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.
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.
It can be trivial if annoying, but sometimes it’s not trivial at all. I had to call AAA to help when I had removed all the bolts and the wheel still wouldn’t come off. The guy that came to help had to use a mallet to separate the wheel from the car. Apparently this happens sometimes. A virtual weld between surfaces develops.

This was a requirement from my drivers Ed teacher who wanted all us girls to learn so we would never be stuck! I still appreciate it to this day, although luckily its the only time I had to actually change one! lol
Good luck even finding the spare on a modern car. Our Dodge minivan, it's under the car, under the drivers seat, and you have to remove the center console to access the part that lowers the spare tire holder. In order to find the tool to do that, you have to remove a storage compartment in the rear and then remove a panel behind it. The jack is in a similar location, but on the other side. I had to watch a Youtube video just to determine if the car even HAD a spare! Oh, and there's no way to check the air pressure in the spare without doing all of the above, which takes about 20 minutes. Crazy. If that spare ever has to come out guess what? We will then have a spare stored under the 3rd seats in the back, where it ought to be. Changed a lot of tires in 50 years, most, back when it was easy to find the tire, the spare, and how to do it, unless you forgot the right side tires removed by turning the wrench the "wrong way" (look that up.) Easiest change ever was on a 65 MGB, knockoff hubs. no wrench needed... Rubber mallet instead. And the spare was mounted on the trunk lid.
That's what you get for owning a Dodge. No sympathy.

Your most important part is making sure the jack is in the right place ;) after that you cam probably figure it out. lol or call AAA
Everyone should know how to change a tire. It might not ever be needed, but when it happens, you NEED to know.
Me neither, my hubby is available to help or i call a friend . . . . .
No wonder, you don't seem to get it. You don't change a tire when it's up, youl change it when it goes down.
I know how to, and have, but if I can stand on the roadside and look, helpless, and have someone else come along and do it for me, I will. It’s a dirty job.
My father taught me how to change a flat tire, but I don’t have the strength required to change it anyway. Last flat I called AAA and the guy had a lot of trouble unscrewing the bolts. Nope, don’t have the strength.
It's not difficult. I was changing tires, replacing my water pump & bandaging my exhaust all on my own in college. Handy Scottish lady here...hehehehe - thanks dad for bringing me up with practical skills.
A spare tire maxes out at 50mph. Driving 30 miles home on slow roads with stop lights and stop signs in the rain took 2+ hours. I keep tire plugs and a can of fix-a-flat in my car now.
Ahhhh the American here to assume they spelled "tire" wrong. Not everything is the American way. There is a whole world around you.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
