It has to be something that most people have done though!

I've never met my daughter's father.

I've never owned a microwave.

I've never had a job with set hours.

I've never had a week's holiday abroad since I was 18 (I'm sure this isn't so odd, but adverts make us think it is!).

I've never watched Strictly (my friend thinks this is unbelievable; I'm sure it is not!).

I'm intrigued that you have never had a job with set hours. Like ever ever? My job now is vaguely 9-5 but very flexi. And I've worked other places that are similar

But jobs in school/ uni were in shops, restaurants where they obviously can't offer that. Then my 1st graduate job they were strict on 9-5

Did you never have a job like that?

Honestly I would try out a microwave. I batch cook have 'frozen meals' probably once/ twice a week. Very handy

pontipinemum · 20/02/2024 10:37

Reading through these it seems like I have done lots!

I haven't had a drug stronger than weed.

Probably a lot in the bedroom I haven't done and don't intend to.

Given birth vaginally.

I've never been to a Starbucks.

Many years ago (probably about 25+) when they were going their 'aggressive presence building' phase in the UK, they bought out one of my favourite local independent coffee shops and I have never forgiven them for it.

Never been married either, but that's not that unusual. Might get round to it one day...

You're not missing anything. Starbucks tastes burnt.

Or had a tattoo.

FortunataTagnips · 20/02/2024 19:26

I’ve never had a tattoo or piercing.

I’m Intrigued by some of these. Don’t you at least want to try sex or swimming or sushi?

LoveSandbanks · 20/02/2024 19:44

Blimey, I’m feeling quite wild at some of these.

I’ve never tried drugs other than weed
never been to a rave
never skied
never been a godparent

my early 20’s were a lot of fun but I only got my first tattoo at about 45. I’ve never been arrested

Nope, my theoretical interest in sex died completely with menopause. The only man I was ever keen on had died long before and no other did it for me.

Swimming, ugh no. I loathed swimming lessons.

Sushi, gag!

Allywill · 20/02/2024 21:56

Eaten Weetabix. I gave it my kids frequently but have never actually tried it myself. It does not look appetising.

Beezknees · 20/02/2024 22:43

Never driven a car. Have no desire to learn and probably never will.

Beezknees · 20/02/2024 22:44

The title says things that most people have done so I'm not sure why people are saying never been arrested? That's not something that most people have done!

I am 65 - I honestly don’t think I have ever picked an animal up. I have stroked lots and I may have had a hamster placed in my hands or sat with a dog on my lap ( never a cat) but the actually physically picking one up I have never done .

Gosh, having read the full thread I feel like what I don't write here could be somewhat revealing... 😳

I have never worn a tracksuit
I have never made a speech
I have never done another girl's hair

How have people never changed a lightbulb?!
