Updated September 8, 2021

Sometimes, we try very hard to leave our mistakes in the past, but some blunders are just too big to ignore.

Here's a compilation of a few regrets that surely wake someone up in the middle of the night to wonder where it all went wrong. There's a good chance they'll stick with you, too.

1. The one and only time that Comic Sans would have been the appropriate choice for a font.

Who could have possibly looked at this design and been like, "Yep, this dripping lettering is definitely the vibe that I'm going for as a children's entertainer"?

2. You wait, and you wait, and you wait for the right moment, but sometimes, it ends up passing you by anyway.

3. Honestly, by the looks of things, this woman seems like the kind of person who would realize what she did, laugh about it, and not change a damned thing.
