I have never eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The combination just doesn’t sound good to me.
I have never set foot on a golf course.
Might I try either of the two some day? Possibly.
I’ve never had a meal delivered to my home, including a pizza.
I’ve been to Costco twice. Once when I was traveling and a second time when they opened one near where I live. In both cases, I walked around to see what they were like. I didn’t buy anything.
I’ve never been to Europe or Asia or South America or Africa. The only two countries I’ve ever visited are the United States and Canada.
I’ve never been west of San Antonio, Texas. So I’ve never been to Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon or Las Vegas or California or Hawaii.
I’ve never watched American Graffiti, ET, The Goonies, or Gremlins. I’ve never watched Chinatown, Midnight Cowboy, North by Northwest, On the Waterfront, The Shawshank Redemption, The Silence of the Lambs, Singin in the Rain, The Sixth Sense, Stand by Me, Unforgiven, or Vertigo. I’ve never watched any of the Batman movies or the Fast & Furious movies or the Harry Potter movies.
I’ve never seen an episode of Battlestar Galactica, Breaking Bad, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Game of Thrones, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mad Men, Modern Family, The Office, Parks & Recreation, or Stranger Things.
Really? How do you manage that? That seems unlikely without severe kookery going on. I’m having a hard time believing you’ve never had an ear infection, strep throat, sinus infection, or any of the other myriad of conditions that people are regularly prescribed medication to treat.
Or for some strange reason, refuse to take medication or go to the doctor when you do.
I thought I was boring but reading some of these replies, I’m a wild one.
I can appreciate this, as I’ve pretty much weaned myself off commercial TV entirely. On the rare occasions when my TV gets turned on, it’s to watch a commercial-free movie (or in some rare cases, a commercial-free TV series, like the remastering of Seinfeld in HD). You should also add Friends to that list. I don’t think I’ve seen even one episode of that Seinfeld knock-off.
But I’ll just say, with all respect to a valued fellow poster, that you may not know what you’re missing in Seinfeld. Yes, yes, there are annoyances. Jerry absolutely cannot act, but he’s so forthright and honest in admitting it that one can even forgive his perpetual smirk. And the writing is often so brilliant that one can even forgive the pompous self-importance that the writers and cast eventually and inevitably acquired as the show grew immensely popular (“popularity” most definitely does not mean “good”, but it doesn’t necessarily mean “bad”, either).
But dang, I’ve just concluded watching the series for at least the third or more likely the fourth or fifth time for many episodes, and it’s still wonderfully enjoyable despite some of its obvious faults. The episodes vary wildly in their tone and comedic depth – and were indeed scripted by many different writers – and I suspect that those who claim they didn’t enjoy it didn’t get a sufficiently broad sampling.
Haven’t been to Costco, though I’ve belonged to both Sam’s Club and BJs.
Haven’t been to a cinema since 2012, or watched TV since around 2014 (both of which were rare occasions even before those dates), so there are many wildly popular (or even unpopular) shows I’ve never watched and undoubtedly never will. Speaking of movies, I’ve never seen Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz, though I did once see a couple minutes’ worth of Gone with the Wind.
Haven’t used my cell phone for anything other than making a phone call or checking the time/day. (I have received a few texts from my wife and kids, but don’t even know how to send one. Haven’t even looked at the manual to see how to operate the camera.)
Haven’t used Uber or DoorDash, or any of their competitors.
Don’t have Alexa or anything like it, either.
Closest I’ve been to going on a cruise is a two-hour whale-watching excursion. Unless. of course, you count many, many weeks under water while I was in the Navy.
Read the fads thread, and never even heard of a lot of those.
We do shop at WalMart, but chiefly for groceries – they’re much cheaper than any of the regular supermarkets in this area and carry things/brands we like that the commissary doesn’t sell.
No kookery afoot. I am very pro-science, pro-medicine, and pro-pharmaceutical. I’ve just never taken anything, or have had anything prescribed.
That’s a crazy run of luck then! I’d say it’s safe to say that most Western people have had some minimal number of things they’ve been prescribed for like throat/ear infections as children, skin conditions, allergies (for those of us old enough to remember pre-Claritin days), and other stuff like that.
Ok I understand the first part. In my area it’s almost always very quick but you won’t know it until you order. As for the rest it’s set up to be completely idiot proof to pay and leave a tip. Much easier than ordering directly from a place that has delivery. I have no idea what you are doing to make this difficult for yourself.
Possibly just my unfamiliarity with the process used with those portable devices the drivers carry. I have no problem with them in restaurants. And even easier when I pick up Chinese takeout from the local place, I tap my card, pick up the bag, and leave.
I can’t speak for all cities, but in the vast majority of places I’ve taken a Taxi, the experience was unpleasant, sometimes extremely unpleasant. Smelly cars, bad drivers, rip off detours. I’ve never had a bad experience in an Uber. For me, it’s light years better.
I’ve never used Uber Eats or other food delivery. (hell, we don’t even get pizza delivered). I have no objection to the idea, and I don’t care about the fees (although maybe they’re really high?) I’m not sure we have access where we live, and my wife doesn’t like strangers to know we exist.) If we’re home, I’ll drive to go get something and bring it back. If I’m in a hotel, I’ll order room service, but not food delivery. Don’t ask me why.
(Emphasis added.)
Oh, crap, you just reminded of something! About five years ago I was prescribed some Fluorouracil cream for my (sun-damaged) arms. So scratch that claim. 
Well, when I had to pick up my car from a shop a fairly short distance away ( a short cab ride, though a bit too far for me to walk) my “Uber experience” was basically “fuck off, we don’t like your phone’s version of Android”. They could not be summoned. Did not want my business.
My taxi experience, invoked by the “telephone” (kids, look up the definition of “telephone” in a dictionary, which I’m sure will in the form of an online dictionary “app” on your phone) was “we’ll be there in about ten minutes”. I apologized to the taxi driver, who did not emit any foul odor, and he said no problem for the very short ride; he said had a lot of those. In the course of making small talk, I asked him about Uber, and he said that although the taxi companies and Uber drivers were technically in competition, they mostly all knew each other and hung out together.
Alcohol. It’s so damned bitter I have trouble understanding why anyone would drink the stuff.
Never been to Costco. My sister loves the place, and talks about how much she can save there, and I should join. But she has a family, and I don’t, and thus I have no need to buy “family-size” items.
Never taken an Uber. There aren’t many in my little city, and of those that there are, next to none operate when you really need them. Sunday afternoon? Maybe. Sunday night? Never. Far more predictable and efficient to use the invention mentioned upthread (the “telephone”) to call another invention (a “taxi”), which operates 24/7/365.
Nor have I used Uber Eats, or similar. I pretty much only get pizza or Chinese delivered, and the places I order from offer their own delivery. I see no need to use a middleman.
Were you trying to drink pure grain alcohol, or what? Is a beautifully smooth Merlot “bitter”? Could anyone possibly imagine Bailey’s Irish Cream to be anything other than heavenly smooth? That Drambuie could be “bitter” – I happen to like it, but those who object to it object to the cloying sweetness of honey. This is bitter? Expand your horizons, my friend, expand your horizons. And then … discover the wonders of Caesars! 
So much more in common than I had imagined! Yes! There are others like me out there!
So most of the stuff I’ve seen listed does not apply to me. I mean, for example I avoid Walmart and probably haven’t set foot in one in close to twenty years, but I’ve still shopped there a couple of times when I was desperately looking for something in a time crunch. Big fan of Costco and have a membership, even though I rarely shop there ( my TV and a couple of major appliances are from Costco). I’m a big consumer of media, so it’s fair to say I’ve watched at least an episode or two of all the TV shows I see listed, probably ditto for movies, books, etcetera. I’ve never registered or used the apps for stuff like Twitter, Tiktok and Instagram, but when they were still free to read I’ve done that many times. I’ve spent plenty of time on Reddit, though read-only, no posting.
Things I haven’t done which is partially an age/stage of life thing - like many I’ve never used a food delivery app for delivery and like a few no transportation apps. I pick up my own takeout (including pizza) and I drive myself everywhere. I expect some day I will abandon the latter when it becomes convenient/necessary, but not for now.
No Alexa, no Siri - I inefficiently prefer to look up stuff myself and in particular I have a slight old man shyness aversion to talking to my phone/computer in public.
Never been on a cruise, like others I find the idea off-putting in general. But I can imagine going on one of those small specialty boat tours of the Galapagos or something, so I wouldn’t rule it out. Also at some point I think we’re starting to edge out of hugely common shared experiences. I mean, there’s a billion things I haven’t done, but I kinda doubt bungee-jumping or sky-diving are all that universal 
.
Bitter, all of it. You can mask it with coffee, Coca-Cola, whatever, but alcohol is bitter to me. Just horrible-tasting stuff.
Wine: Bitter
Beer: Bitter
Whiskey: Bitter
Pretty sure the things you mentioned are bitter too.
That is absolutely fine to believe that. And there is no reason you oughta try to find an alcohol you like. But there is a long history of mixing alcohol with substances to hide its flavor. As well as how strong you mix it. It is hard to imagine anyone with functioning taste buds saying a White Russian or a Pina Colada is bitter.
I mean, it could just be that my taste buds register alcohol as bitter. And I’m married to a woman born in Russia and her White Russians are, in fact, bitter. To me.
