Me too! Hate it.
I think I missed the teenager/young adult section of my life.
I’m 21 and I don’t like the taste of alcohol, and I feel ill for the next three days if I stay up all night. I enjoy talking to people (being friends with people) 10 or more years older than me rather than people my own age (except my SO!). I can’t stand superficiality.
I did miss the memo that I shouldn’t still like spending hours playing with puppies. And eating all the mixture before it’s made into a cake.
I second the ones about smalltalk, coffee, and sports. The closest I’ve come is “I’m fine, and you?” a frappuccino, and a coma-like stare, respectively. But I’m only eighteen, so perhaps those three were just back-ordered. I guess you could say that starting to like girls is an upgrade that most guys got a few years back, but I don’t really want that one, so I hope they actually ran out of those.
I think you may have misunderstood stepensel regarding spelling. If you ask me how to spell something, I can usually tell you, but only if I write it down first, then read off the letters to you one at a time. Also, if you say (verbally), “Is this right? R, E, S, T, U, R, A, N, T?” I will have no idea. If you pass me a note that says “Is this right? resturant” I will say almost instantly, “No, you’re missing an A.” If I understood stepensel right, (s)he is the same way.
I missed the coffee one, too.
The main ones I missed were the small talk one, the oral diarrhea one, and the one about other people not wanting you to show them everything that you got at the store yesterday. They really don’t care. But, due to the missing the oral diarrhea one, I realize this AFTER I tell them! :smack:
I missed the one that makes you stop laughing at mean humor. I act sophisticated and sympathetic, but there is really nothing that makes me laugh harder than seeing a man take a softball to the groin and then fall down, writhing in pain.
I missed the upgrade that makes you enjoy alcohol. The only alcohol I can stand is alcopops, because it tastes like soda. The only difference is that soda is 10 times cheaper and doesn’t reek of alcohol. So… yeah. Can’t stand the stuff.
All the men in my family missed this one too–are you sure there is such a patch? They are always asking me, “Where’s my pen?” “Where are my socks?” “Where’s my scooter?” as if they think I am secretly using these things and hiding them.
As far as female upgrades, I missed the ones where you suddenly like to cook, clean up the house, and basically nurture people, along with the one where you like to shop, meaning strolling aimlessly through an endless succession of stores fingering the merchandise. I like to buy things. but I prefer to do it in a streamlined way.
Another one who missed the “Smalltalk” upgrade (although at one point I did know the computer language! :rolleyes: )
I also missed both the “figuring out what this woman thinks of you” and the “figuring out how to play the office politics game” upgrades 
I also (thankfully) missed the “putting a burning piece of paper in your mouth and sucking on it” :eek: upgrade (what some people call “smoking”). Now that’s one upgrade I’m glad I missed!
I do do coffee, alcohol (in moderation) and veggies (no, not the veggies you can smoke. Just the veggies you eat!)
Me too! I am terribly untidy.
You’re right, there is no logic behind it, unless you’re having people over and you’re giving tours of the house.
I missed the upgrade that would allow me to study or spend a lot of time on subjects I’m not interested in.
I’m another one who missed the small-talk, math and office politics patches. I must have been absent that day.
Maybe I should enable Live Update, because I seem to need a patch for Putting Up With People’s Bullshit. The older I get, the less well it works.
I missed the one where you can eat without getting crumbs everywhere.
I really missed the one which makes you able to do things before the last minute without having people nag you about it.
I also missed the one which makes your brain run in a logical fashion. The way my brain works doesn’t even make sense to me at times.
And speaking of losing things, I wish I hadn’t missed the one which allows me to be able to rememeber where I left my glasses when I took them off. Fortunately I have a spare pair I can use to look for them.
Being an art student (note, ART, not artS), I think I also missed the upgrade that makes me enjoy decorating my books, shoes, walls and folders with artistic, flowery designs. I just can’t be buggered.
I got the “you’ll like coffee” upgrade way early. I’ve always liked it. On the other hand, I think I missed the “growing up” upgrade. I still laugh out out at Spongebob, Dave the Barbarian, Tick, and old Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Oh, you guys are just scvrewing around. “I missed not liking vegetables”? Everyone hates at least some vegetables. “I still like cartoons”? Gosh, that’s unusual. Not!
Here’s one for you: I can’t drink water. Everyone else I know drinks water, but I simply can’t stand it. I find water absolutely repulsive. Now, that’s a big part of the program to miss out on.
But … but … it’s water. You kinda need to, Idunno, live, and stuff. Hey, what do I know. Maybe you have a mutation that completely changes your biochemistry and your body is 80% tapioca pudding instead.
My brother missed the upgrade “Phonics”.
I got that upgrade, but uninstalled it when I got to college with no dishwasher.
A doper after my own heart.
I don’t see the point to making one’s bed immediately after getting up.
I missed the one where you stop having giggly crushes about cute women you see all the time.
Oddly, I can have normal adult relationships, so I think they’re two separate upgrades.
All drinks are mostly water. Juice, pop, milk. I get my water by drinking those.
