Top 20 regrettable activities people will never do again: 'New Years Eve in Times Square'

Life is about trying things, but it's also about knowing your limits. 

In theory, you want to be able to find a good balance between the adventurous part of yourself and your rational side. If you lean too far into your impulses to explore, you could end up driving in the dark on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere with absolutely no cell service (this happened to a fairly impulsive friend of mine). On the other end of the spectrum, though, you don't want to be so stuck in your routine that you end up saying no to literally everything. People like this tend to make going out for a walk feel like a gargantuan ordeal.

These folks fall somewhere in between both of these extremes. They had a few wild life experiences and have learned when it's not worth it to try something again. While some of these decisions were more unfortunate than others, most of the people who shared their stories were not consumed with regret. Keep scrolling below for the full list.
