What is something you will never do, or have done and will never do again.

For me it’s banana boating.

I went on it once, and the strap I was holding snapped. I went flying off after one rough wave. Even though I was wearing a life jacket, it still scared the shit out of me and I refused to get back on it. I ended up going in the boat instead. My dad was pissed off with me cos he thought I was exaggerating. So he took my spot. I took great pleasure in seeing him go flying. He never apologised though

Get married or live with a man. Never again. Now a dog on the other hand ...

Redshoeblueshoe · 07/09/2024 17:49

Flying - or anything related to heights. It was never a problem when I was young, now the thought of it makes me feel sick

Climbing.

Potholing. Never ever ever ever. Just thinking about it makes my chest tight.

Camping! I left all the camping gear with my exH in the divorce. I was more than happy too.
Bungee jumping.
Get married.

Chewbecca · 07/09/2024 17:59

The idea of caving fills me with terror.

Berlinlover · 07/09/2024 17:59

I’d never marry. I’m happy to live with my partner but marriage isn’t for me at all.

UmbrellaEllaEllaElla · 07/09/2024 18:02

I will never go spluenking or in a submersible.

Go to an all inclusive package holiday to Turkey- each year the hotels and airport experience gets worse and i can't do it to myself again

I've got lots! Bungy jumping, kayaking, paragliding, open water swimming, hiking. Never done, never will do.

I hope to never have another away day with ice breakers, go camping, have noisy neighbors, get so drunk I fall over, wear ridiculous high heels, live with man.

Doseofreality · 07/09/2024 18:06

Buttons, I will never go to Butlins and I am perfectly happy about that.

haha I could have written this list too. Apart from the doughnuts that is ... assuming you mean the sugary ones (I could never give them up) and not the ones that are dragged along the sea by a speedboat? In that case - I'm with you!

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 07/09/2024 18:08

Scuba diving. Tried it once, hated every second. Couldn't equalise, so lots of pain. Can't cope with being trapped underwater as you can't surface quickly or risk getting the bends. Plus general sharks, jelly fish and krackens. Can't imagine why anyone does that for fun.

Netcam · 07/09/2024 18:09

I can think of loads. Off the top of my head:
Eat a McDonald's
Caving
Potholing
Abseiling
Cruise
All inclusive package holiday
Skydiving
Skiing
Wear high heels

Words · 07/09/2024 18:09

Great idea!

Going on a cruise
Sky diving
Skiing
Watching a football match ( or any other sport actually)
Shopping in crowded, enclosed spaces
Rock climbing
Pot holing
Going to parties
Christmas

I had recurring dreams when I was a kid about finding myself in a hang glider, clinging on for dear life with sweaty hands as I was buffetted about all over the place.

As an adult, I've discovered that you don't literally hang by your arms (!) but it's still a definite no from me!
