What are some very common things in life that you have never experienced personally (as of yet)? You can use your own judgement for what is "common", but they should be things that are pretty normal.

We did this exercise at work the other day as a team-building activity and it stirred up a lot of different conversations and was a lot of fun. Things we thought everybody has done at least once (for example: playing a video game), turned out not to be the case, and it was interesting to hear why and how some things have never happened to some people...

Here are some examples of mine:

1.) rickey939 "never has" broken a bone.

2.) rickey939 "never has" had the chicken-pox.

3.) rickey939 "never has" been stung by a bumble-bee.

4.) rickey939 "never has" seen a movie at the drive-in.

5.) rickey939 "never has" owned a stereo system.

(Let's keep your list to (5) or less "never have" items.)

[Railroader]

1. RR has never skydived.

2. RR has never been unfaithful.

Jeps. I can't get accepted because I've broken a bone. If they allow me to fly, after the flight I would step out of the plane with my right arm hanging beside my body because the bone isn't strong enough to withstand the g-forces, it would brake again.
I guess me not becoming a pilot has a purpose, if writing isn't my thing I guess I'd lose my hands one day

That just doesn't seem right. Is it a Netherlands thing. I got a guy near me, Apache pilot that serves no purpose in the air.

Where would you fly? Unh. Just isn't fair.
