Well, as you might figure out from reading the title, what things have you swore that you'd never do but ended up doing anyways?
 
I'll start, this one is pretty obvious though, but as a kid I swore to myself I was never gonna smoke. Now, did I end up doing it? Of course I did...
 
Remember, this could be anything! Any little promise you have broken and feel would be interesting to share with the users of GB.

It's funny, I never promised myself that I would never smoke, drink, or do any drugs, but I still ended up not really doing any of it anyway (there's a difference between 'having a drink' and 'drinking').  

I have a list of 'popular' movies that I refuse to watch because I think they're stupid. However, sometime in highschool I was forced to watch Finding Nemo. God, I'll never understand what entertainment value that movie was supposed to have. There are plenty of other family movies that don't insult the intelligence of its viewers with Ellen DeGeneres overdose.

I still haven't smoked a cig, and don't plan to start. I can't afford it, and I wouldn't like the fact that after 4 hours of work I would turn into a massive douche until I got my fix. But I smoke cigars every now and then... did I break my promise? Nah.

I swore I'd never wear a business suit. I fuckin hate suits.
Had to wear one eventually for a conference :(
On the plus side I did not go for the boring black with white shirt, bought a nice shiny grey one with a black shirt, looks sexy, still hate suits.

@Titl:
I never made myself a promise not to watch them, but didn't exactly plan too watch them either. Never the less, I have seen both films, and I tell you, it is freaking hilarious! Especially if you gather a bunch of good dudes, crack open some beers and just prepare yourself for a good couple of hours with nagging and complaining about everyday girl problem bullshit.
 
The vampire stuff is just there to make it seem more compelling, it is not... But for God's sake, if you've made a promise not too watch them, don't! Even though its fun to judge stupid ass movies, its not worth it.

Do you have any idea how god damn stupid that is? I never judge a film until I see it. You shouldn't neither.
 
And for the record, Finding Nemo's charms lie in its excellent characters, great plot, subtle humour and fantastic visuals.  I've never even heard of "Ellen" outside of the film.

I went travelling for a bit and when we got to new zealand a few guys were all up for going skydiving. I have a fear of heights and flying so i knew i would never do it... but then i got drunk and paid my £200 pounds to do it... and i sure as hell wasn't going to go through a load of shit to get that money back which could have lasted weeks, which was something i didn't need on top of all the stress of organising for the first time without parents around. So i did it! 
 
and i think i may be a little traumatised from it ahahhah

@MysteriousBob:
I do not claim infallibility, but I do believe that covers generally do give a good indication of what's inside a book. And in this case, trailers say a lot about a movie. But I'll be honest, I neither watch nor care enough about cinema as a whole for what I'm potentially missing to really matter. An example where I originally avoided a movie and then ended up seeing it and enjoying it was Pirates of the Carribean. I wasn't sure how fun a movie about drunken Johnny Depp could actually be.
 
However, my preconceptions about Finding Nemo being a waste of (my) time were confirmed as I saw it. Ellen DeGeneres is already one of the most annoying people in the world even when she's not starring in a kids animated movie. That they cast her as a spastic, loony fish was a shame, because I might have actually enjoyed a spastic, loony fish played by someone that wasn't Ellen Degeneres.
 
And the humor is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Yes, these movies intentionally have 'humor' that goes above the heads of the child audience, but that doesn't make it subtle, or funny, for the rest of us. Or I should say, not for me. 
 
EDIT: When I say 'these' movies, I am talking explicitly about the new phenomenon of high budget animated films with current celebrities doing the voices. The few of them I've seen I have not enjoyed, but none less than Finding Nemo.

Drink alcohol. Well, thats kind of hard to do when you live in Europe, and you are constantly surrounded by alcohol, pubs and beautiful women. (Which you can generally only get if you drink the alcohol...)

@SPACETURTLE: 
I totally see your point, and i am usually not the judging type. But i really have a problem with Twilight, not so much the movies per se. What they stand for, and what they have become are the things that are bothering me. It's sort of the same with Avatar, even though i personally think it, at least, brought something new to the table (the visuals).  
 
they are both below average movies/ franchises that does not deserve the amount of attention they have been getting. (i mean some people have learned the Na'vi "language"...) 
 
i don't have a problem with those movies existing, i just do not wanna watch Twilight..

Smoking weed and getting drunk. The latter was the worst, because I always told my friend that I felt uncomfortable when they would drink (especially in regards to my lady best friend), yet I did it anyway. 
 
My friends know that I'm a hypocrite and an asshole. But my friends are assholes anyway, so fuck 'em.

Why so many people saying drinking 
 
I'm pretty sure getting drunk isn't a bad thing to do... as long as you don't drive, operate machinery, etc.

@ MysteriousBob
 
 1. Trailers are designed to sell you a product. 2. I look at trailers to see if I might be interested in seeing a movie. 3. If the trailer does not sell me on a movie I won't go. 4. Never dismissed a movie because of its trailer and been upset later. 5. The one time I ignored my trailer rule I ended up seeing Avatar.
 
So might seem dumb to you but the trailers frequently are what your supposed to judge a movie on and if they fail in selling you the movie not going is not stupid it's probably smart.

Nothing really, I'm 18 and don't smoke, the last time I drank was last August. I don't actually have any problems with drinking, it's just that if I don't want to why should I?
 Last night I made a promise to myself to cut back on the amount of coke I drink. I wonder how long that will last.

Just 16, so I suppose I haven't had enough time to betray myself yet.  I do hope that, in the future, I'll maintain my own promises.

After Gold and Silver I vowed not to play pokemon games again. 
 
Now I'm gearing up to play those again on the DS soon, and yes, I have beaten everything in between. Goddammit. 
  
And yeah of course as a kid I was totally against weed and booze, but that stuff inevitably changed, though the weed stuff I came in a good 3 years later than everyone else, so at least that held out a little bit.

What's with everyone swearing to never drink? Might be that I'm from a country that's a-okay with drinking, but man, no one I know has made that promise here.
 
As for me, I promised myself to never watch or read the Twilight series. Will it happen at some point? Most likely.

I've sworn to not do lots of things, and have ended up doing all of them. Now I swear never to swear off of anything again, so at least I don't have to be a self-deluded wimp anymore.
