Biggest Regrets

Yaya · Post by **Yaya** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:50 pm

Inspired by the "things you will never get to do" thread, what are your biggest regrets (that you are willing to share)?

Let's see.

-I remember this kid used to get beat up on by a bunch of thugs in first grade. I remember just standing there every lunch period watching the poor tormented kid. Now, 28 some years later, I still remember it, and really, can't stand myself for not doing something to help that guy out. Fight back, tell the teacher, anything. If I ever meet him, I want to apologize for being a stationary ass.

-I shot a bird once for no reason at all with my new BB gun early in my teens. Watched it die. If it were possible, I would bring that bird back and have him shoot my ass once or twice with that same gun.

-Used to make fun of some nerdy kids in high school. Now I realize. Nerds are some of the better kids around, worthy of much more respect and praise then I gave them. I would never have made fun of those people and would have valued their keeping to themselves and not bothering others

-I would have respected my older brother and parents much more than I have. Even then, I could not repay them for what they have done for me.

Those are just a few. Life is a beautiful thing and its lessons are sometimes learned the hard way.

I can honestly say that there are very few things that I've done in my life that I have regretted. Of those very few, I learned from them all. So, if I had to do it over again, I don't think I'd have changed a thing.

If I had a chance to let you live your life again, it would be on the proviso that you get a haircut, Mullet Man.

I've had a few.

Then again, too few to mention.

I smeared poo all over my floor.
I don't know if I regret it or not.
It's a great story to tell - but at the same time I had poo all over my floor.

I really don't regret it. It was awesome.

I was walking home from a new years eve party (04/05), and it had been raining, so it was really muddy.
When I came home and got my shoes of, I saw a piece of mud on the floor.
In my drunken state I thought it would be a good idea to pull of my sock and use it to wipe the mud of the floor.
So I get down on all four and start wiping the mud with my sock... then the smell hits me "Oh my god. It's poo". Like a punch in the face.
I threw my shoes and my socks in my bath tub and went to bed.

It was horrible to wake up the next day.

I have a similar story...while extremely drunk I got up in the night, got extremely disorientated (I doubt I was actually conscious at this point), missed the door to the bathroom and found the one to my then gf's living room. I proceeded to empty a couple of pints of very dilute urine all over her computer (which was plugged in and switched on at the time, I'm lucky I'm still alive). I woke the next morning next to it and had to try and clean everything up before she woke up and wondered where the hell I'd got to.

In my defence it was a Mac, so it's a fairly easy mistake to make.

I can't really regret that though, as I have no recollection of actually doing it in the first place, and besides, it's not like she dumped me or anything.

"Gerald! Can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"You know the thing, uh, the thing that cleans these things, the thing-cleaner! Why is that in your bathroom? I'm not Coco Chanel or anything but I think that's a bit weird."
"Uhm... Bernard why don't I uhm... call you a cab?"
"I don't want a cab! It's only half-one. Anyway, listen, listen, why do you have a toaster in your bathroom?"
"We haven't got a toaster in our bathroom."
"Well you should put a lock on the door anyway because I was in there, I was on the toilet and everything, and little Jimmy comes in, he's drinking milk from the fridge and that's all wrong... it's unhygienic. And what were you thinking, what was going through your brain when you thought "Oh yeah, I'll buy a wicker toilet"?"

A few things not said, a few people I didn't introduce to other people before they died.

Nothing too major.

In recent times, not trying my luck with someone I was working with last summer.

Ok, yeah, that year I spent with the mullet was pretty bad. Though it's a fun story.

Don't say this inspired that; this is potentially depressing. That was based on a want to join the ******* circus!

I've got a few. None I really want to share. But for the most part they're behind me, there to try and learn from and all but given that the habit of looking back to beat myself over the head with past stuff is one of the mentioned mistakes, I try to keep from thinking on them too much.

Ob: That... is a brilliant story.

Emvee: Also brilliant, but it doesn't involve fecal matter mistaken for something else, therefore Ob wins the thread.

Um.. the time I kicked 3 hot strippers who were from out of town out of my apartment because I was wasted on 151 and Jack.

Went down something like this

"Youre kinda cute.. like a big ol teddy bear"

"Teddy bear? TEDDY BEAR? HOW ABOUT YOU KISS MY FUZZY TEDDY BEAR ASS BITCH! GET THE [composite word including 'f*ck'] OUT OF MY APARTMENT!"

I got my ass kicked by my roomates for that one. To be fair though, I brought them home from the bar. WOOT

Dude, what the hell.

"It was muddy outside", "I saw some mud on the floor and started to wipe it with my sock", "oh my god, there's poo all over the place!"

The mud was in fact poo.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 8:28 am

Oh I understand that it was muddy outside. Are you saying that all the mud outside was poo? Im trying to figure out how the poo got on your floor.

No, dude! It was really muddy outside (real mud). But on my way home I alos stepped in dog poo.
When I came home, a piece of the poo fell on my floor.
But since it was muddy outside, I thought it was mud.
But it was poo.
Thus I wiped poo all over my floor.

Dude, I totally did the same thing!

Although, to be completely accurate, you'd need to replace 'wiped' with 'murdered'.

And 'poo all over my floor' with '17 prostitutes'.

Actually, I do have a new regret concerning events that happened this weekend. May have turned out quite nice [dude actually realized I was a person. Most men I meet are, sadly, slobbering drunken idiots that are good for a dance or so but then become all hands. Or show no interest in anything about you that isn't physical. It's tiring.] but it may also have turned out quite hellacious considering the factor [factor= his ex, who followed us around all night] involved.

But I still wish I had gone with, dammit dammit dammit!

Unfortunately, my friend saw fit to "rescue" me. Ohhh but I didn't need rescuing... dammit.

As she explained it later, she thought he was alright, cute [f**king snowboarder, skiier, and he played the guitar, goddammit! You bet your ass he was cute, on top of actually interested in me as a person and not just as a piece of ass] but she didn't know him from Jack and wasn't about to let me go anywhere with him.

Good friends suck! [Minds out of the gutter.]
