25 Things That Were Ruined for Everyone Because One Person Was An Idiot

The summer days of Redditor Nancyis’ youth were once defined by a refreshing dip in their “swimming hole” — at least until one boastful out-of-towner cracked his head open after ignoring their pal’s repeated warnings about jumping in. “We told him not to dive from there, but he did anyway,” Nancyis recalled of the fateful accident. ”So they closed it off for everyone forever!”
Considering he wasn’t seriously injured — “He didn’t die, he just ran and told his Mommy,” they added — Nancyis was naturally peeved at the loss of their swim spot, an experience that’s unfortunately far from unique.
Redditors have recalled other times a single idiot ruined things for everyone else, the wildest stories of which include microwaving metal, short-lived skating rinks and school bathrooms with airport-style security.
