23 Times People Regret “Doing the Right Thing”

A work friend of mine was going through a nasty divorce. Even though it wasn’t finalized he was seeing another woman at work on the “down low,” but everyone at the office had suspicions. Having dealt with divorce before, I sent him an email explaining that people were talking and he may want to be more discreet as to not exacerbate things with his divorce. He told the “down low” girl what I had said. She told me to mind my business. I explained over and over again that I meant well and it was nothing against her. She convinced him not to talk to me anymore and we haven’t spoken since.

I once refused to have sex with a girl because she was (at the time) super messed up on drugs and I just didn’t think it was right. She couldn’t even remember who I was. I stayed the night to take care of her instead. Next day, she told all our mutual friends that I raped her.. It didn’t end well for me.

My friends in college had to kill and dissect mice. There were too many etherized mice for the class, so they got the leftover little dude and carefully revived him, gave him water, stroked his fur, and then took him outside and released him on the lawn outside the cafeteria. He made it several yards before a bird swooped down and grabbed him.
