What have you never done that most of your peers have ...?

Never got a traffic or parking ticket or wrecked a car.
Never had a drink before 18 and not very many after.

Never had a tattoo, but I wasn't aware that most boomers did. Maybe I'm just not keeping up.
 

Never been inebriated...can't stand smell or taste of alcohol
Never have gotten a tattoo and don't have any plans to get one
Never owned a cat (allergic)
Never eaten avocados or olives (yuk!)
 
Never gotten a tattoo, I'm from the generation that thinks tattoos on females are not nice.
Never been on a cruise ship ( they look top heavy to me).
One taste of avocados was one taste too many!
Never been divorced, never cheated either.
There's a lot of stuff I have never done but I don't have a lot of imagination to think of the rest.

There are many foods that are Mexican that are not spicy. I don't like spicy either but I love Mexican food. Each area of Mexico has different flavors and/or cooking methods. You might just want to browse a website on one of those in your area.

I have finally gotten old enough that I will try anything, then I know if I really don't like it. It will sound strange but there where many things I would not try. After my husband passed, I found out I liked broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus and brussell sprouts. I cooked them for my husband but never ate them. Watching cooking shows showed me I could roast them. Tried it and love them all now.

in the Uk, any of those tex Mex/ nando style eateries add lots of Spice to everything, it seems the hotter it is the more the public likes it.... if they sold ice-cream I'm sure they'd put spice in that
 
Wearing masks when you don't have to. The last time I wore one of those masks was March 15th. Only exception is when I visited my eye doctor and my GP. However, around here the old "timers" are wearing them like they are going to live to be 125 years old. I wish them luck! Maybe they think it gives them "sex appeal?" I think it does not! Nothing sexy about a "masked bandit."

I agree, me neither... again my DD has, she loves a cruise, but then she loves to lie on a sunbed all day reading a book, I could never do that... that said I have been thinking now as a lone person of perhaps taking a cruise it would solve all my problems about travelling alone..not sure about it ..

I also have never been on a cruise, other than a day trip to and from places.

I recently read about a gentleman who lived on a cruise ship. He's been doing that for a decade and is in his 90s I believe. He said he had everything he needed. The food was ready, entertainment was there, and he was friends with everybody who worked on the ship. I think they even had a ship doctor. He sounded like he was content. He got me to thinking maybe I can try a cruise at least once in my lifetime. :)
