Title: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: Ash on April 17, 2016, 04:19:20 PM For example, I've never rode in a convertible car. Never even sat in one. You'd think that after almost 42 years on this planet I would've, but nope.
Can you think of a common activity that you've never tried? Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: AoTFan on April 17, 2016, 05:33:06 PM Never rode on a jet ski, or an ATV. It's not that I wouldn't, it's just I've never had the opportunity. Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: Derf on April 18, 2016, 07:07:51 AM I've never been drunk, not even tipsy. I can't stand the taste of alcohol, even in miniscule quantities, so I have never had more than a sip. I've never been deer hunting, which is unusual since I live in a state (Texas) that used to close down schools in some districts on the opening day of deer season. I have brothers that lived to hunt, but I have never gone. I've never ridden on a train. I would like to, but I haven't yet.

You'd think that after almost 42 years on this planet I would've, but nope. Can you think of a common activity that you've never tried? Yeah I've never rode in a convertible either. In fact last year during the Great Sprite75 Road Trip of 2015 (tm) I was looking to rent a convertible to drive back home but it was way too expensive. I have a friend who has a VW covertible, I've been giving my car salesman friend a hard time telling him Chevy needs to make a convertible Volt.

Not sure if that is a common thing :wink: Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: ER on December 07, 2016, 09:59:50 AM Since this thread has enjoyed a revival of late I been thinking hard about this topic the last couple days and have come up with....
As far as I know I've never snored. I've asked. Shrug. In school I never got an F on anything. I've never been to a chiropractor. I've never stared at the sun. (And until recently figured nobody did that but after a conversation the other day it seems like a lot of people have done that to see what'd happen... People are weird.) I never made fun of Rebecca Black, the girl in that Friday video. I've never done my own taxes. I've never been in PTA/PTO, Girl Scouts, joined a church, registered with a political party, or signed up to play on a sports team (which is strange because I minored in PE). I've never liked shaking someone's hand. (Does that fall in with this topic? Maybe not.) I've never lost a third-set tiebreaker in tennis where I served first. (The statistics of the game are if you serve first in a tiebreaker you're more likely to lose.) I've never broken a bone. I've never been medicated during childbirth. (Hey, it's just agonizing, bone-crunching pain, right?) I've never lied in my diary. I've never burned a Christmas tree. I've never eaten Chap Stick. I've never fallen for my husband and son's recent "pull my finger" conspiracy. I've never put a pet to sleep. I've never had a crush on a celebrity. And even though it's been correctly arrived at in an unconfirmed guess, I've never told anyone the exact number of people I've had sex with. Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: Skull on December 07, 2016, 10:34:13 AM And even though it's been correctly arrived at in an unconfirmed guess, I've never told anyone the exact number of people I've had sex with. I think somethings are best kept to yourself... :smile: I never smoked cigarettes or pot. I had a grandmother that was addicted to cigarettes and she would write a note for me to take to the gas-station and I would buy her a pack. I was 11/12 years old. We had to look for loose change under the cushions and I remember dismantling a buffalo nickle bracelet for her cigarette habit. And since I never tried to smoke cigarettes, I decided not to smoke pot. Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: RCMerchant on December 07, 2016, 08:46:23 PM never been arrested Thank god. Not sure if that is a common thing :wink: I can list them-if ya want. Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: Paquita on December 07, 2016, 09:57:13 PM I've never been drunk
I also have never broken a bone (let's hope it stays that way) I've never been stung by a bee. I have been stung by a wasp, but just once and I am terrified of getting stung again because that's supposed to be the time you find out if you're deathly allergic to a sting... or maybe that's a myth? I've never been to Disneyland Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: indianasmith on December 07, 2016, 11:49:12 PM Let's see -
never been drunk. Never tried illegal drugs. Never got in a fist fight. Never set foot inside a strip club. Never had sex with someone I wasn't married to. Never killed anyone (but don't tell my students; it would ruin my reputation!) Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: javakoala on December 08, 2016, 07:08:53 AM Let's see - Never killed anyone (but don't tell my students; it would ruin my reputation!)

Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: retrorussell on December 13, 2016, 03:21:31 PM I don't believe I ever punched someone in the face. God knows I've wanted to.
I've never had sex in an automobile. I've never killed an animal. I've never sneaked into a theater. I've never had crab, snails, octopii/squid or oysters. Never had a heart attack. Never kissed a superior or boss's butt/brown-nosed. Never went to college. Never "twittered", instagrameed, used Skype or any of that new-fangled crapola. Never owned more than a standard flip cellphone. Never purchased porn.

Symbol, nice tradition, not real, just a fun idea. Children are savvier than people think.
Honestly I think the idea of a strange, funnily-dressed old man coming into our house in the middle of the night would stress my oldest out anyway. She's got a lot of sense. Heck, when she was real little she got mad because in a picture book Santa was apparently snapping a whip at his reindeer and said, "He shouldn't hit those!!!" She's cool.... Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: Rev. Powell on December 15, 2016, 03:09:06 PM I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me.
Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: javakoala on December 15, 2016, 04:56:11 PM I keep wanting to post on this thread, but I can't seem to think of anything common. Then again, what is common these days?
Maybe for this forum and our favorite kinds of films, I could say: I've never cut someone up with a chainsaw. I've never held my face directly over an alien egg to see what was inside. I've never wanted to wander off alone in a spooky house with a serial killer on the loose. I've never walked into a biker bar and shouted, "What kind of p***y rides a Harley?" Closer to the actual theme of this thread: I've never started a fist fight. I've never lit one of my farts. I've never said I wasn't gross. Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: RCMerchant on December 15, 2016, 11:23:17 PM Keeping with Java's line of thought-
.I've never drank another's blood. (I DID bite a guy in the neck in a fight on L.I. once!) .I've never turned into a bat. .I've never been in a coffin. Once will be enough. . I've never hypnotised anyone. .I've never put a zombie spell on anyone. .I've never tried to mate gorillas with humans. Have drank wine-prefer whiskey! Title: Re: Common Things You've Never Done Post by: JaseSF on December 16, 2016, 12:25:01 AM Never texted, used, or owned a cellphone. That seems very common practice nowadays.

I've never clicked on special occasion Google icons. I've never clicked on any birthday or christmas gifts from my e-mail account I've been using since 2001. I assume they were promo codes / coupons for things I have no use for. Like that one time they actually showed me my birthday present, a $3 off coupon when buying two specific bottles of wine at a specific online shop :lookingup: I've never used Firefox Sync. I've never downloaded an app for my smartphone.
