Psychologist Dr. Christopher Peterson, who is the author of Pursuing the Good Life, says that a bucket list might help with goal setting but the drawback is that it also implies a "check off the boxes" approach to our time on Earth, which can lead to a superficial sense of fulfillment and distract from deeper, more meaningful experiences.
So let's take a look at a bucket list that is meant to not be completed. An anti-bucket list, if you will. A few days ago, Reddit user TheDeadYeti made a post on the platform, inviting everyone to share the things that they have tried and vowed to never do again. From chasing popularity to staying at hostels, here are the most upvoted entries to the discussion.

Cave crawling. I've done walking cave tours since this story I'm gonna tell, no problem. What I'm talking about is laying on my stomach and sliding through gaps in caves that look too small for a house cat to slip through. The one that made me reconsider caving as a hobby was a professional cave club tour, but not one advertised to the public because it was so demanding and specialized. I felt really comfortable with the two leads despite some minor claustrophobia because they were highly recommended by the club. I had little pings of fear here and there but the leaders were so comforting that it was adding to the experience rather than taking away from it.
We were probably a quarter mile crawl (no place to even fully get on your hands and knees let alone stand and stretch) one group leader in front and one in back to insure our group was sandwiched by experienced guys. Anyway, the leader was in front of me, two of my group behind me then the 2nd leader. The guy behind me got legitimately stuck and started grabbing and scratching at my legs and feet which sent me into a full blown panic, the third guy got kicked in the nose and lip which pissed him off and caused him try to leave, but this is literally a perfect human sized tunnel so no one could urn around, plus the 2nd leader was behind him blocking him in, causing him to freak out as well. After a solid ten minutes of yelling and kicking at each other, the leaders got us to quiet down enough so they could make a plan. I crawled ahead another 200 feet or so with the 1st lead to a wider gap where we could both get on our hands and knees and turn around, ten minutes ago this big gap would've been a god send, in that moment though I was so panicked it didn't matter, I might as well have been buried alive. Anyway, the lead left me and crawled back to help pull the stuck guy through, but couldn't because he was just too big. The two guys in the back had to crawl all the way out, sliding backwards since they couldn't turn around head first, then the 2nd leader crawled all the way back to pull the stuck guy out. Obviously I immediately agreed to leave when I was told the guys were pulling out and silently cried all the way back. I have never been so genuinely terrified in my life, it's an indescribable feeling. Imagine every drop of adrenaline your body can produce being pumped through you but not being able to crawl more than four or five feet per minute, soaking wet, covered in stinky mud, freezing cold yet sweat is burning your eyes but your arms are stretched out so far forward so you can only use your dirty finger tips to swipe it away. It was like one of those nightmares where you're trying to run and scream but your legs don't work and your scream for help comes out silent.
I'm glad I did something that scared me that deeply though I'm not sure why lol. It was just a little too close to a real disaster for me. I'll base jump in a squirrel suit before I cave crawl like that again.
Cecil 1 year ago
Excellent question. Seems like cruel and unusual punishment. See zero upsides or benefits of putting your life in danger to crawl for miles. How this makes anybody feel like they accomplished something is so far beyond me that it's in the same category as dating a known serial killer just to see if I could get through it. I once experienced a very scary life-threatening experience while on a work trip. Rather than being proud of myself for using my wits and getting through it, I've been nothing but angry with myself for going into a situation knowing there was a slight chance of danger, just to please my boss. Not worth it!

Just reading this gave me anxiety! My mom and I got "trapped" in a cave when I was 6, and I've hated them ever since. We weren't really trapped for more than 10 minutes - I was scared once we started the tour and wanted to go back. Except when we got back to the beginning there was a locked gate. We freaked out until the next tour came through and opened it. :)

Bad teeth can lead to a lot of dangerous health issues, especially if you have an autoimmune disease. I have Lupus. Years ago I had a mild infection in a tooth. I made an appointment with my dentist that was 6 days ahead. 3 days later I woke up in ICU with a massive blood infection that almost killed me. They removed almost all my top teeth on one side to drain, clean out all the infection. Even now, my Lupus will cause sores in my mouth & I always call both my dentist & my rheumatologist to make sure I stay safe.

HOA's should be banned. Could never understand how strangers can tell you what you can and can't do with your own property.
XanthippeⓐWulf🇨🇦️️🇬🇧 1 year ago (edited)
The concept was meant to keep people from doing crazy things to "lower the property values" like parking broken down cars & appliances on the lawn or painting your house puke green with hot pink zebra print. However, it seems to be an organization that attracts nosy a-holes with too much time on their hands that have ruined its original intended purpose. When I lived in a neighborhood, I had a hate/ mildly tolerate relationship with the HOA. I loved that they kept the neighborhood looking great, but it also made me feel murderous when I'd receive a warning letter 10 seconds after my grass got 4 mm longer than "allowed."

David 1 year ago
Not all HOAs are 'bad' but it's important to read the contract carefully. I helped a friend buy a house I guess 10 or 15 years ago. The HOA is quite reasonable. A nominal yearly fee to pay for replacing private street lights and annual drain maintenance. Some reasonable restrictions on what you can do to avoid a house turning into a shitshow. Like you can't paint your house neon green and fill your front yard with RVs and parts cars. But in the years she has lived there, the HOA has never been a problem. YMMV

When I purchased my place, I was a professional real estate analyst and got sucker punched within 22 hours after closing. My first fine- a noise violation due to playing music on my cellphone behind closed doors, I was painting when the unit was empty. I researched for hours, but had no reason to believe that only two residents out of 48 reported 90% of the infractions. The management company tucked the revenue under "fees" along with the monthly charge.

Ryan Mercer 1 year ago (edited)
The worst part about him and his followers is how they steal the message. What they espouse has nothing to do with men's rights. It's about getting their way, period. There are no underlying principles or concepts beyond that. So while it manages to generate a lot of heat, it also undermines genuine men's rights issues, which are a thing that exist, but that peons like Tate will never comprehend, let alone stand up for. Believe it or not, there are domestic dispute scenarios where men get abused by women. Is Tate gonna lend a helping hand, or call them an unmanly loser? Narcissism is not manliness, it's jackassery. Unfortunately, it completely clouds the real men's issues, which are not in fact in diametric opposition to women's rights. Tate is insecurity personified and his only real interest is fame.

I used to love going to Disneyland, but the magic has worn off for me. It's so crowded you can hardly walk around, the wait to get on a ride is ridiculous even with FastPass (or whatever the current equivilent is; it's been a decade since my last visit), and it's just too damned expensive. And it's not just inflation; a general admission ticket in 1964 was $1.20, which would be $15.88 today. Now it varies depending on what day of the week/month you want to go, and ranges between $104 and $194. Then there's another $25 to park your car...

A coworker is an acquaintance at best. A very select few may become your friend(s). One may even become your partner. The rest, though, are irrelevant to your life outside of work. You're not important to them, and they shouldn't be important to you either. When you leave they'll only care about who is taking over from you. Equally, when they leave, you won't give a damn except to wonder who their replacement will be. Be polite to them, yes. But don't assume they're your friends.

You do not need to give up drinking alcohol, just make sure you use it in moderation. Life can be "funner" still with an occasional uninhibited alcohol-fueled moment. And (assuming you're not actually an alcoholic) it is still fun as you get older.

It's funny how many folks can't accept the fact that some people choose not to drink.

As a person who chooses not to drink alcohol, I've heard them all.

Good lord I was angry and I made absolutely certain they knew I’d never go out with them again if I saw them get trashed like that one more time, I’m not a babysitter.

Attend a massive event. I was at Obama's inauguration in 2008, I went to college nearby and thought it would be cool to be a part of. It was freezing cold, and many people weren't ready for that. I was, but I wasn't ready for the realities of 2.5 million people descending on a city with a population of 600k. No food, no water, no restrooms, no shelter, no room to move at all, nowhere to sit down after hours on end of standing and walking. Trash everywhere, subway stations were a claustrophobic's nightmare, people were fainting from dehydration. I ended up walking over 4 miles over the Potomac to Virginia to catch a train home. Ended up being an exhausting 12 hour day. It's cool to say I was there but I'll never put myself in a crowd that size again.

Depending where you are, there are lots of reasons to make it legal.

Having said that, I also don't recommend anybody do it if they're not VERY sure because divorce is friggin expensive and also mentally draining.

As dumb as it seems (and really, it does, lmao) it's not actually dumb. The duck is fending for itself, regardless of any other creature nearby.

We have geese and most of them behave like this. Except George, he's a special kind of special, he just sits and looks away from you as if you can't see him because he can't see you.

And that *will* splash water everywhere, causing more tender bodily orifices to get tainted with SALT. By the time you make it back to shore everything will be on fire, and it will take a long, long time to wash all that SALT out. The Dead Sea: not even once.

I stayed in a hostel once and NEVER AGAIN! I was a contestant on a game show that taped in NYC. Unlike other game shows, this particular production company did not pay for hotel accommodations. The only place in Manhattan that I could afford for two nights was a hostel. It was a mall room in a very sketchy-looking building. The bed was little more than a cot. The room had a bare bulb light hanging from the ceiling and a small (12 in.), B&W TV with an antenna. Mind you this was in 2007. The bathroom and shower were down the hall. I didn't trust the cleanliness of the place so I slept on top of the covers for two nights. I couldn't wait to get back home! For the record - it was worth it because I won $16,000 on the show and got to meet Meredith Viera.

Stayed in one hostel in my entire life, in Amsterdam in the late '70s and it was a hoot! I was travelling with a group of kids from high school in St. John's, Newfoundland, and we all bunked in the same room (about 10 of us) in literal bunkbeds. Chatted with teens from the US and China in the lobby one night, played cards with some locals another night. The best was going to the cafeteria the first day and spotting a pinball machine in the corner. That was cool enough but, as I got closer, I saw what a treasure this really was. To this day, the only Elton John Pinball Wizard pinball machine I've seen in the wild. Magical stuff! But, to be fair, I wouldn't even think about doing it now. So much has changed.

My first was hideous - I'd missed a month of training due to an injury so I didn't have quite enough miles in the legs. I started falling apart after 18 miles and had to walk a lot. I was so disappointed with myself I vowed to do better next year and I did. I've done 12 and they never get easy, but they do get less horrible.

I enjoy working out and playing sports, especially water sports like competitive canoeing, but running is like torture to me. I drunkenly signed up for a 5K with my friend and then panicked the next day when I realized I actually had to train. I loved the actual race part as it was so much fun to be around all the other runners who were excited. However, I still loathe running by myself-- I get so insanely bored despite listening to podcasts and music.

That requires a long gradually increasing training period to safely run a marathon.

Never ran one. Walked one, twice. It was called "The Hike for HOPE". You got people to sponsor you: so much per mile; the money supported the hospital ship SS HOPE. The first year I was tired and sore; thought about stopping, but a wiseguy coworker sponsored me at $1.00 per mile. I kept going just to spite him. Yeah, that's only $26; this was 1973. Not a fortune but he wasn't happy which made all the difference. Don't tell me "you can't" 'cause I will. P.S. The second year was easier. That guy wouldn't sponsor me again. Maybe I shouldn't have told him his snide comments were the only reason I kept going the first year.

Jet skiing.
My brother refused to slow down. My ankles, knees, hips and back were so f****d up from all the bouncing that when we stopped at a beach I couldn’t walk.
The jet ski was extremely bouncy, and we hit a particularly bad patch of water. We jumped and slammed back down and my head flew forward and my chin hit his back. I legitimately felt my brain rattle.
Two weeks later I was diagnosed with PCS after having nonstop migraines, throwing up, extreme lethargy and what I can only describe as disassociation.

Jet skis are the loud car wankers of the sea.

Kristal 1 year ago
Okay I have a Cluster B (BPD) and there aren't "symptoms", it's straight up reactions to uncontrollable emotions. Not sure about the rest, but for BPD, you CAN control how you react to the emotions. It took me a bit to learn but it can be done. The trick is to admit that I suck, I am abusive, I am toxic, I hurt people. The problem is it's extremely hard for anyone to admit those things, let alone someone with a personality disorder. I say this to not let stigma continue for this diagnosis. I am not encouraging anyone to "stick it out" in a relationship cause of this. If the person is actually trying to change (and making progress), then they are a green flag. Otherwise, if they aren't willing to change, yeah, run from those red flags!

Spelunking. In college my friends and I went to explore a nearby cave. You had to squeeze over a boulder and contort into a little opening to enter and then descend down into the cave. We got down to a largish room and took a break. There was a path to go further but I said I would just wait for them to come back. They went on - with the flashlights - and I stayed put in total and complete darkness. I don't know how long I waited, but when I began to hear their voices and see glimmers of light return I was beyond relieved. When we got out of the cave we all were muddy and sweaty and I knew I would never do anything like that again.

I like on cave tours when they switch off the lights to show you how dark it was. one of the ones we toured, they had little lamps made from a scallop shell and fat, with a wick, I forget what it was made from. they would switch off the lights, then after a while, light one of those, to show you what it was like lit with what they'd found evidence of in the caves. it was still insanely dark. but as long as you don't need to move around, there's something remarkably relaxing and peaceful about it.

Have been white water rafting a few times, including class 3 /4 rapids. I LOVED it. Sitting in one of the bow 'seats' (side of the raft) and facing every drop and wave head on. Really good memories. One thing I probably wouldn't do these days is straddle the boat like a horse. Having one leg out helps with stability but if it got smashed between the raft and a boulder that would have been bad. I did fall out once in white water but both raft and me were traveling at speed and I managed to get back in (with help from other pulling me in).

Doing anything before stretching… I’m 33.
keyboardtek 1 year ago
I always tear something if I stretch before warming up the tissue. Cold Yoga always damaged something. Do at least a short walk, or a warm bath/shower to soften the ligaments and get the blood circulating before stretching. A smart Yoga teacher has the class doing some kind of warm ups before stretching anything.

I happened to be there on the independence day (or whatever) and her parents insisted we went to this castle for a tour and in the evening we went to the city center to watch the fireworks. But besides that it was little shops well hidden away from the big roads. Local parks and cemetaries that were just beautiful. Tramrides to local flea markets. All that. I would never go there again. But I loved that I got to see a more "authentic"version of the city. Also had some good conversations with the dad about life in Hungary during Communism.

I loath this place, not because of her, but every time it’s raining and I’ve gotta be the absolute sucker to cut down the stupid god damn tree with a dull saw someone had in their garage for the last twenty years, and get soaked to the bone struggling to cut down a $90 spruce that someone’s going to watch die in their living room.

Artificial trees (high-quality ones, not Walmart c**p) are the only way to go.

I've come full circle. When I was young (60s) the fake trees looked crappy. Many people still had those aluminum trees. I was all about 'real' trees. But real trees back then were a lot cheaper. One year we did the live tree and planted it afterwards. It is still standing - about 60-70 feet tall now. When I lived on the farm we would cut a tree from our own woods. These days I'm fine with a fake tree rather than killing a live tree. And also have not bothered with any tree for several years. Some of the new fake trees look pretty amazing - but also expensive.
