Things you regret

On my second day ever in student accommodation I came home drunk and helped myself to an entire box of Birds Eye Potato Waffles that belonged to a girl called Catherine who I'd already offended when we first met by too obviously being unable to tell her gender.

The following morning I woke up with her screaming at me. Turns out I fell asleep in the kitchen with the empty box of waffles in my hand. I just recall her shouting "MY WAFFLES! MY WAFFLES!" for quite a long time. For some reason the only thing I could think to do was deny any guilt. I said "IT WASN'T ME! I DON'T EVEN LIKE WAFFLES!" and she said "YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DIDN'T EAT MY WAFFLES EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE HOLDING THE EMPTY WAFFLES BOX IN YOUR HAND?!?!" and I said "YES! I KNOW IT SEEMS UNLIKELY BUT DON'T YOU THINK SUCH EVIDENCE IS SO OBVIOUSLY INCRIMINATING THAT MY PLEA, DEAR SIR, MUST IN FACT BE TRUE, IN A TELLING NOD TO THE OLD ADDAGE THAT TRUTH IS OFTEN STRANGER THAN FICTION?!" This gave her pause for a few seconds, before she began to scream "MY WAFFLES!" again for several minutes.

Later she turned to Ket, which pretty much ended her bodybuilding career. I can't help but feel responsible.

in work we have a accredition programme all managers have to go through.

As there are so many managers it all got to much for HR, so they asked for volunteers to undertake the assessment of managers.
I sit here and ask why I put my name forward but I did..

Today I have 3 managers I need to assess, each assessment take around 1.5hrs so a long day

A definite regret and I know it will be a nightmare to do as simply I don't want to do it...

All too much for HR? That's ridiculous mate. It's kinda there job and why they get paid! If they are relying on line management to do their job for them it smacks of unprofessionalism to me.
 
Missing the 95 Cup Final. Three days before the final, my Fiancé at the time slept with a guy who was going to be one of my ushers at our wedding the week after the final!

I was in a bad place. The result picked me up and I gave my ticket to my sister so not all bad, but I was depressed and regret it.
 
Not travelling more, when I was younger and had very little money but loads of time
Whereas now I've plenty of dosh, but no time

Not getting serious about fitness until my late 20s. If I had been in serious shape through my late teens and mid 20s, oh man.

and not treating a few girls a bit better when I was going out/sleeping with them

being taken for granted, I regret not being more selfish in my younger days.
