Some folks live by the philosophy, "I'll try anything once." And I think this is generally a pretty good attitude to have. It's good to be open to things, even things you weren't sure if you liked. There's only one way to find out. You may stumble onto something you enjoy, or even have a knack for. I always thought I'd be a person who didn't enjoy an escape room. I thought they weren't for me, and I'd be a buzzkill if I ever tried to do one with my friends. Lo and behold, I tried one once and I had the best time. I snapped into action and was actually pretty good at solving puzzles. I would have never learned that if I never tried. 

But sometimes you just know that something isn't for you. That's what this list is for: the things that we did once and swore never to do again.

    • id_death 15 hr. ago I live in LA so I have routine access to Universal, Disney, Six Flags, Knotts, etc. I will never go to a park in the summer. It's 100F. Kids aren't in school so it's packed. You stand in the sun for hours for a 30 second ride.

    MaybeMax356 · 14 hr. ago Intentionally acting stupid and immature. It was a habit rooted in deep insecurities (still have them), but now I am trying to actually act my age and finding true friends. For the first time in years I have an actual friend group and it feels great.

    EyePoor 17 hr. ago 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.

    Frozefoots 15 hr. ago • Giant swing. One I went on was 200+ft high when we pulled the quick release to drop. Thought since I love rollercoasters and thrill rides I'd enjoy it. I did not like freefalling while parallel to the ground. At all. Only time I've let out a blood curdling scream of pure terror.

Extra privacy, extra cleanliness, and extra comfort are vastly more worth it to me now and fortunately I can afford that!
