It's impossible to live a life that's free of regret. Whether it's something evil you did or something that happened to you, living with regret is simply a part of living.
This knowledge doesn't make it much easier, though. What might make it a little bit easier is knowing that you're hardly alone. Everyone in this list has a little more regret than they did the day before.
This is a lame prize, no doubt. But assuming this kid goes to a public school, how on earth is that school going to be able to afford an awesome prize? These schools are more than a little bit underfunded.
This is classic passive-aggressive suburban warfare. Or maybe it's just aggressive-aggressive. It's nice to have help with weeding, but not like this.
It's one thing to have a kitchen utensil fall apart on you. It's quite another thing to have one fall apart while simultaneously dumping a bunch of rusty shards into the dish you're currently making.
OP is fairly generous here, saying they don't mind hearing about the word of God. Well, I personally do mind when people foist their beliefs on me without asking...especially when they trick me with a fake $50 bill beforehand.
There's good metal that can stand up to any kind of punishment, then there's cheap metal that will bend under the slightest pressure. Judging from this pic, I'm guessing the mixer was made of the bad metal.
It's a real shame that ancient artwork like this periodically gets defaced. You'd think people could be trusted to appreciate it without messing with it, but apparently not.
Here's why Scrabble kind of sucks: it may reward your good vocabulary, but it's enough of a game of chance that you're at the mercy of the tiles you draw. You may never be able to flex that vocabulary if you're drawing lousy tiles.
Did the driver of this truck just figure out an unethical life hack? Green cars have historically been seen as unlucky, but the benefits of parking in better spaces would seem to outweigh any bad luck the color may bring.
Some new homes embrace you like you've lived there your entire life. Other homes make it clear that you're not welcome. It's always awkward when that happens after you've dropped six figures buying the place.
In a sense, I almost admire how unapologetically brazen this neighbor is. He isn't even trying to hide what a creep he is.
This is the kind of thing that will either go unnoticed or will go very noticed. There's really no middle ground.
Some people get so caught up in making a tip that brings the bill to a nice round number that they don't consider how bad the tip actually is.
This is a bad break for sure. But if there's a silver lining, it's that the charging cable has improbably stayed connected. There's still a chance that this phone might be salvageable.
I can't even imagine the bureaucratic nightmare that getting this mistake fixed would entail. Construction crews aren't cheap, especially when you're calling them in to fix a mistake.
The fact that wireless earbuds are so compact is both a blessing and a curse. It's great that you can slip them into a pocket and forget about them. It's also not a good thing when you forget about them.
This is kind of the contractor's version of "fake it 'til you make it." They've done a job that looks perfectly legitimate from most angles. It's only when you get up close that things get ugly.
It's easy to call out the flight attendant for their lack of tact, but at the same time, when you're handing out dozens of coloring books a day it must be tough to avoid stuff like this.
I have no sympathy for this person. You reap what you sow, and this thing should never have been sown in the first place.
To be fair, it takes some squinting to figure out that this guy's fly is down. And you don't really want to be caught staring at someone's crotch in polite company.
On one hand, that's an ashtray being used for its intended purpose. On the other hand, if you're not a smoker, you don't want this at all.
