"I know how my mom will die and I hate it. I'm never touching that garbage." - UrdnotChivay·.
"A tame one, but smoke tobacco."
"My dad has always smoked like a chimney and I've seen what it's done to his lungs, his teeth, the way he and his clothes smell."
"I love the man, but there was no greater deterrent to me smoking growing up than seeing what happens to someone after 40 years of near-constant smoking."
"It's just disgusting."
"I'm not the sort of person who has ever done drugs more than a couple of times, and I stopped drinking years ago, primarily because I'm an a**hole that I don't like when drunk and high, but I'd still rather do those than smoke cigarettes, and it's frankly baffling that cigarettes are still legal and everywhere." - Koras.

"Cable TV, I’m not going to pay $120 a month for something and still have it be 1/3 commercials, I spend half as much and have everything I need whenever I want it with no ads."

'taking what you can get'
"My wife hasn’t been in a Walmart in 20 years. I admire her commitment and they are starting to feel the pressure."
njdevil956
"Same. 'No ethical consumption' etc aside, Walmart is contemptuous of its customers as well as its workers. It's stunning how few people they have running the stores now, and that hurts customers AND workers, as well as the level of actual service. What's the point of having department counters when they're all empty?"
"The quality is nonexistent, getting groceries is an excersise in 'taking what you can get' because they intentionally limit their selection to maximize return on bulk orders (hence, half an aisle of mac and cheese for instance), and the 'here's a pallet, grab it or whatever' method of leaving half-opened shipments of groceries in the aisle has turned the whole place into an uninviting supply depot. Only way I walk back into WalMart is if the zombies rise."

"For me, Postmates. They didn’t bring what we ordered. Then I called them, they said they can’t rectify it. Then after a long back and forth whoever was there spoke to their manager, and said fine, they’ll do it this once, but never again. So guess who is never again getting my business. I can’t just pay for a service and not receive it, obviously."

MLMs aren't small businesses though IMO."

"Microtransactions in video games. Not even once!!"
Napp2dope
"Same. At first it was for principle. I shouldn’t pay a bunch of extra money to get to play the game when I already paid for it. Then it became out of a slight fear. Met a few ppl once that said they spent 6-10k a year on those transactions for a free mobile game. They said so casually to that I realized how much of an addiction it can become."

When in NC
"This one gas station, when I first moved to NC I would buy beer every few days (I was 21 and lived with fellow young connoisseurs of cheap beer) and they had no problem then this new guy denied me for out of state ID, and he was rude AF about it, told me to put the beer back and told him to do it himself, it's his job. Walked next door and bought my beer. Looking back it's petty but seriously there was no need to be rude."

TWO DOORS DOWN
"Old age nursing homes. They left my 89 year old granddad with Parkinsons sitting in a shit filled diaper... for seven hours straight. He yelled out for help and pressed his emergency life buttons twenty times in total. They was no reason the staff wouldn't have heard him, as a large group of them were sitting on their phones just TWO DOORS down from his room at the time. The smell was so bad we had to leave his bedroom windows open for a week, and most of the poop was crusted by that point."

"We’re renting in an HOA and they sent us a fine because our nine-year-old was 'vandalizing property by throwing large chunks of ice at cars and houses.' There was video. He had thrown a snowball at his friend 20 feet away from property. His friend threw a snowball in the general direction of the parking lot."
"His second 'offense' was 'damaging traffic cones.' Someone kicked one over near the bus stop. I ripped the HOA a new a**hole and our landlord threatened to sue if they ever pull that bulls**t again."

Redditor koyanggi6563 asked:
"What's something that should never be asked on a first date?"
Let's see what people had to say.
The hard hitting questions.
"On a first date, my date asked me what percent of women I had sex with on first dates."
- nyle2
"Percentage???? Were they a statistician???"
"60% of the time it works every time."
- Redditor
"What's your body count?"
"'You mean as my hobby or for my job?'"
"'83 confirmed kills. Why?'"
- Dahns
Kim Kardashian Eww GIF by Saturday Night LiveGiphyFinancial questions.
"How much money I have."
"Before I was married, I went on a date with a woman who asked me on the first date, how financially comfortable I was."
"We had known each other for a few weeks (mutual friend). I think she asked because she deducted that I lived alone in a house I owned, at age 25, and it probably appeared that I didn't work (was self employed)."
"As soon as she asked, it was obvious why she pushed us to try dating because she saw money."
"She ended up marrying for money, but not mine. It's obvious there's a prenup, because she's miserable, and not leaving him."
"Ask me about my job... we're fine. Specific questions about my salary or savings... I nope out."
- ghost882
A little oversharing.
"I had a girl once talk about how her period was so bad this month it caused her chest to break out in hives. She then wanted to show me...in a diner....full of families and sh*t. I did not ask."
Probably shouldn't ask this either:
"U on ur period?"
Or this:
"Have been asked my bra size on multiple first dates."
Amy Hoggart Idk GIF by truTVGiphyVery concerning.
"I had a first date ask me my favorite genocide, and then went on to talk about various historical genocides for the rest of the date. I was really creeped out..."
Oh No Snl GIF by Saturday Night LiveGiphyWhat a weird way of putting it.
"I had a guy ask how far I could run without stopping."
"Why? Are you going to chase after me????"
"Probably interested to see if you are physically active or not, but asking it in a strange way."
- btax1
"Yes more than likely. He was an odd duck. He was a federal agent."
Moving a little too fast.
"Can I introduce you to my friends as my man?"
"Like chill girl, we don't even know each other..."
"Where should I put my suitcase till my furniture arrives?"
GIF by Brett EldredgeGiphyHope they knew about her before this came up.
"Is it ok if I bring my wife on our next date?"
Not everyone agrees that it's inappropriate to bring up money, sex life, or exercise routines on the first date.
However, if you find those things important to know before a second date maybe it's best to get it out of the way first.
It's probably best to steer clear of the chloroform questions though.

Those who are brave enough to take a leap may come out on the other side a champion. And good for them.
But a majority of non-risk-takers are perfectly fine with perpetuating their comfortable existence without enlightenment that may never come.
Curious to hear from strangers online, Redditor alskjdhf asked:
"What will you never do, not even once?"
When it comes to sharing a life with a significant other, these are things Redditors hope to avoid.
Reproducing
"As a person who did reproduce - I'm very happy with my decision but it is so much fucking work, not at all something you should do by accident. Use birth control people! I recommend IUDs, they are about as close to foolproof as it's possible to get."
– Voctus
Thrill-seekers live off of adrenaline, but these Redditors are comfortable in opting out of adventure.
Spelunking
"Cave exploring- not sure if that's what it's officially called but when people wedge themselves into tiny spaces underground in caves to go and have a look."
"Just nope. No way. Why do people do this?"
Exploration Gone Bad
"Yup, I'm pretty outdoorsy and adventurous but spelunking frightens me for some reason. That became worse when I heard about the Nutty Putty cave incident. If you don't know what it's about basically a guy got stuck in a very narrow opening and because of the complicated location of the said opening they couldn't get him out. Rescuers could see his legs but were helpless. He eventually died but it was deemed too dangerous to retrieve his body so they just left it there. The cave is now closed to the public and the opening was closed shut."
The Defective Cord
"Bunjee jumping. A broken rubber took me into this world, a broken rubber is not taking me out of it."
Extravagant Indulgences
"Buy a mansion or a super expensive car. Even if I had the money. I feel it's just for ego inflation while there is people that don't have a healthy place to live and get a packet bus to work everyday."
– melanke
There are enough horror stories out there to keep people from being in altered states.
Confession From An Addict
"Heroin. It ruined my life for about half a decade. It ended my relationship with someone I loved more than anything. I still have dreams where I'm addicted and in withdrawals again. Recovery from opiate addiction is an awful, painful, and non-linear process. I hate myself every day for being an addict. I hate that I didn't get help sooner, and that it had to get as bad as it did for me to change. I'm not sure I'll forgive myself for it for a very long time, if ever."
– vanohew
I remember watching an episode of Fear Factor or something similar where a contestant faced their arachnophobia by letting a tarantula crawl on his face.
Watching that alone gave me such high anxiety.
It's a hard "nope" for me, and not even a couple thousand bucks would make me allow an eight-legged monster to chill on my face and lay thousands of spider eggs in my eyes and nose.
