Experiencing something for the first time can be quite the thrill. Whether it’s trying a new food , or doing some kind of extreme sport, or anything in between.
But what happens if you never want to do it again? Well, when one person on Reddit asked that very question , a bunch of people answered. And they had some pretty interesting responses.

“Skydiving.” – account_disabled
“It was a thrill, no bad experiences or anything, just expensive and something I don’t need to do again.”
You know what? I think that’s fair. It was cool, don’t need to do it again. Pretty good thinking.
“Taken a 20 hour road trip with 5 other people. To Disney World.” – a-most-peculiar-girl
“I now refuse to do group trips, I’m much better off just traveling with my partner OR 1-2 friends.”
Try doing it in the middle of summer with a broken AC unit.
“Pepper spray, did it once on a dare.” – zerbey
“I can say with 100% conviction that it works exactly as intended.”
I… don’t see why you’d want to do that, but I’m glad this person wouldn’t spray themselves with pepper spray a second time. That means it works!
“Spelunking.” – CategoryTurbulent114
“We were crawling in a cave that you couldn’t stop forward progress or turn around once you started. I survived, but I’ll never do it again.”
You know those shows where they go into underwater caves and pass through tight little passages? A literal nightmare.
“Times Square New Years Eve. Glad I did it – never again.” – Camphor
It seems kind of overrated, to be honest. There’s nothing you see in person that you can’t also see on a New Year’s Eve special on TV.
“Paragliding.” – altguystory
“Realised I have a fear of heights after we took off. Was so relieved when we finally landed.”
Yeah, that doesn’t sound too fun. I guess there’s no more scenic way to figure out that you’re afraid of heights, though.
“Donate a kidney.” – justshtmypnts
I mean, that’s… accurate. You literally can’t donate a kidney more than once. Well, not when you’re alive, at least. But any person who does it once can rest easy knowing they’ve done something really good.
“Getting married.” – robotmonkeyshark
“I don’t regret getting married, but if my wife were to pass away or our marriage otherwise ended, I doubt I would go through the dating and getting to know them and getting married and such again. I’m too old for that, and I’m not even that old.”
“Work in retail and hospitality.” – Slifer967
Retail honestly sucks, and the people who do it as a career are probably some of the strongest people around. There are few jobs where you get treated as badly as a retail worker.
“Hiked halfway down the Grand Canyon.” – Fearless_Lab
“My legs and knees were SHOT for days, and I could barely move from muscle soreness. That said, it was amazing. Did you know there are seashells embedded in the rock walls? Crazy.”
“Breaking someone’s heart.” – number676766
“More specifically, staying in a relationship after you’ve had a little tug at your heart for a while about it not being right, but trying again and again to convince yourself that the relationship isn’t the reason.”
“I was never stringing them along consciously, but I was struggling to be honest with myself and the implications.”
“I never want to do that to someone I love ever again. The pain in their eyes when they knew it was over is something I’ll never forget.”
That’s… so sad.
“Multi day camping music festival in a tent.” – foxysierra
“I get why people love them but I learned I was a little prissier than I thought bc the Port-a-Poty situation was one of the worst experiences of my life.”
That sounds awful, not gonna lie.
“Go shopping on Black Friday.”- Some_Random_Android
I don’t know what’s worse, shopping on Black Friday, or working retail on Black Friday. Either way, you’re dealing with a bunch of really rude people who will do anything for a halfway decent sale.
“Drank out of an old milk carton to see if it was spoiled. It was.” – nuF-roF-redruM
There are plenty of ways to figure out if your milk is spoiled. Like sniffing the carton. Or pouring a bit out to see if it’s semi-solid.
“Shot a moose with a BB gun from a tree fort we built in the woods.” – Haist
“Thing was huffing and puffing mad and trapped us up there for hours.”
Moose may be mostly harmless, but they’re huge. Don’t mess with ’em.
“Go through a corn maze.” – nilknarf114
“It had been suggested by friends as a fun activity but after an hour of endless corn-ers I called the ‘help line’ given us before we started and waited for someone to come get me out.”
Okay, that actually sounds really stressful.
“A marathon.” – hes_got_a_guard
I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who can run a marathon, or a half marathon, or to the other side of their neighborhood without being winded. But if I ever did one, it would be the only one I did.
“Divorce. Did it once, it was necessary, but never doing that again.” – TiinaWithTwoEyes
I can see that. Like, no one gets married to get divorced, and when you do, it’s always pretty complicated. Especially if you have kids.
“Had my back waxed.” – sirbeast
“The experience itself was fine, as I have a very high pain tolerance. What sucked is when it started growing back.
“OMG THE ITCHING! It was like nothing I ever experienced, and nothing I ever want to experience AGAIN!”
