Look, there are plenty of people who will try anything once — and sometimes, you'll never want to do that thing again afterward.
U/muffin-Utensil recently asked the people of Reddit, "What's something you don't think you'll ever do again in your life?" Some of these answers are basically the exact opposite of a "bucket list" — enjoy:
1."Lining up early in the day at a concert with General Admission tickets so I can get to the front row — then, never leaving that spot for the entire concert so I can hold my spot while the main act performs."
2."I did the Wild Cave Tour at Mammoth Cave, a six-hour caving adventure — and I’ll never do it again. I didn’t think I was claustrophobic, but crawling through spaces so narrow you have to lay flat on your stomach and shimmy your body with no room to even lift your head or turn around...some of the areas you crawl through are so tiny that they actually have height and chest circumference limits so people don't get stuck."

3."Feed my dog Puppuccinos at Starbucks. His farts in the car afterwards were death."
—u/ercelydom
4."Climb the Stairway to Heaven in Hawaii. I took the legal route; there were several escarpments and super narrow trails. One bad step and you can die up there."
5."Trust the electric company to 'trim' the oak trees in my front yard. They chopped down two mature trees and left the firewood in a giant pile in the driveway as a 'favor.'"

6."Ride a roller coaster. Y'all, take care of your back, because when it goes, your life choices are reduced."

7."Skydiving. It's the biggest rush, but once is enough."
8."Salvia. That shit is fucking wild. I went places on that drug. Then, whatever was dwelling in the space I traveled to kicked me the fuck out! You don't have to tell me twice..."
—u/TECrec008
9."Go to the mall with my friends and watch a movie at the theater."
—u/RGWsince16
10."Get married."
—u/Ngothadei
11."Give birth."
12."Go to a concert where I have to stand. I'm too old for that shit — please, just give me seats."
—u/Selvatice_
13."Smoking cigarettes."
—u/Efe_Vurucu
14."Tour Pripyat. My oncologist joked that it's probably how I 'caught' cancer."
15."Accept someone cheating on me. In the past I've chosen to keep the relationship going because of things like sunken cost fallacy, keeping the family intact, etc. But it's just not worth it."
16."Casually date someone who is already casually dating a friend. There are almost always more feelings involved than everyone is willing to admit, and at least one person is going to walk away hurt. If you’re new to the party, there’s a good chance it’s going to be you."
17."Eat a hot pepper to find out if 'it's really that hot.' I remember the burning in my mouth. Don't do it."
—u/gevotek350
18."College. Sad, but true. Just not worth the money or stress, all for the chance of getting a job that pays exactly the same."
—u/somecow
19."Live with a roommate."

And finally...
20."Say 'Yes' when my gut is telling me 'No.'"
