Get in loser, we're going to make an Anti Bucket List! Everyone already knows what a regular bucket list is — a long and wishful list of hopes and dreams for the future. Usually people will include their dream vacation spots, or some fun activities like mountain climbing or jumping out of an airplane.  

But today, some folks felt like compiling an Anti Bucket List. It started with the simple question of naming the myriad 'Things [yo]u never wanna do?' There's a surprising amount of overlap between people's ordinary bucket list things and the anti. For example, some of the respondents actually don't want to go skydiving or have kids.

But then there are also plenty of great answers about the more miserable parts of life, like sickness or cheating on a partner, that definitely belong on this list. There was a ton of variety in the responses — you're sure to have an "I'm never doing that" moment as you read through. 

Then, cleanse the thoughts of spiders from your mind with this collection of crafty individuals who tried and failed at making artwork, and instead made us laugh.

    Some people have relatively normal things on their anti bucket list.

    Font - One-Concentrate-179 22 hr. ago Take a cruise. It's just a jacuzzi of viruses on the sea. 46 Reply Share GreyGhost878 - 21 hr. ago And if you get lucky enough to have bad weather... I picked up a tour group once at a port to drive them home after a cruise and it had been a miserable experience. So many things can go wrong. I'll stay on solid ground, thanks.

    Cruising is not for the germaphobic or faint of heart.
