David's tweet received over 95.4k likes and was retweeted thousands of times. But it wasn't the impressive figures that were the most significant victory.
No, the achievement was in getting people to talk about their regrets, which they still carry with them to this day.
Not to mention the comic gold that lurks between the lines of these tweets. The thread is proof that many more people than you'd imagine have the kinds of regrets that keep us awake at night.
That tweet clearly hit a nerve.

Some people are just not good at taking hints. Obviously, they are not good at recognizing even the most obvious attempts at flirting either.
If they weren’t so funny, these stories would be almost tragic. We all have missed opportunities, but, boy, do these stories make us feel better.
What are your missed opportunities?
Some missed chances are funny only after the fact.
