There are a few reasons to do something once. Maybe it was an amazing experience. Maybe it was hard, or painful, or there was only one opportunity for you to do that thing. Or maybe it was so stupid that the consequences of your actions were just too much to bare. Life is full of opportunities, and some of those opportunities, like hiking in the jungle or frying bacon naked are things that are best only indulged in once, or not at all.

    Font - dubbznyc - 4d - edited 3d 2 3 24 Went to Times Square for New Years Eve in New York City. I live in NYC and I figured it was the kinda thing I wanted to see but didn't need to see again. Went in 2000 when I was 18. Got there 11am and stayed for 13 hours in the freezing cold but with close spots to the ball drop and screen. I'm glad I did it. I'm also glad I've never done it again.

    Font - Te-hole - 4d I stole a tester eyeliner from the makeup section at a store when I was 17. The security guy took me aside in a small room and "questioned" me, asked for my information, and to scare me, he said this would always be in my record and companies won't want to hire me anymore and I burst into tears and had a panic attack. He said he'll let me off if I pay double the price of the eyeliner, so I did and he let me go. Now, I don't know how much of what he told me was real and if the

    Mammal - Scrappy_Larue- 4d Spelunking / cave exploring. For starters, it begins and ends with going through a million bats. And the journey in between is just too dangerous, in the last place in the world you'd want to get hurt. And super tight squeezes are freaky.

    Font - DonMendelo · 4d 2 Not paying attention to currents when swimming in the sea (and going anyway when there's a red flag and no guard). Dumbest shit ever. I was with my two brothers and my father, happily splashing around. Suddenly we turn around and the shore just got very far away. So we start swimming back but the sea is stronger than you. If you stop 5 seconds to catch your breath you lose the progress you did during the last minute, and that's precious. I was young so I don't remember i

    Rectangle - Beholding69 · 4d I remember, in elementary when I was like 11, I kicked a football wrong during gym class and it bounced off the roof and into a basketball hoop. I remember it clear as day, and I know for a fact no one will ever believe me if I tell them.

    Font - Ghost-Writer - 4d O 3 4 Hiking through jungles. They look so beautiful in movies. In reality they are some of the most brutal hikes I've been on. Let's start with the humidity. It's so bad it drenches you to the bone, and there's no escaping it. Being under a jungle canopy is like being in a pressure cooker. The heat and humidity beats you down harder than any environment I've been in. Then there's the swarms of biting bugs. From never- ending mosquitoes, giant spiders on everything, tick

    Font - Samm092 - 4d I jumped off a roof barefoot when I was a kid, I'll never do that again. It was an older house and the roof was low to the ground, so it seemed okay, but my judgement led me astray. I landed on a stone entryway and immediately collapsed to the ground. I had to crawl my way back inside and it was extremely painful. The reason I did this is because the bathroom door jammed shut and I had no way out(old house). Didn't break anything but my feet were bruised, I'm surprised I didn

    Font - dopeydazza - 4d I stayed at my Sisters place one night and we for the life of us couldn't find the vacuum cleaner to blow up the spare mattress. So I hit on the bright idea of using the car exhaust to blow up the mattress. Back then the car used leaded petrol. As a rule, I sleep with the windows and door closed so I am damn lucky. Woke up next morning (in hindsight luckily) with the mattress 1/2 flat and the room smoggy. But being low to ground near door, the draft under it keep me alive

    Font - InvalidUserNemo · 4d I rode a bull. First hop of the bulls front legs out the chute and I was off...flipping and seeing sky/dirt/sky/dirt and then belly flopped. That hop felt like a train wreck. Bull riders are insane.
