That “Am I Behind?” thread made me think of this.
Me?
I’ve had a driver’s license for >40 years, and I have never run out of gas. I’ve driven on fumes a few times, but never actually run out.
I have never seen either of the “Top Gun” movies, either.

I’ve never broken a bone. I hope I never experience this particular event.
I have seen very few Disney movies.
Like Aspenglow, I’ve never broken a bone and don’t intend to.
Never had a pet dog or cat.
Was homeschooled, so I missed out on nearly all of the K-12 student experience.
I have never gotten drunk, in the sense of being inebriated. For some reason I quickly get sick and feel unwell with even small amounts, so I never had any time when my judgment was impaired or felt the chill-happy-relaxed feeling people speak of.
Never smoked.
Not missing much there unless you are interested in homoerotic techno-mil porn trying to promote war crimes and massive violations of operational safety standards and the UCMJ masquerading as recruiting propaganda. In the real world, ‘Maverick’ would have had his wings permanently clipped in the first ten minutes of the original movie if not actually in the brig.

I don’t know if it’s cheating because I’m not from the US where it’s most common, but I’ve never eaten or even tasted peanut butter. It’s a rare item here in Germany, but I can imagine how it tastes and don’t intend to. When I first heard about a thing called peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I mentally puked a little, because I can’t imagine anything more sugary and vile.
ETA: and yeah, I’ve also never seen Top Gun and have no interest to. When the original movie came out I was 18 and mature enough to avoid military porn.
Never kissed anybody at midnight on new years. I’m actually kind of neurotic about it now. Like if I’m at a party I’ll leave at 11:50 just in case.
I really can’t remember if I ever kissed anyone at the turning of the year, but I hugged a lot of people.
Never broken a bone.
Never received a traffic ticket, moving or parking.
Never smoked weed or done any drugs.
Probably the most unusual “never” is that I’m 42 years old and have never had anyone I was close to die on me. I know it’s just a matter of time, my grandparents are in their 80s. But I am almost totally inexperienced with death.
(I say almost because both my uncles and my cousin died, but I wasn’t close to them.)
I’ve never laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose, or seen that happen to anyone else.
Woo hoo! I’m feeling pretty worldly so far. ![]()
Of the zillion movies I have watched I have never seen so much as three seconds of E.T. and have no interest in it.
Is running out of gas something that really commonly happens to people? I know it happens a lot on TV and movies, for plot purposes. But it’s never happened to me, and I don’t think that I know anyone that it’s happened to.
Like others, I’ve never had a broken bone. I also never had any of the common “young person” operations. Still have my tonsils and my appendix.
It happened to me once, when I was seventeen, in the dead of winter, on the side of a highway.
Never let it happen again.
Nor me. When I have my colonoscopies, I joke that the sedation is the only fun I ever get.
Never saw a Top Gun movie nor run out of gas. A fellow I worked with years back joked that he learned the hard way that “E” does not stand for “Enough”.
Been tipsy but never to the point of getting sick to my stomach.
I’ve never:
mmm
But have you been to Oklahoma?
Well, they tell me I was born there…
But I really don’t remember.
Gotten a drivers license ( got a temporary)
Smoked, even though I was allowed to at 12.
Ridden a motorcycle ( too risky)
Never got hit by my parents
Cut my hair shorter than my bra line.
Been divorced
Lost my phone.
