Glad you tried but will never do again?

Years ago I bungee jumped, an absolutely amazing experience but I will never do that again, too old and too scared now!

Are there any things you're glad you tried but will never do again?

@lejourseleve

Also during the first lockdown I got an ingrown toenail - I soaked it in hot water took as many painkillers as I safely could and dealt with it myself. So happy I did because it was agony, but never again!
Dealt with it yourself? How? You didn't yank it off did you?!!

@HopingForMyRainbowBaby - I loved the rock n roller coaster too. The kids and I kept getting off and running back to get straight back in the queue for it. Ditto Obliviion and the Saw.

Tough Mudder. I like being able to say I did it but I don't think I'd get anything out of a repeat experience. Also, on a practical level, it's gougy as hell!!

Same here, with bells on! Not quite as long as yours, but my god, building work was something I won't be repeating unless essential. Love my new space but it's taken it's toll.

Anonymous sex with someone you meet online for a quickie. Shit and usually very disappointing.

Paintballing - glad I had a go so I know what all he fuss is about, but never again. It really, really hurts, the gear is very hot, sweaty and smelly to wear and men get very aggressive.

Pisa - wanted to see the tower, I did. I wouldn't bother to go back.

Dubai. Like Disneyland on acid. Ghastly eco disaster of a place hiding virtual slavery whilst polluting the planet all done from a ridiculously flash cars whilst sporting a very expensive handbags made in terrible conditions by exploited workers. Just totally shit.

Rant over.

Paintball. Ouch

Going on a rollercoaster. I can now emphatically say that I tried it and I hated it exactly as much as I thought I would.
