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?
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.
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.

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.
I've never been on an actual date; I've partied and gotten drunk / high with women, but a "date" date, never.
Never done drugs, don't wanna.
Never done drugs. Not interested at all.
Never listened to a Prince song. Could not identify one if I heard it.
I've never been drunk on New Year's Eve. I've never committed adultery. I've never done my own taxes. I've never ridden a schoolbus to or from school. I've never had a pet that was "put to sleep." I've never experienced getting punched in the face. I've never had a bachelorette party. I've never grown up with a sibling. I've never learned how to play a musical instrument. I've never bought an illegal drug. I've never had a newspaper subscription. I've never watched an entire episode of Friends.
I've never driven a car for more than a block; I learned how over forty years ago, but I get too nervous behind the wheel.
Never had sex with a woman of my own race. It's always with white, indian, etc. women. I've gotten a handjob but I think that's it. Always been into women from other nationalities.
I've never been intoxicated, or high.
Never even been to Facebook or Twitter.
And I'm sure it will stay that way.

Stuck chewing gum under a seat; indeed, I quit chewing gum at the age of seven, when I made the mistake of peeking at the underside of a five-and-dime store lunch counter....yuck.
Hunted.

In what universe would the writers you listed not count as great classics? You short change yourself there, mate.
I've never been to the reddit website. I didn't even know what reddit was/is until 2-3 years ago.
I've never ridden ATV or motorbike.
A year ago I'd have been able to say I've never had a credit card or learned to drive, so instead I'll go with I've never visited another country that has made me think "I wish I'd been born here instead."
700+ million people are using cloud storage but I don't. I wouldn't even know what to use it for. I'm fine with the picture storage on my smartphone and I don't have other digital files/stuff whatever that's in need of storage.
I have not, nor will I ever, be on a motor cycle
I never used The Cloud and ever will
At the risk of sounding like a drama queen, I've never had a birthday party.
I've had individuals bake me a cake and, once, a giant cookie. I've had individuals buy me gifts. I've even had individuals take me to dinner for my birthday. But I've never had a traditional birthday party with a gathering of friends and assorted folks, with all or even a few bearing gifts and a group singing "Happy Birthday".
Damn television for warping my expectations!

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.

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.

I can list them-if ya want.
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

Eeew, I thought of another one. I have never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight. I know most of you probably have.

Hustler magazine may not have had the prettiest girls-(they had a photo-ahem-spread featuring Wendy O. Williams-UGH!),but the cartoons were the s**t!
Lied to my children about Santa. They seem to get it anyway. 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....
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me.
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.
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!
Never texted, used, or owned a cellphone. That seems very common practice nowadays.
Never ate much in the way of barbecue food.
I've never redeemed any of my digital codes. I threw them all away.
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.

Me either. In fact never followed any kind of fashion "trend". I pretty much always looked and dressed the same as I do now.
