Regret

No amount of suffering will ever make me regret a single thing I have said.

Hym "Hey, I do not nor will I ever regret talking about your vermin kids. They are shit. You are shit. You're telling yourself that pedophiles are going to see this and do something other than molest them harder and that's likely wishful thinking at this point. I won't regret this. I won't regret stabbing up some toddler in his mother's arms at a gas station. And I won't let you steal me shit."

trope of regret

A trope on TV Tropes where a movie has good movie-making quality, but simply not worth the inappropriate contents (violence, coarse language). e.g. Spring Breakers (2012), Deadpool (2016)

I was excited to watch the latest sequel of Deadpool, but it turned out to be a total trope of regret—great visuals, but the nonstop violence and foul language made me wish I’d picked a different film. Also the same back when I watch Spring Breakers when it came out in 2012.

You're going to regret this

What someone says to attempt to shy someone away from a decision they're about to make, especially one that's grandiose. This can be said whether this decision is simply something the person saying this phrase disagrees with, or if it's actually bad. Ironically enough, after saying this, the person who is being targeted with this phrase oftentimes never actually regrets anything.

Person 1: JESUS CHRIST. YOU'RE A STUPID CRYBABY. I REGRET EVER CROSSING PATHS WITH YOU. WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE.
Person 2: Oh yeah? Just you wait! You're going to regret this!
