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

Oh dear, where to begin?.....I have a lot of them....

Never went to prom. Didn't know anyone and was too shy.
Never took illicit drugs or smoked or drank alcohol (hated the smell of beer, although I did sip a little wine once when I was young and that was it for me - it burned my throat).
Never did plastic surgery. What for?
Never cheated on my husband. What for?
Never piloted a plane. No need to.
Never rode an elephant. Although I loved to visit them at the Zoo.
Never been to Jerusalem (yet). Always wanted to go...
Never ate snails (escargot- yuk!)
Never ate sushi (another yuk!).
Never captained a ship. Don't have sea legs.
Never was president of the United States. What woman has?
Never was a nun. Although I've visited monasteries.
Never rode a motorcycle. Didn't feel safe.
Never had a tattoo. Never wanted one.


Oh dear....Where does this end???????????:D
 

I've never ridden in an Uber or Lyft or whatever the hell they're called.
I've never bought a brand new car... always used. I'm cheap.
I've never watched a reality show.
I've never worn a tuxedo.
I've never gone to any of my graduations... not high school, not community college, not university.
I've never flown 1st class.

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. :)

yes apparently there's quite a few well off elderly who live year round on cruise ships, and or high end hotels.. apparently cheaper than a nursing home, and far more enjoyable. American actress Elaine Stritch lived in the London Savoy hotel for 13 years and afterwards the Carlisle Hotel Manhattan NY.. and Richard Harris lived in the Savoy for 15 years
 
I have never been to one of my graduations ... too boring and crowded.
I have never been to a rock concert ... too crowded and loud
I have never been on a cruise ... don't want to
No tattoos.
Never eaten sushi, avocados, or olives, and don't intend to.
Never used any illegal drugs, except pot.
Never went to a prom or any school dance ... didn't want to.
Never gotten pulled over by the police.
Never caused a car accident.
 
I thought there were a lot of good answers listed. Some of the things listed made me realize that I also didn’t do things people I knew did.

The big one that I forgot was that I never went to a prom. In my junior year in high school, I was too cheap to go and in my senior year, I hate to admit it, but I had two dates and didn’t know how to get out of it, so I cancelled out both of them. This is a long story and I really don’t want to go into it. I did learn a life lesson through it.

When you say peers, I didn't know if you mean people my age or people who have been my friends and associates. If you mean the latter, I actually can't think of anything except "died" as @Knight replied. All of the girls who grew up on my block that I played with have died (some a couple of decades ago) and so have several of my co-workers from my "work-home". :cry:

Peers ..meaning the average people of your age group :)

Wow. I didn't get my license until I was thirty and that was rare.

I just asked Google how many seniors had tattoos and only 16% do, so I guess I can't list that as a thing most of my peer group has done.

I've never played a video game like pac-man, not even sure what to call them?

For the first three I thought you were going for a rear-end theme, but the anchovies just don't fit.:giggle:

I didn't finish college either, but made sure my kids all got bachelor degrees, at least.

Never had a broken bone or needed a sling or crutches for an injury.
Never had a hangover, though I earned a doozy on more than one occasion back in my wanton youth.
Never divorced.
No tattoos - though very few of my peers have, so I'm only mentioning it because others have ↑↑↑.

Looking at the long list of things that many SF-ers haven't done but I have, it seems I've been at least somewhat adventurous in this life. No regrets about that.

My mother was so unimpressed by the fact that I had only gotten a high school diploma that she didn't attend my high school graduation; she even told me not too long before she died that she was very disappointed none of her kids had gotten a college degree. And sometimes I agree with her; not that I think that it would have automatically made me a more worthwhile person, but I think there are at least some others who would've thought that and that would've made my life easier sometimes; you know, at least a little bit less scorn thrown my way.

On the other hand, the elderly mother of my co-worker flew 3,000 miles to attend her granddaughter's high school graduation since not that many in the family had graduated high school; but when the granddaughter graduated college wouldn't attend because "what do girls need with a college degree; she should just concentrate on getting a good husband!"

I know very little about horses and nothing about the Kardashians, so I don't understand your comment...
