16 Things We've All Done And Instantly Regretted

Funny Junk

We all have those moments when we act without thinking -- and the results can range from incredibly embarrassing to absolutely devastating. If you're like me, this happens on the daily.

1. Bought a song on iTunes.

Because let's face it -- unless you want something by Adele or Taylor Swift, pretty much everything else is on Spotify. Dag nabbit!

2. Worn rain boots because you thought it was going to rain, but alas -- no rain.

Now your feet are all warm and sweaty and those boots are Just so clunky, damn!

5. Ordered pizza at 12:30 a.m., and then had to keep yourself up for another 45 minutes until it arrived.

Food is greater than sleep.

It was six in the evening. I was sitting in the courtyard of a Renaissance-era Italian villa, glancing around at the statues, most notably one of a boy removing a thorn from his foot.

As I, a five-year-old boy with a jumble of curly blonde hair, sat in the back of the kid clump, I wondered which team I should root for.
