I should have turned right instead of left.

Been there, done that.

im sorry!

I would have told someone.

what was on the right?

A tree

hmmm...

The day I found out Santa Claus wasn't real. Ruined me for life.

there, there poor baby

If I could time travel to fix "the one thing," I would go back to February 2005 and move somewhere else to move other than where I chose. This would ripple into me never getting the job I had, where I later met my psychotic ex-girlfriend, and over 3 years of pain and misery. So yes, our choices can create ripple effects.

yup

I would have not gotten married. Big Boo boo

should have listened to my instincts instead of my heart!

My Parents,
But i guess that was out of my control>

Where we're going...we don't need roads.

Sorry, you said time travel, and that quote from Back to the Future popped into my head.

Because of the ripple effect - not a thing.

This was a couple of years ago.

I went fishing, and I love fishing for predator fish, i was going for a pike. So I had everything all set, and I just trusted my instinct and my "expert" knowledge of fishing (over 25yrs), that I'm a good fisherman and it's a lot more exciting to use a much thinner and weaker line, than a stronger one, that's just not as "sporty" just to reel out that fish so easily, let him have some chance, right?
So anyway, using a bait almost the size of my hand and using a floater, it was running around just as he should...perfect snack for a big pike, and I was sure there is no way any pike would not notice such an easy and yummy prey, dangling around helplessly about 2 feet under the surface.

So, the excitement kinda wore me out (I had my fantasy seeing the pike coming up and grabbing that little minnow like the shark did in the shark movies..doo do doo doo do do ..and you know the camera is like the eye of the shark as he approaches the prey...hehe..) so yeah, after like a half'n hour and nothing is happening, I got tired of watching the damn floater dancing around as the little minnow try to escape off the hook..

And then..the floater stopped. I'm like "damn that little bastard got off the hook!" But no...it started to move in a strange way.
Huge jerks on it downward and I KNEW IT...he is there and he is big, because that minnow is huge, and pulling on it like that cannot be a small one.
So I waited ...you know the rule when fishing for pike or valleys is that you must give him enough time to have the fish completely in his mouth, otherwise I'm just gonna end up jerking the bait right off from his face.

So then...the downard jerking stopped and it almost made a full circle around, when it begun to move to left. As it moved, it started to pick up speed and it was sinking like a submarine, like in a perfect angle..
I know I was sweating and shaking at the same time, and I was already holding the fishing rod ..and that golf ball in my throat feeling, that "this is it", it's a big boy, I can't screw this up!

So I striked and it felt like just like I caught a submarine, because it started to twist the rod out of my hand as I was quickly adjusting the brake on my reel, not to have the line or rod to snap.
After 10 minutes of tiring the fish..finally it was close enough to see for just one second what I'm dealing with, and this huge silver-green body flashed in the depth, damn....I'm like, there is no way I'm gonna get this one out...

And I didn't. Another 5 min of walking the fish (more like him walking me) the line snapped. I was just sitting and looking at the end of snapped line floating in the wind and tried to see where my fish has gone, maybe if the floater still visible, but it was gone.


Now..
I wish I had changed my fishing line to a stronger one for that day.

The ripple effect would be, that I would probably have a picture of it, and it would be with my profile pictures..and yeah I would have probably eaten fish on that day.

if i could change 1 thing in my past it would be to kick my sisters exhusband right in the balls for cheating on my sister

I wouldn't have shaved this morning

Ditto. Worst move ever....!!
