25 Bummers and Blunders to Avoid at All Costs
Don’t let these happen to you
Treat these like pine trees on your ski trail down the mountain of life. Apologies for putting them here and giving you something to avoid, but we promise we’re putting them here as “what not to dos.” Maybe it’s best to think of them big orange cones in front of these pine trees you’re trying to avoid. Of course, you also don’t want to hit big orange cones while barreling down a mountain.
We’ve completely lost our point, which has most likely turned this pre-list blurb into a failure of its own, but the goal here is to show you a big ol’ list of fails and bails. If those happen to be directly under this blurb then we’ll consider that a success!
