26 People Share Mistakes They Made Once and Never Again

Mistakes are the way we learn and get better at things. At least that's what we tell ourselves every time we majorly screw up. That way it feels like our enormously stupid errors seem like they have at least some value. There are some mistakes that people make again and again, like texting an ex or going to Arby's. But sometimes a mistake can be so stupid and painful that we are able to definitively say "I am never going to do that ever again." And for those of us paying attention, it's a good idea to also not do that too.

It feels like some of these should be no-brainers, but it's also important to recognize that you could easily be put in one of these situations, and based on a series of external factors, make the same wrong choice. So think of this as extra encouragement to not be dumb.

For more tales of bad situations people had the forethought to exit, here are times people said "screw this, I'm out."
