Things Normal People Do That You Never Do

This too. There is an ice cream plant here and everyone raves about the ice cream, I just don’t see the appeal.

I haven’t been inside a bar in 20 years. I drink occasionally, but never in a bar.

I don’t dance. Ever.

I haven’t been to a movie theater in about 15 years. I like watching movies on DVD but I hate the cinema experience with people kicking the back your seat, gum on the floor, and the reek of artificial butter-flavored popcorn.

I haven’t flown in an airplane in about 20 years. It’s not that I’m afraid to fly but that I don’t like the cramped seats (I’m 6’2") and being stuck in a tin can with a few hundred other coughing, hacking, and crying people for hours at a time.

Have sex.

Haven’t been to a movie in years.

Don’t shop for clothes unless I absolutely have to, then I find some jeans or v-neck t shirts I like and buy a half dozen each. Same with shoes.

Never ever shop for or buy jewelry, make up, or accessories of any kind.

I don’t carry a purse, ever.

Have never had a manicure or pedicure.

Haven’t been to a salon to “get my hair done” since 1999 (when my dad passed).

cher3 - I cut my own. And don’t do my toenails at all. I sometimes do my fingernails, but it’s pretty rare. Know exactly where you’re coming from!

I have never had a manicure or a pedicure.
I can’t stand the thought of a massage.
I don’t own or carry a purse.
I don’t go to the salon to get my hair cut.
I don’t wear jewelry.
I hate shopping, thank goodness for Amazon and Zappos!
I don’t dance.
Last movie theater visit was the 2nd Harry Potter movie.
I don’t drink alcohol or coffee.
I loathe bell peppers.

To name only a few.

I don’t go to a salon, go shopping with friends, take vacations, or watch movies. I would do the vacation thing, though, if we had the money. I don’t willingly talk on the phone unless I’ve had a couple of drinks.

Makeup. Getting nails done. Massages. Dating. Going out with friends. Just a few of the things I don’t do that normal people do.

I’ve never been to Spain . . .

Not care so much.

Me too…

Me too… This almost got me in a fistfight at my sister’s wedding, because, dammit, I don’t dance. (Can’t!)

Me too… Sigh…

Add: I don’t buy lottery tickets. I don’t follow sports. I don’t listen to contemporary music. (It’s Vivaldi all the way!) I’m unchurched.

I read an awful lot!

Goopd grief… so many of theings I never do!

*watch TV

*get my hair done

*look forward to summer (I HATE summer)

*use a cell phone regularly

*have sex (dammit)

*go to the doctor

*have anyone in my house

I am not a normal person.

I don’t really do the salon/manicure/pedicure thing, either. I had a manicure and pedicure once, and it was okay, I guess, but I won’t go out of my way for one. I do paint my toenails, though - I think natural toenails look gross, so I always keep mine painted up nice.

I don’t drink coffee (much), alcohol, or smoke - I like it when I go to my annual physical and my doctor looks vaguely pleased that I’m not doing any of the bad things. :slight_smile:

You’ve reminded me of one - ice cream cakes. I tried to eat a piece of one recently since it was for someone’s birthday, but I just don’t like them. I don’t know why - they just leave me cold (no pun intended).

I don’t watch movies and I don’t play games (except solitaire when I can’t sleep). I don’t watch any TV shows with an actual plot.

I don’t take pictures. No idea why, I just never seen to feel the need to.

It really seems like the not going to salons etc isn’t as odd as people think. FWIW I don’t do any of those things. I don’t drink coffee, or anything caffeinated besides tea. I don’t wear makeup or carry a purse.

Here’s a weird one- I don’t seek alone time at all. Either I’m just an extreme extrovert, or I get too much of it already, or something, I don’t know, but I have simply never actively desired to be alone.

I don’t watch CNN, FOX, or MSNBC. In fact I don’t watch any broadcast news.

Order ‘ordinary’ food in sit-down restaurants. That includes steaks, pastas, and plain side dishes like mashed potatoes. I have never ordered a steak in a restaurant in my life. I am a decent cook and I can certainly make all the steak I want at home better than a restaurant. The same goes for most Italian pasta dishes and plain side dishes. I am always going to pick the thing on the menu that I can’t make well or would find it inconvenient to.

Do you kind of like the music?

I don’t watch football, hockey, tennis, golf, baseball, lacrosse, track or anything to do with the Olympics, bowling, lawn bowling, tiddly winks. . . .

I never follow sports.

I never go to movies theatres.

I never eat dessert. I’m fuckin’ full already.

I never make the dumb, obvious joke. :smack:
