Ever had one those moments in life when you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, you are making a very, very bad decision, with a great chance for instant regret and a miserable, probably long lasting, outcome and notheless followed that path?

Yeah, that one. Care to share with us?

I’ll start. I dated a person, after we had already dated for a very short time, during which I was cheated on and eventually was left for a fourth person.

Yeah, not my brightest moment. And yes, I was cheated on again and again was left for another person.

    Where I live, back when I got my driver’s license, there was always a several months long queue to take the driving test. When my turn came, there was a terrible blizzard. I knew I should just cancel it and wait several more months, but I didn’t do that. It ended in several injuries and a totalled car.

          It’s traditional for driving instructors to drive you home after passing if you’re using their car (at least in the uk).

          Too many people have passed, then had a bad accident on the way home.

          (Plus sometimes they only carry learner insurance)

            That sounds lovely! I’m not sure how common it is here, since not many people I know in the U.S. have ever had a driving instructor. They exist, but most people I know just learned from family or friends.

            I had no idea that what happened to me is so common, that’s honestly a bit of a relief.

      I suppose if the storm was that bad they shouldn’t have rescheduled it anyway. People really shouldn’t be driving in that kind of weather.
