A character on Everybody Loves Raymond claims he has never eaten a muffin.
What is the commonest activity that you have never done?
I have never:
[ul]
How about you? Have you never eaten a muffin?
Have you never been mellow?
Let’s anoint a thread winner; mine don’t seem common enough.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I’ve never:
But the most common thing that a lot of people have done that I haven’t is this:
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
Looks like 57 percent  of people haven’t done that.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Never eaten lobster
Never eaten sushi
Never owned a pet bird
Never traveled outside the US borders

              Never changed a diaper or fed a baby.
Maybe these are only “common” activities for women.  (I am a woman.)

              Of the five things on the OPs list, getting fired is the only thing I HAVE done.
I’ve never texted, nor held in my hand a device capable of texting.
I’ve never been to a funeral.  Although I’ve probably outlived more than half the people I’ve ever known.
I don’t think I’ve ever opened a bottle of water.
I’ve never consumed anything sold by Starbucks or any similar enterprise.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I have never had a cup of coffee.

Of all the examples so far these are the only ones I haven’t done. And I’m not sure about the “been fired” because someone fired me by mistake once only to have their manager re-hire me a couple days later, and I did get laid off once when the contract I was on needed fewer people.

I have never:
Gone fishing 
Seen ‘The Sound of Music’ 
Owned a dog 
 
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I have never lived in a house which wasn’t owned by a person to whom I’m related. [I have lived in five houses with four different owners. I have owned two of the houses.]

              Drink beer, in spite of appearances.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Smoked a cigarette.  Or, at least, not one with tobacco in it.
Ordered coffee at Starbucks.  Or anywhere else, for that matter.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              
Looks like we have three front runners now. Though plenty of people haven’t had beer before. I’ve tried coffee a time or two and hated it.
             
            
              
            
           
          
            
            
              Never had sex.
Never flown on an airplane.
Never broken a bone.

              Never rolled a joint.
