sjc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My general take on this is that you only regret the things you never did. * *Discounting murder etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Being loyal to my former company and not taking up the opportunity to move elsewhere when recruiters were hassling me. Fool. I thought you regretted taking the red pill? There's an easy solution to this work loyalty thing - realise that whoever you are, whatever position you are in, you are 100% expendable. Loyalty wouldn't come into it if they wanted to fire you, or anyone. You get a better opportunity that also makes sense logistically, location-wise, etc etc, you move. End of. f**k plastic loyalty.

Exactly this. One of the things my dad told me was that loyalty doesn't exist. Every single company will get rid of you in a heartbeat if they need to without giving a single f**k, so never be loyal to them, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duszek Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why spend time regretting? Process past experiences, seek to learn from them, then move fucking forwards with life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Aye cause single parents don't exist? Hope everything goes well though but you shouldn't miss out on things you want to do because of your girlfriend lad. Horrible advice, losing out on your kids first years would be my biggest regret if I ever did it. Probably not doing as well as I could have in school and hanging on with my first girlfriend for too long so that we ended up hating each other. Bitch.

Grim O'Grady Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Worked as a night manager in the Hotel Missoni for a while. The one week I choose to go on holiday, it happens to be over TinthePark weekend. Lady Gaga stays in one of the penthouse suites after she has finished her set, and there is a fire alarm. Miss Gaga needs to exit the hotel and stand outside on Victoria Street, just like everyone else (although no-one seems to notice that it's her.) Apparently, the guy who is filling in for me (usually on the HR team) begins chatting to her while they wait for the all clear. She asks him if he wants to come out drinking with her and her minders. He says 'no, sorry, I would lose my job.' Now, I'm not going to dismiss a job in the hospitality industry as 'run-of-the-mill' or 'expendable.' All I'm saying is that, if my holiday had been one week earlier or later, I most certainly would have been eschewing that ridiculous Missoni tartan kilt for a champagne-and-cocaine-addled binge with that messed-up little he-she. But was it a good holiday or did you just go to T in t'park? Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 But was it a good holiday or did you just go to T in t'park? Grimbo Sardinia. Was alright, but having a crack at Lady Gaga would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Eating a plate of chicken curry at TITP which led to me getting Salmonella, which ultimately led to me having IBS and generally having stomach problems for the rest of my days. 7 Years on from getting Salmonella my stomach is still absolutely fucked.

FuzzyAffro Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I have lots, but turning down a two year YTS at a second division club would probably be top. I was seventeen and thought I'm not having idiots scream abuse at me four nights a week for two years in the pissing rain for the hope of three minutes off the bench away to Alloa. Mate took it and went on to play for Scotland and made a nice career and a lot of money. Not saying that I would have too, but I never really made the connection that if you do well here maybe your Dundee Utd's etc would come calling, as they did with him.

Of course you're starting to regret it, that's what someone who has such little respect for you to issue an engagement ultimatum is counting on. What's with so many trouserless guys in here?

atfccfc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Plenty. The main one is not working hard at School. Took a long time to get the balls to go back to college and knuckle down. Also. At times i regret becoming a football fan. there are times i wish i could just chuck it. The Whataboutary does my head in. I'd also be considerably richer. Been going to football on average 30+ games since 1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
