Tried it once ...... never again!!

[NagathaCrispy]

Just caught a bit of the Winter Olympics on TV and was reminded of the one and only time I tried skiing. It was one of the worst and most terrifying experiences of my life and I will definitely not, never, ever be doing it again!!

Ditto, my only experience of scuba diving .... still having nightmares years later!!!!!

Both these activities are on my "Tried it once but never again" list. Anyone else got a Never Again experience?

Definitely anal and andouillette as mentioned by PPs 😂

Also: going on a cruise. I have actually been on two, but don’t want to ever do it again.

Parkrun is strangely militant, I absolutely hated it. Also, clubbercise.

😱😱😱 what did you not like about it?????!!

Sex.

Marijuana brownies. Don't do it, kids! I loved Go Ape and scuba diving though.

Well you mean after a few vodkas you THINK you are the best dancer 😂

I'm with you on skiing! Went once aged 12 on a school trip, someone crashed into me knocked me out and I was in hospital for about 3 days though I felt fine. I couldn't speak about it until I was well into my 20s without crying. So skiing was not for me.

Teacup ride at funfair! All that spinning .. horrible. Never did that again.

Haha this was mine! Too much faff for not enough pay off, plus am with a partner with a bigger dick now so no…

I love roller coaster and waltzers so thought I would enjoy a roller coaster’s that had waltzers instead of the usual trains or cars. I have never been so terrified in my life. I actually thought I was going to go over the edge and felt sick. Ex was so laid back on it like it was nothing.😂😂😂

I once was persuaded to try "Chasing the Dragon" which is smoking heroin through a straw as it is burnt on foil. It was so wonderful, it is almost indescribable: complete warmth, safety and lack of anxiety drifting through you (the song Golden Brown is about it). Never again, I would never go back to it. It really would be the end of your life to continue.

I can think of many things I wouldn't even do once because I know I would hate them: scuba diving (claustrophobic plus I could drown), caving/potholing (claustrophobic, plus I could get stuck and die a slow horrible death) (plus I hate the dark), white water rafting (I could die), bungee jumping (i could die plus I could get a detached retina), parachuting (I could die, or just get horribly injured).

I have been skiing several times and loved it, but wouldn't now because of the risk of injury. Ditto parasailing.

I have now thought of the thing I've done once, never to be repeated. Think I had blanked it out tbh...

Went out on the St Lawrence River in a small speedboat with my DP, who was experienced in boats, he said he would do everything and we would stay close to the banks, so I reluctantly agreed.
For info, the St Lawrence is very deep, hence is a major shipping route for MASSIVE ships. For further context, the previous evening we watched from our riverside restaurant horrified as a body was pulled out of the water AFTER A BOATING ACCIDENT. Another diner helpfully explained that the water was so cold you die of hypothermia before you drown. Okay then 😳
Anyway, back to the rental... after we'd paid for the hire the renter explained that the one not 'driving' the boat would have to navigate , and we had to quickly get out into the main body of the river as there were dangerous rocks underwater along the sides of the river.
Handed me the navigation maps - cue panic on my part.
DP says it will be fine. Off we set, guns the boat a little to cross another boat's wake, its safer apparently, but water washes over the boat and us as we head out into the middle of the river. Cue screaming and swearing from me, swearing from DP.
We found somewhere to dock as soon as we could. Went in search of a cafe, didn't find one, returned to the as it turned out private dock to find the owners tying up their boats. They were friendly once we explained the situation. They invited us back to theirs for lunch, drinks and many laughs.
Then we got back into our boat, and returned it. Covered almost zero miles. Huge waste of money.

Never ever again doing the smal boat/huge river thing.

Any kind of theme park/fairground ride.
We had a seaside fairground (permanent) not far from home, and when l was a very young teenager l went with a group of my mates.
I was very travel/motion sick at the time, which didn't even occur to me.
We went on this horrendous thing called The Astronaut and right at the top l threw up. All over me (and presumably) the people below us.
I've never gone near anything like that again. I was mortified. Had to go home on the bus, too.
When l went to Florida with my ex husband years later, he went on all the rides at the theme parks and l sat in the sun with an ice cream and read my book.
He took the piss out of me, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been best pleased if l'd vomited all over him.
Same holiday, we went to one of those cinemas where the seats move to accompany the film (I forget what the film was) which are supposedly suitable even for toddlers.
I had to get up out of my seat and stand at the side because l was about to be sick.
Weirdly when we went to Amsterdam on the ferry it was extremely choppy, people were being ill all over, and l was absolutely fine.

I have vertigo. It was like vertigo but amplified

Only had a tiny bit so thankfully it did wear off quick

Just hated it. Skiing on the other hand, is a complete addiction!

I remember saying that I didn’t want anything to make me feel that good because what would life seem like afterwards.

Go Ape style high ropes. 30 minutes of terror. Legs were haking so badly I couldn't get from one stupidly small platform to another.
Awful. Kids and husband loved it.
All of those who have said 'caving' - what did you expect you absolute maniacs?
My husband and kids have a 4 hour ski lesson in the Cairngorms next week and I have opted out. Having read the first comment, I'm happy. I just know it's not for me.
I do like a rollercoaster.

White water canoeing. At one point I just wanted to assume the brace position and accept my fate. The hot flushes all the way down didn't help!

Potholing
Jellied eels
Dungeness

Having just googled ‘andouillette’ it looks like actual shit too.

Camping. I'm OK to do a nice mediterranean 5 star campsite with chalets, pools, spa and restaurants. But absolutely no tents.

Camel trekking. They stink and are really uncomfortable.

The Pepsi Max.

Oh I love Dungeness.
I'm with you on potholing though 😱
and I'm old and wise enough now not to even want to try jellied eels.

Yes, same. I went there with a girlfriend when I was 19. My friend was blonde and very pretty and we got lost in Cairo. Never been so scared in all my life. We were followed, grabbed, pinched and even surrounded at one point. That was nearly 30 years ago, though. Maybe it’s different today.

I’d also add drugs. It wasn’t that they were horrible. They were flippin lovely. But that’s why I’d never use them again. I saw friends drift down that road. One or two ended up in the hell of addiction, literally selling their bodies to fund their habit.

Sharing a caravan with friends, 1978, 4 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs. No indoor washing/toilet facility, only one bed that we had and everything in just one cramped space. Ex-husband got out of bed in the night to go outside to use chemical toilet and trod on dog poo on caravan floor.

Left next day to stay in hotel and vowed never again. 😄
