Regrets, I've had a few...

[KamaItachi]

Most recently, introducing a guy at work to Texts from Last Night (I'm not linking to it).

I can only put up with tales of implausibly drunk guys and slutty woman for 20 minutes or so at a time... I've had to put up with him messaging me 'highlights' for the past 3 hours.

Aside from that I have no other regrets, actually...

[Hawkzombie]

Not taking my ex gf back 7 years ago and throwing away what we had.

[boratika]

Almost anything thing I've ever said out loud that I found funny. I just have a very inappropriate sense of humour.

[KamaItachi]

[Xerxes]

I'll fuckaversary you

Let me translate that for you.... (http://translationparty.com/#7889792):D

[Squidbot]

Meh. There was that one crazy girl I could have got with, but never did, but other than that no regrets.

[Narradisall]

I don't have any regrets.

As long as you learn the lesson from what happened and don't repeat the same decision, it's a worthwild experience.

This is the only thing I could come up with as well. Next time man, next time...

[Handmade.Mercury]

For the first 3 or so posts of this thread, I thought everyone was copying Texts From Last Night posts just to spite the OP. Then I realized that they were real situations that you guys regret. Oops.

[Purple Santa]

I don't have any regrets.

I'm in agreement with this. We have enough thoughts that keep us from achieving what we want. Reflection on past decisions could be easily seen as "positive" instead of something negative (regret).

[Thanasimos]

My list is of regrets is very, very long. I have a nifty little catalog in my head of bad decisions I've made -- it's designed to stop me making new bad ones. And I mean a very long list. There are a lot of situations I've handled poorly and people I've hurt.

But my list of regrets is also very, very short, because when you get right down to it I love where I am right now and I love what I'm doing. Apparently the bad decisions didn't hurt me too much. Although they did delay development of social skills to my sophomore year of college. :D

I guess I'll go with no regrets for now.

[Serapth]

Smoking is probably my biggest regret. 16 years and probably 50 grand down the toilet to say nothing of the hell of quitting and the 20lbs I gained and almost 3 years later, haven't lost.


Oh and I regret breaking my nose as a kid as I still don't breathe right, which sucks.

[AntonThaGreat]

Regrets are very heavy to live with, I don't regret anything I've done--and I've had my fair share of massive fuck-ups. I just wouldn't be the person I am now, without those fuck-ups.

Yeah, but if you could go back in time, wouldn't you get rid of the herpes?

I regret not putting more effort into school. All my report cards looked like this. "VERY smart, does not try hard enough." Damn me and my lazy nature.

I have a sneaky-suspection that there's probably more than a few folks around here who got reports like that.


(Yes, I'm one.)

[Karak]

2 things.

Lying to my grandparents right before their death. Resulting in me not being with them when they passed. This basically set my rule of never ever lying. You never know how that will burn you and I would rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

A fight I had while younger when I had NO impulse control on how far I should take it. Thousands and thousands of dollars later and I can say being sued is possibly the most horrible, stressful, jarring thing to happen. It gives me a sick stomach thinking about it

Yeah, it's something I'm still working on to this day. The rational part of my mind says, "Get off your ass and do something constructive." The rest of my brain says, "Sit here, it's very comfortable and this is fun and interesting." Sadly, the latter is VERY persuasive.

The rational part of my mind says, "Your maths book is sitting right in front of you. Open it." The rest of my brain says, "You should make a comic about Karak."

Well yeah but even the most resolute of us couldn't resist that. You'd have to have an iron soul or just no soul at all to not make a funny comic!

[SilentScreams]

Oh well, at least it's not in a thread where it would have made me lose...again. :D

Thanks for the new desktop background. My boss will sadly INSTANTLY know what caused this to be made. But thats my lot in life.
And her butt is awesome hahahaha

Yesterday our group meeting ended with me telling a coworker who was dropping bombs on everyone to shut the fuck up for a minute so we can all realize how much of an ass he was being.

In my inbox this morning was second notice of unacceptable behavior in 2 weeks...sigh.

[AntonThaGreat]

Yeah, but if you could go back in time, wouldn't you get rid of the herpes?

Herpes Encephalitis has changed my life; it gave me a new outlook on everything. I couldn't possibly live without the hallucinations, convulsions and acute amnesia.

[Vandabo]

I really screwed up my schooling from about junior year of high school forward, including wasting a ton of time and money in college getting a degree that I'll never use. However, it was when I hit rock bottom in school that I started working part time at the company that I'm currently working for full time in a much higher position than I could have gotten normally.

[Savok]

My entire god damn life.

[Krispy]

I regret everything about my first relationship. How I got into it, what I did while in it, and how I got out of it. It was a crash course learning experience but I would have rather forgone the trauma and learned this all over a couple of years...

[Krispy]

My entire god damn life.

I so called this. I even wrote it on a sticky note, "Savok is going to regret his miserable life."

[Savok]

If anything I'm predictable.

[Kielaran]

Add me to the list of lazy scholars. On the up side, I did enough to graduate and I am much more driven in the workplace, so no harm, no foul

[Savok]

The common laziness in education, I blame the system's need to drain all interest and joy out of everything so you're a good little slave who can't think for themselves. It wasn't until I dropped out of school did I actually begin to enjoy reading and learning about shit.

It's an amazing world out there, but you wouldn't know it from formal education.

[Jackel]

Only thing I regret is not being more focused / spending less time at the bar during my university years.

I'm sure that's part of the problem. I'm just really lazy in all honesty.

Voodoo wins the thread.

I regret reading this thread.

Fake.

No hat.

[Siraris]

I regret a few things that I did not do (not traveling internationally more, and giving up on school in High School and not working harder), which is totally human. Anyone who says they regret nothing about their life so far is lying to themselves, or an infant.

Really, can't it just be that they're happy with the way their life has turned out? Every experience in mine - good and bad - has had some indelible impact on my development... change one thing, and I could change everything.

[Siraris]

You're suggesting that having regrets means you are unhappy. I'm quite happy right now, yet I still have regrets. I'm not going to look back and say "That trip I could have taken to Spain, where all my friends had a great time and formed really close relationships that lasted for years. Man, I'm totally happy that I wasn't there with them!". That's ridiculous. A part of you is going to regret that you never went, even if you have a big group of close friends now.

[Generation ABXY]

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one, Siraris.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch Mr. Destiny... and possibly Sliders.

[Backseat Killer]

I have a few regrets but none of it was so bad - all have gotten me to where I am in life. And life is good!

I have 2 real regrets: 1) anything I have done that has hurt anyone else (that didn't deserve it) and 2) smoking. God, I hated smoking as much as I loved it. So much wasted money and health.

[Xerxes]

I think my biggest regret is falling behind. I keep getting side track with just bumming around. I mean I have a great origin story for why it happens, but that's besides the point. Catching up is hard but the more I look at it the more I'm convinced I can still get ahead of myself.

I think I owe the world an apology for slacking and I hope I can make it up to you all. :)

[Karak]

You are. I predicted you saying you were predictable.

I regret not watching enough of Sliders.

[Serapth]

That we have made it 46 posts in without a response:

Too few to mention


Kinda makes me sad. That should have been post 2, at most 4.

Mind you, when I first saw the title, I thought it was from a Queen song (but that's "bad mistakes"). :o

Same here. Loved that show.

[pronounconnoun]

I regret not watching enough of Sliders.

The first few seasons were awesome until they replaced Quin with his less talented Amish brother. Downhill from there.

[Xerxes]

I'm sitting next to a big regret right now. I really need to get some of those people skills. :(

[Vandabo]

I regret turning on my dishwasher earlier tonight, as it has now partially flooded my kitchen. Good times.

Unless your (now perforated) ass has been in prison...you ain't got shit to seriously regret.
