Anti bucket list list

agree with many of these:

cruises - ugh...they're cramped, bacteria-ridden, floating prisons
vegas - not on my own dime, but can be fun in a corporate / conference scenario
miami / south beach...and pretty much florida in general - at this point i only go to visit my in-laws

here's a new one: dubai - for many of the same reason most people hate vegas. it was pretty cool to do once, but so damned expensive and just completely artificial.

Forgot that one! I did it but it's not for me. Absolutely shat my pants, I am too much of a tight arse to have not done it given the NO REFUNDS policy but jesus H, shaking like a dog shitting razor blades.

I probably won't do that again.

Wow must have been towards then ended in 70's?

Join the military. Great Recession job market as college grad ended up pushing me into it for career advancement and gainful employment. I can’t complain too much since it’s helped me open doors but I would advise against it for the sake of it. Super glad I never joined right out of high school which was more of a bucket list idea.
