Like many of you, for some unknown reason, I've had to learn many, many lessons the hard way.

Someone tells you not to do something, but you just have to anyway.....

Share those stories and the lesson learned.

Thought I was invincible at my job. I had a lot of freedom and a big head at the time. I was caught at home during work hours. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, maybe a warning or a few days suspension (a wake up call).

I was fired and denied unemployment. I lost a lot and got myself into a lot of debt. I was unable to find a job for 4 months, bills were stacking quickly. My truck was repossessed at the time. I got a new job and I'm working up the ladder once again.

Lesson learned, don't take shit for granted and luxury isn't that great. Cherish what you have now.

Pretty damn good advice

I've learned not to run up the ladder wells on an aircraft carrier too quickly, otherwise one may become concussed.
