    So far I’ve seen only pretty believable answers here so I’ll add my own: I’ve never been drunk enough to pass out, vomit, forget things or fall.

    Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn’t ask for the certificate. It didn’t matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn’t have.

    God I hated high school.

      I got tossed sophomore year, and got my GED later.

      I graduated with a B.S. in engineering a few years ago.

      I know them feels

    My coworkers are always surprised when they first learn that I didn’t even finish high school. I work with people who are mostly highly educated. Most with masters degrees, a few with bachelor’s and doctorates. While they were studying, I was geeking out over some project that I did just for fun. Turns out that the skills I ended up with were exactly what my career for the past 15 years needs.

      Just sad. My stepsons had never been to a concert and my kids thought that was crazy because I had brought them to shows since they were babies. Like, I can remember my first show but they can’t. They all love music now.

        I love music but I’ve just never been, if someone invited me sure I’d go, but other than that not sure why I would want to. At this point I’m probably getting too old for that crowd anyway

          We would invite you, and never too old! I go by myself sometimes too, that is also fun. Can just listen to the music without having to socialize. Live music is just one of the best things ever.

          As a show goes that loves to vibe towards the back, I encourage you to go.

          Shows are great. You don’t need to fight crowds, be up front, or dance if you don’t want to. I prefer small shows, usually at bars. But even large stadium shows have an energy that’s hard to describe.

      Do you live in or near a big metropolitan area? If so you can probably fulfill this one within the month depending on how broad your musical tastes are. Some shows are prohibitively expensive, but a lot of smaller ones are remarkably affordable.

      Edit: I myself enjoy a decently broad range of music. One of my favorite types of concerts, though, is when the local symphony puts on a movie and they play the soundtrack. These are really fun because you get to go to a symphony concert but if you get bored you can watch a movie!

      Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.

        I’ve been afraid of falling since I was very very young, so that’s what led me to never want to ride :)

    I’ve never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I’ve seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.

        Okay, most Pop Tarts are like, I dunno, take ‘em or leave ‘em.

        But they have this new Banana Bread kind, and if you ever want to have your first Pop Tart (and you like banana bread) you could do far worse.

        I’ve never even seen one in real life.

        Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…

        Yeah, knew it;

        The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.

        (such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)

    I’ve never eaten lobster. I’m not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that’s only palatable when slathered in butter.

      Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.

    The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.

    Still never been to a birth or a funeral.
