Hey! I have limited time. I love that Hot Dog! 
Although not qualifing under the rules of "something you have not done that everyone else has"...I do have a humiliating one to 'fess up to.
Several years ago I went to Singapore mainly because I had never been there before. When I checked into the Raffles Hotel they welcomed me "back!" I asked, "What are you talking about?" And they informed me that this was my third stay with them! Huh? They had my correct name and passport number.
When I got home I did some research and found out I had indeed been there twice before! I even found pictures of me at The Long Bar!
My only explanation is that I flew sooooo much on business and often did several countries in one day in Asia, that I must have just been in Singapore for one-night layovers, and never gave it any thought because I was so busy with other matters. You know...plane lands, limo to the hotel, next morning limo back to the airport...hello, I must be going?
I'm sure glad I at least remembered to pay my hotel bill!

OK jailer, I'm stroking your ego here buddy.
I've never had drinks with flight attendants (from my flight) at a hotel. And the last time, it was the cute ones birthday! (and I flew with her once B4, but my wife was with me.)

This isn't travel related, but I've never had a Starbucks Coffee or any coffee related invention that they sell.
I've never seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Never been to Spain..OR Oklahoma, been to Arizona but what does it matter

Have a great day!!

Now that Humiliation has, like a bad penny, returned, please remember that the goal is to narc yourself. Bragging that you have flown Air Force One thirteen times because you are the Presidents girlfriends spiritual advisor is simply not in the spirit of the game. Going to Singapore, as did the dearly departed PREMEX, because you had never been, only to find out that you had been twice but forgotten....now thats embarrassing.
On my first flight at age five, on my way to visit grandma in Miami, I pushed all the buttons in the lavatory resulting in the stewardess barging in while I was, how should I say, in midstream. The resulting fixation that I now have on airplane lavatories and stewardesses is grist for another thread, another time.

* I've never been upgraded to first class.
* I fly over 100K miles a year, but never more then 20K on any one airline because of the $ of the ticket.
* I hate checking luggage, so I bring everything on board with me and will pack a weeks worth of clothes in a 2-3 day piece of luggage. If I need additional clothes I buy them when I get to my destination and either fedex it back or leave it behind.
Oh and here's a bad one...
* When I get to my section of the plane, if my overhead bin is full and there is no one seated in my row, I will remove the luggage and put mine there.
Lastly,
* At my previous job I spent over $200,000/yr on my corp AMEX and never signed up for the rewards program because I would feel guilty earning personal rewards for business expenses.
And then I found this web site... and I am a new person.

I've never used miles for upgrades or FC tickets.... only for coach tickets.
Some people here swear that int'l upgrades are the best use for miles... but I'd rather fly in coach with a buddy than in FC alone.
I've never been to or through Denver.
I've always had 3 hour or longer connections in MSP, and I go through MSP often as a NW/CO Elite. I'll always override the automatic 45 min. connections so I can spend a few hours at home having lunch with family. (I grew up 2 miles from MSP, on the bus route from the airport to downtown Mpls.)

I've pretended that I have a deathly fear of flying and that I will throw up on everybody if I don't get window seat . . .
