Sometimes we all do things that we later cringe at and wish we hadn't done. What have you done lately that you regret?

My latest regret is that I got rather pished on the weekend and snogged a close friend. That was not a good move. In the grander scheme of things, I regret letting a few of my friends go by the wayside lately. Too many stupid arguments that could've been sorted out if I'd approached it differently.

Penny Lane, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Lately? Snapped at a couple of people here and there after a long week.

Posting things like "I only know one of those songs"...I wasn't really trying to be sarcastic! So, hmmmm, sorry about that!

jel --, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

penny, you seem somehow...familiar

I regret starting a couple of conversations with my recent ex, as it led to her saying things that I didn't want to hear. But that's about it - there's not a lot I regret at the moment. NOT doing things, that's a different matter.

Now I feel bad for posting "I only know of those songs" on jel's thread.

I regret letting last week go completely to shit as far as various important things (bill-paying, buying stuff, working on the site) are concerned. I'm blaming it on post-holiday downturn but I still feel a bit useless and will do until I get something done.

i regret having a bouzy lunch yesterday and then carrying on the red wine drinking till about 9pm, thus bringing total consumed to nearly 2 bottles. well actually i don't regret it but my guts do - they are SHRIEKING for some peppermint tea! i think that myself, Sarah and Emma must have had some kind of strange alcholic urge mind-meld last night... oh hang on it was prolly just normal behaviour :)

katie, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I got pished too so count me in on the mind meld (though I got a doubel strike on my last ball bowling and really pissed off the bloke who was thirty points in the lead by winning - Yay!).

I regret posting the entire plot to the episode of Black Books I feverishly came up with last night.

Pete, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't worry bnw, I thought that is was funny when you did that!

jel --, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was doing a sort of suggestive dance to ABC with my headphones on. Not aware that Mother was watching. I kindof regret that.

Evangeline, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I regret not making as much money as I used to. Financial trouble (even if it's very very mild, like mine is) is not sexy.

Dan Perry, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will imminently regret pissing about here, as if I don't write 12000 words worth of essays in the next three weeks I 'm not going to get a degree...

owen hatherley, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will regret pissing about here, if I don't finish my 2000 word essay for Wednesday morning.

Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My "How many people have you alienated ect" thread and the events therein. Still.

Graham, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've got a half dozen regrets I'm trying to deal with at the moment, some more than others. #1 is regretting allowing myself to get in so much damn debt..

electric sound of jim, Monday, 8 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Crying at everything everyone says, for one.

gabbneb, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 21:20 (seventeen years ago)

the years 1983-2008

Oilyrags, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 21:24 (seventeen years ago)

Oilyrags OTM.

Bimble, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 21:26 (seventeen years ago)

I have loads, but to name them all wouldn't be wise.
As for regrets about not doing things, i'm trying to put that right.

not_goodwin, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

once again failed to organize my time effectively, ended up in a shitstorm of work.

kenan, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 21:42 (seventeen years ago)

OMG Oilyrags are you another est. 1983 or did shit start weighing you down when cognizance faded in?

Abbott, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:04 (seventeen years ago)

I have to say this is one of my favorite song lyrics in the thread title

Regrets, I've had a few

...But then again, TOO FEW TO MENTION!!!

Abbott, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:06 (seventeen years ago)

Tons of stuff I did/said/ways I thought about things 1990-2008.

dell, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:07 (seventeen years ago)

I can never think of any regrets! OTOH it isn't because I have lived a stainless life but bcz I have a bad memory about things when asked a direct question. Which is why I can never answer questions about meals or recent events.

Abbott, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:09 (seventeen years ago)

I regret not punching the guy next to me in the head.

Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:17 (seventeen years ago)

there's still time

electricsound, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:18 (seventeen years ago)

regrets. I don't think I can regret anything I have done, even the really bad things, because it would be pointless.

"regrets...Ive had a few.." is more about missed chances and missed connections, I think.

aimurchie, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:23 (seventeen years ago)

calling to mind that old butthole surfers song, of course. But seriously, regret of things you *have* done is not pointless. It keeps you from making those mistakes again, old friend.

scott seward, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:32 (seventeen years ago)

that was me (scott and I share one computer these days)

Maria :D, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:33 (seventeen years ago)

I regret posting drunken myspace comments. I regret spending instead of saving money.

Maria :D, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:37 (seventeen years ago)

I regret buying a Playstation II instead of a ticket to see my grandma.

Maria :D, Thursday, 24 April 2008 02:37 (seventeen years ago)

Thanks Maria - old friend.

I guess what I was thinking is that regretting can become more than the event.
Maybe I'm associating it with guilt.

I just have learned that I HAVE to move on. And I probably have more regrets and guilt than...I don't know, Jesus?

And,if you want me to feel guilty again for any reason, I can do it! I am very in touch with my guilt.

aimurchie, Thursday, 24 April 2008 04:41 (seventeen years ago)

I regret that I ordered a six inch eggplant parmesan grinder tonight, rather than the twelve inch grinder. because I have no fucking leftovers!

aimurchie, Thursday, 24 April 2008 04:48 (seventeen years ago)

"And,if you want me to feel guilty again for any reason, I can do it! I am very in touch with my guilt."

You being the "general you", not you Maria.

I was trying to make fun of the fact that I have the ability to feel guilty for things I did not do.

aimurchie, Thursday, 24 April 2008 04:56 (seventeen years ago)

I regret not having been born one of the crazy frog brothers

El Tomboto, Thursday, 24 April 2008 05:06 (seventeen years ago)

in light of that all other mishaps that have befallen me whether deserved or not seem quite silly to even worry about

El Tomboto, Thursday, 24 April 2008 05:08 (seventeen years ago)

It's hard to regret anything because every significant event enhances who you are in some way. I had a shit job that nearly killed me but I got a wife out of it. In the '90s I went out with a psycho; the experience taught me to never go out with anyone that crazy ever again. etc etc.

Unless you killed someone or something, obviously.

The only regrets that bother me, decades after the fact, involve treating a person badly who did nothing to deserve bad treatment. Not going into the douchebag details here. Still ashamed.

Aimless, Thursday, 5 January 2012 23:50 (thirteen years ago)

so so many, sadly
