I’d like to think that humans have advanced very far as intelligent life forms. The wheel, space travel, vaccines - all concepts conceived by bright human minds. Yet every day, we come up with “bright ideas” that turn out to be disastrous. Don’t be ashamed, because we’ve all been there. Here are the five worst things you’ve tried and are bound to try again...and again...and again.

1. Drinking in bed

There are many things you can do in bed. I, for one, have spent entire days in bed napping, watching Netflix, and consuming a concerning amount of carbohydrates. But the second you start to feel a little parched, you're screwed. Any time you try to drink in bed, 10% of it will end up in your mouth with the other 90% all over you.

2. All nighters

The all nighter can go one of two ways: you either a) fall asleep halfway through and never end up finishing the work that was most definitely due tomorrow, or b) successfully stay up all night doing work, which results in extreme fatigue and disorientation for the next 48 hours.

3. Power naps

I like to imagine that there are really successful people somewhere in the world who actually benefit from power naps. Like, wouldn't it be nice to rest your head for 15 minutes and instantly feel refreshed? But no - every 15 minute nap turns into a 30 minute nap, which turns into an hour-long nap, and before you know it you've missed half the day.

4. Window shopping

Why do I always find the cutest clothes at stores when I'm broke? Of course when I actually have money, I never find anything I like. Window shopping is so enticing, yet so terribly disappointing at the same time.

5. Having just one (1) cookie.

Unfathomable.
