Tried It Once, Never Again: 45 Things People Say They’ll Avoid Forever

I've told people for years that if you see me running, something is chasing me.

I herd you. Don't like cruises either

I was sent to Catholic Parochial elementary school as a kid. Even in fourth grade I figured none of the religious stuff made any logical sense. I do not mean to be insulting to believers, but one really has to lack critical and logical thinking ability to buy into that nonsense.

Same, my friend. Same

I would argue that someone who is anti-choice, anti-education, anti-LGBT, anti-DEI, anti-voting rights, anti-environment, anti-economy, etc. really does have something wrong with them.

I felt that way about fishing. A teenager with ADHD and I'm supposed to sit still for six hours and all I get is one daft minnow (it's a tiny fish)? Yeah, sorry, but fishing isn't for me.

I was taken to a club once (yeah, an introvert at a club, yet another person trying to be "helpful" and drag me out of my shell) and I bailed in under five minutes. The music was so loud I could literally (no, not figuratively, actually literally) feel shockwaves passing through my body. My stomach hit the big red awooga button and said "get the hell out or my contents are going to be an over the floor". I paid attention to the warning and scarpered. As a person who listens to symphonic metal I can understand one might want to crank it up, but when your primary music sensory organs are your intestines, maybe that's just not right?

I've always thought that dating apps are stupid and dangerous

Hotel - bedbugs, faulty heating, dirt under the mattress, uncomfortably hard bed and feeling sick afterwards... how about we just stay home? Home is good.

Knew as a teenager this wasn't for me. Never a regret.

I used to love skiing. The toes going numb? Not so much. I used to have to spend part of the day there in the first aid hut getting my feet defrosted, no matter how many socks I wore.

Maybe other people are able to do it, but I don’t think I could. Not judging, but it’s not for me.

So you have gone to a casino unwillingly since then?

Can't do audio books, I zone out when hearing someone drone on and on. Also it's too slow compared to reading it myself.

This is funny

I love a good outdoor hot tub in sub 0°C temperatures

I always feel sorry for telemarketers, but not sorry enough to stay on the phone.

NOPE. Not gonna jump out of a perfectly good plane

I gave it 3 days. My tailbone said, "never again!"

For those who enjoy cruises and Las Vegas, I wish you all the best fun and memories, but I would abhor every second.

I agree. Nope. Oh, and Ferris Wheels. I'm not good with heights.

No wayin hell I'm gonna trust rubber bands to keep me safe at heights. I'm not good with heights anyway so just NO!

I, on the other hand, find Bloody Marys quite refreshing. If made properly, they have a decent bite.

I cannot wrap my mind around this. I still remember my first drink decades ago. I knew I wanted that warm fuzzy feeling every second of every day forever. It didn't take long for me to spiral into alcoholism. But I've been sober for 12 years now and I wouldn't go back to it for anything, and my mind still can't comprehend why anyone would just want one or not want that feeling.

Yeah, I was curious, so my husband took me to one in New Orleans. No judgement, but I just felt ... sad for all involved.

I'm a straight woman, and I went once with a male friend and it was super cringe and embarrssing. The woman on stage played directly to me, and it felt fake, performative, and exhibitionistic, all things I'm utterly turned off by. I remember slouching further and further down in my seat and putting my head down. Then we left, with much relief. Never again, just sad for all involved, as Mel said.

I was in one once, it was the least s.exual place I've ever been.

Went with friends, 15 minutes later I was in the car asleep.

I was taken to one in Manila by a bunch of d**g reps (and yes, my wife was also with me at the club). I didn't know you could do that with ping pong balls. Memorable but I never want to repeat it.

It gets old.

the music was good. Pantera, "walk" in the 90s. Near Miami

You will never see me even doing it 1 time let alone another!

Thing is, animé covers a massive range of genres from fluffy pink whimsy for little girls to straight up horror, and there are many art styles from the trippy stuff that turned up in Madoka to the utter scenery pørn of anything by Makoto Shinkai.

Exercise should be done at your own speed. You don't need some punk in leotards telling me when to accelerate or slow down

OMG I love a good band aid tasting Scotch!!!!! That's my special occasion treat. Laphroaig is AMAZING 🤩

That must have been awful. Xanax has been a lifesaver for me at times, and I've thankfully never felt like this

Talking to people and having a drink is boring to you? Well. I mean, ok.

I took a scuba diving class in college. I aced the course but ended up not being able to do the final dive which was supposed take place in Hood Canal (WA state- a natural fjord-like body of water). I'd dropped a metal rimmed garbage can on my toes when cleaning out my dorm room and my toes were still too damaged to allow me to use the flippers for the final dive. The instructer just dropped my grade to a B from an A but I did wonder what it would have been like.

Those are still around?

Cooked squid is no better. TBF I've never tried it raw, I think I would struggle to get it past my lips.

It's genetic if you like it or not. Does it taste like soap to you?

10 years ago we were eating out and my husband wanted to try and IPA on the menu, no price that we noticed. He could only get through about 1/3rd because it was too hoppy; then I got the bill, $12 for a 12 oz bottle; I proceeded to give him a hard time about leaving $9 of beer

I was given a gift card for one of these for Christmas. Didn’t use it. Then the same people gave me the same thing the next Christmas without even asking if I had used or enjoyed the first one!

The sushi at our grocery store is made fresh on site

Yep I get motion sickness from them too

What is puppy yoga?

OMG I laughed too hard... I've add ADHD on top of anxiety disorder so the caffeine helps but I can totes imagine

Durian anything

You basically just put it in a pile... And then turn the pile every so often???

You are objectively wrong.
