Stuff you've never done but everyone else has

Proceed I shall. You just reminded me of something.

I’ve never used a smilie in a post.

Really!

eaten beef jerkey
seen E.T. (No plans to do so)

Hmm, didn’t think of that. Nor have I. I detest the pesky little things.

I’ve never been to a football game. This includes professional, college, and high school.
I’ve never taken an illegal drug.
I’ve never smoked a cigarette.
I’ve never been angry.
I’ve never ridden in a small airplane.
I’ve never played football, baseball, or basketball, even informally.
I’ve never seen E.T. (the movie), Friends, or any of these TV reality shows.
I’ve never cooked.
I’ve never been to Florida.
I’ve never played golf.
I’ve never been scammed or ripped off.
I’ve never been in debt.
I’ve never eaten a tomato.
I’ve never worn cologne.
I’ve never had a pet dog.
I’ve never been in a car wreck.
I’ve never played chess or checkers.
I’ve never played tennis.
I’ve never been fired.
I’ve never been sick (other than getting the common cold).
I’ve never purchased a new car.
I’ve never made a car payment.
I’ve never contemplated suicide.
I’ve never eaten oysters or clams.
I’ve never been skiing.
I’ve never been arrested.
I’ve never had sex with anyone other than my wife.
I’ve never read a Stephen King novel.

Holy cow. I’ve done every single one of those. Not kidding, I read the list 3 times to make sure. The Stephen King one was going to be the spoiler but I remembered I read The Shining in college. We better never get together and touch, something about matter and anti-matter.

What’s funnier is, there are combinations I can make, e.g.

  • I played chess in a detention center after being arested.

Priceguy, I found out that I was allergic when I ate something containing mushrooms as a child. I had a severe reaction and tests were done by an allergist. I do not have any recollection of the taste, and since mushrooms were merely an ingredient, I doubt there really was one.

I’ve never owned a cell phone.
I’ve done everything else.

I’ve never had my own birthday (a twin).
I’ve never had really long hair.
I’ve never been blond.
I’ve never technically played tonsil hockey (got em out when I was two).
I’ve never eaten a salad.
I’ve never eaten plain tomatos.
I’ve never broken a bone.
I’ve never had a cavity.
I’ve never injured myself to the point of stitches. (surgery)
I’ve never dived to the bottom of the pool.
I’ve never gotten pulled over.
I’ve never gotten drunk. (there’s a plot out to change that, for some reason)
I’ve never lived anywhere for more than 5 years.
I’ve never contemplated getting a tounge piercing (everyone I know has).
I’ve never owned a cell phone.
I’ve never gotten a tan.

Never tried heroin
Never sky-dived or bungee-jumped
Never been to Italy
. . . . .
that’s pretty much it.

I’ve never pierced my ears and I never will.

Something I’VE done that probably no one else has is CONSTANTLY have to pull my earlobes forward and say, “SEE???” because people rarely believe me. My virgin lobes are apparently an oddity on par with polydactyly.

I’ve never ridden an amusement ride that involves going upside down
I’ve never eaten pork, turkey, veal, or any fish
I’ve never taken any illegal drug (including marijuana)
I’ve never imbibed any type of hard liquor
I’ve never been arrested
I’ve never flashed anyone (including Mr. tlw)
I’ve never (personally) owned a Wintel computer
I’ve never participated in any “extreme” sport
I’ve never been to Louisiana (odd, I think, since I lived in Mississippi for 18 years)
I’ve never been to a rock concert in a nightclub
I’ve never eaten grape jelly
I’ve never chewed bubble gum
I’ve never skiied
I’ve never owned a cat
I’ve never broken a plate or glass

I’ve never belonged to a gym

Now the weirdest two
I’ve never used a public restroom in NYC (and I’ve lived here for 15 years)
I’ve never cleaned a toilet

And I guess I’ll be the second: I too am a virgin (22).

I have never:

Never been skiing or boarding though I live in Colorado
Never watched Survivor, never plan to.
