I can beat you at that--I've NEVER learned to ride a bike. And I'm 32....

Never PAID to use a Smarte Cart. Always use them, but can't accept the idea of paying for one. Once I tired to take on in the outer lobby of ORD and the Smarte Carte guy caught me and started yelling at me!

I love this thread!


I flew as an adult for nearly 10 years after the introduction of FF programs before getting off my sorry butt and joining. Now I rue the "original" miles I passed up.

I have never used a drink coupon in-flight or in an airline lounge. I have never had an alcoholic drink on a plane or in a lounge. I have never tasted alcohol in my life, despite having no religious or moral basis -- everyone else in my family drinks. It simply never interested me. Now, I have enough airline drink coupons to wallpaper my bedroom.

I have never sampled UA's Starbucks coffee or AA's Colombian coffee. I have never drunk coffee to give me a charge before or during travel or to stay awake. In fact, I have never tasted coffee (or tea) in my life, despite having no religious or moral basis. It simply never interested me.

I would burn the aforementioned drink coupons, but I have never lit a match in my life. This one I really can't explain, but I guess I have never had occasion to light anything. I've never smoked, or even lit a candle.

I have flown through DFW more times than I care to think about, but I have never been to Dallas and can't honestly tell you what direction it is from the airport.

Despite being passionate about geography, until I was in my late 20's I kept confusing the locations of Chicago and Detroit.

Until last month I had never been to Asia, not even for a mileage run.

I have seen hundreds of movies on airplanes and in cinemas, but I have never seen Star Wars.


There, all out in the open.

1. Never got on a plane without checking luggage.
2. Never helped an 80 Pound Person lift their 80 pound rollaboard to the overhead bins.

Wow you get my vote

On a trip to CA, I took the city bus from LA Union Station to LAX for a 2am red eye. Transfered on Century Blvd alone at midnight.... years later I realized I was in South Central LA. Doh!

Ding, ding, ding! We have new player atop the leader board. Horizons, the only two adults that I have every known not to drink caffeine or alcohol were my two Mormon ex-electronic house arrest business partners. But to have never lit a match....Epic. And never seeing Star Wars is just gravy. Please don�t tell me that you have never had sex, else I will have to crown you Captain-for-life of our ship of fools.

Well I won't win anything... there are three more things to add...

*Never Owned a Tux
*Never owned a car... and that's because:

CONFESSION TIME: I NEVER HAD A DRIVER'S LICENSE!

(I loved being driven )

Jailer, the only ones that I knew who didn't ever drink or have caffeine were LDS as well, but the match thing really blew me away

kyklin,

Sorry, but no points. I am a member as well. Wish I was that flexible now. And to think it wasnt even a scheduled flight

ROFL!!... no, I'm afraid I won't be commanding this or any other ship in that case. But I'm not and likely never will be in the MHC (how do you think the chaste women of Mount Holyoke College feel about our little abbreviation??).

The caffeine and alcohol thing may also be why I love visiting my dentist -- I'm now in my 40's and have never had a cavity or other mouth problem. But I can't control that; the intake and the match lighting stuff I can!

Oh, I had meant to add that Chicago and Detroit were confusing to me because they were both on the western shore of a big lake, but beyond that I hadn't a clue. I grew up in Europe and the East Coast, and the Midwest was one big cornfield to me. After 6 years living in Chicago for grad school, I now know better.

There are some very interesting "confessions" among us. Thanks a lot for starting this, Jailer. It was good to meet you last year in Long Beach.

The scariest thing to me in life is none other than going to the dentist's.

Guess who I married?

A DENTIST!

I checked three bags at a time... Gave him a good tip, he winked and moved them along. Good thing he never checked what was inside!!!

I have checked Christmas presents (actually I checked Christmas presents in May and June last year and in April this year) because I cannot STAND to pay for shipping!!! When it absolutely positively has to be there for free... They were all GAP clothes or Toys. Most of the Toys made lots of noise if shook, so I would have loved to watch the men picking up and loading those puppies on!

I have gotten a new suitcase from the airlines because they have ruined my bag!!!

Never ever bought or sold anything on ebay!

I fell down the stairs with my hands in my pockets one time.
