What do you regret?

[Joborule]

I have many regrets. Many of which are minor, but some that are major that effect/bother me.

Looking back a few years ago, I regret my lack of effort in school. 5th year in university but should've been graduated by now if I applied myself more in the initial years.

Also regret not branching out of a tiny social circle that was a dull clique. I should've made more use of the social scene of post-secondary. At least I got a chance to do that still.

Another regret is putting faith in women to be honest. Holy crap, did I ever learn a lesson there. Trust has gone down a ton for me.

I also kind o f regret not going to University when I was registered when I was 19. Somehow I thought $15 an hour was a better idea.

I have similar regrets which I think we discussed in some thread a couple of years ago.
I saw "Stand and Deliver" several years too late!

Don't really regret much , everything I have done has brought me to where I am today. That being said, I wish I would have sealed the deal on a few threesomes that were right in front if me. I wish I would have continued on with football, but I liked partying too much. Baseball, same thing.

Few?

I'm don't know if I should be impressed, or unimpressed that you didn't take those offers. Quite some resiliency you got.

I actually find I regret less as I've gotten older. Too much energy wasted on thinking about what could have been when you could concentrate on what you can do to make what's in front of you better.

But if I had to pick one thing it's not flying down to Game 7 in 2004 when there were tickets still available game day. However, I guess either way I was going to regret that decision unless somehow a different outcome would have come out of it.

I regret not asking a girl out when I had a chance.

I regret then going out with a girl that has since totally ####ed my life up

I regret not joining hockey as a kid, that way I wouldn't be an all star beer league player.

I regret watching 7 of 10 games this season.

I bullied an overweight girl in middle school about her being overweight. I don't believe I was really appreciative of how cruel it was at the time but I wish I hadn't done it.

Also, while in Canada this summer I made a drunken remark to a person I didn't even really know that I'm sure was hurtful. It was bigoted and incredibly unrepresentative of what I really love about Canadian culture. A painful example of what years of living overseas in a country with a lot of racism and distrust can do to a person. Shameful.

Those pains caused to others that I can't take back are regrets.

Listening to an idiotic friend when he passed me his laptop and with a crap eating grin (pun intended) said "just watch this".

[OffsideSpecialist]

I regret choosing to live with my current roommates.

Nothing to be impressed with I was too drunk twice to realize it was being offered, the other time would have meant me having to boot a buddy out who wanted the other girl. She told me that her and the girl I was with were planning it, but my buddy came along after the bar. She even asked me to tell him to go home, but it was like 4:00am and way across the city. Plus like I said he really wanted her. The worst part was that in trying to convince me when she cornered me... lets just say my buddy probably got a bad taste in his mouth later that night/morning

I have had regrets over the years. What's kind of funny about them is that they lead me to do things later that make me appreciate what happened (not in a "I'm glad it happened" way but in a "just because I did/didn't do something doesn't mean the outcome would be ideal).

I used to regret not asking out a girl I was head over heels for in high school. I did ask out a girl I was head over heels for in university and it destroyed me. Now when I think back of the girl from high school I don't think about what could have been.

I used to regret not taking an extra 2 minutes to say goodbye to my dog before leaving my parents place one weekend going back to university. My best friend quickly died before I returned home. I always took take those extra few minutes to take those departing moments when I'm leaving family. I'll always cherish those last few moments I spent with my grandmother.

If you learn from your regrets, are they really regrets?

I regret not going to University.
I regret quitting swimming when I was 16.
I regret a lot of things I did in my 20's.
I regret wasting 15 years of my life in retail.
I regret having 8 pieces of raisin toast in the past 24 hours.
I regret buying that Spa Lady membership in 1999.
I regret not being able to say goodbye to both my grandmothers before they died.
Hmmmm... I think I should just stop there... too many to list.

[dissentowner]

I regret...actually I just want a big re-do with my life there are so damn many.

[Puppet Guy]

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention...

[SportsJunky]

I regret giving up on the Flames. They are up 3-0 in the 1st period!

That made me laugh for some odd reason.

1) I regret not getting into hockey until later in life. I love the sport and play tons now, but I wish I had done it as a kid.

2) I regret not enjoying University more. Lived with my 2 best friends and had lots of fun times, but a break up with my high school girlfriend of 4 yearsled me to wasting 2 of the 4 years.

3) I regret watching that video a few years ago of the guy getting his head cut off. Don't know why I watched it and it still kinda haunting.

4) I regret not travelling until I hit my late 20s.

I'm sure he's joking but either way I have come to terms with this after 10+ years of blaming myself.
