Things you regretted - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did you ever agree to do something and shortly after thinking about it wished you hadn't? One of those times for me was when I was in 5th grade.
I was sitting in class when the vice principal came on the intercom and asked for me to come down to the principal's office. My heart started beating really fast and I started shaking thinking that one of my crimes must have been discovered. I went down there and waited outside his office still trying to think of what I did and if I should just run home. I gave up on the idea of running home since he knew where I lived and he eventually opened his door and asked me to come in. He then asked me if I would like to be a crosswalk guard and I said " I guess so " I was anxious to leave because I was nervous talking to him. He handed me an orange belt that wrapped around the shoulder and told me I would have to get to school 30 minutes early and I would be 30 minutes late leaving school. As I was walking back to class I got to thinking about it and got really bummed out, I had a hard time getting up for school as it was, why didn't I tell him no? The school used two crosswalk guards, one at each end of the school. When I first went to this school kids would talk about something that happened a couple of years back where this kid dropped his papers under a bus and the bus ran over his head and killed him, it happened right where I would be working as a crosswalk guard. I kept looking at that spot where they said it happened and I kept thinking " I don't want this job. " I was a terrible crosswalk guard, a couple of times kids were almost run over because I was busy bulls***ing with my friends. Luckily, I only had to do it for a couple of weeks and they replaced me with another chump. The next year I was sitting in my house watching tv and my younger brother came home all excited carrying an orange belt, " Guess what? " " They made me a crosswalk guard. " I told him he would have to get to school early and he would be late getting home and he said " Awwww sh** " He only lasted a couple of days because he got into a fight with some kid when he was supposed to be helping people cross the street. He was stripped of his belt and given a dishonorable discharge.

I have done a lot of things that I've regretted in my life . My biggest regret is not having more children. I have two adult children whom I love very much. They are a girl and a boy. But I wish now that I had had at least 1 or 2 more.

I do too, I have regrets , I'm not really wanting to list them right now really.

I would have liked to have had a girl. I love my two boys, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to have had one more and be a girl.

But than who knows? Maybe it would have been another boy! Something that used to make me sad was after my first husband and I divorced, he remarried, and guess what? His new wife had a baby girl!!

YEP!! Well at least it gave my son's a sister,

even if I couldn't be her mother too! Oh well!

When I got with my present husband we were not that young anymore, and he had two kids already and didn't really want more , so we never had any together!

When I first saw this thread, my mind right away went straight to this great old Frank Sinatra song "My Way"

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

I regret going to elementary middle & high school

Not being free to follow my dreams because my mom put me in some state-run job training program I wanted no part of, then not working several years until getting dead end job at a supermarket, working 13 years until I quit after something happened between me and a customer, followed by unsuccessfully trying to find work while I ended up squandering my saving account, which included my profit sharing I accumulated from all my years there. I quit after my mom passed away. Been having trouble finding work since.

I regret too many things to mention. Sometimes I wish we could have a do over.

I agree. It would be nice if it was possible to have a do over.

My biggest regret is spending too many years dwelling on regrets.

I regret not going to college and also getting married at 19. But that's water under the bridge.
