regret

Nobody wants to live with regrets, but we all have them. It's nearly impossible to avoid them, because every time we do one thing, we're missing out on another experience. Plus, the grass is always greener on the other side. Those of us that spent college partying and getting bad grades regret not trying hard enough, and those of us who spent every Friday night in the library after-hours regret not partying enough. You can't win! Unless of course, you believe that everything happens for a reason, and you accept that every decision led you to where you are today, and that is exactly where you are meant to be... but that's some deep introspective sh*t.

Being in love can make you do crazy things and make sacrifices you never thought you'd make. But, as anyone who has been in love knows, once that good ol' Oxytocin kicks in, it's goodbye, old sensible self, and hello, brave reckless new self.

This phenomenon of being recklessly in love, was proved in a recent crazy interview with a former journalist named Christie Smythe, who fell in love with Martin Shkreli — the infamous former pharmaceutical fraudster. It describes how Smythe, who, at the time, was married to a successful investment manager, began covering Shkreli's case after he was arrested for various fraud counts. To give you an idea, hiking up a necessary HIV medication price by 5,000 percent was within his repertoire of offenses. He sounds like a standup guy, right? In the interview, Smythe reveals that she left her husband, quit her job, and froze her eggs all for Shkreli, who subsequently broke up with her. The guy is now serving seven years in jail. The story prompted Twitter user @literElly to ask her followers, "In light of the Shkreli story, what is the most ridiculous or embarrassing thing you ever did to be with a partner who wasn't worth it or didn't deserve you?" And oh boy, did the replies come pouring in. Here are some of the best, which are truly relatable AF.

We've all done stupid things before that have cost us time, money, or relationships. Hopefully, each mistake is a learning experience and an opportunity to grow, but when it's a particularly costly mistake, you can bet that it's one you'll NEVER repeat again.

From switching labels on products in stores to sleeping in a car, here are some of the internet's most costly mistakes.
