Looking back (at mistakes)

The first thread I ever posted on Smogon. It was some shit about Snapple I copypasta'd from GameFAQs, and it was that day I learned what flaming truly was. It racked up a good seven or eight pages of hate, punctuated by pleas from me to have the thread Tro du Culled (Culed? Cul'd?).
BEST FIRST IMPRESSION EVER.

Hah, yeah I did something similar, I thought to myself I must post a thread in firebot, but what? I remembered a funny joke that I had seen before, and went and got it. I didn't get completely bitched out, but it was a lesson learned nonetheless.
 
If bad posts or embarrassing situations is all most of you guys have to regret, I'd love to have your lives.

I regret ever trusting the only person who had the ability to completely complete or destroy my heart. Guess what choice she made.

edit: yeah I was a bit depressed when I wrote this, but I'm getting over it slowly (it's been a while now). You made me smile on the inside AJers ;).
 
That's rough, Bam Ur Dead, I don't know the situation... but I think most of the people in the world can relate to trusting someone (be it a friend, family member, or significant other) and having that trust blow up in your face.

But, I don't think that's a mistake on YOUR part, unless you didn't really trust them and shared information with them that was detrimental to you.

It's completely on them. And yeah, it may suck for awhile... but eventually you'll move on with your life. She's going to be the one who will eventually look back and see how badly she ... messed up, and her regrets/her thoughts of the "coulda been/woulda been/shoulda beens" will always be there.

Then we take a look at the first few lines of this thread.

Now this thread isn't about life changing mistakes, nothing serious, just stupid mistakes you might make in your daily life. Some of the more interesting, and when looking back at them, funny mistakes you've made.

and realize its not supposed to be about any serious mistakes, and the regret the comes along with them.

Anyways done defending myself, I've never been in the situation you've just been put through, but I know it must suck, anyways hopefully you'll just get stronger from this experience and move on in time.
 
While it was a very long time ago, when I was very young, it remains with me to this day as an embarrassing flub. You see, my dad and I were in Costco, looking at this huge table of computer games. Either I was just feeling affectionate or trying to butter him up so he would buy me something, I went over to him, grabbed his arm, and said "Daddy, I really really love you." However, my irate brother comes over and drags me away. I'm a bit confused, until he points out that I was in fact proclaiming my love to a complete stranger. It's something I remember every now and again and laugh at.
 
Well, I talked about how shitty my winter track season was, but I was getting ready for spring now. I trained a lot for the past few weeks and I ran a sub 5 minute mile, so I thought I was going to do well now... turns out that I have a fucking stress fracture and can't run for another 2-3 MONTHS and have to wear these horrible leg brace things for 6-8 weeks. All because I ran through my injury during winter track and injured myself even more. Watching all my teammates get better than me and watching myself lag behind is just too much for me now, I was hoping to reach somewhere between 4:40-4:50 by the end of this season but now I know I have no chance, plus I'll be really shitty when I come back next year (which is my final year, senior year.) I hope I can look back in the future now and find this shit stupid, but I got to admit that there were so many things in my life connected to running, not just my times, I don't know what to do anymore.

But i think the biggest mistake I made was how much emphasis I put on running. I was never a great runner anyhow, I just did it for fun. And back when I was running, I had so many unrealistic expectations I could never achieve that it's kinda laughable. Why was running such a big part of my life? I can just achieve other things, however small they are. I don't know how I'm going to see this in the future, but there's still time to avoid any more mistakes and move onto something else...
 
The stupidest thing I remember doing is probably shaking a carton of milk before pouring it into a glass, but not realizing that the cap was loose, so it spilled everywhere.
 
i discovered that i could get visual studio 2008 for free, so i had no use for the linux partition on my laptop any more. instead of looking up the correct way to do it, i fiddled around with the settings in vista and fucked it up so much that it couldn't boot. i had to reformat the machine; i lost everything on it.

that was a mistake, but then again i quite like refreshing my machines every now and then
 
A couple years back I was about to finish paying my car note of 2 years. It was a couple weeks before my birthday in June as well. My buddy Synre(best friend IRL), my girlfriend and another friend headed up to my grandmothers house where she has a private beach. We got up there, and actually earlier that afternoon I went and paid of the aforementioned car. Got to our destination just fine, everything was working wonderfully. Loaded up our stuff to head down to the beach (she lives back in the woods and her beach is obviously not in the woods). We had thrown a giant floaty raft thing in the back and I couldnt see around it, so I just assumed that I was clearing what I needed to (trees on the side of the driveway). So we start backing down the driveway, bang crash boom my mirror (drivers side) is gone and my front is all banged up, my light is just hanging. I was like you have got to be fucking kidding me, and said "Oh well, may as well head to the beach, sitting here isnt going to solve anything" so I started to back out and my grandma came running out whatever. So we stopped put some of it together and went on our way and had an enjoyable evening. Needless to say I was expecting some 500 dollars or so worth of damages which is about what it was, but I bought a few pieces from the junkyard later that week and replaced it all myself.

The moral to this story is, I bought a new Mustand and when I pay that note off I will not drive the car for a long time! haha
