45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again

ADVERTISEMENT

Studies suggest that people who engage in new experiences are more likely to be happy. This is because each time we take a leap of faith, we're training our brain to remember the positive rewards associated with it.

The adrenaline rush, the endorphins, the sense of pride—they're all stored in our memory banks.

But being open to the world also means you might run into something that's not entirely up your alley. So Reddit user Best-Palpitation-915 asked everyone on the platform to share what they tried once that they instantly knew wasn't for them. Here are the replies that received the most attention!

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Jogging. I’m in good shape, so it wasn’t solely for health reasons. My dog, who I used to go on long walks with, died mostly of old age. I wasn’t ready to get another dog, so I decided that jogging would be a great hobby. Feeling connected to the neighborhood was a priority for me as I found myself staying at home a lot with no dog to walk.

So I bought decent shoes, did a little research on methods and started jogging just a few blocks a day at first to get into the groove of my new hobby.

Omg I f*****g hated every second of it. There was nothing relaxing or enjoyable about it at all, and I got home every night feeling like I was foolishly making taking a walk punishing rather than fun. About 2 weeks in, I stumbled and fell, scraping my hands up a little. I walked home, put my new shoes in a closet and never jogged again.

I adopted a new dog about a week later.

The only time I ever had good performance was when I got a lucky streak and the customers came in wanting something already.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again I was shocked at how much I hate weighted blankets. People say so many good things about them! I put it over me, boom, instant claustrophobia. I don't even have claustrophobia. Except with weighted blankets.

My wife has horrible insomnia so i bought a 33lb (15kg) blanket for her birthday last year. First time she tried to sleep with it she had the same claustrophobic reaction and it got stuck in a closet for 3 or 4 months, but once she pulled it out again, she fell in love with it. Like even when in the unbearable heat of summer she still hauls that thing over herself because it actually helps her sleep.

They are good for people who have sensory needs, like some people with Autism or ADHD. They are a whole blanket made of pockets filled with weights, often rice or wheat like heat packs. I personally wouldn't like it, though I get a decent amount of weight from the amount of blankets and doonas/duvet I have on my bed almost year round.

I liked the weighted feeling but couldn't keep the damn blanket on the bed. The weights make it act like a siphon and once the edge starts to go over, it's a race to the floor.

This is really annoying. And when it drops out of the bed it's so damn heavy to drag back up. But it has helped me sleep.

I have a very petite friend (4'10, barely 100 pounds) who bought one for her anxiety. She said she felt trapped in her bed, and it made her anxiety worse because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up quickly in an emergency.

When I was little we had brutal winters. -28 was perfectly normal. We had wool-filled duvets as a norm. I hated the damn thing. Couldn't move an inch under them. But it kept people alive at a time when central heating wasn't a thing and not everyone had access to firewood. You couldn't pay me to use them today. I'm quite claustrophobic and the weight of the damn thing feels like I'm being held down by someone.

My mum's house gets quite cold (but not that cold!) and there have been a few times I have slept there with piles of woollen blankets which were uncomfortable to be under. I have multiple blankets and two doonas on my bed most of the time but they are nowhere near as heavy.

I was wondering what the big deal was with them. Was going to take 1 of the boxes off the shelf at WalMart to read it. I almost dropped the damn thing it was so heavy. NOPE not for me. I don't know if I would have been able to pull it out of the washer with the extra weight of water in it. Also wondering how loud the darn thing would be in the dryer.

Oooh this is me! I have sleeping issues. I fall asleep just fine but wake up for a few hours each night. Sometimes it is worse and for up to a month or so, I only get 2-4 hours sleep combined. On a rare occasion I actually have a good night's sleep but I'm still incredibly exhausted during the day. Well, weighted blankets was suggested and I was able to test one for a month. Nope. I either froze so much (with just the weighted blanket on) that I had no control of my jaw or I put on my own douvet as well and within one minute I felt so sick and nauseaus I just wanted to vomit. They say it sounds like it was too heavy for me but it was a blanket for normal-weighing ppl whereas I am obese, so in fact it was too light for me. I will never ever try weighted blankets again! I wanted it to work, SO MUCH! It just didn't.

Teaching middle school. I taught high school for 19 years, moved states and had to take a middle school position for a year.

I instantly realized it was not for me. I thought, "they're just a few grades lower, how different can they be?"

Completely opposite, exactly. I dragged myself into that school so exhausted and irritable every day. I quickly realized that one middle schooler with bad behavior = 5 high schoolers with bad behavior. My humor went right over their heads. The misbehavior itself was a type of misbehavior I'm not used to. Also, high schoolers sleep. Middle schoolers scream. High schoolers will sometimes be apathetic. Middle schoolers throw things. High schoolers are developing the capacity to think before they speak. Middle schoolers shout whatever comes to mind. High schoolers bully each other online. Middle schoolers bully each other in person in front of a teacher's face.

I have never gotten so many rude comments as I did when I taught middle school.

45 ‘Anti-Bucket List’ Things People Swear They Will Never Do Again Women.

All my life I thought to be bisexual or pansexual. But I am not. I'm straight as f**k and don't know how to change the pansexual flag from my account lol.

I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

These were fun. Some you can identify with, others are absolutely hilarious. ETA: the "salted @sshole" will stay with me for some time!

Wearing high-heel shoes. I got a pair through Freecycle, and since they were glitzy I wore them to a New Year's party. In barely an hour, my legs were sore AF. I switched to some flats and gave the heels away.

Extroversion. As an experiment I tried it for one college semester. It was extremely enlightening and extremely exhausting.

Streaming music. I mean, I do it - I have a Spotify account, I'm not a caveman - but I grew up with records and tapes. I love holding them, I love taking them out of the package and putting them on. Sure I use Spotify but it's generally to hear a bit of something that someone has recommended. If I like it, I buy the record/tape/CD. I do slightly despair at kids flicking through the first five seconds of a song, deciding they don't like it and moving on. You can't really do that with a record. And yes, I know not all kids, but a substantial number. Fortunately, my daughter - who has just turned 13 - is beginning to appreciate owning the physical object, rather than just streaming.

Ziplines. I was terrified the entire time, even before we signed up for the "adventure." I'm glad that I actually faced my fears & did it anyway, and equally glad that I never ever EVER have to do it again.

Sturgis, the huge bike rally. I don’t regret the experience but never again. Two days of riding there and back was exhausting. Zero shade whatsoever where we camped and it was hot. Huge queues of bikes to get everywhere; riding at really slow speed while balancing the clutch because of constant stop starts is not enjoyable. The price of everything doubled. So, so many drunken a$$holes getting into fights, copping a feel, throwing up… and TBH bands I had long looked forward to hearing live weren’t that good.
