15 People Recall Asinine Things They've Experienced Once But Swear They Never Will Again

The literal definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

Lucky for these 15 people, one time is all it took to grasp the concept of, "I should definitely never do this again." Some of these accounts are hard to believe because, um, hello common sense, but we're also talking about the human race here, and it's not far-fetched to say we are known for doing some pretty crazy stuff.

Hello, Fear Factor.

Who remembers Fear Factor? If so, make sure you let me know in the comments!

Anyways, get with the program. Use your common sense.

Don't be dumb, mkay?

Mkay.

Here goes!

15. Food challenges are generally 9 out of 10 horrible ideas.

"The Four Horseman burger from Chunky's in San Antonio, TX, was featured in Man vs Food. It was the worst decision I’ve ever made.

It was so hot that the first bite gave me instant hiccups, and tears started streaming. I couldn’t breathe. I took another bite because I’m a glutton for punishment. I quit, and they gave me lukewarm milk.

I paid $25 for a burger I took two bites from. The rest of my day was spent in the fetal position, sweating profusely. Just when I thought it was over, I threw up, and it brought the taste and pain back."

14. Like...but why?

"Well, as a young child, my penis got stuck in a toy train set.

I like to think that as an adult, that’s something I won’t repeat."

13. I think everyone should comply with this one.

"Trying to reason with someone who disagrees with you on the internet."

12. I'm literally cringing at the mere thought!

"Shaving my pubes with an old-school straight razor.

Dry."

11. I seriously can't even imagine what you did to your brain. DRUGS ARE BAD, KIDS!

"During my first semester of college, my friends and I joked about the idea of taking a stimulant, opiate, and hallucinogen at the same time and named it the 'Triforce of Overdose.'

Of course, this ended up with me actually doing it and having the worst trip ever. I didn’t feel the same for a week after."

10. You couldn't pay me enough!

"I ate a ghost chili pepper once for $20. The pain was so intense that I wanted to knock myself unconscious.

That night, I threw up in the shower, where it burned all over again. The next day was the final burn: the worst diarrhea I’ve ever had.

All of this for $20. Never again."

9. Ouchy mama...Nah bro. Stay hairy, Gary!

"Shaving my chest. I’m overweight, so I looked like a big baby. The worst part was when the hairs started growing back; they would hook into my T-shirt. It felt like my shirt was Velcro-ed onto my chest, and every move I made felt like the Velcro was being pulled off. Awful."

8. Why the f#ck?! Face palm. Lawd help. This is why the aliens don't visit us!

"Oh God, home Brazilian waxing. That is NOT something you do yourself. I was literally black and blue for a week."

7. Wait...Nutmeg is a thing? It messes you up? How did you even figure this out?!?

"My God, I just remembered.

23 years ago, I was 17, really into getting high and trolling the library for ways to do that (we didn’t have the internet).

My buddy and I ate 2 packets of nutmeg each. The taste was something I would never go through again; it was disgusting.

Nothing happened for about 4 hours, then it kicked in and stayed for a whole day. It really is just feeling like a zombie but not caring. Then came 3 days of suicidal lethargy. That fucked us up."

6. Voldemort's vomit, bahahahahahaha. Priceless.

"Cheap brandy.

I’ve had no shortage of bad bottom-shelf experiences, and I don’t kid myself that I won’t have plenty more on my budget, but I’ve never experienced anything quite as foul as that $1.50 50 mL bottle of Voldemort’s vomit before. Its haunting, lingering taste remained with me for days through countless teeth brushings and mouth rinses.

If you can’t afford quality brandy, don’t leave with brandy. Ever."

5. It's likely majority rubbing alcohol...But cheaper. Hahaha

"Erguotou (Chinese sorghum spirit.)

When booze is 56% alcohol and costs 50 cents a bottle, one should move the fuck away."

4. First sentence, total turn off. Fail. Run away. No.

"I ate deep-fried tarantula once. It was just awful.

Yes, it was in Cambodia. I tried it at a roadside bus stop; the woman’s method of advertising was having a large live tarantula alongside the cooked ones, and I just thought, spur of the moment, why not (there is a photo of the spider on my arm somewhere which I can try to dig out).

The legs were crunchy and not entirely pleasant, but not too unpleasant either.

The body itself was the worst part: crunchy on the outside and just a weird gooey texture on the inside, and the tastes were just weird as well."

3. Never, ever.

"I tried the cinnamon challenge.

Don’t try the cinnamon challenge."

2. Now remember back at the beginning when I talked about common sense? Well, here it is folks. NONE. Face palm.

"Meth.

I just don’t get the high. In college, I did a lot of cocaine, and once at a party with townies (of course), they busted out these tiny little lines and asked if I wanted a bump. I thought the host was just being conservative until the second after I took it and got the drip. Fucking nasty. Fast forward 48 hours, and I’m still awake with no end in sight, feeling like an electric eel stuck in a lawnmower engine. That shit was nasty, plain and simple."

1. Like, why in the actual literal f#ck would you do this? LAWWWD.

"When I was in high school, from 2003 to 2007, the debate regarding 'enhanced interrogation' and torture was at its peak. The US was torturing 'non-enemy combatants' at Guantanamo Bay every single day. I wanted to write a paper on the atrocities, but I felt like I couldn’t really speak to the horrors of waterboarding and other torture methods unless I’d experienced them.

So, I waterboarded myself. Being a bit of a coward, I wasn’t very successful. So, I had a friend help me.

I can honestly say I will never volunteer to be waterboarded again."
