My anti-bucket list includes seeing a Wagner opera live; not only is it opera but it is likely more than 4 hours long.

Yep. I guess when the tattoo fad was starting, it was cool to have a tattoo but now more people have tattoos than not so at some point I expect it will become cool to not have tattoos.
Going to a nightclub. Deafening noise, blinding lights, strangers dancing all over you. I honestly cannot see why anyone would want something like this. Of course I abhor the kind of music DJs play but I think I`d be equally disturbed if they played Bach that loud.

Congratulations on 23 years! Regarding the children...do you mean having children? Having children is not something normally on peoples bucket list.

This wasn't on my list but I did it anyway because the weather got too bad to spend another day in the Zion national park...

Oh, how I wish I’d never started. I’ve set a date of 1st August this year. I’ve managed 2-years, and 6-months at different times, and stopped during Covid lockdown. Crept back again each time. This Summer it’ll be, “Never again”!
As for the anti-bucket list, like others:
Tattoo
Bungee jump/sky dive/parachute jump
Cruise
And I’ll add:
Eat snails

I believe that is on nature's bucket list.

Have no interest in tattoos however if Nike or Coca-Cola calls me up and offers to pay $1 million dollars to have a corporate logo splashed across my chest: I'm listening.
@Chilham and Becca: I ate escargot on the mega ship Harmony of the Seas and--quoting Tony the Tiger--"They're GREAT!"(both escargot and cruising). I had never really given much thought to cruising before we decided to go on one for our honeymoon but it was a wonderful experience. It's something I would certainly do again what with all of the fine dining and Broadway shows and diverse activities. Believe it or not despite the greater number of people on a mega ship it's so spacious you're spread out from other people and don't feel crammed in together. We will certainly go on another cruise someday.

A few more bucket list ideas down, on that crappy site I was looking at, and I see this one.....
Drink A Guinness In Dublin
The major problem here is that I absolutely hate Guinness. Never liked it at all so why bother going all the way to Dublin (not exactly a cheap place to stay, either) to drink an utterly foul liquid I last sampled at a party around the corner from my house? Personally I'd rather drink brandy (which I despise) from a dog's bowl in Blackpool (a tacky dump). This thread is definitely revealing my grumpy side.

I enjoy drinking Guinness but I don’t hold that against you. The foul liquid at the party around the corner must be serving 🍺 beer mixed with urine but I don’t hold it against them. Drinking Guinness in Dublin is not on my bucket list but eating a taco 🌮 in Mexico actually was and I managed to check off that particular item on an excursion in Mexico during previously mentioned cruise. 😃

Hmm, a 90 minute drive south to cross the border to eat a taco then a 3 hour wait to cross back over the border, not to mention a potential case of Montezuma's Revenge ... I'll pass
As to cruises, whatever floats your boat
P.S. You can get equally good (if not better) Mexican food in San Diego.

I have ate tacos 🌮 in San Diego and I agree those were better than the ones I had in Mexico.

Going to a Super Bowl party.
Buying a juicing machine or any other overpriced gadget advertised on TV.
Going to a stadium for any kind of sporting event or overpriced pseudo musical experience.
Ending up in a nursing home if I live too long.

Well, I'll go along to the extent of going to the Super Bowl, itself. I don't go to many live sporting events, but they can be exciting. I recall two Knicks/Bulls playoff games during the Ewing/Jordan era. And a few years back, I won the Wimbledon lottery and got courtside seats to watch Andy Murray win the Gentlemen's Finals.
