    Do you mean other people wouldn’t believe we’ve never done it or that they wouldn’t believe us if we said we did due to being so associated with never having done it?

        People often don’t believe I never went to vocal therapy or anything. Some people are skeptical of my NZ accent since I’m not anywhere where it’s common and ask if it’s artificial. If anything, it actually used to sound more Maori-ish, but certain neurological symptoms when I was little caused it to Kiwify. People think I’m just attention-seeking by having an accent I never asked for.

          Me too, should we start a community for accidental criminals?

          Edit to add: I accidentally shoplifted shoelaces. I put them in the breast pocket of my shirt while looking for a few other things in the store. I think I left without buying anything at all.

            Just dese too yoots.

            (It’s a reference to the courtroom dramedy film My Cousin Vinny, in which two innocent boys from New York driving throuth Alabama stop at a convenience store for groceries, one has so much food he’s carrying he sticks a can of tuna in his pocket, forgets about it by the time he gets to the register, realizes it’s in his pocket after they leave, and are then arrested for first degree murder. Joe Pesci ensues.)

              Ah, of course! It has been far too long since I’ve watched My Cousin Vinny and I shall take this as a sign that it’s time.

          It has to be genetic. My partner brushes AND flosses and I’ve never flossed and had a period of my life raving and staying over places without a toothbrush. Brushing sometimes. I’m in my late 30s and have never had a cavity. They are 30 and have had lots of them.

        I’ve never even seen one in real life.

        Granted they’re probably made of something that’s regulated here so…

        Yeah, knew it;

        The EU requires warning labels on artificial dyes. And countries like Austria, Finland and Norway don’t even take the chance of putting Twinkies on their shelves. Read about Yellow 5 dye and the horrible health effects here.

        (such a spammy site no point linking the source I sure that can be checked somewhere else)

        Never appealed to me. If I were to choose something in that class a Hostess Cup Cake always seemed like the more obvious choice.

        That being said Little Debbie > Hostess. Give me an Oatmeal Cookie, Star Crunch, or Nutty Buddy over either of those every day…

      How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?

        I didn’t even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.

      I’ve never been stung by a bee either! I’ve had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee’s version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in “their” territory. … My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they’ll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It’s wild.

    So far I’ve seen only pretty believable answers here so I’ll add my own: I’ve never been drunk enough to pass out, vomit, forget things or fall.

    My coworkers are always surprised when they first learn that I didn’t even finish high school. I work with people who are mostly highly educated. Most with masters degrees, a few with bachelor’s. While they were studying, I was seeking out over some project that I did just for fun. Turns out that the skills I ended up with were exactly what my career for the past 15 years needs.

    Never smoked a cigarette. Not even took a single drag. I’m not even sure I ever touched one.

      I’ve done just about every drug out there. Had a pretty significant meth problem in my late teens and early 20’s. Never smoked a cigarette.

      Just always seemed too gross to be worth it.

    I’ve never eaten lobster. I’m not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that’s only palatable when slathered in butter.

      Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.

    alls Ill say is : I could turn you inside-out, with what I choose, not to do. Seriously though im way nerdy and introvert type but im in my 50’s so like eventually you do things. Never smoked though or taken a non prescription drug unless you include alcohol. Oh kratem but did not really have any effect.
