No tattoos here.

Yes to pedicures and manicures and pierced ears, but only ears.

Have been to high school, college and pro football games.

NEVER burped? That's the one I find the most hard to believe of all. I'm just assuming your gas comes out from someplace else

Oh man, not sure how common snorting cocaine is. I guess we run in different circles.

Anyways for me common or at least sort of common things that I've never done. I'm only in my mid 40s though so probably not as old as many here.
Had a hangover.
Been in an ambulance
Broken a bone.
Been to a wedding or funeral outside my family.
Wore a suit and tie to work.
Rode a motorcycle or even moped.

I know, right? I asked a couple doctors and they said nothing to worry about. Just really weird though. You can google it, lol.

That's why I emphasized "common/everyday/ordinary".

I was in a hot air balloon once, but don't consider that "ordinary." Nor is being arrested, for most of us.

I would never sky-dive and don't eat sushi anymore, though I used to like it.

Ambulances are NO fun. Never until age 63 then 3 times over the same issue that I hope is solved now.

OK now, this is fun! These are ordinary things. I've done the first two, but like you on the last 5. Never even tried a cigarette. I can't get the hang of mj even, so just use edibles to sleep.

Gave a toast, is interesting, but that's too outgoing for me too.

I’ve never snorted cocaine
I’ve never had a pedicure
I’ve never had a manicure
Same here, except for the skiing in my teens/20s and one time ballooning. I might have watched a high school football game to see my "crush" but never any pro sports.
