"I Never Had And Never Will Do This": 13 Everyday Habits People Would Never Dare Do In Their Lifetime, And I Have To Agree With A Lot Of These
I don't know about you, but there are just a few things I never plan on doing in my life (i.e., going bungee jumping). So when Reddit user —Pretty-Opening761 asked: "What is one 'never have, never will' thing for you?" it was helpful to see what everyone agreed with never doing in their lives. Here's what some of them said below.
1."You know those hardcore mountain biking videos shot from a GoPro atop the biker's head? Yeah, that."
"I know someone who does these. Comes in to work every Monday looking like he’s had a fight with a lion."
2."Cheating whilst in a committed relationship"
"I firmly believe that cheating on someone when you are an adult, in a long-term committed relationship, is perhaps the worst thing you can do without breaking the law. That may sound dramatic, but it fucks people up on such a fundamental level, often for years. I say this as someone who has been on both sides. If you want to see other people, communicate. If you want to break up, do it. And if you just want to have your cake and eat it too, so to speak, then you're just the c-word, aren't you? And the same goes if you're the third party."
3."Smoke. I never had and never will smoke due to many people in my family have cancer, and I don’t wanna get something they wish they never had"
"I have smoked, but for me, it's chewing tobacco. I just can't understand its appeal at all. It's like putting shit inside your lip"
4."Give birth. I'm not a fan of children and the whole ordeal looks terrifying."
5."Go on a cruise. It sounds horrific to me. So many people. No."
"My SO refuses to cruise. His boss was a former medical director of a cruise and saw too many horrible things spread in a contained space. We aren’t germaphobes, but with that many people in close proximity with no escape, too many illnesses get passed around"
6."An Alexa or other in-home listening assistant"
7."No, I don't need to try your death pepper inferno sauce. Keep it for yourself."
"My brother loves that stuff so much. He wore a hole in his esophagus where it connects to the stomach and ended up digesting and shitting out half the blood in his body before he went to the ER.
They didn't believe he wasn't an alcoholic until he told them just how hot the hot sauces he was regularly eating were.
He doesn't do that so much anymore."
8."Run a marathon. I’ve never voluntarily run 26 miles, and I’m not about to start unless there’s free pizza at every mile marker."
9."Hot air balloons."
"Yeah, no, fuck that shit. I speak as the child of someone who was in a hot-air balloon accident (survived, thankfully). You do not want to get into one of those things.
My mother, two aunts, and grandfather (along with another passenger they didn’t know) went into a balloon as part of the New Mexico Hot Air Balloon Festival that happens every year.
They got hit by a huge gust of wind and got knocked into a set of power lines. Before the pilot could get the balloon down, a second gust of wind took them into a second set of power lines. The basket detached from the balloon, and they all fell a good 30 feet or so. They all slammed into the ground.
I'm not sure what happened to the pilot, but the person they didn’t know died, but everyone on my side survived, thankfully.
My mother had a shattered pelvis, and one of the bone fragments punctured her bladder. Both aunts had spinal fractures (but spinal cords were untouched, thank god). One aunt broke every toe in one of her feet also. My grandfather broke his neck, and we still don’t know how we survived that.
Everyone made a full recovery, thank god.
We still say to this day one of the biggest reasons they all survived was that they fell onto Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. People on the base saw the entire thing happen, and the EMS response was nearly instantaneous as a result."
10."TikTok. I’ve made it this far not watching the videos people send me; why start now?"
11."Spelunking in tight caves. I like my caves big and echoey, thank you very much."
12."I am proud to say I have never seen a single episode of the Bachelor/Bachelorette, The Kardashians, or any of the Real Housewives. Zero interest."
"I watched an episode of Survivor when it first came out (I don’t think I even finished watching it). I thought it was going to be about surviving in the wilderness or something. Turned out to be a game show of sorts. I wasn’t impressed.
I’ve only seen snippets of reality shows, here and there (not on purpose)… absolutely zero interest!"
13."Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and hoping your parachute isn't faulty."
