Working yourself to death. Work on seperating your work life and normal life. When I leave work, I don't check emails, text/call about work, nothing.

This should be the norm, and not considered a radical act. I do remember, before cell phones and constant connectivity, this actually *was* the norm.

Road Rage. Just not worth responding to anything while driving. Ignore them and stay away. Make no gestures and just ignore them.

Climbing Mount Everest. Too many people have done it and planted a cr*ppy flag up there that it looks like a beach coast covered in trash.

Having children. The money, time, effort, energy it requires for the rest of your life. No time for yourself and your own aspirations.

It's just not worth it. Plus, we could use some reduction in terms of world population.

Answering the door when someone unexpected rings the doorbell. It's always a salesman. I don't need solar, pest control, meat, a hard water treatment system, satellite TV, or any other damn thing they're selling, and I have no interest in dealing with them not taking No for an answer. Get off my lawn.

Japan went from being incredibly lax on their drink driving laws (people would often drive home absolutely hammered) to an almost absolute zero tolerance. Traffic accidents and deaths really improved after that.

Dating. While I could make this a whole rant and get all the "You're just dating the wrong type of people" comments... let's just make it easy.

There are enough people that are selfish, entitled, and deluded enough to where it isn't worth the trouble.

Answering a call not in your contacts.
Bridgebrain:
Ugh yes. And that you can't even trust the "legitimate" types of calls now. Scams dressed up as surveys, calls that just hang up because they're checking if you exist, even wrong numbers could be someone trying to record your voice to make an AI model to call family and pretend to be you.
I set my voicemail message to say that I screen all calls now due to spam, and it barely helps.

Just got rid of our Harley.
We loved to ride, but we don't live in a very large town, and I can count at least ten people who have been killed in bike vs car accidents this year. We had two people die in the same spot a week apart. I became convinced that if we got back on our bike something bad would happen. My wife told me to wait on getting rid of it because perhaps I was being paranoid and it would be best to think it over. Two weeks later we came up on an accident where a guy on a bike at a stop sign had been rear ended by a car. It had just happened, he was lying on the ground and appeared to be "ok". His bike was just like ours, only black while ours was white. After that, my wife gave me the go ahead to get rid of ours.
There are just too many distractions for drivers now a days for me to ever feel safe on a bike again. Hell, I have nearly pulled out in front of a bike myself. The problem is, if you are sitting in your car and you see a bike approaching, if you hold up your thumb, the person and the bike will disappear behind it. Now couple that with the phone, or the Bluetooth, or the radio, or whatever... It's no longer a matter of if someone will be in an accident on their bike, but a matter of when.
I live a VERY nice life, my wife and I enjoy everything we do, no sense in wasting any of it in a hospital bed if I can avoid it.

Bedbugs are a traumatizing nightmare. Someone brought them to my home and it messed up my mental health for a very long time. It took months of sleepless nights, 3 pesticide treatments, replacing furniture/bedding, constant vacuuming, garbage bags of all of my clothing outside on the patio and I eventually got rid of them. It was an awful and very expensive experience.

Back in 2010 when it was mostly eBay at its height, I used to sell a ton of electronics to buy the newest model (iPhone, game consoles, laptops). did a few sales on facebook around 2013. Nowadays there's way too many sites, scams, s****y buyers trying to talk you down on price, I don't ever feel like it's worth the hassle.

Having children while having anxiety/depression - there’s no community/village structure to raise them in, schools are failing in the US, cost of living just keeps increasing. The guidelines for raising kids and being a gentle parent have changed so much since I’ve grown - I don’t even know where to start. Everything is frowned upon - “a fed baby is a happy baby but don’t you dare use formula, red dye #40, only buy organic, is that processed?!”.

I’ve come to acknowledge if I want any chance at retirement, we have to be child free.

What? It is ALWAYS worth the risk to go out into nature. Use a bug-spray against ticks, put your socks over your trouser-legs and check yourself carefully for ticks and you'll be fine. And if you get bit, keep track of the bite-site and maybe go to a doctor and get a blood-test for Borellia-bacteria and take Antibiotics if you have it. Now, I understand the "go to a doctor" might be a bit tough on the US Americans, but then you can be extra-careful with the protection.

In the ol days most marriages weren't "solid"; they required the unpaid labour of the wife to work all hours to be the housekeeper/laundress/ chef/ personal assistant/ mother whole being unable to leave because she couldn't even open a bank account in her own name...
