Life can fall apart slowly over time. A few bad habits, even more bad decisions. Missed opportunities. Maybe the wrong crowd, coupled with some questionable relationships...
But other times, it only takes a moment for someone to completely wreck their life. Perhaps it was a poorly-timed comment, a "just-this-one-time" mentality, or even being caught unexpectedly on a Coldplay kiss cam. Whatever the reason, many people have managed to derail their lives at a speed, which is quite astounding.
Someone recently asked, "Who ruined their life the fastest?" and the replies sped in faster than the resignation of Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron. Thousands of people shared stories about years of stability unraveled in an instant.
From silly decisions that led to fatal crashes, acts of self-sabotage that had the worst consequences, and even dumb comments that sent careers spiraling out of control... Bored Panda has put together a list of the most sobering responses for you to scroll through while you think about your own life choices. Many might make you step with caution to avoid doing anything that could alter your path forever.

Maybe not the fastest and the biggest ‘ruin’ but Machine Gun Kelly deserves a honorable mention.
He tried taking shots at Eminem and Em’s response made him quit rap and pursuit emo rock lol.

A guy from my high school beat his mom to death. Not sure if you can say that was the moment his life was ruined because he was already arrested for playing with a gun in the house and grew up just as immature, but killing his mom was the point where he truly resigned all hope for a future.

My brother. Repeatedly hung out with the kids my mom and I told him time and time again that they were not good people and you’ll get in trouble.
Fast forward half a year later and he was arrested with those friends for robbing 3 liquor stores with guns. He only got off because he was what the cops called the bag boy who didn’t hold any weapon or hurt anyone. Well, that and I got him a lawyer who frequently represented organized crime members and got 99% of them off with a slap on the wrist. Him being white we were targeted by my brothers friends family and we were stalked, menaced and had weak molotovs and bricks thrown at our house. We were blamed for being racist and that’s why he got off not understanding that he didn’t even hold a gun, had no priors and his friends were known gang bangers who’ve been known to pressure others into doing things.
Well, anyway he now has a record that will follow him everywhere now.

Not super famous, but definitely notable. The streamer/youtuber Cryaotic.
Had a big following from his YouTube days. Did videos with PewDiePie before switching over to Twitch full-time. He would pull in a good 4000 viewers per.
Then, as I understand it, he started an antidepressant that altered his brain chemistry a bit too much, and he started seeing himself as an activist and hero.
Then he posts a YouTube video where he admits he groomed girls on the internet. Everything cascades from there and he disappeared off the face of the Earth.
