Stupid mistakes you’ve made

Status
Not open for further replies.
1. Listening to my former "I know everything about the economy" father in law who insisted my ex and I bought a house in 1989, rather than wait a few months because these prices are unsustainable (my reasoning). 6 months later the house was worth 20k (⅓ of its value) less and it took 10 years to regain its value.

2. Getting married into that family of tories.

3. After a lifetime running classic cars, breaking my rule and spending my pension lump sum on a 2 year old modern one. It's dropped ⅓ in value in just a year.

4. Ditching the family club Man U for Everton as a kid in 1980 FML.

I have made no other mistakes. My wife disagrees obviously.
 

What’s the most daft decision you e ever made ? I mean the things that seemed a good idea at the time but turned out horribly wrong ?

For many years now I’ve had an intolerance to most dairy products, if I mistakenly eat cheese, butter etc the results are horrendous and almost immediate. Anyhow, a few weeks ago I was at a McDonald’s drive through and had the sudden urge to try a strawberry milkshake. I knew there was a chance I’d suffer if I had a reaction but it was a steaming hot day and I needed something cold. Turns out though that I didn’t become ill after it so was a little victory.
Yesterday I was on a course near Shrewsbury and on the long drive home one of my colleagues suggested stopping at maccies for a milkshake …. I thought yeah, why not, I had one a few weeks ago and was fine.

Lads/Ladies…… from approximately 7pm last night I think most of my innards have vacated my body through every orifice known to man…. Sipping water to keep hydrated … and feel like I’ve been thoroughly destroyed by some alien infestation in my body..

F YOU MILKSHAKE YOU CREEPY SPITEFUL SNEAKY BARSTEWARD

Big mistake


Oh

And obviously all yer mar’s too
I've never regretted a decison or action that I've made (obviously you do to a point sometimes but dont dwell on it). You live and learn from them.

Only ever regret NOT doing something is what I say!
