Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?

Yeah, that one. Care to share with us?

I’ll start. I dated a person, after we had already dated for a very short time, during which I was cheated on and eventually was left for a fourth person.

Yeah, not my brightest moment. And yes, I was cheated on again and again was left for another person.

    I was hiking and drinking with my friends. It was a hot day and I was drunk and dehydrated and we decided to climb down this large cliff that had waves at the bottom. If we fell it would have been death 100%. I remember holding onto this little plant thinking haha if this comes out I’m dead.

    When I was a child, my dad told me “Dont put anything metallic into that electric socket!”.

    So I took a screwdriver and put it in. Luckily my dad is pretty cautious and the fuse tipped, had no light thats it. Hell, I could have died.

    Did some other things, climbed at the side of a big bridge and flexed by only needing one hand to hold myself.

    That time I came inside her while drunk. 19 years later, I don’t regret the daughter I have, but the child support payments haven’t exactly been easy…

      Remember fellas, just because she can’t consent when she’s drunk sure as fuck doesn’t mean you can’t, too

          I’m saying that being drunk isn’t considered a valid excuse for men like it is for women. If the original commenter was a woman who said she regretted having unprotected sex while she was drunk, white knights would be lining up to tell her she was a victim of rape. Very rarely are people sympathetic to men who make poor sexual decisions while drunk

    Once, I was pouring a can of petrol (gas, if you’re American) onto a fire, which spread up the stream of petrol into the petrol tank. I panicked, and my genius solution of how to extinguish it was to shake it around, kinda like how you might do to put out a match.

    I poured burning petrol all over the ground and on my clothes, there was fire everywhere all around me. Luckily I was right next to the hosepipe, which I quickly turned on and doused everything in water before it got too out of hand.

    Everything was fine, but it could have been a lot worse.

    Edit: Don’t play with petrol/gasoline. Fire spreads through it way faster than you could ever imagine, it’s not like in the movies where it moves slow enough that you can stop it, it’s pretty much instant!

      My brother did that with ethanol in a small fire. That thing exploded and we nearly had a wildfire.

      Its the same as pissing on electric wires, DONT
