I’ve never been fishing, despite the fact that my brother, father, grandmother, (future) mother-in-law and (future) grandmother-in-law are all avid fishers. They’ve threatened to tie me up and take me down to the ocean to fish just once, so I can say that I’ve tried it. ---

Since I was about 16 I’ve never been single for more than about 5 days. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, either. For the record, I’m 25 now, and happily married to the man of my dreams. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stuff-youve-never-done-but-everyone-else-has/170350.md?page=2)
