I've never seen Star Wars...

Along those lines of the famous game, what pretty common things have you not experienced?

  • I truly haven't seen (entire films of) Star Wars. Any of them.
(Nor an episode of Game of Thrones, for that matter)
  • I have never taken a selfie.
  • I've never cheated in a relationship.
  • I have never eaten (nor will I ever eat, unless held at gunpoint) pineapple on pizza. I love pineapple. I love pizza. But the thought of combining them makes me feel physically ill.

Want to add your own?

Apologies. Not sure what happened with the spacing above!

I've never read any Harry Potter, nor seen the films.

Not seen star wars either....it's been on in the background, but it just looks bloody boring, so ive not watched it.

I don't have social media like fb, twitter, insta etc.

Agree wholeheartedly about pineapple on pizza.

I have never, not even in childhood, lived in a single country for more than 4 years consecutively.

Crocodilekneecaps · 03/04/2023 19:59

Never watched James Bond

Bit depressing to think that cheating is seen as a “must do” on the same level as watching Star Wars.

I’ve never had a sense of humour…

BlobLobIaw · 03/04/2023 20:00

Not seen Star Wars either!!!

Never eaten anything from the sea other than fish.

Also agree re pineapple!

Never been to America, and actively won't. Gun crazy loons.

Never seen Star Wars or James Bond either. Or mission impossible I guess.

Cant fucking stand the Beatles.

Dacadactyl · 03/04/2023 20:02

@WildAloofRebel tell me about it...the Beatles are the most overrated band of all time.

Fair point.

Not so much a 'must do', more of a "bloody hell, a lot do seem to..."

Never watched James Bond

Very boring compared to Jason Statham films, Daniel Craig just pouts. I reckon he kills his enemies with his boring glare. Craig could never drive a car like Statham does

I suppose if you define “relationship” loosely to include teenage boyfriend/girlfriend arrangements then maybe it’s not quite so bad. But I don’t think that it’s anything to normalise in adult LTRs.

I seem to have found my people re Hawaiian Pizza concept hatred!

KaftanKate · 03/04/2023 21:00

I could also add a few more to my list, prompted by everyone's additions above!

The most glaring omission, for which I'm judged harshly by friends and strangers alike, being I still haven't seen Dirty Dancing either.
Ahem.

However, from general pop culture, I've picked up that

  • Baby shouldn't be put in a corner
  • and a watermelon is relevant to the plot (my mind boggles)

My hubby said I look like Chewbacca when I waken up as my hair has a mind of its own and even roar like him when I'm grumpy! To add insult he bought me a Chewbacca Xmas stocking. I mean really lol. Now if I looked like the cute baby Yoda I'd be a happy girl lol.
