    So far I’ve seen only pretty believable answers here so I’ll add my own: I’ve never been drunk enough to pass out, vomit, forget things or fall.

    My coworkers are always surprised when they first learn that I didn’t even finish high school. I work with people who are mostly highly educated. Most with masters degrees, a few with bachelor’s and doctorates. While they were studying, I was geeking out over some project that I did just for fun. Turns out that the skills I ended up with were exactly what my career for the past 15 years needs.

      Nice! I kind of know how you feel. I’ve studied to be a machinist, now I’m an enterprise architect.

    Never smoked a cigarette. Not even took a single drag. I’m not even sure I ever touched one.

    Well I have a college degree, so people find it funny I never technically graduated high school. Did enough classes to qualify for graduation then ran away halfway through the year and never looked back. I was already enrolled at the college in an arts program so they didn’t ask for the certificate. It didn’t matter until I tried to get a job in a bureaucracy in my 40s and they wanted evidence of high school diploma. Which I didn’t have.

    God I hated high school.

        Never appealed to me. If I were to choose something in that class a Hostess Cup Cake always seemed like the more obvious choice.

        That being said Little Debbie > Hostess. Give me an Oatmeal Cookie, Star Crunch, or Nutty Buddy over either of those every day…

        I’ve never even seen one in real life.

        Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…

        Yeah, knew it;

        The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.

        (such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)

      Just sad. My stepsons had never been to a concert and my kids thought that was crazy because I had brought them to shows since they were babies. Like, I can remember my first show but they can’t. They all love music now.

        I love music but I’ve just never been, if someone invited me sure I’d go, but other than that not sure why I would want to. At this point I’m probably getting too old for that crowd anyway

          We would invite you, and never too old! I go by myself sometimes too, that is also fun. Can just listen to the music without having to socialize. Live music is just one of the best things ever.

    I’ve never watched a football/soccer match. Sure I’ve seen some guys running on a field in the news, or sat in a bar with some screen in the background. But I have never watched a match in person either and have no interest in doing so.

    Do you mean other people wouldn’t believe we’ve never done it or that they wouldn’t believe us if we said we did due to being so associated with never having done it?

        People often don’t believe I never went to vocal therapy or anything. Some people are skeptical of my NZ accent since I’m not anywhere where it’s common and ask if it’s artificial. If anything, it actually used to sound more Maori-ish, but certain neurological symptoms when I was little caused it to Kiwify. People think I’m just attention-seeking by having an accent I never asked for.
