I’ve never eaten lobster. I’m not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that’s only palatable when slathered in butter.
Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.
I’m an American and I’ve never had a burger or mac & cheese. Isn’t autism so fun? Yipee!
How does autism affect whether you’ve had mac & cheese or a burger?
(This question is not meant to be accusatory at all, purely curious.)
ARFID. Has a common link to autism, but autism serves as a more overarching issue for me. It’s my refusal to accept therapy due to some weird complex that’s also a problem.

Hey, that one I totally get (as a non-autist, but with ADHD and there’s some overlap/camaraderie there).
When I was in college I had a really positive experience with therapy, overall, although my therapist did (rightly) encourage my parents to get me into inpatient psychiatric care for a few days when I was at my lowest point of depression. That inpatient stay was extremely beneficial for me, I came out of it much healthier and in a better place, but I was also brought there against my will.
Since then I’ve had a weird thing where I cognitively know I should go to therapy, but I just cannot bring myself to do it. I fully understand inpatient was the right call, my therapist did the right thing, therapy is very helpful, and there are plenty of other therapists anyway. But I still have this like, nagging anxiety about it. Loss of freedom can do weird things to the psyche.
Fortunately I’ve had some recent positive experience, since my wife and I decided to go to some couples’ therapy (nothing serious, just wanted to make sure we can have as healthy a relationship as possible) and it helped a lot. So I’m starting to reconsider the whole notion.

I’ve never seen the ocean
Have you also never left Philadelphia?
You should, it’s pretty nice.
Kinda big scary lake init?
Not too scary - plus it goes splash all on its own!
Big lakes do that as well
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.
I got tossed sophomore year, and got my GED later.
I graduated with a B.S. in engineering a few years ago.
I know them feels
I’ve never broken a bone but I think I’ve had about 60 stitches in total
I’ve broken several. Cannot recommend it, in fact it is quite unpleasant.
But if you had to pick, which was your favorite?
Nose, because the other three I’ve broken all made me unable to use an arm for a while and it is fucking infuriating to try to put socks on with only one hand every morning
oh shit really?
Don’t believe random people on the internet! Get a hammer or a tall ledge and find out yourself
I’ve fractured plenty but never had a complete break. Fractures still suck though.
The only bone I’ve ever broken was my sternum. I couldn’t do sports for several weeks but had no cast or anything to show off. I could only sit there and let my body do the healing.
Never broke a bone club!
Same, except I’ve counted my stitches: 102
Yes ! … So, what about you ?
I started this thread thinking I’d have the bravery to answer my own question. I’ve got a few heavy hitters. But I hesitate because, altogether, they would probably make me uniquely identifiable.
Things you haven’t done make you uniquely identifiable?
He hasn’t done two chicks at the same time with his two cocks, yet.
Hi, do you know you have a quite revealing username 😋 ?
Phoebe!
is Phoebe a user name ?
It’s a Friends reference (and now a spoiler, I guess). Sorry, am boomer.
Thanks friend :)
i didn’t watch television for the last 10 years and didn’t ever watch an episode of this TV series ! (hard to believe things that i did not do !)I totally get it! I stopped watching TV in 2000.
Believe it or not they’ve never stolen anyone’s lunch money…
That’s ccunning, ccunning. Just saw their name
I’ve never been to a concert, that seems to be one that people find bizarre
Do you live in or near a big metropolitan area? If so you can probably fulfill this one within the month depending on how broad your musical tastes are. Some shows are prohibitively expensive, but a lot of smaller ones are remarkably affordable.
Edit: I myself enjoy a decently broad range of music. One of my favorite types of concerts, though, is when the local symphony puts on a movie and they play the soundtrack. These are really fun because you get to go to a symphony concert but if you get bored you can watch a movie!
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.
As a show goes that loves to vibe towards the back, I encourage you to go.
Shows are great. You don’t need to fight crowds, be up front, or dance if you don’t want to. I prefer small shows, usually at bars. But even large stadium shows have an energy that’s hard to describe.
Never smoked a cigarette. Not even took a single drag. I’m not even sure I ever touched one.
I’ve done just about every drug out there. Had a pretty significant meth problem in my late teens and early 20’s. Never smoked a cigarette.
Just always seemed too gross to be worth it.
Me neither. I didn’t know something like this would be so hard to believe
- graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
- never broken a bone.
- never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
- can’t say “never” any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
- have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.
I’ve never been stung by a bee either! I’ve had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee’s version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in “their” territory. … My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they’ll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It’s wild.
How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?
I didn’t even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.
but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
What? You never went to hospital?
Never learned to ride a bicycle.
Heyo, me too! I tried as a kid and busted my knee when I fell off, and gave it up.
I’ve been afraid of falling since I was very very young, so that’s what led me to never want to ride :)
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.
You’re not missing anything.
wink
Same. I get a little warm and I don’t like it, so I stop. Why in the world would I have MORE?
Don’t you want to be able to see the 50 or 60Hz flicker of the lights?
Is that a thing that happens? Sounds unpleasant.
Or you just don’t remember?
Same here! I do get drunk on occasion but never out of control
I’ve never been drunk at all. Never really had more than one or two drinks in one day.
Same here except for the vomiting part.
Never went to public or private school until university.
The first wedding I ever attended was my own…and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn’t get or were already married my entire life.
Still never been to a birth or a funeral.
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.
I’ve never watched a hockey match, which is our local religion.
I don’t like or watch hockey but I won tickets to a Canucks game once. It was pretty cool. My favourite part was the timbits team or whatever and it was just a bunch of like 4 and 5 year olds falling all over the ice at half time.
WHAT
I’ve played hockey. You can’t touch me, the covenant still holds.
Never have I ever intentionally shoplifted anything from a store.
You should, though.
intentionally
My clients accidentally shoplifted a can of tuna.
Are all of your clients cats or just that one?
Just dese too yoots.
(It’s a reference to the courtroom dramedy film My Cousin Vinny, in which two innocent boys from New York driving throuth Alabama stop at a convenience store for groceries, one has so much food he’s carrying he sticks a can of tuna in his pocket, forgets about it by the time he gets to the register, realizes it’s in his pocket after they leave, and are then arrested for first degree murder. Joe Pesci ensues.)
Ah, of course! It has been far too long since I’ve watched My Cousin Vinny and I shall take this as a sign that it’s time.
I seriously have accidentally stolen something before.
Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?
Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.
