Thanks , but no thanks .
We all have a list of things we want to do before we die, but what about all the other things we’d rather never do over?
Reddit userTheDeadYetirecently asked, “What is on your anti-bucket list that you’ll never do again?” Here are all the things people would 100% pass on if they had the chance again:
1.“I once tried to impress a date by ordering the spiciest dish on the menu. I’ll never again pretend my taste buds can handle what they clearly can’t. Lesson learned: ghost peppers aren’t a substitute for personality!”
2.“Spending time trying to get people to see why I’m worthwhile to be friends with.”

3.“Assume that every coworker is a friend.”
4.“Hopefully chemotherapy.”
— u / HarrySatchel
5.“Be a bridesmaid. It was nice for the experience but I had known the woman for less than a year. Way too much drama for my liking. Never again.”
6.“Never again will I attempt to cook a gourmet meal while simultaneously trying to entertain guests and keep my cat from jumping on the kitchen counter. It was a chaotic disaster that ended with burnt food, a stressed-out chef (me), and one very mischievous cat who got a taste of marinara sauce and decided to redecorate the living room.”

7.“Not taking care of my teeth. Seriously guys, brush your teeth.”
8.“I’m open to marriage again but I’ll never do another actual wedding. Too much unnecessary stress and drama. Why do I care if my cousin I haven’t seen in 20 years is invited? I don’t but apparently, it is rude if you don’t invite every family member in your family tree to your wedding.”

9.“New YorkCity on New Year’s Eve.”
10.“Hostels! I’m very glad they exist as cheap options for young people, exactly how I experienced them, but I’m now happy to close that chapter of my life. Extra privacy, extra cleanliness, and extra comfort are vastly more worth it to me now and fortunately, I can afford that!”

11.“Getting wasted before a flight.”
12.“Doing anything before stretching. I’m 33.”
— u / impishboof
13.“Intentionally acting stupid and immature. It was a habit rooted in deep insecurities I still have, but now I am trying to act my age and find true friends. For the first time in years, I have an actual friend group and it feels great.”
14.“Do a PhD….f–king hell!”
— u / semifunctionalme
15.“Bungee jumping was on my bucket list so I did it and hated every second of it. Skydiving was fun and oddly not the least bit scary for me, yet bungee jumping absolutely terrified me when I got there to do it.”
16.“Dating a woman who says she loves you four days into the relationship. To any guy or girl reading this, please use it as a warning. The only thing that’ll come out of a relationship like that is trouble.”
— uranium / Jackhammer008
17.“Snorkeling. That actually sucked. Turns out I prefer to breathe with my head above water.”
18.“Get married. The third time won’t be the charm.”

19.And finally, “Drinking. Honestly, life is more fun without the alcohol involved, and it’s not fun as you get older.”
