This is a fun little post series that has been around for a long time on the blogosphere. Lately Elisabeth has revived it, Kyria created a fun spin-off and I thought I jump on the band wagon. Short and sweet. Let’s go.
Never Have I Ever…
- Smoked a cigarette. Or done drugs – and proud.
- Not voted – I take my democratic duties very seriously.
- Been inside a mosque – will forever want to be inside the Dome of Rock.
- Bungee jumped. Or skydived – Nope. No interest. Ever.
- Been to Disneyland – not planning either. Didn’t grow up with Disney.
- Gone on a Blind Date. Or used a dating app. Not even signed up to one – I am lucky I found my person early on.
- Gotten a tattoo – but have tattooed someone.
- Bought a car – only ever leased or was provided one by my job.
- Done Decoupage – you would think I had tried that technique with all my creative endeavors. But no.
- Been an extra in a movie – unless social media posts count. Then you can see me here and here and here.
- Watched Sex in the City – I had to watch one episode during a long bus travel and I hated it.
- Run more than 800 meters in one stretch – gimme 10 sprints of 100 meter and I am fine but everything over 200 meters in one stretch kills me.
- Taken a cruise vacation – but I want to one day do a Hurtigruten cruise. (I am not counting the Mystery River Cruise I was working at.)
- Been drunk drunk – I have been tipsy. And I had a drink too many but usually I drink as much water as I drink alcohol so I always know what I am doing. I never want to feel I am not in control.
- Gone diving – and I am not really interested in it. I have a feeling I would not feel comfortable at it. I did scuba dive in the Red Sea though.
Have you done one of these posts? Anything that surprised you here? Should I tell you more about a thing? What is one thing you haven’t done but everyone else has?
This is list #1 in my “Do a 50 lists blog project” from my 101 in 1001 days goal list.

I love these kinds of posts!
I have never smoked a cigarette or done drugs. My grandma was a smoker when I was a kid. One day, she was babysitting me, and she went to the bathroom, leaving her cigarette burning in the ashtray. When she came out, I was holding the cigarette, about to test it out! She got me just in time, and after that, she quit smoking.
I have never been inside a mosque, bungee jumped, or skydived.
I have been to Tokyo Disneyland. My Japanese friend took us when we went to visit. It was fun!
I have also been to Disney World in Florida, and I loved Epcot. The fireworks were amazing.
I haven’t been on a blind date, or used a dating app, gotten or given a tattoo. I’m very curious about the tattoo you gave to someone!
My husband and I have bought vehicles, but I haven’t purchased one on my own.
I have done decoupage. I’m so surprised that you haven’t!
I have not been an extra in a movie, watched Sex and the City, or been on a cruise. I don’t run. Ever.
I have never gone diving or scuba diving.
I got very drunk once in college. Once was enough. I hardly ever drank after that. It’s not like I completely refuse alcohol, but it just doesn’t do much for me. If I went on a wine tasting tour, I would have sips. When we went to a professional baseball game, I had a beer and a hot dog. If someone were serving wine at a dinner party, I’d have a little.
Oh, these posts are always fun… I’ve also not smoked a cigarette or done drugs. I also rarely drink alcohol and have not been drunk ever.
I am surprised that you didn’t like Sex and the City. I have to ask: did you have to endure an episode that was dubbed in German? Because in that case, I’d understand… the dubbed version is awful and I would have never watched the whole series in German. It’s much better in English, IMHO.
It was definitely dumbed. I hate SJP voice. It’s such a high pitch voice.
I am surprised you watched. HA!
I have only ever had a couple of puffs of a cigarette (not good) and no drugs. I’ve been to Disneyland, once with my parents and once with my kids. I have technically bought a car (I always am the owner of our cars) but G usually does everything to do with it and I just sign the papers because I am not that interested. You know I’ve run more than 800m, and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands with my parents when I was ten. I have been drunk, drunk many times while I was a uni, and I did a short scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef.
Everything else I have not done. I’ve always voted because we have compulsory voting. I was married before online dating and apps were a thing, but the whole scene sounds awful.
I am sure you would have voted if it wasn’t compulsory.
I co-lease a car but I refuse to do anything with it as I don’t care really and I hardly use it.
Haha yes you definitely run more than 800 m.
So glad I never had to use dating apps.
These are always fun, although I never know whether to do the same in the comment or do my own post. I will split the difference. I tried to smoke a cigarette a couple of times – can’t remember why, but I was weak-willed and impressionable. I hated it. I have tried marijuana multiple times, mostly to see if it’s helpful for pain and sleep (but not only) – I can’t quite seem to hit the sweet spot, so it hasn’t become a habit.
Tattooed someone? Do tell. I got a tattoo with my son, and if my daughter wanted to I would get one with her too – we have one we both want to get, she just can’t decide if she’s up for it yet.
I can give myself a panic attack just thinking about scuba diving too much, so that’s not happening. I snorkeled in Mexico. I am nearly blind without glasses and have never found good goggles, so I’m uneasy trying to see underwater at any time.
I want to know the story of tattooing someone!
I have never smoked a cigarette, been inside a mosque, bungee jumped/skydived, done decoupage, been an extra in a movie, watched Sex in the City, and gone diving!
Well, maybe I need to publicly recap that tattooing story.
You checked a few of these. When were yours extra? Do tell!
I have smoked – and I liked it. But it was easy to quit and I never smoked much, just when out drinking. I’ve also been drunk drunk. I don’t recommend it.
I didn’t vote once…it was a very small local election and I was a full time student and also had a full time job and we couldn’t vote by mail then and I just blew it off. I felt so guilty about it though, never again!
Apparently my youth was a little crazier than yours. ;-)
I love Never Ever posts!
Smoked a cigarette. NO. And no desire to ever do so.
Not voted. I have definitely missed a few local elections.
Been inside a mosque. No
Bungee jumped. Or skydived. No and no.
Been to Disneyland. Yes! Disneyland Paris. Didn’t have any desire to go, but took the kids this year and actually really enjoyed it!
Gone on a Blind Date. Or used a dating app. Nope.
Gotten a tattoo. No. And generally dislike tattoos.
Bought a car. With my husband, yes, but I’ve never owned a car outright on my own.
Done Decoupage. Yes.
Been an extra in a movie. Nope.
Watched Sex in the City. I haven’t seen every episode, but probably 20-30?
Run more than 800 meters in one stretch. Definitely! But not too far. Max run ever has been about 12 K.
Taken a cruise vacation. No. No desire for an ocean cruise. But river cruises look lovely.
Been drunk drunk. Never so drunk I couldn’t remember what was going on. And now I almost never drink.
Gone diving. Nope.
Haha. This is fun, and funny, as I have one of this in the works for one of my twenty questions lists and some of mine are actually on here (no spoilers though!)
Smoked a cigarette. Or done drugs – Yes
Not voted – No
Been inside a mosque – Many of them
Bungee jumped. Or skydived – Yes, three times.
Been to Disneyland – Yes, but I was young and I do not think I will go back.
Gone on a Blind Date. Or used a dating app. Not even signed up to one – Me neither!
Gotten a tattoo – Yes
Bought a car – Yes
Done Decoupage – Nope
Been an extra in a movie – Not that I know of. I accidentally walked through the set of Benjamin Buttons in New Orleans. They probably cut me out though.
Watched Sex in the City – Yes, the show and the movies.
Run more than 800 meters in one stretch – Um….yes.
Taken a cruise vacation – Nope
Been drunk drunk – Yes, and I don’t love it, but that did not stop me in my 20s.

That was fun! Stay tuned for one of these from me at some point soon!
