Just curious.
Mine is missed Pink Floyd gig in London Hyde Park 2005. I couldn’t make it.

My biggest regret that I can not forgive myself for is my failure to attempt to send this link to every human being on earth: https://blog.dogsbite.org/2020/08/teenager-suffers-crushed-trachea-violent-pit-bull-attack-georgia.html
I just sent it to all of my contacts.
Not buying bitcoin when it was dirt cheap.
Passing up an autographed book by Ken Kesey
Well, this probably isn’t my biggest regret, but you reminded me of it. I bought tickets to see The Who in Atlanta in the summer of 1989, then I took a job in Minnesota. I gave my best friend the tickets (I was planning on getting a date), and he couldn’t get anybody to go with him, so he didn’t go.
TL;DR My best friend from high school and I are both losers.
so many….i’ll choose the latest ones:
1. missed the Total Eclipse due to clouds. if i had been 6 miles to the West, i could have seen it.
2. missed my son’s Regional Cross-Country first place due to a compulsory company meeting.
3. bought Gold at $1200 then sold at $1500.
I will mention my biggest torch regret: an Astrolux FT02. I threw it away, because trying to get a refund, or replacement didn’t pan out.
Missing the original Woodstock . It was less than 10 miles from my house. My father said I was too young. He wasn’t a big fan of hippies or rock and roll.
Yeah, being a flower power generation myself, that Woodstock event was The Event at that time, but I live halfway around the globe from there.
A long time ago, at the time I was driving a 260Z and I was offered this T-Bird Porthole Hardtop for $1500.
I made the mistake of driving it. Jeeze, just too tight for my 6foot body.
What a a shortsighted A-Hole I was.
That I did not buy BLF-348 Nichia when it was in stock. Now, it is imposible to find one.
That makes two of us… I knew about it too when it was just getting started, but it seemed like an extreme niche fad at the time.
I have one you can have. PM me your address.
There was that girl, that time, all those years ago….
If only life had a rewind button.
1) picking the wrong / worse college (and therefore having a career that is only somewhat stellar and not perfect)
2) not believing in Amazon stock (bought at 220$ a pop but sold off too early)
3) not getting married early in life (had perfect gfs back then, but didn’t realize)
4) paying more attention when I was a young driver. nothing major happened, just a lot of tiny stuff that added up over the early years with a lot of paperwork and costs. super annoying.)
Not listening to my mate who said at beginning of the year when the pandemic started ” You know I think gold will go up in value as people panic over this”
Damn he was right and I missed the boat.
I remember hearing about it around 2010-2012. Didn’t really understand what it was and didn’t like the idea of electronic currency so I ignored it…I feel like an idiot. More than an idiot actually.
A long long time ago I knew this girl. She was smart, she was bright, she was slim and very feminine, she was athletic, her father was one of the largest employers in town, and she was my best friend.
And she wanted more, but I did not want to lose my best friend. And that happened, for that reason.
That was just the first of many carefully calculated ill-fated decisions, including joining the other forum.
Till I met you
Being a stoner in high school, delayed my education, career, adult life.
You didn’t want more because she didn’t like flashlights?
adding to my previous list:
5) I should’ve cut off some of my friends earlier, they wasted my time
6) I lived in many countries over the course of my life, maybe I could have focused on fewer but lived my live in a more structured way
