12+ People Who Have Some Regrets

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of regret. Everyone has experienced feelings of, “I wish I could go back in time and change that” a fair few times in their life, and yet we keep doing stupid things!

From having your face used to advertise sex offenders, to dropping your toothbrush somewhere that you definitely don’t want to drop a toothbrush, here are 12+ people who wish they could take it all back!

“My friend is an extra in movies and does stock photography. Just saw him pictured as a sex offender on a bus in Florida.”

This guy really needs to look into the laws surrounding the use of his face! This sort of thing will probably really impact upon how many roles he gets… Unless they’re for roles as sex offenders.

“Pole dancing at the street.”

Urban pole dancing is not for the faint-hearted, but I guess you get marks for effort here at least?

“Lamborghini Huracan flooded due to rain in São Paulo. It was not insured.”

How do you not get insurance on this kind of car? Although, I guess if you’re rich enough to buy one of these in the first place, you’re probably rich enough to just buy another one.

“My brand new Roomba ran over my puppy’s sh*t and proceeded to ‘clean’ the rest of my home.”

Looks like you’re going to have to get rid of either the Roomba or the puppy as they cannot play nice together!

“A portion of a building didn’t come down during a scheduled demolition this morning. I give you the new leaning tower of Dallas.”

Anyone who is lucky enough to be able to play with explosives for their job should never be in a situation where they look back on a job and think, “Should have used more explosives there.” Always use the maximum amount!

“Need to keep the light on when I get ready for work…”

This guy also kind of brought it on himself by buying two pairs of shoes which are pretty much identical except for the colour. Get some variety in your life my man!

“Went to Panda Express with my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day.”

Bet this person wished that they had gone to literally any place that didn’t have fortune cookies after opening this!

“It was a great day till this moment.”

This radiates strong Wile. E. Coyote energy. I can imagine the skier who left this popping his head out of this imprint and holding up a wooden sign that says “Help!”

“Car parked outside chemical plant that had a fire.”

This is actually incredible! It looks like a rejected character model for The Thing !

“One of my motorcycles got stolen a couple years ago, I just found it in the forest after the fire came through.”

Most people aren’t lucky enough to get their stuff back that has been stolen! This person should be thankful for getting their bike back…even if it has been completely destroyed.

“Forgetting about your pizza for 8 hours. Burnt so bad it looks like a double-chocolate brownie.”

I mean, I know that it is probably incredibly carcinogenic, but good God, I really want to snap a bit off and try it!

“Regretting your beard trimming decision.”

Shaving off your beard is a big decision! Everyone’s jawline is much better in their memory than in reality.

“Feeling like Kevin from the office right now.”

I love the cat looking down at the scene as though they’re saying, “Oh wow, Dave, you really messed up here!”

“Was looking forward to having some nice bread from a local bakery.”

This is one of those moments where you wish that you’d just bought a bog-standard loaf of Wonder Bread from the store. You can’t go wrong with Wonder Bread.

“My money!”

Oh, I remember the first time I discovered taxes. It is a sobering moment that makes you wish you could be a freeloading child forever!

“My cactus fell. Luckily, I caught it.”

You caught it with the outside of your hand? You really need to work on your catching.

“Was confused when it didn’t sound like it hit the floor.”

I know that electric toothbrushes have replaceable heads, but I still think I’d have to throw it completely away.

“Guys, please stop praying for rain in Australia, it’s now sideways raining and I have a 45 minute walk home.”

They’re really not having much luck on the weather front in Australia at the moment, are they? Hopefully, this person had an umbrella with them!

“I don’t know what to believe.”

I just wanted some popsicles, man, not to be presented with a legal paradox.

“Oh deer.”

Not only is he stuck, he’s stuck stuck. Head, legs, he’s locked in. Don’t worry though, someone did come help. Apparently this happens a lot with this fence!

“Congrats to the Ass of 2020!”

So y’all tied balloons to a car…that was going to be moving…and didn’t think the balloons would move too?

“Labor not included.”

You know they broke this and were really trying to make the best out of the situation. Maybe someone out there would buy shattered glass? I don’t know for what but…maybe!

“We made s’mores with leftover Easter candy.”

You can see the pain in this bunny’s eyes. He always knew he was made to be consumed, but not like this…

“I was arrested at a protest Wednesday. The trooper asked me what was in my pockets. He didn’t believe me.”

If you can’t read it (I couldn’t for a bit), it says “Monopoly get out of jail card.” Really, you should have one in your wallet at all times, you never know what’ll happen.

“Neighbor says your dog is scary and needs a muzzle? Not a problem.”

I’m really into the idea of, instead of trying to show them your dog is actually sweet, just leaning into it. They’ll start to realize you’re not one to mess with.

“This is the principal at my kids school…dressed as a trex…while being a crossing guard…I can’t imagine the bet he lost over the weekend for this to happen.”

What he might have lost in dignity he certainly gained in student love. They probably went nuts for this.

Your kingdom of lies.

Not sure which is more frightening, how angry this cat is, or how, judging by her anger, this means she read and understood the sign.

“A sign I wish I didn’t have to make.”

I don’t want to know the series of events that lead to this having to happen, but I know whoever tried it had a sticky situation on their hands soon after.

“My office held an Easter Egg decorating contest. I’m not artistically inclined.”

There’s something about “medium: egg” that had me laughing at this for way longer than I should have. Truly breaking ground in the art world.

“Saw this at my local thrift shop.”

You know someone thought of this like, “Oh how about we redraw the covers of some of the movies! That would be cute!” Then…this happened and they never tried again.

“Was cleaning my mom’s bathroom and realized that this jar that’s been sitting there for 15 years is not filled with sea shells. It’s filled with pasta shells.”

I have to know if this was intentional or not. Did she mean this earnestly to be filled with pasta shells, or was she hoping people would think they were seashells? If the latter, I guess it worked.

“My home-office coworkers are so disrespectful.”

Jeez, some coworkers just have no understanding of or respect for boundaries. This is an HR complaint for sure.

“Their flight left 2hrs ago.”

I can actually hear the person who left this behind saying to themselves, “I’ll just leave this on here in the open, as there’s no way I’d leave that behind in such an obvious place!”

Do Not Walk On Rocks.

Not only is it a warning, it’s a prediction of the future. Well, less of a prediction and more of a direct telling. This must’ve happened before.

“I was the one in charge of unlocking the building today. This will be a fun conversation…”

I can’t work out if this is the perfect defense system against burglars or the worst defense system?
