23 of the worst decisions a person can make in life
No matter how old we are, occasionally we make bad decisions. Sometimes, they only have a minor impact on our daily lives. Other times, on the contrary, the repercussions are quite dramatic... In some cases, it’s possible to fix them, but in other cases, suffering, pain, fear, or even a lasting impact may follow...
Here are 23 bad decisions that it’s best not to make in life, to avoid digging your own grave... We’re waiting for your suggestions to make this list longer!
1. Tattoos
The younger you are when you get a tattoo, the more likely you are to regret your choice. Why? Simply because tastes change over time!
2. Taking a bath with your cat
You have to agree that the idea is already twisted in itself, but for those people who still want to take a chance, know that it could cost you your life (in the literal sense of the term, of course!).
3. Putting a bandage on a hairy part of your skin
Who has never had tears in their eyes after getting hurt and again after seeing a beautiful little sticky bandage on their hair?!
4. Disobeying when told not to take pictures in a cave
Only those people who have ever tried it know what we’re talking about here... The flash wakes up bats, and you have to try to run as fast as Usain Bolt!
5. Offering to carry your girlfriend on your shoulders at a concert or festival
Sure, not only will you look like a gentleman, but most importantly, you’ll score points in her heart. With that said, you also risk losing it all if you collapse under her weight!
6. Buying a night light for a child
The thought behind a night light is to reassure a child who is afraid of the dark. But often, the light it projects into the room can reveal terrifying shadows (especially if it has a character like in the photo).
7. Leaving a toddler unattended
Besides the fact that it’s dangerous, it’s totally impossible to trust these little monsters... If they aren’t drawing on the walls, it will be a pack of flour in the kitchen, lipstick on the mirror, or tape all over their face...
8. Planning to attend an event well in advance
The weather today is slightly unpredictable... So it’s impossible to know if it will be nice or not... Even in the summer, the weather can act up and you could have a ruined wedding, a birthday party in the rain, or a drenched concert!
9. Trying to customize your furniture yourself if you aren’t very good at DIY projects
Needless to say, if your artistic fiber has never been recognized by your circle of friends (or even by you), it’s almost unlikely that you’ll perform miracles... Leave it to the pros. That way, you’ll have more of a chance to get results that meet your expectations...
10. Trying to show off by touching wild animals at the zoo
No – absolutely not! Porcupines certainly aren’t mean, but they have a dangerous weapon... You have been warned!
11. Covering the stairs with carpeting
If this idea comes to mind, think again... There’s nothing worse than carpet, especially if it’s identical on the stairs and on your floor. Again, you’ll understand why we choose to give you this wise advice, if you were thinking of doing this!
12. Placing an ad to find a professional
So, of course, you can find some very competent people. But in general, if you have managed to post an ad on a website, it’s probably because you want something done cheaply. And on those sites, you can come across all types of people!
13. Keeping old newspapers from important dates
This young couple wanted to keep the newspaper from their wedding day and the front page gave them something to think about. Avoid cluttering up your home with old useless memories!
14. Leaving home too soon
Did your mom ever say, "You’re leaving home already?! But you’re still my little baby!” You’ll quickly understand that life isn’t so easy when you live alone... Like this person who wanted to do his first load of laundry at home and ended up catching the machine on fire!
15. Taking lots of drugs or products
If you’re hooked on coffee and various medications, you’ll look like an addict to your colleagues! Especially if you have fun bringing back strange powders (here, protein powder), in suspicious bags...
16. Thinking you're smarter than road signs
Whether it’s a speed limit or some type of ban, it's always best to trust road signs... They have never been placed there by chance!
17. Falling asleep in the sun with friends
It goes without saying that friendship has limits, especially when it comes to playing pranks... If you ask a friend to put sunscreen on your back, make sure he does it right! Otherwise, you may end up with a reddish "work of art" …and your picture on the internet!
18. Doing your own work
This man removed his clogged toilet to fix it. He put it back, and then, once the work was finished, he realized that he forgot to close the door... He just had to start over... This kind of thing happens frequently when we aren’t used to working on home projects!
19. Giving your children a gift that’s more of a curse than a blessing
As painful as it may be, avoid doing things that could end badly...
20. Not helping your friends
If you know something important, share it with as many people as you can. Knowledge is a weapon! Never forget that! Here, the owner of this Fiat is letting you know that you should never buy a Fiat!
21. Getting a tattoo of your boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s name
No one knows what will happen in life! For this reason, it’s best to avoid tattooing the name of your boyfriend or girlfriend, at risk of, perhaps, regretting it one day!
22. Waxing your own eyebrows
It’s a proven fact! If this is your first time, be very careful! You could really regret it! Because generally, there are some places that don’t grow back (and it's never the ones you want!).
23. Playing mean pranks
Switching bottles or filling them with other products can have very serious repercussions. Of course, you will laugh (especially if you aren’t the one being pranked), but the victim could hate you for it and get you back ten times worse!
This little girl’s older brother made her think that this hair removal cream was shampoo...
