Reverse Bucket List

Make unwise drink fuelled decisions in Bangkok. 

Go on…

I will never try to get a cool haircut again. Just stick to what I know best. Made some horrible mistakes on that front. Stevie G / Michael Owen haircut philosophy now.

I hope to never go on another stag do, at least not one that involves flying somewhere or being away from home for more than one night.

I will never wank using salad cream as lube again, a failed experiment in my younger years, absolute agony, I think it was the vinegar that did the damage.

I’ve been working remote for the last 5 years and I think while I might end up back in some kind of office of sorts, I plan to never again work in an open plan office, involving any kind of commute.

I’m sure there are plenty of others but these come to mind immediately.

Edit: just to be clear the salad cream and open plan office items are not connected in any way

I imagine the cucumber up your arse was pretty uncomfortable too.

Yes but that hasn't made it onto the reverse bucket list

The opposite of the traditional bucket list. What thing do you plan to never ever do again before you die?

Mine would be drunkenly deciding to climb a lamppost whilst out on Saturday night. Two days later and I'm still in pain.

1. Consume the Indian soft cheese dessert rasgulla. Caught E. coli from it. Not pleasant.
2. Travel to Russia. Love Russian literature and music, and many Russian people, but I've less than zero interest in traveling there.
3. Visit a concentration camp. Visited Dachau in the 1980s. It's such a shattering experience, once is enough.
4. Go to an American football game. I played it as a kid and used to love it, but once my parents took me to England in the 1970s and I discovered association football, I totally lost interest in the American game. Dunno why. My brother had the same experience.
5. Code. Done a bit, even in the early 1980s, believe it or not.  It's baffling to me how people can enjoy coding. Never again if I can help it.
6. Go to a sports bar/sport pub etc. Hate 'em.
7. Hopefully, one day at a time, never take a drink. I'm a recovering drunk. Had my share. Same with "dry goods."
8. Be a new father again. Loved it. Greatest experience in my life, really. But I am moving into a different part of life now. 
9. Hunt. I did when I was young because it was what everyone did where I grew up. I don't enjoy killing animals. 
10. Listen to any of the following: Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Strokes, White Stripes, a lot of pop music today like Glass Animals -- I turn it off like it's an aural disease.

WHY??

We need a WHY?? thread.  Just why. No answers. Just the question --- and, inevitably, a WHY NOT? thread.

While generally, I can't relate to eight of your ten points, this is sort of parallel ... Never order and eat steak tartare in a third-world African country.

Locally, we have an Indo-Italian Pizza sports bar. While it is, actually, passable, just; but, No!!

This belongs on a philosophy thread ... but Why? is a dumb question ... How? Purpose? Meaning?

Came here to say this. I plan on staying sober for a 24 hour period every day for the rest of my life. God willing, I’ll never take a sip again.

Yeah, this is me, too. 

[GarethRDR]

Bank, mortgage or have any sort of dealings with NatWest.

[Anthony]

Never again:

Cheat on someone - coward move. Leave the relationship or deal with the issue, but don't cheat.

Work full time. **** that.

Camping. Too many miserable drenched 'holidays' in North Wales.

Was going to mention pegging @Designer1, but what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Never:

Visit Dubai. It's a poster child for so many things wrong with humanity.

Buy an Apple product.They're OK, but it's a horrible, narcissistic, gaslighting and abusive company.

Get a PhD. Six years on poverty wages, in your 20s, when your mates are buying houses and getting married.

[Tegis]

Help moving a piano. **** that, **** it again, **** **** ****

I did it in East London. With a white van. Do I win a prize?

There’s a special register for this sort of behaviour 

[sidcow]

Drink a pint of Carling Black Label. I did it in The Old Royal recently as a kind of dirty protest because of them ripping out the beer engines.  Ultimately it was just an act of self harm. 

[Mandy Lifeboats]

1. Take indirect flights. You save money but double the least enjoyable and stressful bits of air travel. 

2.  Eat vegetable soup in a cheap restaurant.  A mate is a chef.  He's worked in places where leftover vegetables on dirty plates become tomorrow's soup. 

3. Visit Middlesbrough.  The right armpit of Northern England.

4. Visit Liverpool. The left armpit of Northern England. 

5. Visit a circus that uses animals.  

6. Camping.  Miserable. 

7. Visit the V&A museum.   Pure boredom. 

8. Juggle pint glasses whilst drunk.  It used to be my party trick.  When sober I was excellent.  Then one day.......
