Once bitten twice shy.

A person won’t do something a second time because he/she had bad experience the first time.

Example: I won’t try this drink, because last time I had a burning sensation in my throat. Once bitten twice shy, I guess. 

 

What to call if someone made the same mistake 3 times? 

A ture idiot!
