone. Anyone. Don’t bottle it up and let it consume you like I have. It’ll destroy you.

I think there probably were posts talking about self-harm on the original Reddit thread that BP skimmed these posts from, but the BP author(s) chose not to post any of them. I honestly don't understand sometimes how they choose which comments to add to their listicles. But - I completely agree with you about self-harm. I suffer from it myself as well - no one in my family understands the "why": sometimes focusing on the pain is the only thing that shuts my brain up and stops the bad thoughts and feelings, if only for a bit. I do an unusual form for some reason - I rip at my toes until they're a bloody mess, and sometimes rip at my heels/soles of my feet until they're shredded and bleeding - and then it hurts to walk for days (good times.) I do worry I'll get an infection in one of the open wounds at some point - but "knowing" the risks doesn't mean one can "just stop" self-harming. I hope you're doing as well as you can be, my friend. <3

A Venn diagram including d***s, alcohol, lack of good judgement, lack of self control - particularly related to anger and sex - and hubris could diagram every one of the situations on this list.
