Some things can be learned without having to go through a traumatic experience; after all, common sense can go a long way. But there are certain life lessons that we can only understand if we go through them ourselves.

People in this popular Reddit thread realized this by accident. Their unfortunate “messed around and found out” stories range from learning that ducks can bite to discovering that poison ivy is actually poisonous. If you’re curious to know more about how this went down, scroll down below.

We also reached out to AyrionUpaka, who started this discussion in the first place.

You can find our interview with them below!

When i was a kid I was short and fat and I got picked on mercilessly. Then one summer I went and worked in the Alaska Bush and grew to 6'3" and got pretty ripped. I also got taught some very basic moves from some of the surveyors I was working with. Came back to high school and got into it with every person who bullied me. I won and learned all the wrong lessons.

New kid started at my school and I was the a*****e this time. He was always polite, walked away, and generally asked me to stop but I didn't. Finally he told me that he'd meet me on a Saturday and we could have it out. We showed up, he asked one more time for me to just stop. That's the point that I should have realized I'd done f****d up.

I went after him and he took me apart. It was the proverbial "He hit me with so many rights I was desperate for a left." But when he had me down he stopped, helped me sit up, and then sat down to talk to me. He gave me advice on how I was acting, how i was just doing the same thing that had been done to me, and that I'd never be happy if I went down that path. Then he helped me clean up and sent me home.

That conversation made such an impact on me it 100% changed me overnight and I owe it to him. I absolutely f****d around and found out, but in the best way possible.

    I was a teenager working retail with a guy named Stephen and I always just called him Steve. He pulled me aside one day and asked me politely if I could call him Stephen since he preferred that. My smart a*s replied “Well I want to be called Gladiator but you don’t see me complaining.” He just said “deal” and walked away.

    For the next two years he only referred to me as Gladiator. Need help finding something? Gladiator here would be happy to help you. He would get on the intercom and be like “Gladiator to the front desk…Gladiator, front desk.”

    Learned not to be a smart a*s and never called him Steve again.

    30 People Who Messed Around And Found Out I was late for work and starving. The chicken I pulled from the fridge for a quick dinner smelled a little weird. But it was organic and I had roasted it myself, so it must be fine.

    So very f*****g wrong. 18 hours of pure hell. I would have gone to the hospital but I literally couldn’t get off my bathroom floor. Fainted twice and ended up with a black eye from hitting my head on the toilet.

    When in doubt, throw it out.

    If they were to answer this question themselves, they would go back in time to when they were just six years old.

    "The playground teachers always warned us not to venture behind the outbuilding towards the back of the playground since it was dangerous back there.

    One day, I heard a bunch of kids playing behind the building, and curiosity got the better of me, so I went to join them. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and found the "danger" when I accidentally stepped on a board with an upturned, rusty nail in it. The nail slid straight into my heel.

    Almost immediately after, a teacher found us all, scolded us, and told us to come out. Another unfortunate part of the story is that they wrongly believed I was crying because I'd been caught breaking the rules, so they didn't think to ask me if anything else was wrong. As a 6-year-old, I was shy and not very articulate, so it took them a fair while to figure out that I was actually injured. My mom was called, and I got to take the rest of the day off school, so it's not an entirely unhappy ending."

    I tried to break up a dog fight. Was holding my dog, on leash, when an unleashed dog ran in and began attacking him.

    I went for the dog's scruff to try to pin him to the ground (while also trying to hold my dog back with the other hand). The attacking dog bit my hand three times quickly, the third time he punctured my thumb bones and got a real good grip. Proceeded to try to rip my thumb off. All I remember thinking is, "That's my primary hand, even if I let go of Fitzy (my dog) with the other hand, you are NOT going to be able to pry this thing's mouth open."

    This was all of course happening in the span of 5-10 seconds. Out of nowhere my then girlfriend swooped in like f*****g Batman from behind the dog, sunk her fingers into its' scruff, and her knee into the back of its' neck, ripping it off me. Anyway I ended up proposing to her after that and the settlement paid for a big chunk of our wedding. In retrospect I'm damn glad this thing went after me, it was a 4th of July party and there were little kids everywhere.

    What makes me angriest about this whole thing is the way it impacted my dog. He was very social and friendly with other animals before this, but it has been ten years and he won't give any other pup a chance now. He has lived a life lacking what he deserves due to those poor dog owners.

    Jesus Christ. This story sent shivers down my spine. See this is the reason I don't have pets. I love cats, I love dogs even more. But you're responsible for your animal, you have to feed them, bring them to the vet, train them clean up after them, provide a safe home with enough enrichment, if you travel you have to make arrangements, it all sounds like a lot of work. It's all the owner's reslonsibility and some people just shouldn't have pets because they aren't responsible enough.

    For them, life lessons learned the hard way seem to stay in memory longer. "I always believe positive reinforcement is the way to go when teaching lessons, but lessons learned the hard way do tend to stick out for me personally. I'm 34 now and remember being 6 years old behind that school building like it was yesterday, but I'd find it more difficult to conjure on the fly a memory of a lesson learned via positive enforcement."

    They signed off by saying, "I appreciate all the stories that were shared on the post and found it super interesting reading through all of them. My favorite was the user who was warned by their dad that ducks have teeth and can bite.

    It reminded me of my own story that I shared above since both come from childhood misadventures. One of the ones I felt worse for was the guy who warned his opponent in a fight and was an expert in kickboxing. Poor guy. I think the responses on the post all showed a clear message that it is for sure best not to mess around and find out."

    For my 40th birthday a friend of mine, who is about ten years older than me got me a really nice 12 year old scotch.

    Up to that point I had never tried any type of whiskey, or bourbon. Only was drinking vodka, gin, margarita's, and rum. Would only drink one or two saturday's a month, it was no big deal.

    I fell in LOVE with the taste, the look and feel of having a glass of scotch or bourbon every night, like the classy dudes in those old movies I grew up watching, so much so, that I ended up drinking some everyday and developed a drinking problem.

    I Have spent the last two working hard on getting completely off alcohol.

    I can now say, as I approach my 50th birthday, I am off alcohol all together.

    "Drinking some every day" is not the same as having a drinking problem. _Needing_ some every day, certainly, but there's quite a distance between the two.

    It was a hot sweltering day and I wanted to get my bike fixed. Played outside all day as kids do and didn't hydrate enough. Walked to the bike shop in the late afternoon, got my bike fixed and felt faint walking back but thought I'd be okay after drinking water.


    Came home, drank some milk then some water. Immediately puked everything and then some more. Everything I'd eaten since the morning(not much) was in the commode. Stomach hurt and my face went pale. Went and lay down, puked in a few minutes again but only bile came out. Puked bile every few minute for the next hour until my father came home and saw me weak and pale. Went to the doctor and he said I'd been severely dehydrated barely away from hospitalization. Put me fluids for some time. If my dad hadn't come home when he did I don't know what would have happened. 


    Drink water folks.

    A lot of people can shrug off a little bit of an allergen, but there's a certain line they can't cross. I don't react strongly to poison ivy myself, and if I just brush against it and be sure to wash carefully and thoroughly after I'm okay, but if I deliberately rubbed it into my skin I would have a very bad time.

    I was feeling really run down and would get short of breath easily. I had an appointment with my family physician for a well check so this went on for about 2 weeks. When I finally saw him he had me go get x-rays and blood drawn. Come to find out my potassium was dangerously low and my lungs have fluid in them as did the sack around the heart. I was admitted, then had emergency surgery to have a chest tube put in. Spent 8 days in the hospital with 4 days in the ICU. Remember much of those days.

    Did he wake up to find the bed empty and his TV missing or did he end up having to call everyone he had been with?

    I used to give hitchhikers rides, back in the 80s. I haven't done it since, but I did pull over at a bus stop to give someone a ride during a cold-snap last month. It was -10F (-23C) at the time.

    "That there is always someone tougher than you". My Father, a verified tough guy, told me this. He explained that the more you fight the larger looms the chance that you'll come up against someone that will absolutely pulverize you.

    30 People Who Messed Around And Found Out Kept pushing back for my wisdom teeth removal (not putting money aside for it) and lo and behold, the pain went from 0 to 100 quickly and I finally took them out. Thankfully the rest of my teeth are fine and happy :)

    That forcing yourself to change your entire personality, p**s off a bunch of people constantly to become one of the "popular bitches" actually doesn't f*****g matter once you graduate high school. That confidence is destroyed after the validation disappears and you'll have no friend to really be there for you in the big world. One of my biggest regrets was relying on this.

    I did something similar in Year 6. Was "friends" with those kids, bullied and mocked a lot of people, rejected my best friends, etc. Then at Camp they showed their true faces. No mercy on me, even at night. I have trust issues due to my supposed best friend taking their side after seeing how shittily they treated me. The only positive thing is that I was able to get a diagnosis for autism and i understand myself so much more now. If Zahrah, Elyce, Alexa, Halle or Narjes sees this, f**k you all and I also hope you have a s****y life, especially Narjes, who I heard has a thieving addiction.

    When I was little, I was always intrigued by the electrical sockets on the front of my aunt's cooking stove. One day, she noticed my interest and warned me against doing what she knew I wanted to do. Later that day, I found out why. I then had to sit and cry quietly.

    When I was four, I got my dad’s keys and was about to put them in the wall socket. He took them away. I found them. He took them away again and I found them again…. Yeah, I put two keys in each socket and found out the hard way why that was dumb.

    When I was like 18/19 my friend and I were riding around town and went to this spot you could park on the beach. Well the car got stuck in the sand. A homeless man was nice enough to come help dig us out of the sand and get the car out. He asked us for a ride across town which we were happy to give. He noticed some bowls in the car and said he could get us weed. We were out and could t find any so I gave him all my birthday money. We dropped him off at the complex in the middle of the hood and he never came back. I’ve waited an uncomfortable amount of time outside that complex lol.

    A few years ago my family stayed at a house on Crystal Beach (on the Texas coast, near Galveston). We didn't know it was the infamous top-down weekend, when thousands of drunk people drive up and down the beach on Friday and Saturday. The tide was low on Saturday evening, and when we woke up and looked out the window we could see several vehicles out in the water (it was no longer low tide).

    I was clearing Customs and Immigration while feeling unusually friendly. The customs officer asked what I did for a living; After I told him, I asked what he did for a living.

    His Answer: "I am a United States Customs official and I can keep you here for a very long time".

    Was acting like a d**k to my little brother, who was already having a pretty bad day. He’s not one known for physical violence.

    Turns out, that day, he decided to make an exception on me. My jaw was pretty sore for a day or two.

    If you push someone too hard, even the most mild mannered peace-loving person is going to reach their limit and lash out at you—-and make you regret every second you treated them badly.

    I wrote my own leasing contract to rent out my condo. After my renters arrived, someone from the HOA pointed out I didn’t do a background check (on two 80 year old sisters) and so the HOA banned me from renting my condo out for 2 years

    As a non American, the whole idea of a HOA is creepy as hell especially if you know they started as ways to keep POC from moving into the suburbs...

    When 18 I was vacationing in Mexico and me and my family went to this horse riding attraction. Next to the horse handler sat this cute little weasel who happened to be missing one of his paws. I foolishly assumed he was some exotic pet that belonged to the handler given how close he was and I figured he wouldn’t have been able to survive his injuries. I reached down with intention to pet its head and scratch his ear the way I used to do so with my sisters pet ferret and it chomped deep into my finger I was lucky I didn’t get any disease from it. The horse handler didn’t know a lot of English but from the look on his face he probably thought I was one of the biggest pendejo’s he’s ever seen. It was so

    Cheating on a partner is scummy and I was raised to be better than that.

    EDIT : I was 19 at the time. Not married, no kids. I still should have been better, but no lives were ruined.

    A fascinating thing about our species is that we don’t always seek out the best, healthiest, logical, most appropriate forms of validation. Especially when we’re younger.
