I've never eaten lobster. I'm not the slightest bit tempted to eat your bug meat that's only palatable when slathered in butter.

Honestly it’s relatively flavourless. Have Crayfish in NZ instead. Smaller animal, far more flavour.

The first wedding I ever attended was my own...and I was 35. I somehow had friends & family who didn't get or were already married my entire life.

Still never been to a birth or a funeral.

Never went to public or private school until university.

I've never had a headache which wasn't the direct result of hitting my head or a hangover.

I am half convinced people's "random" headaches are all fake and humanity has just kind of silently agreed that "the headache" will be a socially acceptable way to back out of minorly annoying but otherwise low stakes obligations.

Edit - does this mean I win the thread?

I never had one until I was 17 and woke up with a crushing migraine, puking and crying. Those continued (not frequent but crazy intense) until I got pregnant, a pause each time I was. Menopause didn't stop them (so disappointing) but menopause plus low dose hormones has pretty much done the trick.

But I've never had a "regular" headache, like a tension headache. Only migraine, hangover, sinus.

What I wanted to say though is that you are so lucky if your head never hurts, like hurts so infrequently that you think people are faking it. It's a terrible place to hurt.

Never had sex with anyone but my wife. Met her at 17. Now approaching 40.

That's hard to imagine.

I've never seen a human being other than through glass

You're gonna have to explain that one.

Nah, they're an alien. Probably been to a human zoo or something.
