I relate to a lot of these.
Never used a microwave
Never seen Grease
Never snogged my husband. He just hates it, it's probably my favourite thing to do with a partner but 20 years in he avoids it every time. He's got yet another 'coldsore' this week so that's that really

The only comment I have read that shocks me ,is that a person has never been to a dentist!! Can understand that spending money on a dentist is rubbish ,but the consequences of ignoring dental health is catastrophic.

KyleWalkersLibido · 20/02/2024 00:48

Many similar to others, apart from those I have never:

eaten any form of shellfish
successfully lost weight and kept it off
been on a bus

The bus one surprises people, but we live rurally, always had car growing up, then always had one as an adult as there is really crappy bus service so never had the need to go one one. I am envious of those who have very good public transport links as I would like to access a bus system if it was reliable and went where I needed to go.
