We all want our life to be fun and exciting. Most people take risks and are adventurous to make their lives engaging. Are all the risks worth it? We don’t think so.
A user asked the forum, “What isn’t worth the risk nowadays and why?” Here are the top responses.
ROAD RAGE
“Road Rage. It’s just not worth responding to anything while driving. Ignore them and stay away. Make no gestures and ignore them.”
ESCALATING ANY ARGUMENTS
“Escalating any arguments with strangers or even escalating anything while driving.”
HUSTLE CULTURE
“Working yourself to death. Work on separating your work life from your normal life. When I leave work, I don’t check emails, text/call about work, nothing.”
FLYING ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE
“Flying on a tight schedule. The airlines are not functioning well anymore. COVID-19 damaged air travel.
STREAKING
“Streaking. Nowadays, anything like that will get you put on a public registry forever.”
DRUGS
A user said, “Any ‘hard’ drugs. I’ve done almost everything and had fun, but I wouldn’t touch anything today. Fentanyl is turning up in everything, and it’s just too dangerous now.”
Another user added, “Today’s drugs have fentanyl or some synthetic opioid much stronger than fentanyl.”
Another user added, “Experimenting with drugs. Substances these days are so powerful, not to mention how often they’re cut with fatal doses of opioids. Today’s weed can have an inexperienced person throwing up for hours.”
DRINKING AND DRIVING
A user said, “Drinking and driving. Never was, but especially not anymore. Get an Uber, people.”
Another user said, “Drunk driving. I’m 65, and when I was young, the times I drove polluted scares me to think about it now. A friend of mine had a 69 Camaro, and we were so drunk he had to work the gas, clutch, and steering while I shifted the four-speed. It was comical then, not so much now.”
SERIOUS CRIMES
“Serious crimes with DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), smartphones & cameras around, you’re bound to get caught someday.”
CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST
“Climbing Mount Everest. Too many people have planted a stupid flag up there that looks like a beach coast covered in trash.”
DATING
“Dating. While I could make this a rant and get all the ‘You’re just dating the wrong type of people’ comments, let’s make it easy.
There are enough people that are selfish, entitled, and deluded enough to where it isn’t worth the trouble.”
DOWNHILL MOUNTAIN BIKING
“Downhill mountain biking. I’ve had four friends who need surgeries in the last two summers. I’m selling my bike next spring.”
CRUISE SHIP VACATIONS
“Cruise ship vacations. COVID-19 hits the passengers, and you’re stuck on that ship import for two weeks, and the toilets usually get destroyed.”
TALKING POLITICS
“Talking politics. It just isn’t worth it anymore.
I cast my vote and waited for the next election. Besides that, I don’t need to discuss anything with anyone.”
FAST FOOD
“Fast food. It isn’t fast anymore. Last time I went to Taco Bell, I didn’t even get my food before I had to return to work because I only got 30 minutes for lunch.”
PROTESTING
“Protesting. You can get punched by counter-protesters, tear-gassed, arrested by police, dragged into a van by anonymous men in camouflage, doxed, shot, or run down by a car.”
DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER
“Double cheeseburger. I don’t need the second patty anymore, and the meat-to-bread ratio isn’t correct either.”
CONFESSING YOUR FEELINGS
“Confessing your feelings. ‘Cause at the end of the day, knowing it’s another rejection is tiring.'”
SWIMMING IN A LAKE
“Swimming in a lake or the ocean. There are too many weird things in the water, things that will eat you, etc. I know it’s always been this way, but my perspective has changed as I get older.”
STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS
“Start a small business. Getting a high-paid job, preferably in the public sector, and joining the property ladder is the way to build wealth in this country. Almost any job is better than starting a small business.
Nowadays, Most small businesses are more like self-contractors with tax benefits than proper businesses. Similar to many jobs with salary packaging to gain tax benefits.”
