Moments you would erase from your life if you could

I once went on a snowboarding holiday with a few mates and various friends of theirs who I did not know. Loads of emails had been exchanged before and it transpired that two of the unknowns were Swedish girls. I have been to Sweden and know with certainty that 95% of swedish women are lush. I excited myself about this and in doing so got the other lads rather excited at the prospect.

When we arrived at the chalet not only were they gopping, they were very dull. The next day I was in a lift queue announcing to my friends "not only did they manage to find Sweden's only two minggers, they are dull as **** too." Guess who had just slid into place behind us.
 
Mostly in the 'no regrets' camp. Had one very nasty thing happen in my life and went basically into denial about life for a few years. Had to decide I was going to accept everything about my life in order to really start functioning again.

But for the sake of the thread... I really wish I could take back that the first car I bought with my own money was an Austin Maestro... and that I wrote it off within 3 months driving it like a retard mostly because I hated it so much.

God that was embarrasing to admit to!

I would probaby erase the 8 or so years I spent smoking weed, I definately would have got more done and been in a better place. 4 years of no greenery and life couldn't be better, I just wish I hadnt wasted so much time.

to the regret nothing mob surely there are external things that have happened to you which you would rather not have experienced? Don't have to be self-created - eg I didn't kill the cat but would rather it hadn't happened!

Well, I did think about it. But I don't think I'd change things if I had the power to. Even as macabre things as deaths, parent's breaking up, being nearly destitute, etc etc. Everyone has **** in their life - we have to take the rough with the smooth. To merely cherry pick the good bits from our morsel existence would be absurd - we may as well be mindless automatons.

I agree I wouldn't change the big things. The examples I've given are a dead cat and insulting some Swedish trogs. Had neither of those things happened I would undoubtedly still be the same person.

I wasn't really going for the serious stuff with this, but easy come easy go, it's all interesting.
 
Started smoking too young.

Not using my full potential in everyday life and in classes, I am actually a very bright person which most people already know, but that doesn't really show everyday with the things I do with my time. I really need some more motivation :(
It's one of those things where I just feel I need a bit of a reward first before I go do anything, such a horrible attitude really. I just really need to realise that I need to work my arse off first and start small before going for my ultimate goals, there's no such thing where you start at the top unfortunately :(
 
Made a joke about Stephen Hawking (not pc I know and I can't say I'm all that proud of it) at the pub. It seemed to go down well at the time, but my face, when the girl I barely knew sat opposite wheeled away to the toilet....

I'll never forget that one. My mates around me at the time loved it (they all knew she was disabled) but it was the most awful moment of my life.
 
got a few silly regrets but most of them can laugh off despite how embarrasing they were at the time. the main one that i live with is squaring off with my dad over trying to stop me playing pc games late at night just after his dad (my grandad) had died, kicked off with him right infront of all the greiving family :(.


thankfully we have both changed
 
Going to Normandy and spending the most uncomfortable distressing long weekend of my life! I'll never be able to forget what happened their. I had my heart broken by people who I thought were genuinely good people who ment the world to me, the way they spoke and treated me will always haunt me. My actions of going wild with a hatchet was unacceptable but I would still do it again even possibly go a step further.

Indeed. I love hypotheticals like this. But I just can't see myself changing things. Plus, I'd really prefer not to create an alternate 1985... who knows? Me not getting dumped by Miss X could mean I die a week later after getting run over picking up a present for her. Or some such jazz.
