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!

Scroll down to read these confessions, and don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

Lucky. I have three little brothers who are OBSESSED with McDonald's. It's garbage.

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".

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.

I hate having to park, battle crowds, hope what I want is in stock and then wait in line to buy it. Generally, if Amazon doesn't have it, I don't need it. I have Amazon Prime to get free shipping and I get a delivery almost every day.

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.

Before smartphones, I used to just sit there with no distraction. Your head gets into the deepest phylosophical thoughts (modernly, these are called shower thoughts because after smartphones people changed habits). Hence, Rodin's thinking man. That's how it looks like. ♥

Good. Just think a little about the hygiene aspects of this. Even with the lid down each flush spurts out micro-droplets of toilet water ( with all that yuck stuff). .... and where are you going to put your book/ phone?

Same. I'm never in there long and I know phones are supposed to be disgustingly dirty anyway but I don't like the idea of my phone being in the bathroom.

Do your business and leave. It only takes minute if your body works right - except for men, heaven knows why their bowels are so slow.

You must not have kids. In the bathroom with the door locked is the only place for a few minutes peace and quiet.
