What do you wish had an "undo" function?

I just read an article about Gmail introducing an "undo send" feature to Gmail - within a short timeframe you can recall an email that you just realised had been sent to the wrong person, or said something you will later regret.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an "undo" function on other things? Like:

1. You ask a girl out and she turns you down, saying she already has a boyfriend - oh, the embarrassment - Undo! (I really needed this function when I was in my teens)

2. You just posted a picture of yourself downing a beer while dancing on the bar table at three in the morning - Undo!.

3. You just sent a soppy text message declaring your undying love to some girl at three in the morning - Undo!

4. You've just been to an "all you can eat" restaurant, and had "twice as much as you can eat", all of it high in sugar and fats - Undo!

5. You just bought the latest WSO - Undo!

6. I didn't mean to submit this post - Undo!

    I think all politicians should come equipped with an undo button.

      My life?

      An undo function is only worthwhile if followed by a do-over button.

    That chick I met at that party when I was 19. I wish she had an undo button. One night of fun lead to six months of crazy.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      Perfection does not require an 'undo' function. 'Duplicate' would be more beneficial. :-)

            Yeah, but by the time the day was through, I'd feel like I needed to throw up, you know, like after you have too many pieces of really rich chocolate cheesecake.

            It may seem good for a moment, but at the end, I'd regret it.

    Making the mistake of making eye contact (keyboard contact) with an idiot or a lunatic.

    Conversation starts out normal... then the jackalope shows his/her true colors.

    Man I wish I could just UNDO him/her out any collective memory of the interaction.
