Things you've never done

We were having a conversation at work today about things you've never done that are quite common. Among the office were never played monopoly, never seen a musical, never been to a festival etc. The ones I can think of for me are: I've never watched a 3d film, I've never baked a cake, had fondue,...

We were having a conversation at work today about things you've never done that are quite common. Among the office were never played monopoly, never seen a musical, never been to a festival etc.

The ones I can think of for me are:

I've never watched a 3d film, I've never baked a cake, had fondue, played Dominoes or been to the London Eye, Madame Tussauds or the Tower of London (more of a regional one, but having lived in London and the South East all my life, it makes it more common).

What are yours?

    I've never had a kebab, but only cos I became veggie aged 16 and didn't start going to clubs etc til I was 17. Otherwise I probably would! I feel like there must be loads more things, but all the ones people have listed I've done: lived alone, got tattoos, had a one night stand etc. I've seen bits of Game of Thrones as my former flatmate watched it, but never a full episode.

    I like this one and am struggling to think of original ones, so a bit of a mish mash:

    - I have never been to a harvester restaurant (I feel deprived and want to try the infamous salad cart)

    - I have never watched Dirty Dancing (or the Matrix and Star Wars movies)

    - I have never learnt how to play an instrument (not even the recorder) and therefore can’t read music

    - I have never been able to successfully perform a cartwheel or backwards roll

    - I have never cheated on a chocolate advent calendar – i.e. opened future days in advance!!!

    - I have never eaten a Krispy Kreme doughnut (nor would I want too)

    and

    - I also have never been on the London Eye and live in London

    Oh man, me neither! My mum would shout at me (even though she hasn't lived with me for 18 years). I've never eaten an Easter egg before Easter Sunday either, or eaten meat on Good Friday.

    Dirty Dancing is one of my all time favourite films! Love love love it!

    As for the Easter egg thing, my OH and I often buy loads in the run up to Easter and scoff them as they're always on offer and usually end up cheaper than buying separate choccie bars.

    We went along the River Dart at Dartmouth on our wedding day and a dolphin swam alongside the boat - sadly we only got a picture of its fin. His name was Danny and he has his own Facebook page!! https://www.facebook.com/DannyTheDartmouthDolphin

    It makes my husband sad too. He does The Count counting thing to me all the time, and had to show it to me on YouTube as I had no idea what he was doing....

    I grew up abroad, if that excuses it from being a travesty?!?!

    Watched a 3d film

    Kissed in the rain (I don't understand the big deal? I just want to get inside!!)

    Lived alone

    Had a manicure/pedicure/fake tan

    Been to a gig

    Reading through the others I am either adventurous having done most things or older than everyone else so more time to do them in. I'm sticking with the adventurous theory.....

    The few things I haven't done:

    • Had a cup of coffee. just the smell makes me want to vom.
    • been on a motorbike (have many people?)
    • watched breaking bad but will soon.
    • kissed a girl on the lips. At least not remembered I have.

    Wow, I didn't think that was physically possible in this day and age !

    If you now say "I go to Costa", that'll ruin it for me! ?

    I like this thread-good work DCM!

    I have never:

    Read/Watched Harry Potter

    Thrown a punch at anyone

    Cheated at Monopoly

    Had a loan from the bank (only the bank of Grandma)

    Tried Haggis (sp?)

    Walked barefoot on a pavement even when my feet felt like they were going to drop off

    Shopped in Farmfoods or Iceland

    Been off sick from work (current job 6 years)

    I am sure I have lots more but it is hard to think of them.

    Same here. I never thought of myself as remotely adventurous, but I seem to have done most of the things other people have mentioned, so maybe I am!

    Not being a coffee drinker, I don't regularly frequent anywhere, but I have been in most of the major chains of coffee shop, and several independents with friends who meet up for coffee and a natter - I just have hot chocolate instead, but I have never been inside a Starbucks.
