Everyday things you've never done

Inspired by a conversation in our office recently, I just wondered what everyday things you've never done, that have family, friends or colleagues going "whaaat? "

I've never .....

... been in a betting shop
... seen a single episode of Coronation Street, Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Home and Away etc. (Actually, I realise that's not strictly true, I did once see an episode of Coronation Street, I was a child staying with my Gran and all I recall is Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell drinking milk stout!)
... never watched Sex in the City, CSI, Mrs. Brown's Boys, Little Britain or The Office
... been on the Eurostar
... joined Facebook or Twitter
... had a piercing other than one in each ear lobe
... been to Alton Towers, Thorpe Park et.al.
... desite having several 'veggie' friends, never cooked a nut roast
... owned neither a pair of ugg boots nor crocs
... bought anything in Harvey Nichols
... seen Star Wars
... had a store card
... read a Harry Potter book
... taken (or should that be 'experimented with') any non-prescription drug
... bought a comfortable pair of shoes in Barratts
... 'maxed-out' a credit card
... told some of my more annoying work colleagues what I really think of them (probably just as well!)
... watched Britain's-Big Brother's-Strictly-Got-The-X-Factor-on ice
... had a tattoo
... flown with Easyjet or Ryanair
... found Norman Wisdom, Sacha Baron Cohen, 'Johnny Vagas', Al Murray, Eddie Izzard, Ricky Gervais or Bruce Forsyth even remotely funny
... felt the need to wear a thong

Yep - I'm a miserable ....................

 

I have never seen the "sound of music" or "Mama Mia ", and hopefully never will !

 

That list could have been written by me.

But to add.. I have also never watched Top Gear, an F1 race, or a game of football.

 

I've never eaten a Whelk.

 

Fidgetsmum, the vast majority of items on your list would also be on mine.

I'd add:

- Never called either a boss or a customer 'sir' (matter of principle, if they haven't been knighted, they don't have that title).
- Never been done for any motoring offence, not even a parking ticket. I've never been done for any other offence for that matter but that's generally a given.
- I've never boasted about the capabilities of my mobile phone compared with those of my friends or colleagues.
- I've never parked illegally just for my own convenience and then attempted to justify it by switching my hazard warning lights on.

 

I have never been abroad, so never been on a plane.
never eaten Indian food
never had a speeding ticket (lots of parking ones though)
never eaten oysters.

 

'Everyday' type of things?

~ never used shop bought pastry (always make my own)
~ never bought pre-grated cheese
~ never bought prepared vegetables
~ never gambled (actually, that's not quite true: mother put a shilling each way on a horse in the Grand National when I was little. It fell at a fence and I was totally cross that I didn't get my money back; not even half of it for getting half way . Cured!)

 

When I was a kid, I used to pick out the winner. For about 4 or 5 years in a row, my dad would put a few quid on for me on the horse I'd picked, and I'd be rich for a few days after. I remember one time when I was about 13 or 14, by now my dad had accepted that I was 'lucky' and was going to put a whopping £20 for himself on the horse I picked out, and a fiver for me. His mates looked at the form for the horse I picked and declared it to be a donkey. I remember the 'discussion' got surprisingly heated, and in the end my dad decided £20 was too much to put on, so he went with a fiver, and put more money on the favourite. Later that day, when my dad gave me my winnings, he told me not to gloat in front of his mates because they were feeling a bit sore, after losing their dosh on 'good horses' while watching the 'donkey picked by a kid' win.

 

I've never ripped off bank customers!

Cheers, Tony.

 

Never been to a musical (I'd rather stay at home and nail my head to a table).
Never bought bottled water.
Never owned or used a dishwasher.
Never had the urge to try on any of my wife's clothes or undergarments. (Apparently it's more common than you think).

 

I've never worn a pair of Mr Jenny's underpants

 

Paid for a tube ticket.

I've got an oyster card that gives me free travel across the system

It's a shame I hate going to London though

 

I feel bad I have done most of the above about 95%

But not the thong (thought before posting I had better point that one out)
I know what you lot are like
