Post your small regrets - General

I'll start. A long time ago back when I was still in high school my parents would make forays into the big city every Sunday to shop at the asian markets there, seeing as how we lived in a small town that had none and usually they would drag me along. At the time they had just found out about Goodwill the place where people donate their old stuff for other people to buy at marked down prices and they loved browsing for odd items there. Me on the other hand was bored to tears by that place, it was filled with nothing but used clothes and furniture, Bob Ross-esqe paintings and old cheap china, and etc. They had a used book section but the books either held no interest for me or I've read them before, then there was the old vinyl shelf, but that was usually filled with christmas carols, orchestra recordings or obscure folk bands from the 70's. One day my best friend comes over to hang out, it being Sunday I had to go with my parents but they decided to let him tag along anyway. After we did our rounds in the asian marketplaces and I weirded my friend out with all the strange food found in them, my parents made the inevitable last stop at Goodwill to which I argued against in futility. My friend being a big music buff checks out the vinyl shelf and the fucking day he's there he finds both Black Sabbath's Paranoid and Kansas's Leftoverture. We both thought that those were really neat finds but it would be kind of pointless owning them if we can't listen to them so we left them. Literally the next fucking day my parents pulled out our old record player that I thought they got rid of ages ago. Ever since then I never argued about going to Goodwill and whenever we went I would pitifully almost desperately comb through the vinyl shelf even though I knew both albums were long gone.

i remember once i found a 10 dollar bill (technically 10.000 CLP, but you get the idea) and for whatever reason, i never picked it up

I should have called her once before she died

Not caring enough about high school. Though that's likely the high school's fault. Didn't have the best teachers for the subjects I didn't enjoy (English, Physical Education) which caused my confidence to really plummet and have this "Why bother" attitude. It's a small regret because I needed to pay for a university course that taught english much much better than high school english.

i once found a $20 bill in the lunch cafeteria at school and i picked it up so i gave it to the teacher because i knew it was lost. i regret not picking it up.

I shouldn't have annoyed her so much.

Failing freshman year due to lack of caring.

I should not have gone to see Batman v Superman... I'll regret that decision for the rest of my life.

I once played a super good game of smash bros with a great player and forgot to take a replay of it.

Ended my Composition 2 class with a fucking 79.94. Had I done 0.01% better I would've finished the year with a B but nah now I've got a C and I look like significantly more of a dumbass because of it. I also missed my college orientation because I forgot it was a thing I had to do, it was on the 8th.

Can't stop taking cat naps during the week.

I regret not paying more attention in math class during grade school. Now I'm terrible at even basic math.

i traded a winning bingo card with a kid across from me in elementary school and ended up not getting a sick bionicle set which was one of the prizes these are the things that keep me awake at night

At an elementary school carnival I won a pair of those big foam green hulk hands that made noise when you smashed them together. They were the hot item at the time. The kid who got the grand prize in the raffle (a brand new bike) came up to me and offered to trade me straight up for those hulk hands... The item in question: [IMG]http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/gallery/page__module__images__section__img_ctrl__img__65621__file__med[/IMG] I chose to keep the goddamn hulk hands. :suicide:

I should've started listening to Vaporwave earlier.

I went too fast

Shouldn't had gone sniping mode and went first and straight to the butthole of tears.

i shouldve tried to overcome my social anxiety

[IMG]http://puu.sh/pEeOq/26aa89e83f.png[/IMG] In all honesty, everything from before my high school graduation, and how I let my sleep schedule drastically slip over the last few months.

I shouldn't have just told that person to "piss off and never show their face to me". I did not expect that to depress the hell out of them.

i regret going to that shitty asian restaurant and getting the shits for the next 2 days

[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;50571855]I once opened a csgo case and got a gun worth 50/60 bucks and thought I hit the jackpot. So I sold it and bought some games on steam with the money. Never accounted for value going up over time. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/AK-47%20%7C%20Fire%20Serpent%20%28Minimal%20Wear%29]The gun in question[/url][/QUOTE] Oh damn, I did this too with the Fire Serpent. I got it off CSGOLounge and traded it for a ~$90 knife though.

when I was in JV football in sophomore year this Senior had it out for me since I was a freshman and it came to a head one day. one practice we were all just standing around and he just takes his helmet in his hand and knocks me across my head, lucky I had my helmet on. He swings again and I grab his wrist, fuckhead pulls me to his face saying never to touch him again. I should have fucking bashed his fucking skull in with my facegaurd as hard as I possibly could. Just fucking unrelenting headbutts until his face resembled jelly. Bonus regret cuz I'm pissed now: One night 3 guys break into my house and hold my parents down on the ground with guns, I'm in my room wondering what's going on. I should have got my bat and just fucking beat their fucking craniums in, instead I froze when one of them came in and pointed that gun at me. Later we found out the guns were fake, painted toys. I could have rushed them and killed them all, I should have, just step on their fucking necks with all of my weight and swing my bat at their fucking heads like I was golfing. Oh and then the next week my defensive line coach hears about my home invasion and makes a snide quip about how "a kid who had a gun to his ear should be happy to be on this field" Should have socked him square in the neck.

i regret not dating in high school [editline]25th June 2016[/editline] really should've asked her out one time but i was too scared

[QUOTE=kaskade700;50591067]3 man advantage > baseball bat Your instincts did you a solid one.[/QUOTE] True, but I'm a rather big guy and it took at least 5 to 6 guys to bring me down during Oklahoma drills and these invaders were all really puny. Plus my parents would have helped out if they saw me doing something, and my mom is roughly my size too, so 3 on 3. But in the end I just regret not doing anything, grabbing the phone on the other end of the house would have been the smartest and easiest thing to do, but hey, I wasn't prepared for it.

I should have just said yes.

I love my girlfriend and very much want to marry her, but leaving my car with her while I'm away was a bad idea.

Not socializing enough with my classmates. But eh, I probably won't see them again anymore.

Not pursuing the girl I liked before she left college. And every single man I've ever had sex with, frankly. They were all shit.
