Things you have missed out on which everyone else seems to have done.

Drugs - question has never come up
although the smoke coming from under my neighbour's door when at University might count - it was a small shared corridor (8 foot long) with no other openings other than his door, mine and the one to the rest of the block - the smoke coming under his door was quite impressive

He was a medical student!!!!

Anyway - also smoking and proper gambling - like casinos and poker games and all that - just not interested

otherwise
er
things like boxing and the like - why go into an environment where someone else is going to try to hurt you????

Lots of things I would like to do but health makes it a bad idea - no point in getting red and white helicopters out just so I can "have a go"
would like to try a holiday doing some serious Scottish mountains but that would be stupid - did some when I was young but never knew where I really was - other read the map and planned it - would like to do it properly but won't

Same for buying an off shore boat - would love a nice SUnSeeker or similar but even if I could afford it it would be irresponsible

jumping out of an aeroplane is a non-starter - as it one of those higher level rope walk things - tried one - got 1 yard and came back! The ropes are fine - just put them near the damn ground!

Did loads of drugs in my late teens, in fact I’m surprised I’m still here!

Never did a degree, (probably because of the drugs!) which I still regret, although I have had a pretty successful career without one.

I never got the chance to camp out on the pavement for days in the pouring rain , to wave at the Queen as she took a few seconds to pass by!! 🧐

• Smoking; the "cool" kids at school who smoked were also unpleasant bullies so I figured if they were doing it, I wanted no truck with it.

I swapped a bit of a jam butty for a smoke when about 9. Didn’t like it, and didn’t try again.

I've never liked jam butties either.

Got to be honest, I never did well in school, but I reckon a lot of the clever kid's who went on to university in my year, would happily swap the rewards I've garnered in my career. I used to think if I'd known then what I know now, blah blah blah, but the truth is, I did what I did because I wanted to and I was desperate to be unleashed on the working world, and spending any more time in education was never going to do it for me. That changed years later when I realised I wasn't going to be the best or the strongest forever, and now I've learned that I pretty much would have been successful at anything I was motivated to succeed at, which probably sounds like I'm full of it, but its just an honest assessment of my experiences.

This thread has had me scratching my head as to what I have missed out on that everyone else seems to be doing, and I can't think of anything, so I guess that means I am happy with life so far.

I've never made a bucket list.
I've never slept with anyone other than my wife of 36 years.

 

[Jenkins]

Any music festival (although I have been to plenty of gigs)

Holidays (much rather just have a day or two away)

Supporting any football club, or any sporting team at all.

A century ride.

Thought I'd done one seven years back but was later told by a few friends I was about three miles short.

I only did it (on a mtb) because everyone else seemed to be doing them. It's something I'll never do now as three hours with my a*se in a saddle is my comfirt/tedium threshold.

Cheat and get an old brooks saddle!!!👍👍

Me too... Feel the pain esp compared to those who have wonderfully happy marriages..
