Thread: Ever had a moment you regret?

Yeah you could have got her convertible ya big dummy.....


But what kind of idiot who lives in the city doesn't know not to drive with your purse in the seat with windows down or the top down? Even my gf knows better and things like that rarely happen here in Hawaii.

Everyone, who's sane, has had several moments of regret.

My regret would be moving from Los Angeles.

Luckily these construction workers moved it to their lot, she left the car with the keys in it.

That was pretty dumb of her when you consider this was in Harlem.

Aside from opening this thread, I have no regrets.

Yep, that very same night I was asleep I heard noise coming from the back of my apartment where my car is parked. I'm a few feet away from it looking down from my window.

I looked and noticed the car was rocking violently back and forth. This was at 3:00 in the morning. I took my flashlight for a better look and saw her on him, they didn't notice the flashlight or they just didn't care.
Well my regret was I didn't set up my surveillance camera with night vision in time to record this.

After 30 minutes I had enough I tried to go to bed but her moaning kept me up till 4:00 in the morning. They were animals I say.

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!

I have a lot of regrets. I never make sense of anyone that says they have none. No matter what the explanation (which always sounds like it comes from some self-help book), I never accept it as a logical answer and either write them off as a liar, dumb, or both.

its not worth it to live with the weight of my regrets.

i still bear the scars (be they emotional/physical/whatever),
but I remember the lesson and push the regret aside.

The last regret that i can remember me and my GF were coming home on a sunday night from a nice dinner. I was going down a one way street a couple of blocks from home and had to stop for a double parked car that was still blocking most of the street. I couldn't get by and starting honking at the guy. After a min or two i got mad and got out of my car to see what this asshole's problem was. By this time there was a line of cars behind me waiting to get by, some backing out of the block others just honking.

I get to the car (It was a brand new Audi A6) and see one kid in the driver's seat with a blank stare on his face and another kid sleeping in the back, no one in shotgun. Both kids were still in there teens, so it seemed. I asked the kid if he's okay, no answer. I asked louder, no answer, just that blank stare into nowhere. He looked at me, but more so through me. So i shook the kid with no verbal response. I did my quick first aid assessment, made sure the kid was breathing and had a pulse etc. During this process the kid in the back wakes up and is actually verbal. I ask him what they're on (i think it might have been PCP or something like Ketamine) and the kid wouldn't tell me. So i tell them i'm not a cop and their blocking a street and very soon me or someone else will call the police and they will be fucked. So we both try to talk to the driver with no verbal response, just that same blank stare. I finally tell the kids they better park the car and walk it off, whatever they are on. We get the driver out of the car and put him in the back, the other kid assures me he knows how to drive (his gait was steady, and his speech/thought pattern was clear, which is the only reason i even let him in the driver's seat). As they pull out and make a right i continue going straight but glance over to the right and see the car going like 5 mph and swaying over to the oncoming lane. At this point i decide that this dickhead either A)is fucked up or B)can't drive. Either way he lied to me. So i call the precinct and tell them that there is a drunk driver on the streets swerving into oncoming lanes, i describe the car and the kids etc. They then tell me they are too busy but will try and handle it ASAP. That was a bullshit cop out. I decided to just go home. I felt guilty for two days because i could've just through the car into the first available space, locked the keys in the trunk and told them to go fuck themselves and to sober up then drive off (my cop friend locks people's keys in the trunk when he doesn't arrest high/drunk drivers but doesn't want them on the streets until they are sober).

My inaction had me pissed because those kids were driving around my neighborhood all wrecked and god knows what they could've done. I kindda wrestled with those thoughts for a while but let it go because what was done was done and i atleast tried to do something with safety in mind. Like FishOrCutBait said, you live and learn and try not to dwell on mistakes.

Hindsight is twenty twenty dude.

Thats a tired ass phrase that rings true every time I find out later how much more I could have done.

Its not your fault those kids were dumb and effed up man,
you did what you knew was best at the moment. at least you took the initiative.

DAMN, twice a fool in one day.....she damn well deserved it I say. Only people I know who would do that are cops trying to run a trap scheme like the ones who pose as drunks with jewelry....

But honestly I wouldn't be that easy of a mark here in Hawaii and this is the least likely place for something like that to happen.....

I don't think I have 1 single regret...and I'm perfectly sane (at least I'd like to think so) Anything stupid that I have done (which wasn't anything that out of the ordinary), I've learned from. I wouldn't trade away that experience for anything. I had to learn the hard way from time2time when I was a teenager.

waoooo, i spend15 minutes to understood the total comment.

Exclusively in the USA.

I think of Dexter Morgan when I think of someone with no regrets. No depth.

Everybody does things they regret.

For me, my regrets usually involve too much alcohol.

I love it when he tries to give an expression based off what he thinks society wants to see.

Oh, and I agree.

Yeah you always ask me to pound your ass when you are drinking. Good thing I wasn't drunk as well, then I would have something to regret.

The day I ask you or anybody to pound my ass, is the day I end this misery they call life.

Well then stop drinking... your homo tendencies shine through when you do.

This is true.

"If I had a heart right now, it would be breaking."

On a serious note, hearing someone say "I dont have regrets" translates to me as to how THEY deal with regrets. Having a regret is a lesson learned, not a damnation.

Its a silly thing people are afraid to admit. reminds me of a person who constantly gets a cold. "Oh do you have allergies?" "no, I just have a cold." "Again? Damn, so you always get sick?! What a shitty immune system you must have."

i have a couple regrets. a few things that i regret dont bother me at all becouse i learned from them. the few that i truly regret i try to make up for.
