You know that face your friend makes when you tell them you haven't tried a certain type of ice-cream? Or when you reveal that you haven't done something that the majority of people consider to be the most ordinary things? Well, prepare to make that face yourself as we dive deep into the list of the most basic things some people have never tried in their lifetime, and some are even secretly proud of it. From never biting on a pear to never learning how to ride a bicycle, some people are really doing the opposite of living life on the edge. This Bored Panda challenge invites you to write down the things you haven't tried and to add them to our post!

Never walked by a dog without smiling at it.
Also..I've never watched an episode of Game of Thrones, Walking Dead or have seen any of the Twilight movies.
You can agree with the post without offending others....smh.
Load More Replies...I'm astounded that Game of Thrones and Walking Dead have been lumped together with Twilight. I guess if fantasy/sci fi aren't your thing they just aren't your thing!
Game of Thrones was great until season 6, then they screwed up quite a lot. I was also avoiding Game of Thrones until 2015, where one of my friends urged me to watch it, I was hesitant, very hesitant, but once I started I binge watched the first 5 seasons in like two weeks. Walking Dead same, but I stopped at season 3, but I never got involved much into it. Never watched any Twilight movie.
Load More Replies...It's so annoying when people think they have sophisticated taste just because they don't watch what's popular. You do realize that by choosing not to watch something because it's popular, you're doing the exact same thing as people who only watch popular shows. (Spooky voice) You're one of the masses tooooooooo!
You added "sophisticated". Why do you assume you know what I think? None of those are my preferred genre.
Load More Replies...im the same as you,and i have never seen any of the Harry Potter movies either
nor have I, though I added Walking Dead to my Netflix queue recently
I once watch Game of thrones due to my friend constantly insisting. I just could stand like 15 minutes before fall asleep haha
First 2 are worth a look but be thankful for that Twilight rubbish. WORST MOVIES EVER aside from all things with Adam Sandler in it!
I don't care much for Adam Sander in anything either.
Load More Replies...Idgaf about the other two... But the walking dead... I grew up with that s**t man
Moi aussi to the first two. And unfortunately i did see one of the Twilight films ONLY because I’d walked into the wrong cinema at the multiplex— so I endured through it with the sea of prepubescent girls ... it was filmed here in Vancouver BC — so that was about the most interesting thing about that.
I have also not watched any Harry potter movies or Pirates of the Caribbean
Wow, BPs. Stirring up controversy can be a fun exercise in allowing others to reveal how much they - jump to conclusions, speak from immaturity, presume implications that are not said as if they were, judge and/or condemn others for expressing their views that differ from your own. -- Your reactions to my comment speak for themselves.
God I thought I was the only one... I like being out of the loop sometimes
You're not. Thank God there is variety in this would. We can choose what we like, and avoid what we don't.
Load More Replies...You're exceptionally lucky on the Twilight "movies". I was forcibly made to watch them, and now I'll never hear Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and not think of that dumb a*s Edward sparkling in the sun.
Me either. I've also never seen any Star Wars or Lord of the Rings movies.
Well i havent seen Breaking Bad as well... Same goes for Friends or Big Bang Theory... Oh well
Me either. Nor any Harry Potter. I saw one Dr Who when I was in the UK in the early 80's, boring as f**k. Such poor production value. I have, though, seen every Red Dwarf.
I've watched the first few minutes of the first episode of WD, but neither of the others.
I watched a couple of walking dead episodes but none of the others.. don't care for the walking dead either.
First off Game of thrones is by far the most addictive TV series I've ever seen or movie I've ever seen in my entire life once you see one episode you are hooked and it's worth watchinbg. it's not like 90210 which was a piece of s*** I can't stand that c**p anyways check it out I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me once you've watched it and there's some sexy sexy women in there and I'm a woman and I do every one of them lots of beautiful naked bodies
Same, except for the twilight movies....those glittery chested vamp-purrrs are strangely polarizing
I've never watched Walking Dead nor Twilight, but did watch GoT and you should watch it too, its great. BTW, don't feel special if you haven't watched GoT, cause we who have are the minority.
Some people enjoy them.. some don't. What I don't understand is how long this has been dragged on and on and on. SOOO many memes about " I've never watched a single episode of Game of Thrones" like it's some right of passage bragging trophy. So you've never watched it? So what. I've never seen the entirety of a single super bowl. No one cares. Carry on watching what you DO love.. no need to brag that you don't watch something popular.
Me neither, but I'd like to watch GOT once I have the time.
I've never seen Sound of Music or had a wine cooler. I think they are somehow related?
Me either... I haven't watched Breaking Bad either. I did see the first Twilight movie other than that I own all of them, but haven't watched them and I'm in no rush to either. I only own them because my sister's thought I'd like them after I read the books. Needless to say I was disappointed in the first movie didn't have I heart to tell my sisters I didn't like it.
I usually like movies with death and violence but these shows seem over produced and over promoted. It’s like religion for some people.
I know a lot of penacostal church cults that don't watch any tv at all or even have one in their homes. Pretty common. That & many things like Christmas trees are evil. So they don't have those either.
I tried to watch GoT but it was just too boring. I have seen one Twilight movie at a party where everyone was really drunk. I have seen all episodes of The Walking Dead - most of them are horrible but there are some really well made episodes that I have enjoyed very much.
I've seen the first two, but not Twilight. Walking Dead I gave up on, too much of the same gore.
I've never watched GOT, Walking Dead, any of the Harry Potter movies or Spongebob. If there's a quiz about any of them at the pearly gates, that's it for me
Me either. I've read all the GOT books and figure I'll binge watch the entire series when it's over.
Never seen GOT, any of the twilight movies and i watched the first 3 seasons of Walking Dead before i found it boring and gave up.
since the final episode is coming up... I was like LET'S WATCH THAT GOT so that I don't need to wait for some months or years
Ditto. Eveyone thinks I'd like all three, but I've seen previews and such and am not even slightly interested. But yay for those who do like them--lots to watch.
me too but i didn't like any...won't insult someone who does, tho
Load More Replies...CAROL! Homegirl. I used to HAAATE zombies too. I thought it was the dumbest s**t ever and I just didn’t watch anything related to them. But I tried the walking dead and it was amazing. It’s not just about zombies, and the plot / acting is good. I’ve never seen GoT or Twilight either so I can’t speak for those.
I understand how some people like it. But I've seen 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead and they all just seemed kinda the same..all gore..same plot. I know they list I Am Legend as a zombie movie..but I kinda thought the 'monsters' in there reminded me more of vampires than zombies. Give me a good ghost/haunting/poltergeist story any day. I'll leave the zombie movies to you guys.
Load More Replies...No need to worry. The plots are all the same: they're all trying to kill eachother. Some die. Some don't.
me either apart the twilight part but only because I was guest at a friend's house and they started playing one of the twilight movies... but I can't really say I watched it
What's the point of living at all if you haven't seen Game of Thrones?
Several billion people who have over the last 6k+ years might disagree with you. Where would your life be if that series was never written? Whatever will you do when it ends?
Load More Replies...Never broken a bone
So far, I have never died!
I have never learned how to ride a bike.
When people say "this will be as easy as riding a bike" my brain always immediately thinks "yikes".
I have never lost my keys. I still use the same keychain that I got at 12 (I'm just changing the keys or adding new ones)
Never used an X Box or Playstation.
My daughter was incredulous when I told her I had never heard the menu music from a Wii.
I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars films
(Not a requirement for an astrophysics PhD, thankfully)
Never watched a game of football. Don't even know the rules. I thought I could name 3 football players, but it turns out David Beckham has retired and George Best is dead, so I'm down to Wayne Rooney.
Smelling Something
Was born without a sense of smell. Closest I come is tasting something in the air.
Never been knocked out
Never changed a car tyre. Not exactly proud, it just hasn't come up.
Not a difficult task. Interestingly, I changed three tires in my life, despite never owning a car. Turns out there are a lot of people out there that have cars but don't know how to do it and are completely helpless as a result. I only knew how because I had watched my grandpa do it as a kid once.
I've never been stung by a bee. I'm 45.
Been on facebook or even seen what its user interface or whatever it's called looks like
I graduated film school without seeing Citizen Kane. Still haven't.
I saw it and when it was over was amazed about the hype.....just another black and white....
Ive never had chewing gum. I just dont see the appeal? Like you, chew it for a bif then spit it out? I dont know
Read anything in bathroom while on the toilet
Ordered a drink at a bar
Never seen Titanic. Never been in a Walmart. Never been on a bus.
I am 46, never got a filling! Still all my original teeth in original condition!
Make it 47 and still no change!!! Yay me. I have never met someone whom is my age with the same luck!
Load More Replies...A couple were funny or cute. A lot were sad. If you've got a big ol' list of things you've never done, you've gone from being selective or quirky to being either terribly sheltered or snobbish.
Not necessarily. Maybe you haven't watched a ton of trash movies or tv shows. It's sad if you haven't traveled, but maybe you don't have money or maybe you're just super comfortable at home.
Load More Replies...I have never read all the submissions to a post all the way through. I get halfway and scroll down here.
I don't know if this counts but I know two people who have never had a headache. I've thought about cracking them over the head with a bat but it's just not the same.
Maybe they just didn't realise, where the pain is coming from. You know like little children, whose tummy hurts, when they break their arm.
Load More Replies...I love when Bored Panda informs me that someone replied to my comment and then utterly fails to take me there. Expanded this whole thread and can’t even find my own comment.
I've never been to an ikea or a Costco, never seen titanic or the notebook, and have never murdered anyone. However, on the opposite side of things I've done a few things some people have never done, like get bitten by an owl, pet a tiger and flown an airplane.
Pet a tiger is something you shouldn't be proud of. They just let you do it if they are babies (but shouldn't be exploited even then) or of they are drugged
Load More Replies...They support anti-LGBTQ organizations, so this is good that you have not been.
Load More Replies...It is really hard- was just thinking about what i never did and nothing special comes to my mind. I have never been to africa. I never cooked steak (tough eaten it)
Unless you're under 25 that's incredibly sad.
Load More Replies...A lot of these are sad. Either sad or like seem like they are preceded by "I'm better than you because I've never..."
Seems like a really weird thing to be proud of... like do you not have any other "accomplishments" in your life? Not watching a show is something to be "proud" of????
Load More Replies...I don't have tattoos or piercings, and I've never broken a bone (and I live in Austin, Tattoo and piercing city).
Considering that you are right about that, then you have been right and so forth you are not right about it.
Load More Replies...I have never been drunk. I tried some alcohol, but I just can't get over the feeling of "this is not right" when drinking it. Not morally, more like a physiological reaction to something I shouldn't eat. Alcohol just tastes slightly "toxic", if that makes sense. I even like small amounts (like pralines), but more than that and my body goes into "NOPE STOP IT" mode. I'm 34 and it actually impacts my social life a little bit, because drinking is the "default" and you always have to explain when you don't.
I've never seen any of the Marvel movies and I don't ever plan to.
I have never seen any super hero movie and i don't plan to
Load More Replies...I also have something that my teacher has never done. He has never eaten Ramon Noodles. He survived college without them.
I haven’t done 19 of these. Some of these, like ordering at a bar, I’m to young for.
never watched an episode of Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, 13 Reasons Why, The Good Place, Scandal, Mad Men, Bones, or Orange is The New Black.
32 and still have most of my milk teeth; no cavities, no fillings, but I have had shards of baby tooth removed because it was poking at nerves under one of my few adult teeth.
This is a massive no one cares post with extra comments of people saying more dumb s**t.
I never had a boyfriend and credit cards. Maybe that's why I have never lost my money. LOL.... I've never watched Game of Thrones, Frozen, Star Wars and Walking Dead and many other film/series that many are crazy about. I've never been to a zoo, either. Most of all, this may sound harsh but I have never told my parents I love them. I just show it but never say it.
I have never ever changed my phone number. I got it when I was 5th grade and I'm still using it 15 years later.
Never been to Olive Garden. Or Cheddars. Or went out of country. Or lived in another state. Or gone to therapy (goodness I wish I did.) To be honest, most of what I haven’t done, I’m kind of sad.
I’m Canadian and never have I ever seen bagged milk in person...
I've never watched a single episode of "reality tv" - unless you count cooking shows. Never watched any of the 50 Shades movies... tried to read the first "book" but was so disgusted by the horrific writing that I had to stop. Sadly, I've also never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.
Never consumed any alcohol or smoked a cigarette (...40 year old Aussie)
I have never fallen in love or lusted for someone. I think that's about the most universal thing that I don't have.
