Your parents just said, go for it, and you didn’t?
My dad smoked, said he didn’t want to be a hypocrite, but I did not see the appeal.
This was hard. I’ve done most common things I can think of.
How about:
Never been confirmed, bar mitzvahed, or otherwise become a member of any religious organization.
I’ve never prayed.
Never heard my father say “I love you” (to me or anyone else)
I have never been to any kind of religious service other than for funerals or weddings.
So is this like a game of “never have I ever”? Do those of us who have done these things need to take a drink?
Actually, come to think of it I’ve never played “never have I ever”, so that probably counts for this thread.
I never went to my high school prom.
I’ve never been married.
I’ve never been to a Rock Concert (or whatever the non-geezer term is)
Never seen E.T, Star Wars, any of the Godfather movies.
I’ve never eaten sushi. I had hepatitis A once and that was enough to put me off.
Never been west of the Mississippi (though I have lived in Rome and North Africa).
Yeah, it usually happens when you’re starting out. But you learn to keep track.
I’ve never surfed or snow skied.
I may have never had a broken bone. It’s may because when you whack your pinky toe on your bedpost, the doctor won’t bother with an x-ray because he’s going to do the same thing whether it’s broken or not. He’s going to tape that toe to the toe next to it.
Never ate poutine.
Never watched a hardcore pornographic movie. If I were to do so, I am certain I would be laughing and/or rolling my eyes at the contrived nature of the tryst in question and the overacting histrionics involved, and not turned on at all.
I grew up in the tail end of the “tonsillectomy as a routine childhood rite of passage” era. Never had mine out, or my appendix either.
As for running out of gas, modern gas gauges make that less likely, but oh, yes, I remember the E/1/2/F dial.
ETA: I did have my wisdom teeth removed when I was 21. I heard all the horror stories, and experienced none of them, thankfully.
Never owned a car. Never broken a bone. Never travelled to the Northern Hemisphere. Never been married. Never owned a pet. Never smoked or done drugs (barely even had prescribed drugs, unless you count painkillers). There are lots of foods I’ve never eaten too.
I’m sure there are many more, as I am not an adventurous person.
75 and I’ve never broken a bone either.
I have never been under genersl anesthetic for any kind of medical procedure (have had some things done under local). I do not think I have even been in a medical facility for more than 12 hours (well, there was that thing with the funny farm, but it was not quite the same as a medical facility).
Let’s both carry on with this trend!
For those of you who have never broken a bone, don’t worry. I’ve broken enough to make up for you. ![]()
Seriously, keep on avoiding broken bones. They’re no fun.
I’m quite happy to take your word on that! I’m sorry you’ve suffered so many of them.
Someone once told me I’d never broken a bone because I’d never been hit hard enough, and that’s certainly true. But it wasn’t for lack of trying. I was just lucky.
Never…
Broken a bone
Been drunk
Taken illegal drugs
Been to the southern hemisphere
Had sex
I’ve never played “never have I ever…”, but I kinda feel like I’d win.
My geographic range is quite small. I have been as far as
50°02’N
125°37’W
31°20’N
76°12’W
I’ve never smoked or done any kind of drugs. Even in Cambridge in the ‘60s - ‘70s.
Never saw either Titanic or It’s a Wonderful Life.
Never got divorced.
Never ran out of gas either. Never got a traffic ticket in California though I’ve been here almost 30 years. At this point, when a cop stops me, they look up my record and say “I’m not going to be the first” and let me go. Never got stopped for anything blatant, though.
