What is the worst thing you have done?

I read all these comments about New Jersey

I went to advanced training at Job Corps. Edit: forgot to be specific, it was in Edison. Edit 2: apparently not specific enough, Edison is on the East Coast. Edit 3: OKAY I'LL ADMIT IT... it was in New Jersey

What the hell happened in New Jersey

I don’t usually tell this story because it’s embarrassing. But someone asked, so here it is. A few years back, I hit a stretch where everything kind of quietly fell apart. Nothing dramatic—no explosions, no screaming arguments—just that slow, creeping unraveling. Work felt pointless, my relationships were shallow, and I had this constant sense that I was missing something important without knowing what it was. So I did what a lot of people do when they don’t know what else to do: I left. I packed a bag, threw some clothes in the back of my car, and started driving with no real destination. Just… north. I figured maybe if I got far enough away from everything familiar, I’d stumble into some kind of clarity. Or at least a decent roadside diner. Days passed. I crossed state lines I barely registered. I slept in c**** motels, listened to late-night radio, and had those long, aimless thoughts that feel deep at the time but dissolve by morning. Somewhere along the way, my phone stopped working, which felt less like a problem and more like a permission slip. Then one night, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I pulled over near this old wooded area. There was a trailhead, barely marked, just a small sign and a path disappearing into darkness. I don’t know why, but I grabbed a flashlight and went in. The forest was dead quiet. No wind, no animals, just that heavy silence that makes you hyper-aware of your own breathing. I walked for what felt like hours, deeper and deeper, until I came across this small clearing. And in the middle of it… there was a house. Not abandoned, not broken down—just old. Like it had been sitting there, untouched, waiting. A single light was on inside. I should’ve turned around. Every rational instinct said “leave.” But I didn’t. I walked up and knocked. After a long pause, the door opened just a crack. An older man stood there, looking at me like he’d been expecting me. Not surprised. Not confused. Just… patient. He didn’t ask who I was. Didn’t ask what I wanted. He just opened the door wider and said, “Took you long enough.” I went in. We sat at a small wooden table. He poured two cups of something hot—tea, I think—and we talked. Or maybe “talked” isn’t the right word. He asked questions that felt uncomfortably precise. About my life, my choices, the things I avoided thinking about. And somehow, I answered honestly. More honestly than I ever had with anyone. At one point, he leaned forward and said, “You keep looking for a turning point. Something dramatic. But it’s never going to come like that.” I remember asking him what he meant. He smiled, just slightly. “You don’t fall off a cliff. You drift. And one day you realize you’re somewhere you never meant to be.” We sat in silence for a while after that. Eventually, I stood up to leave. I thanked him—though I wasn’t sure for what—and stepped back outside. The forest didn’t feel as heavy anymore. The air felt clearer. I turned around to look at the house one last time. It was gone. Just trees. No clearing. No path back. I stood there for a long time, trying to make sense of it, before finally finding my way out to the road. When I got back to my car, my phone suddenly had signal again. Full bars. I looked at the map. That’s when it hit me. Somewhere along the way… without realizing it… I had ended up in New Jersey.

I feel mad for op this entire comment section is New Jersey because listnookors found that hilarious for some reason

Killed a man. I think it was in New Jersey

Kissed her where it smelled. In New Jersey.

Found myself sitting at Newark, New Jersey airport two years ago for a 5 hour layover. None of the desks' USBs worked nor the electrical outlets. I got so frustrated I left the lounging area and didn't push in my chair. Admitting this has been so therapeutic. I've carried this secret for two years. It felt like a massive "f*** you" to EWR at the time. In retrospect, I feel like a was shitty person. It's similar to feeling shamful for not putting the shopping cart back in a torrential downpour.

Watched a jets game

Looking at the comment section, I have a feeling it’s connected with New Jersey…

I kissed my Grandma who was from New Jersey

My girlfriend is a huge Travis Kelce fan, so I bought her a new jersey.

Thought about bad things that happened to me when there are people out there who have to suffer the existence of New Jersey.

Paid more attention to the female tenant living in my house than my wife. She divorced me. Now that I'm married to another woman, I've promised myself I would never let something like that happen again.

When I was 18, my friend and I were at my grandparents house. I was heavy into my addiction and decided to pilfer through the medicine cabinet. After taking several different medications I started looking through a china cabinet where I stumbled across an envelope full of hundred dollar bills and on the front it had a written tally of the money taken out. I took a couple of the bills and forged the amount taken out. I went back to the medicine cabinet and took more pills and they went back to the envelope and took a couple more hundreds. I continued this over the next couple hours until I decided to just take the whole envelope. The next day, I left my friend at my grandparents house and walked to the mall. I came back home to my grandparents house with bags of new clothes some of which I had stolen because I was so messed up on pills. Fast forward 30 years, I was at my grandparents house for Christmas with all my family. I ran out of heroin, so I started withdrawing bad. I stayed cooped up in my grandparents room writhing in pain while my grandmother massaged me. I ended up coming clean about the envelope. Her reply, oh I had no idea…I don’t even remember having an envelope full of cash stashed away.

What the f*** is happening with the New Jersey ?

Drove through New Jersey

Drove through Ohio on the way to New Jersey. If only I could have skipped the Ohio part.

Had to pay all the tolls in New Jersey and stop at a rest stop there.

ate jersey mikes

Damn… all these answers about New Jersey

For many it will be answering this question.

Honestly? I ghosted someone who didn’t deserve it at all. He was kind, consistent, and genuinely liked me, and I just… disappeared because I got overwhelmed and didn’t know how to communicate it. I still feel bad about it sometimes.

Brit here, what's the deal with New Jersey? 😭

Can’t say

I apologize in advance. When I saw the question it immediately made me think of the goonies… Chunk: But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. Jake Fratelli: I'm beginning to like this kid, Ma!

Told my dad I hated him and his behavior hours before he died.

Nice try FBI

Gave a guy head when I knew he had a girlfriend (I was 20 and an idiot). To answer questions: no, this was not in New Jersey, nor was anyone involved from New Jersey.

Accidentally touched New Jersey on a map

I once got arrested because I sexually harassed myself and called the police on me. Probably my biggest regret tbh.
