Not joining the Police Force...... I was in the Marines and when got out a friend who was a Cop told me not to join. Still wish I had. I was a good guy but maybe not streetwise enough to all the corrupt games out there at the time.

I know there are a few, but how do you go about asking without sounding creepy?

Easy, ask her to slow dance and then while dancing ask her if she'd be interested in being strapped to you and jumping out of a plane. If she says no, ask "how about we go to my place and forget the plane"? (Notice I said nothing about the straps cuz she may just have a fear of flying) I always like giving them choices and if any woman picked that first one, I am going home alone.

Not investing in Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, etc..... and not keeping 500 shares of Netflix before it split 7:1, which would be 3500 shares now. Due to circumstances I chose to sell the 500 shares to gets some needed cash flow. That mistake has cost me 1.2M so far.
Back in the earlyish 90s I was talked out of buying dell computer..I don't even want to do that calculation.ha

Was expecting you to say shes a keeper for saying yes to the first question during the dance

The Internet boom! I remember it well. I played a lot of options with Dell back then.

I regret not driving away from the gym when I realized I'd left my headphones at home.

I was offered a head football coach position at a major university in Mexico City with a great salary. My mom had just died and I didn't want to leave my dad. I don't really regret it, but I wonder what could have been.

My biggest regret is not kicking the ever living holy crap out of my only sibling and brother when I found out he started using drugs again after getting out of 6 weeks of in patient rehab. It was my last option and who knows if it would have worked but maybe he would still be here if I had :(

Lots of small regrets and a few large ones.

I do regret not joining the military but I turn 18 toward the end of Viet Nam War and my mind was poisoned by leftist propaganda that young people fall for.

I regret not becoming a doctor/surgeon ( was a critical care/trauma certified RN for 30 years and started my college as pre-med).

I regret staying with my 1st wife as long as I did (16 yrs) but we had no children and maybe I wouldn't have met the awesome woman I've been married to for the last 24 years and had 3 great children. But that 1st woman tortured my psyche and screwed me up for a while.

And then there's the crazy divorcee woman we lived by when I was 14 . . . but that's for another time.

For me it was jumping out of a plane. Always wanted to but, the old ticker won't allow me to at this point.

Is it medical? If not go tandem jump. You won’t even think about it once you hit the air. Highly recommend.

For every answer contemplate whether you can still get that done. I don’t have many regrets. Mine - I would have gotten out of NY. Now I am trapped until the kids are done with school. I hate it here.
