I once said to my past GF that we didnt seem to love each other anymore, and that we were just doing it for the hell of it, and she didnt take too kindly to it. We broke up 3 days later, and i really regretted it. How about you all, what have you said that you wished that you hadnt?
 
Yea i was wicked mean to this girl at school. I think she likes me but last friday I was being so mean to her. Like i dont know why i was in a bad mood.
 
Told my dad he treats me like a little kid and slammed a door in his face which resulted in him chasin me down, slammin me into a wall and yellin at me with plenty of spit and breakin my door when I shut it.
 
"Dave Grohl would be the only perosn in the world I'd be gay with."

I said that whilst I was bored in a 3-way convo with Ashley and my now ex-girlfriend :lol:

Note: I was joking I wouldn't really be gay with Mr.Grohl. :lol:
 
If I had a nickel for everything that I wished I hadn't said or done, I'd... well, I'd have a lot of nickels.

I keep waiting for the day I'll stop sticking my foot in my mouth. It happens less often the older that I get... but it still happens.
 
Oh yeah, I've said things I've regretted after, nothing I can think of specifically that I'd share here though.
 
"I reckon I can jump that..."

"I reckon if I go a bit faster next time, I'll make it..."

A twisted ankle, multiple grazes and a broken bike later, we all realised that it couldn't be done.

:dunce:
 
A few months back I posted a thread about 2 of my friends passing away. They had just pulled out of of driveway and driven no more than 200 yards before crashing their car. I told them to get out of my house. I regret telling them that.

Ha I remember that somehow showed up in the convo thread... I was like WTF?:scared:
 
Many, many things.

As you grow older in life, you will learn to think your actions and comments through before opening your mouth. Often times you'll have to learn this the hard way. I have.

How about "well, we could create a convo forum"

That pretty much says it all. When i recall two things i said to two people (admittedly years ago), it makes me want to crawl out my skin and find a rock to live under.
 
Oh yeah... two I can remember that I'd like to shoot myself for. The could probably good Southwest airline commericals too. :dopey: I use them for flying too. :dopey:

Anyway they are...

There was this trip I was taking with a friend and his family (mother and father) to RENO for his b-day. On the drive over there (which was long and boring) a tape had ended and so they put in another tape and I said... "oh great not another diet tape". I totally didn't mean it the way it sounded though because I was just sick of hearing voices.. I wanted music! The dad didn't like music at all and I think my batts. died during that time. :guilty: BTW, she was honestly not fat... it was more in her head I think. Her personality was a lot like "Kathy" the comics if you guys remember that?

The other one is...

I was going on a field trip with classmates to a show in SF and we came across traffic that was stopped. I don't remember how we got on the conver sation of it but I had remembered hearing how someone that committed suicide had stopped traffic during rush hour. I blurted out in frustration... "geez... if your gonna kill yourself don't make others suffer with you." something to that affect. Then my classmate let me know his father committed suicide.

I loved myself sooo much during those times... Not.

The first one I was really young like middle school or something so I sorta apologized as much as I could but the second one I felt so bad that I strait up called the guy the next day and said how careless I was and sorry.

The lesson is folks... think before you speak. :dopey:
 
I dunno... I never had to deal with that part. I don't see my classmate because I'm not in the major anymore and he was a senior just about to leave. He seemed to not be bother by it. My friends mom, I just never see but there's stuff that they had to put up with me when I was a kid that I'm sure bothered them. They've always known I was a nice guy though.

I'm like their second son and my friend is like my second brother since we have been best friends since pre-school.
 
Well i have said something pretty stupid (although its not that bad) and i have yet to suffer the concequenses (spelling?)

A while ago i decided to follow my dream and become a pilot for the RAF - now this seems like a pretty cool job, Flying aeroplanes at incredible speeds, and drinking beer with the lads.

Well a good friend who happens to be a regiment gunner for the RAF told me about the training which every member of flight crew have to undertake.

You are taken somewhere where there is a big space and woodlands and sparsely uninhabited, probably the lake district or something and you are given the rashions you would have if you were shot down. you are then hunted by a group of RAF Regiment Gunners. (hence how my friend knows about it)

You have to evade capture for a week without any support but if you are captured you have to be interrogated. If you survive the week without capture........you still face interrogation

Now i was thinking to myself, its not going to be to bad there not going to hurt me or anything...............Well apparently i was wrong about that too. You are blindfolded and taken to a place known as the "monkey house" where you are put in stress positions, made to listen to white noise and generally beat the crap out of you. All when you have had little sleep, minimal food and not a gread deal of water.

Sounds like fun huh?

Well imagine how i feel, why the hell did i say yes to this and why did i sign those damm papers!
 
Well, back in teh spring and summer we had a woman working for us who's quality went downhill and I went to my manager and complained about it. My exact words to him were, "Dude, you have to do something about this ****. Her quality has gotten horrible and she is just not seeing things that she should. It's like she is blind or something."

This past August she took medical leave to have brain surgery to remove a tumor that was putting pressure on her optic nerve, causing her to have spots in her vision. I felt horrible, which was only compounded when she came back with an eye patch because they had to pull her eye out to get access.

Chirst! I was going to post something stupid I said from elementary school, but that seems pretty silly now. That's hardcore. I've never stepped in it that hard before (though I have had my moments).

What I've found about times when you say the wrong thing, is that they haunt you. They'll pop into your head when you're trying to sleep and you start feeling really really bad about it. I mean, I've had stuff from grade school pop into my head. I've had stuff from work, stuff from college, from relationships, all kinds of things I regretted saying have crept in there. I hate it, it's like your brain's way of kicking you when you're down.

Here are a few of my moments:

"I don't want you to go to that concert. You could get hurt."
That line precipitated a breakup in 9th grade. It was a stupid thing to say, even though the relationship was destined for destruction.

"Ok, I'll go out with you"
Sixth grade. That was me agreeing to date a girl that I really really shouldn't have agreed to date. I just didn't want to say no - it led to a lot more hurt feelings.

"..."
That was me not asking a girl out that I really should have my freshman year in college.

"If you don't feel you can give me a good recommendation let me know, I don't want this to be a black mark on my record."
Stupid thing to say to someone you respect who you're looking for a good recommendation from. I really needed to have more confidence.

Also there's a fair number of technical goofs I really wish I could take back at work.

Oh, and there was the time I told my friend:

"Yea, your school is a good school. Though it isn't as good as this other one."
Doh! Best to not claim that someone isn't getting the best education...

I can do this all day.

Edit: Oh yea! I blew it once while giving a toast... that was excellent!! There I was, in front of everyone I cared about, standing there with my glass held high - but not having thought out what I was going to say beforehand. OOPS!!! A little tip for everyone, think about what you're going to say before you give a toast. I'm not going to repeat what I said here.
 
One of my friends bought a kia (when kia could still be thought of crudmudgeonly overall). She asked me what I thought and I laughed, and she hated me for a bit. Still feel bad every time either she or I drive the other one someplace and she doesn't make it easy. "ooh whats that rattling, your car must be falling apart"

Doh!

And the numerous missed opportunities with gals. Oh well.

My only consolation is that she never heard it and she is fine today, including full use of her eyes again. At least I didn't come up with the idea of pirate day in order to make her feel better. :dunce: That was the shift coordinator.

I think everyone has been there and done that. I kept saying what if until I met my wife.

Did it go something like, "We all think it's a mistake but we love you anyway?" My best friends wedding rehearsal dinner and one of our friends thinks that he is being funny, but says it so dead pan that no one got the joke and after he tried stammering on to cover it up it just got worse until the groom and myself were saying, "Just sit down."

Wow, how many ways can that situation go badly? Pirate day? WTH? I'll bet it was a dissaster.

I've been married for a while now, but I still regret having not asked that girl out. There is no chance it would have worked out, but given the situation at the time it was stupid of me not to go for it. If there were a chance that it would have worked out, I'd be glad I didn't go for it.

Ouch, that's pretty bad. No it wasn't quite like that. It wasn't a joke that flopped, it was a non-joke that came out hilarious.
 
We still give a friend of mine a hardtime about something he said.

Three of us were sitting at a mates house having a drink and a chat, and there's a knock on the door. We open the door and there stands the friend in question. He says:

"I thought I'd come see you guys because all my other mates were busy."

:lol:

He assures us he didn't mean it the way it came out, but three years on we always remind him about it - I bet he regrets saying that!

I do that all the time without thinking but my friends are all used to it and they think I'm doing it to be funny.

Phone conversation:

"Hey! I asked Friend#1, Friend#2, Friend#3, Friend#4 and Friend#5 if they wanted to come over but they're all busy, fancy hanging out for a bit?"

I know for a fact I've done that to Evan (ExigeExcel) a few times.
 
I regret all of the crap i did to other students while back in highschool...I was with a crowd that had no tolerences for anyone and anything different...we teased, bullied and generaly mistreated alot of people and that is something I find myself regretting quite often.
 
"Let's get the Toshiba!"

There's loads, but all i can think of is that, when we were buying a new PC.
