Regrets

[funKYcat75]

Assuming it wouldn't affect who you are and what you have today, what do you regret doing or not doing in the past?

1. Wouldn't have gotten the free t-shirt credit cards on UK's campus.
2. No student loans. That was dumb, considering the cost of tuition at the time.
3. I would have auditioned for more singing things.
4. Would have skipped the Jacuzzi tub and gotten some other house upgrades instead.
5. Probably would have waited 2 more years to get married to become more stable.

I’ve had a few...

 

[Pickle_Rick]

I tegret i rever learnt 2 spel.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Wish I had waited to go to college instead of going straight out of high school. I might have actually graduated

 

[warrior-cat]

None...well, there was this Argentinian woman I dated for about a year and a half. Wound up being a psycho. Spoke no English, just Spanish, Italian, and German. Threatened to cut my stuff off one night. That ended that.

 

[Kybluedude]

Not to listen to my advisor UK freshman year early 70s whose advice was not to get into computer science!

 

[The Punk Returns]

I regret I said that.... why so serious?

 

[Mojocat_rivals48469]

I’ve had a few...

probably not worth mentioning, really.

 

[Glenn's Take]

Getting married. Won't do that again.

 

[Ron Mehico]

I’d probably sleep with a lot more people.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

I regret abandoning my aspirations of becoming a Chemical Engineer in HS to instead become a lawyer.

 

[Tskware]

I’d probably sleep with a lot more people.

Should have treated some women better in my younger days, which likely would have accomplished the above.

More seriously, I wish we had a third child, my biggest regret, tbh (that being said, the two I have are wonderful, healthy, living happy adult lives, so it isn't THAT big of a regret, maybe God knew what he was doing)

 

[warrior-cat]

I’d probably sleep with a lot more people.

Hmmmm...People=Generic=anyone/thing?

 

[Ron Mehico]

Hmmmm...People=Generic=anyone/thing?

No

 

[Elbridge]

Not serving in the military.

 

[JumperJack]

Not traveling Europe before I had anything to keep me from it.

 

[warrior-cat]

No

[banana]Yeah, I figured, I was just being funny.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Not digging into a deeply needed conversation with my dad before he died.

... and Not going to Venice, Italy for a semester abroad .

 

[UpstateNYCat]

Finished Kindergarten
Penis Reduction
Shoot a man in Reno
Married my Cousin

 

[Tannerdad]

Went into the Navy. Signed up for it back then and was a dumbass for letting my employer talk me out of it for a little $.

 

[starchief]

With what one knows NOW, it is easy to have regrets. But without our present knowledge, we would probably make the same or similar mistakes again. That's why it is so frustrating trying to give guidance to our kids and watching them often ignore our advice. This is life.

 

[Dig Dirkler]

 

[UKGrad93]

I regret not having more time with my daughter.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

I regret not contributing to a 401k in my 20s.

 

[Catman100]

Not doing at least 20 years in the Navy. Getting a college degree in my 40's. Wasting time with some worthless women.

 

[TurnipDaBeet]

1/2 the women ive slept with

 

[RacerX.ksr]

I regret that someone has posted just before me and I can't see what he said because I Ekilled him. Ha, not really. I have no regrets and neither does anyone else. **** all you all! Tell the truth.

I love seeing "show ignored content" and knowing I have the resolve to not look.

Good way to live. Don't look back.

 

[blubo]

Being old and dumb. young and dumb was a f’n blast. never dreamed it would lead to this. .

 

[Crushgroove]

More seriously, I wish we had a third child, my biggest regret, tbh

I regret not having them sooner and not having more of them before it was too late.

I regret waiting for my wife to finish school before getting married.

I'm regretting the onions&peppers from my omelette this morning.

 

[vhcat70]

I regret abandoning my aspirations of becoming a Chemical Engineer in HS to instead become a lawyer.

Now there's a regret I haven't had.

 

[CastleRubric]

I have some ....

I honestly regret throwing that toilet off the hotel roof in songtan city South Korea with billy hirschfield ...it was BALLS OUT funny for like 15 years ...but not anymore


There’s more so we’ll do this installments

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

All the fat girls I passed on.

 

[80 Proof]

I’d probably sleep with a lot more people.

I doubt it.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

I regret not having them sooner and not having more of them before it was too late.

I tell all my younger buddies who have been living with their girlfriends for several years to lock that up and start having kids as it’s 100x better than what they’re doing now. I don’t miss the days I was with my wife before we were married, even though they were great. It’s nothing like having kids.

 

[dgtatu01]

So glad my wife and I had children immediately after getting married and that we got married at 23 and 24. I am damn near 40 and have friends having their first kids. They are stupid.

I don't have many regrets. Quit drinking in May after finding out a friend was struggling with alcoholism. I drank more than I should, but didn't have a problem. After almost 8 months dry, I wish I had quit a long time ago. It was fun when I was in my 20's but seeing life at 40 without it is eye opening.

 

[KyCatFan_rivals45723]

Regret not staying in the Air Force and retiring. Could have gotten my 20 years in back in 2011 and would be receiving free money for the rest of my life. Would have likely gotten a college degree during that time. Also wish I would have tried harder to travel more while I was in. Would have been nice to travel overseas when I could have. I haven't left the country in my life and don't know if or when I ever will.

 

[CastleRubric]

I regret thinking that EVERYTHING I like or love should be shared with my children at an early age ...my first born was about three or four when I had her watch The Shining and Texas Chainsaw Massacre...

I really didn’t see her reaction coming whatsoever ...admittedly it was fascinating to see that she used “cupped hands over her ears” and a “rigid transfixed posture” to communicate her horror to me...


She’s 17 and still doesn’t see the Satire in “chainsaw “....

I kinda regret rolling that little gift out as early as I did I guess

 

[CastleRubric]

I regret taking LSD in a church service once when I was responsible for the PA ...only happened ONCE mind you


Still...disrespectful

and my mix was total ****
(Not to mention that I panicked and fled in an old pickup truck after thirty min)

 

[CastleRubric]

I regret standing outside the Iranian embassy in Paris when I was stationed in Germany ..getting my dumb (but likable) *** all worked up and yelling constantly at the personnel about “the shah”...in my mind it was a one man protest....

In reality it was about ten minutes and one more “are you Arab or are you Persian “ comment away from a minor international incident and ANOTHER trip to “foreign jail”

(which DOESNT FKING COUNT ANYWAY)

 

[CastleRubric]

i Got more but some are truly best left to ferment like an aged batch of sojhu
