    Yes. A few times. Some has good outcomes. Others *kitten* outcomes. One took nine years before I got out and fixed it.

    I'd say 90% of my hasty decisions in life have involved jobs.
    Jobs I'd just started, hated, and didn't picture myself working there long-term.
    Whether the telemarketing gig when I was 16 or a crazy legal office at 35, I've never once regretted quitting any of those jobs.

    Fortunately I only have one real gap in my resume despite there being a lot of these...

    Many, I'm very indecisive so I often choose at the last minute or if put on the spot.

    Usually the outcome is fine, it's a choice and when it comes down to the actual choice, being hasty or spur of the moment is usually my gut feeling or what I truly want to try...even if I regret it after and wish I had made another choice.

    A few times tho I did with terrible consequences, one in particular that I regret everyday.

    You never know, especially if you don't try, then it's just stuck in your head.

    I suppose once would be enough for such an undertaking.

    Yes. Sometimes the outcome is ok, but mostly impulsive decisions lead to crappy outcomes.

    All the time. haha
    With small things, like impulse buys at the grocery store, to big things like moving to a new apartment or getting a new car.
    I am less impulsive now than I used to be, and try to think things through more. But for the most part, I kinda like being impulsive about a lot of things.

    I made a hasty decision to have tacos for dinner tonight.

    Yes. Before kids, many of my wife and my travel plans were pretty impulsive. Sometimes we'd wake up on a Friday morning and decide we're going to Colorado or something for the weekend. Some were a tad more planned out, but still impulsive...like, "let's fly to San Diego for the weekend sometime this month."

    During the 2016 football season, the Packers beat the Cowboys in the divisional playoff game...my BIL called me up about 2 minutes after the game ended and told me he was taking my nephew to the NFC championship game in Atlanta and was online to buy game tickets and wanted to know if I wanted to go and bring my oldest son with me (he's a big Packers fan). No time to think...just do it.

    I had a moment of regret the following morning because the plane tickets last minute were pretty expensive...but it was all so worth it in the end. Even though the Packers lost, my kid had the biggest grin on his face the whole time and he still talks about it.
