This is what I came in here to say. I try my best to sympathize with people when they say they have one, but I really have no frame of reference to go on. I must say though, from the stories I’ve heard, it does not sound pleasant.

never said “I love you” to my father
I highly recommend you try 80% of your list.
As for me, I’ve never been camping, and I never will.
I’ve never given a reach-around to a spider monkey while humming the national anthem.
What…? Oh.
I’m a teetotaler, so there’s that…
I’ll throw a few more out there…

I guess for me it’d be “smoked marijuana”. I’d really like to try it, but every place I’ve ever worked has had really strict and draconian drug screening. As in - test positive once, you’re fired. No questions, no appeals. And I’ve been “randomly” screened dozens of times.
Pity. But I’ve reluctantly decided that the work was more important than the new experience.
…but fuck, I really want to try it. Oh well.
