You can’t get through life without making a mistake here, right? Life is a learning lesson, blah blah blah. We get it, we’re all going through life and some of us make more mistakes than the rest of us. So, what do those that are prone to endless mistakes do?

Do they sit at home hoping that the rest of their lives will go smoothly by? Or just keep on truckin’? Probably the latter because staying at home all the f*cking time sounds like a complete bore. Yeah, we make mistakes, and some of them may be more permanent than the others, but we’ve got to keep moving because what else is there to do in life besides keep learning? You can’t keel over and give up, you know your momma taught you better than that.

Yes, some mistakes are unforgettable and make you take a step back to think about what you’ve done and how you’ve got this far in life so far. Take that into consideration, do some meditation, and get on with your life. Or wallow in your mistakes, because that sounds like a ball of joy.

These 17 people made some awful decisions that affected their lives:


1.

Stretching my ears. One of them is stuck with a 10mm hole in that I have to have a plug in permanently or else it looks like a cat anus

2.

Playing in a band without ear plugs. Tinnitus is a bitch.

3.

I decided to try and be a parkour expert. My shitty coordination didn’t kill my motivation… Until one evening, I was at a local park, and decided to do a massive wall jump that failed epically. I fell on top of a jabbed surface and tore my intestines. Due to this injury, I now have a permanent colostomy at the ripe age of 16.

4.

Tattoo with my wife’s name. She got mine, too. Married six years at the time, blissfully in love. Lasted another 8. Now I just wanna chop my arm off.
