A 52-Year-Old Who's Never Eaten McDonald's: 26 'Ordinary' Things People Confess They've Never Done

Ever felt like the only person on Earth who hasn't seen Titanic? You're in good company. A viral challenge on the online community Bored Panda invited people to share the most ordinary things they've never experienced, and the confessions reveal a fascinating side of modern life. From pop culture touchstones to everyday habits, some people are proudly living life on their own terms.

The Pop Culture Void

A significant number of confessions centered on skipping globally recognized cultural phenomena. One user with an astrophysics PhD admitted they've never seen any of the Star Wars films. Another, a film school graduate, confessed to never having watched the classic Citizen Kane. The list of unseen hits continued with iconic TV shows like Friends, Frasier, and Seinfeld. Perhaps most surprisingly, one person claimed they have never heard Kim Kardashian talk, managing to avoid one of the most ubiquitous voices of the past decade.

Dodging Everyday Milestones

Beyond entertainment, people revealed they've sidestepped experiences many consider universal. A 52-year-old stated they have never eaten at a McDonald’s. A user from Sweden admitted to never having visited an IKEA. In an age of e-commerce dominance, one millennial proudly declared they've never ordered an item from Amazon. The classic phrase "it's as easy as riding a bike" falls flat for some, with one person confessing they never learned how to ride one, making the expression a source of anxiety rather than comfort.

Life's Unbroken Streaks

The challenge also highlighted some impressive personal streaks. One user, age 45, has never been stung by a bee. Others have never broken a bone, never lost their keys (thanks to a keychain they've had since age 12), or never bought a lottery ticket. These small, consistent non-events stand out in a world that often celebrates action and novelty. Other admissions included never owning a credit card, never using an Xbox or Playstation, and never having chewing gum.
