I have
never been to London
never been to a concert
never been on a train alone
(also never seen a load of films everyone else seems to have done like top gun, jaws, free willy….)

Me neither

I’m curious about how you’ve managed to not go on a train alone? Not that you’re missing much! I just can’t imagine a life without needing to use a train on your own as I’ve done so many solo train journeys!

I have
never had anything delivered by “just eat” “deliveroo” or equivalent
never been to a music festival
never had a manicure/pedicure

I’ve had some lovely solo holidays.

Farted. Disgusting habit.

exexpat · 08/07/2026 23:56

There are loads of 'normal' things I have never done, as I have no interest in them (dyed my hair, had my nails done etc), but I travel and go to concerts and plays (solo or with DP, friends or family) all the time, and I have lived in lots of big cities, including London.

OP, are those things (going on a train, going to London or to concerts) things you feel you are missing out on, or are you not bothered?

Nsky62 · 08/07/2026 23:56

Smoked or taken drugs

nopenotplaying · 08/07/2026 23:56

galloped on a horse

attempted a handbrake turn

put petrol in a diesel car or vice versa

I have never lived alone, or been on holiday alone

I don't think skydiving or swimming with sharks are the kind of things most people would feel everyone else has done!

Farted. Disgusting habit.

It’s a perfectly normal, natural and healthy bodily function. You will definitely fart in your sleep!

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 09/07/2026 00:01

I’ve never been on birth control
I’ve never smoked
I’ve never watched a football match
I’ve never fed my babies with a bottle

Maybe you fart in your sleep but I'd never be so uncouth
