I've never broken a bone (knocks on wood)
I despise heights so I will never sky dive or bungee jump
The only instruments I've played were lame attempts... I've never regularly practiced and gotten good at playing anything.
Running for funs sucks, but I've done 12 because I had more fun taking turn punching people and getting punched back in the day.

Also, I should get bonus points for having a one night stand and not using protection with her Living real wild back in the day.

There should be a bonus point system lol...I can't lie and say all my one nighters were "protected". I think the intentions were always there, but shit gets crazy when alcohol and heat of the moment is involved. I remember praying to God when I went and got tested a few times.

Somehow, with all the stupid shit I've done in my life, I've still never ride in an ambulance... yet.

Feels like they should go hand in hand. I am putting an official "No Jinx" on this thread, knock on wood for al!

How many of these activities have you done. I saw a test online, can't link it but here is the gist. 1 pt for every activity done.
Scored 1-5--Get out of the basement and go do something.
Scored 6-10--Not a total waste, but need more experience.
Scored 11-15--Taking Advantage of life.
Scored 16-20--Life is your bitch.
Scored 20+--Can die knowing you have done it all.

Have you ever:
1. Gone Camping in a tent?
2. Visited another country?
3. Ridden a motorcycle?
4. Driven a stick shift vehicle?
5. Shot a gun?

7. Had a One Night Stand?
8. Gone Skydiving?
9. Gone skiing/snowboarding?
10. Attended a music Festival?
11. Ridden an ATV?

20. Played an instrument?
21. Been in Love?
22. Bungee Jumped?

I got 22 out of 25. Haven't done 7, 13, and 20. I still feel like I haven't done it all though. Constantly looking.
Edit... I replaced the barrier around my kids playground and had to cut to fit and put together. Not sure if that's too basic. I was thinking furniture. Either way...

Or young. Lots of time left brotha

Never broke a bone or bungee jumped. But I think the rating scale is too generous. Just lol at “life is your bitch” with 16. Most of these are common activities and the majority of gen X should have 20+. But mostly a statement about gen Z that these experiences are considered a flex.

I was amazed in the article how many people never caught a fish or drove a stick. I think the younger folks in here have probably not even had the opportunity to drive a stick.

Definitely driving a stick shift is an older guys advantage. Only people that had money when I was growing up had cars with an automatic transmission. So if you were a teenager you could count on getting a stick because it cost less. It's amazing to me that even when I travel with people about 10 years younger than me in these foreign countries none of them can drive a stick. For us it's what we grew up learning on. As soon as they made automatic transmission a standard option, anyone after that has no idea about stick shift

I took my drivers test with a stick and had only driven it 1x before. We all had them.

Yeah, I've heard about too many people getting hit by assholes not paying attention, so I just refuse to trust crosswalks anymore.

Anything that outweighs you by a tonne automatically has right of way. It doesn't matter who was technically in the right when you get splatteded.

Nope, I wish I'd been in a country and time where I sued her being she was charged on the spot for driving without undue care and attention. She got out of her car and looked to see if I'd made a dent rather than to see how I was.
