Recently I created an anti-bucket list of things I never want to do. That got me thinking about things I wish I had never done.
16
Anything that requires temperature-rated apparel
I am so over cold weather
15
Buying Groupon-like coupons for restaurants I have never been to before
There's a reason they are desperate enough to gamble on those money-losing deals
14
Eat oysters
aka 'loogies'
13
Drink an Irish Car Bomb
Tim Harper I blame you
12
Driving my own car into Manhattan
It was everything you might imagine - construction, cursing, nightmarish traffic, overpriced parking
11
Shop at Wal-Mart
Wandering around ten acres of imported crapola, god forbid you need help or have a question. There are easier ways to save money.
10
Eat drive-through
Such garbage. Avoid temptation!
9
Sneak my own drinks into the movie theater
Nothing like sticky soda spilling inside your favorite red leather purse.
8
Put off stopping for gas
Nothing like running out of gas while taking your boss to the airport :(

Visit Las Vegas in July
Summer of 2007. 115 degrees at 10:30 at night I kid you not.
6
Visit a strip club
Demoralizing. 2. Depressing. 3. All the drunks thought I worked there.
5
Go camping
Like my brother says, my idea of roughing it is no fresh towels at the Marriott.
4
Use a Port-a-John
I would rather wet myself.
3
Home perms
Sweet Mother of Pearl, what was I thinking????
2
Candy making class
This is one of those ideas that sounds good on paper: group of girlfriends takes a candy making class together. Here's where it went horribly wrong. 1) Unless it's chocolate I don't really like candy. 2) The instructor was a bitchy queen who obviously wished he was anywhere but with us. 3) I def do not need to know how to make myself endless supplies of candy at home. 4) The end product is def not worth the effort. Candy making is HARD!

Fill-in-the-blank Shower
Any event where I have to pretend to ooh and ahh over gifts or pretend to be thrilled to play puerile or demeaning games or pretend I would rather be anywhere else - Check No. I swear I'll make it up to you with a generous gift check.
