Minutes of your life you’ll want back

[cyrocksmypants]

Was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts said in passing “those will be the minutes of your life you’ll wish you had back in the end” in response to some regular thing someone did (I think it was in reference to the amount of time people in fandoms spend ******** about the thing they claim to love) and it got me thinking more broadly, what is something you do daily or very regularly that you’re going to wish you had those minutes back at the end of your life?

Other than posting on CF. That’s the low hanging fruit that we all know we’ll regret.

I think everybody in DC is in Iowa knocking on my door now except you. For the record, really annoying to have a 20 year old from Seattle tell me how important my vote is.

You know how many minutes of my life I have watched float away by watching all these damn home remodel shows? Upside is, I think I could remodel and flip my house no problem.

My job fits in this category. Generally great job...wondering if it's that rewarding.

OK...I'll play it straight. I wish all those hours and days and weeks and months studying engineering at Iowa State had been spent doing something more profitable. Like playing guitar or composing rap lyrics.

Same with me except with Naked and Afraid. Sometimes when I'm tired...I wonder if it's because I just need a little protein.

But it's probably because I was up too late watching shows like Naked and Afraid.

I feel like the easy out is saying like, video games that you played or tv shows that you watched, but at the same time, did they bring you joy when you did it? If they did, was that REALLY a waste of time?

Cell phone time wasters, twitter, reddit, facebook, etc.

There's good stuff there but you have to wade through a lot of garbage.

Depends on the opportunity cost. If you're lie one of my roommates that failed out of school because all he did was play WoW? Yeah, that was a waste of time.

You'll miss it when it's gone.

Sitting there. Waiting for people. Why do people think it's alright to make you wait for them? ******* be on time, already.

I spent 4 hours at a city council meeting the other day to have them... table the issue for another day.

First guy to get up to comment was a disheveled bearded man with a T shirt with a message spelled out in electrical tape wearing a dress that appeared to be a curtain. And I thought “Yep, that pretty much nails it.”
