Well, I never....?

Asked by Jonesn4burgers (7299points) November 18th, 2013

We’ve all heard the saying. What about you? What is completely legal but you have never done, and never will, wouldn’t if you had the chance?

BASE or bunjee jumping. Never, ever.

I never say never really but I can’t ever imagine cheating on my husband.

ucme's avatar

Flew in a plane & never will, unless they fit parachutes as standard & only then if it’s those pully chord types that you can steer with & have a really soft landing.

tom_g's avatar

Well, I learned a long time ago to stop using “I will never”. That said, I have never gambled, played the lottery, or purchased a scratch ticket – and don’t plan to.

ibstubro's avatar

Oddly enough, it never occurred to me to smell a dog’s butt until I saw your question.

I’m still not gonna.

Coloma's avatar

Cut any slack with manipulative and passive aggressive personalities.

Eat organ meats

Gamble

Drink hard alcohol well, the occasional bloody mary

Lock my car

Iron ANYTHING

I DO, take risks, go up in hot air balloons, ride wild horses, raft white water rapids, go off exploring on my own in foreign countries, make happy brownies and always go outside at night when I hear strange noises, maybe I’ll see a mountain lion! :-)

SCUBA diving.

I have absolutely no desire to ever be in an oxygen-free environment, my air supply protected by only a thin strip of rubber tubing.

I would literally feel safer in a spaceship than I would underwater.

That said, I might go sky-diving soon. Pretty stoked about that.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

@ibstubro I bet all dogs now breathe easier. Hahahahahahahahahaha!
@Seek_Kolinahr While I don’t share your fear, I can easily understand it. I saw a contraption on a travel program, episode the Bahamas. It is sort of a mini one person sub, but not fully contained. Each person is diving, the contraption domed over them. Oxygen is around you like a mini atmosphere. HELP! I’m not computer savvy enough to know how to post a link. Does someone else know of these, who could show her what I mean? They look really cool, and I would love an opportunity to try it.
If you do that sky diving, be sure to share after, how it went.

Seek's avatar

Linking is really easy. Just write this, without the spaces after the quotes.

” Link, bro! ” :http://link.bro

I’m another ‘never say never’ type, but anything to do with heights, I’m out.

Wouldn’t cheat on hubs, wouldn’t get a divorce, wouldn’t live without pets, wouldn’t rack up thousands in bills I had no intention of paying, wouldn’t do crack or any kind of stimulant (minus caffeine or something innocous).

snowberry's avatar

Um, I’d LIKE to say I’ll never set foot in a hospital, but that’s not answering the question because I’ll probably end up in one sooner or later. I can say I’d never eat yellow snow.

anniereborn's avatar

Abuse a person or any other creature directly. (I say directly because of the butterfly effect)

anniereborn's avatar

Oh crap…....that stuff is illegal. I forgot that part of the question.
Well it’s illegal to harm a human. But animals are quite the different story….in general.

ibstubro's avatar

As long as the air is comin out that end, @Jonesn4burgers, we’re all good! No cheating with long-distance butt smells. :-/

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Well I never!

ibstubro's avatar

^^ Pul LEESE! Like anyone here’s falling for that tall tale!

Coloma's avatar

^^^ I beg you to pardon your long distance butt smells!

ibstubro's avatar

^^ Like Ms. Goosey has never been loosey!

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Oh, those wild nights in my hot tub with a randy gander. lol

ibstubro's avatar

^^ I was thinking loose just a little behind that kinda loose, Goose!

I will never hold a snake.

Take a lady-like dump at a McDonald’s. Skeeeeezes me out.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Sueanne_Tremendous Any public restroom for that matter, ugh, I’m with you on that.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Had a 3-some. Ugh.

janbb's avatar

Pick up a guy in a bar for a one night stand.

Dutchess_III's avatar

^^^Never did that either.

ibstubro's avatar

Try on clothes in a carpeted dressing room.

snowberry's avatar

OK, I’ll bite. What’s the deal with carpeted dressing rooms? Do they harbor pathogens that dressing rooms with tile floors don’t have?

I will never have a young body again (partly because I’m old, and partly because I have no interest in paying someone to make me look the part).

Seek's avatar

That is a lot of pairs of naked, sweaty shopper feet.

ibstubro's avatar

Several years back a local tanning salon had a huge outbreak of crabs. Seems one of the customers had a bad case of crabs and some would fall to the carpet as they dis- and re-robed. The crabs would then get on the clothes or socks of the next client, and so on…

As much as that SOUNDS like an urban myth, it is a true local happening.

Now, @snowberry, bite off more than you care to chew? ;-)

El_Cadejo's avatar

@Seek_Kolinahr That’s a shame. SCUBA diving was hands down one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. It’s a bit odd at first to get used to breathing underwater but once you accustom yourself to it….wow…. a whole other world down there, and the weightlessness is just amazing. It’s not as dangerous as some make it out to be either as long as you have a buddy with you and don’t do anything retarded, you’ll be fine.

Seek's avatar

@uberbatman

<understatement> I’m not an accomplished swimmer. </understatement>
I tried snorkeling once and nearly killed myself. I’m just fine staying within chest-height at the beach. If I ever have the opportunity to go down in a submarine, I’ll take it, but breathing through a hose and relying on my own propulsion is not for me.

longgone's avatar

I would never…
...go hunting. I don’t have any desire to shoot animals. Nor humans.

I also have zero desire to go to space, but if it were more comfortable, I could change my mind there.
@uberbatman A whole other world down there, and the weightlessness is just amazing. I agree. After I went shark diving for the first time, I spent the whole two hour ride back home smiling.

snowberry's avatar

@ibstubro Now that makes sense. Thanks. And no, I didn’t bit off more than I can chew. I love to read about creepie crawlies, their life cycle, and so on. The times we have actually had an infestation of one kind or another, my understanding of their life cycle was crucial to combatting them.

I’m also with Seek. I can barely handle snorkeling, and don’t ever ask me to “clear my mask” without taking it off and wiping it dry. LOL. I simply can’t do it.

Coloma's avatar

@longgone Oh yes, I could, would NEVER kill an animal, I’d eat twigs and dirt first. My old goose “Marwyn: is 15 now, raised him from a wee gosling.
If he was the last piece of meat on earth I’d kill any human that dared ruffle even one of his beautiful feathers. My darling! lol

Seek's avatar

Well, Marwyn is a person. That’s different.

Sirloin and Cheeseburger were food from the start.

Coloma's avatar

^^^ True, he is a person, humans are his flock and I say flock off if you even remotely think of him with a citrus glaze or plum sauce. No body cooks my goose! lol

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Roger that! lol

Judi's avatar

I’m sad that I’m to old to ever be a Disney Princess.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I never became an official Weeki Wachee Mermaid. Sniffles. But I’m teaching my grandkids how to be one. Lord knows I practiced enough growing up and had the scrapes and bruises to prove it.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Seek_Kolinahr You are not alone in the snorkeling, I almost drowned myself before I realized I needed the whole mouthpiece inside my mouth, ugh, so gross.

Smitha's avatar

Break someone’s heart intentionally.

AshLeigh's avatar

Gone fishing.

ibstubro's avatar

Fishing’s really relaxing, @AshLeigh. You should try it now that you’ve graduated. lol

AshLeigh's avatar

@ibstubro, as an Alaskan, I should go fishing. But I don’t like fish, so I don’t see the point.

ibstubro's avatar

I LOVE fish. Send me some salmon!

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

DITTO! Salmon here too please.
I look down through these reponses, and I see that I’ve done most of them. It makes me wonder about things a bit. I haven’t jumped from a plane, bridge, or cliff. I think I would have gone skydiving, if the opportunity presented itself without my having to pursue it. Bungee jumping though, looks like just some opportunity to spray my previous meal to me. I would much rather do some zip lining if I were going to do high speed attached to a cable, cord or the like. One thing I’ve never done, and never will, is handling venemous snakes or insects for sport. I like non venemous snakes, caught one when I was a kid to keep for a pet. He/she was soon evicted. My daughter catches them all summer long, and sometimes she hands them off to me. I love how they curl around my forearm for warmth, like a spindely snuggle. Within minutes they become so docile you can let go, and they’ll just stay put and look around. Nothing with a loaded bite though.

ibstubro's avatar

What I really wanted to do a couple of years back was roll down the hill in one of thos giant bubbles, @Jonesn4burgers. I hope you know what I mean…I can’t remember what it’s called and don’t want to spend an hour trying to find it on the internet. It’s a giant clear, inflatable ball that they enclose you in and push down a hill.

BTW, aren’t you glad Askville died and sent us to Fluther! lol

Dutchess_III's avatar

I want to walk on water with one of them bubble things.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

@Dutchess_III , @ibstubro ABSOLUTELY! Water soccer in bubble balls anyone? @ibstubro What’s an Askville? Yeah, I’m glad I found my way to Fluther, but not everybody made it with us. Lots more are here than I expected to find, though.

janbb's avatar

@ibstubro It’s called Zorbing.

ibstubro's avatar

Thank you @janbb. I so want to try Zorbing!

Dutchess_III's avatar

That reminds me…I have sherbet in the frizzer that need some attention.

ibstubro's avatar

Raspberry, I hope.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Mmmuh. Orange.

ibstubro's avatar

PINEAPPLE

Dutchess_III's avatar

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE!!

ibstubro's avatar

S.H.E.R.B.E.T.

or. as we say in the Midwestern South, _“sherbert”

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s the most common name for a girl in the Midwestern South, isn’t it @ibstubro?

Seek's avatar

Is there another way to say that word? it’s not the same thing as “sorbet”, is it?

Dutchess_III's avatar

And it’s sherBET, no R. It’s just really easy to slip one in though.

ibstubro's avatar

Also refers to the small footed bowl that was once the norm for serving Sherbet

Dutchess_III's avatar

Funny. I have some large, plastic wine-looking goblets that I dish my sherbet up it.

ibstubro's avatar

In elegant sets of glassware they double as champagne glasses.

Seek's avatar

Brass is so tacky… I much prefer silver

ibstubro's avatar

Actually those are gold anodized aluminum, @Seek_Kolinahr, much like the old aluminum drink sets you might have seen. I picked those out for you because they’re retro fun. :)

Seek's avatar

I want the green one!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Pretty pretty!

ibstubro's avatar

I have it on good report that the straight sided tumblers in an. al. came packed with cottage cheese. The tumblers were ‘value added. When I was a kid, they were a favorite at Gramma house. If you get them really cold your tongue or lip will stick to them but they warm so quickly that turns loose in just a second or 2. Daring fun for little kids!!

ibstubro's avatar

What looks like gold on the sherbets is actually more yellow than gold, with a festive green liner. Delicious for the eye with a scoop of Raspberry or Orange sherbet!

:)
