Vent: That ranger in Yosemite told me not to take the shortcut down Cloud's Rest, and I should've listened
He warned me the 1 mile alternate was steep loose scree with no trail markings, but I thought I could save an hour and ended up sliding 30 feet down a rock chute and busting my ankle, does anyone else ignore advice from park staff and regret it instantly?

Yeah sliding down scree sucks. I learned that lesson in the Grand Canyon the hard way too.

Wait, did you read that article about scree in the canyon too? I saw someone post a video of people basically surfing down it on their butts, which looked terrifying but kinda fun. I read that the worst part is when you try to stop and just keep sliding because the rocks are so loose and sharp. Made me glad I stuck to the trail when I was there last fall.
