One should try everything once, with the possible exception of incest and folk dancing...

But I'm willing to forego the Scrumpy/Vodka chasers... I like my liver too much.

Sit on a yellow jackets nest. No, wait, that's not something you should do only once. You shouldn't do it at all. Take my word for it.

Parachute jump out of a perfectly good, flying, airplane.

Be shot at with hostile intent.

Come to think of it, I don't recommend doing either of these even once....

The latter.

I would also include cleaning teeth with 'Deep Heat' muscle rub - the tube looked very similar to my toothpaste when I was 4 and couldn't read. It's given me a lifelong allergy to any muscle rub - one sniff has me feeling queasy. Having to apply it to another bodypart or person, will make me heave in a spectacular fashion.

Is this thread of things one SHOULD do, but only once, or for things one should NOT do, but might do one time before one learns better?


Several of the answers here seem to be of the latter.

Brush your teeth using a tube of Bryllcreem (which looks VERY like Pepsodent).

Mistake a clove of garlic for a bud of garlic. (an hour with tweezers can undo the worst of that one).

Carelessly unroll your sleeping bag over an ant's nest.

Elfcall, there was something in the way... when I sneeze, I habitually turn my head into my right shoulder.

As for sewing, not even once.

I'd worry if I had to do that more than once. (Unless my family name was Dracula).

Break your elbow. Mind you, I don't need to do it now, he's done it for me.

Have your entire lower back seize up/spasm.

Spray paint the concrete foundation near the new car.

Drop a $25.00 pizza on the bosses feet.

Ship violin bows in a carpet tube. Use PVC instead.

Crash your motorcycle. (Son did that one for me)

Use Feria brand hair colouring.

Bury your parents.

The thought of you sneezing with a mouthful of tacks and needles has had me smiling away to myself - hope there was nothing living in front of you when you did it.

I can sympathize with the sewing ordeal.

When my sister planned her wedding, her bridesmaids all agreed to make their gowns, so she bought patterns and materials for each of them about three months before the date. Four days before the wedding, three of them admitted the "didn't get around to it," so my mother, sister, and I made them in a very frantic "one night stand" (with only approximate fitting dimensions of course).

(As we had only mom's foot-treadle straight stitch Singer sewing machine, I got to do lots of hand stitching on "detail stuff.")

The next day, my sister informed us that she had forgotten about the "flowers" so I got to make her 300 "Kleenex carnations" while the rest of the tribe was at rehearsals and such.

The wedding was lovely. The groom eventually was sort of a dud, but I guess you can't make everything perfect on such short notice.

You see Liz dear.....your tits are still very prominent! Part of Mudcat folklore so to speak.

I like to treat my tits. They repay me by behaving in an amusing manner, hanging upside down and singing cheery little trills in the mornings. They've gone off me since I put somthing different than sunflower seeds in the feeder, so that's something else I'm only going to do once!

Ever had one of those days when you think maybe this wasn't such a good idea?

Things you should only do once.

Agree to make 5 costumes for a school play when there are only 5 days before the performance.

Sew black zips into black fabric with black thread when it's late and you're tired.

Sneeze with a mouth full of pins or tacks.

Agree to sing at a wedding in a posh venue and realise you have nothing suitable to wear that isn't black or rainbow striped.

Waste time on the Mudcat when you should be unpicking and restitching all last night's mistakes!
