List three things that you think you should have experienced by now. I'm not talking about extraordinary things like walking on the moon, because you're very much in the majority there. I'm talking about common, everyday experiences that you've somehow missed out on. So for instance...

• I have never (knowingly) eaten peanut butter.

• I've never been on a roller-coaster. Never had the desire to, and frankly there aren't that many of them round here.

• I've never broken a bone in my body. For that matter, I've never had to go to a hospital unless it was to visit other people.

I'm grateful for that last one by the way. Anyway... your turn!

Hmm.

• I've never watched the movie "Aliens." Watched every other movie in the series at least once, never the second one that everyone seems to like.
• I've never had a child. Not even once.
• I've never taken any drugs other than alcohol (outside of a strictly medical basis, of course).

1: i've never had a Cornish pasty. I refuse to eat one until i go to Cornwall
2: i've never tried any kind of illegal drug.

You got arrested for refusing to eat a Cornish pasty? Was a Cornish girl wearing it at the time?

3: i've never punched my boss...

I just like the fact that you think that's a common everyday experience.

you mean its not!
Your jobs sound so boring.

Then again Steve, you are the boss at your place.
You'd have to slap yourself!

And I do... on a regular basis.

[mattgarvey1981]

i have experience!

[stephanie familiar]

1. I've never (knowingly) met anyone on Millarworld.
2. I've never done something that I absolutely hated because my wife wanted to do it without ensuring she knew I hated it.
3. I've never take a vacation of more than 2 days without checking my work email.

• I've never had a child. Not even once.

I read this quickly and thought you had written "hit a child", which I thought was an unusual thing to have on your bucket list. Fortunately I re-read it and my opinion of you went right back up again.

I'll just borrow Steve's because they apply to me too

[Steve Sensible]

Oi! Get your own things you've never done, Meadows!

[Lucian Von Dooom]

1) I've never travelled overseas. There are a ton of places I would love to travel to like, Japan and multiple European countries. Would also love to visit the Asias.
2) I never learned how to swim properly. I need to rectify this some day.
3) I've never been in an orgy. One day...lol

Well, that's on my list of "never dones" too, although not my my "want to do" list.

[Steve Sensible]

2) I never learned how to swim properly. I need to rectify this some day.

Same here. I can tread water, and float about on my back, but the moment I can't touch solid ground without submerging, I'm pretty much fucked.

[HowardAshton]

I've never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.

[David Meadows]

Oi! Get your own things you've never done, Meadows!

But I've done everything apart from those three!

I love swimming.
One of the few things i'm actually good at.
I think i need to teach you kids.
Lets arrange some swimming lessons!

[craggy]

I've done a lot of the things you guys haven't. I don't like peanut butter, or roller coasters. I'm 3 for 3 on Stephanie's list (although really, it'd be silly me owning a car, since I don't know if I can drive) and have never had a child or a wife so those ones are out. Haven't broken a bone, but have spent a relatively long time in hospital.

I tend to be a 'try anything once' type of person so this is quite difficult. With one easy one.

I have never ridden a bicycle. My parents never got me one and then it got to the point where it was very embarassing to try and learn aged 11 or whatever so I never did. I do remember thinking as a teenager of getting one and trying to learn on an industrial estate in the middle of the night so nobody could see me but then thought there'd be a group of security guards gathering round mocking me cruelly.

I have never had an espresso coffee. I don't drink coffee anyway so a super concentrated expensive small one is not very appealling.

I have never spent a night in hospital. I'm sure that's true for lots of people actually but I did say this was difficult.
