How unique are you? If you have ticked all of these in the poll, you are as unique as me!

(I've ticked them all).

And a bonus: I don't drink tea or coffee! (But I've tried it before).


I bet everyone here has done at least one of these things. God I'm unique. :oops:

I can't drink alcohol because I am on three prescriptions.

I will continue refusing to get body ink nor body piercings.

I only work part-time and I avoid nightclubs.

I go to concerts...hope to do that forever. Though I havent done the Seventies' style arena rock thing for decades (going to big arenas, used the night before for hockey, to see a rock guitar god do his thing). But we have some great concerts in local parks her by a wide variety great musicians, for free, rock, rock, classical, folk, world music, blues, etc.

I have NEVER...
...been drunk in my life -- Not THAT bad, but yeah I had. :lol:

...got a tattoo -- Yes, never have ever. Temporary maybe, as a kid.

.. piercings, not even my ears -- Yes I do, but also not voluntarily (at, what, 6 months old?) mind you.

...worked more than 35 hours in a week -- I do but... Because we don't have a lot of these. :|

...been to a concert -- I never ever had cause it's expensive. :lol: But been in a lot of live bands and stage performances...

...met a celebrity -- Not that I know of. Maybe I do, but unknowingly.

...been clubbing -- Been in a club. Yet never did much beyond sleeping at some table and drinking something not alcoholic. :lol:

I've been drunk, but it's been a long time!

Tattoo -- NOPE

Piercings -- your basic earrings (but I don't wear earrings anymore)

35 hours -- I worked 50-60 in my prime, and brought work home too

Concerts -- Likely about 20-30 since I was 14. This is something I'll still do

Celebrity -- Do heads of state or authors count? I also flew on a plane with Kurt Russell once

Clubbing -- Beer pubs and yacht clubs, but not really any dance clubs

I went to one concert, the band I was obsessed with at the time (Tool), and had to leave partway through. Confirmed that I much prefer listening to the same music at home, alone, at a reasonable volume, and being able to hear the rest over the bass. Never done any of the others.

I love big indoor shows because it's dark, you don't have to interact with anyone, and the light shows are amazing. I can't do outdoor concerts because people mill about face-to-face, it feels too exposed, and the sound / lights are usually really bad.

I have misophonia but it's more related to quiet or repetitive sounds. I pop in some earplugs for gigs and I'm good to go.

Working in retail behind a cash register can result in you meeting celebs. I sold a bottle of Pepto Bismol to Howard K. Smith (a big name TV newsman who competed with Walter Kronkite and Eric Severide for decades). Saw George Will, the sister of Aretha Franklin (who also sang back up on Aretha's records), a bunch of others.

But the one knocks the others out of my mind was....a young lady I met online at - could see her on cam.

She was mostly naked, in skimpy kinky leather out fit. I stumbled opon a phone sex site, and there she was. None other than Amy Fisher! The Long Island Lolita. That middle school girl who ...its a long sordid story of sex and attempted murder. Go look it up online if you're too young to remember it in the media.

Anyway this was like ten or more years later. She was then a grown up woman like thirty. And thats how she then made her living. Doing cam sex (phone sex on camera, whatever they call it). That itself was some years ago. Dont know if she still does that line of work.

I ran AWAY from the site because I was afraid of computer viruses from a sleazy looking site. But for a moment I met her online and could have spoken to her- just like we were face to face in a drug store. .

I checked all but two boxes :arrow:

"worked more than 35 hours in a week" :arrow:
I was a workaholic when I was employed & allowed to work extra. I normally worked 9 & a half hour nights not counting my lunch break when I was allowed to partly because it worked better for my parents bringing me & picking me up & I was there in the beginning of my department's work & there when things were getting finished, though I worked about 11 hours more than a few nights because there was something special going on & I sometimes came in on my off days & worked 6 days a week. I was working in retail barely making anymore than the federal minimum-wage & I was on SSI at the time. For every two dollars I made before taxes, I lost one dollar of my SSI. I was also paying my parents rent money that was a fraction of my paychecks. I didn't really come out much ahead financially unless I worked a lot. I was also dealing with a bad depression at the time & I was VERY lonely & HATED being single. I originally come from a very hard-core conservative area(the deep south) & anybody on any kinda government benefits who is not retired is majorly despised by the media & politicians that just spew vile about us being lazy leeches sucking on the teats of the hard-working American taxpayer. My mom was on my back about how I could do better & when I wasn't working & I was struggling majorly to find employment, mom was on my back aLOT about me being very lazy & way too dependent. I was trying to escape the very negative stigma I had & I was hoping that working would help me meet a woman who would be my girlfriend. Plus I have OCD & can sometimes be a good strategist who wants to see things through from the beginning to end.


"met a celebrity" :arrow:
Me & my girlfriend met Gilbert Gottfried at the comedy club after we watched him perform. He was selling a book & a DVD & giving out autographs & doing selfies & such. My girlfriend bought(well I paid for it as well as the tickets) his book that he autographed. I'm not really into the idea of meeting celebs though(well except for one, especially when I was single).



Though I've never gotten a tattoo or ever really wanted to get one, I gave myself some nasty looking scars on my upper left arm by slashing myself during my lowest point of psychotic depression. More than a few people have tattoos they regret getting when they were drunk or whatever, I have scars I regret giving myself.

Let's see...

I've never been drunk. I've drunk alcohol, yes, but not to the point of getting drunk.

I've never gotten a tattoo, either. I've considered it, but fear that I'd regret whatever pic I take later.

I've never had piercings, either. I've considered getting my ears pierced, but I saw how badly my sister's earlobes got infected once due to having them pierced and... well, nope. I have enough health problems as is. Plus, putting something more or less sharp through me like that feels creepy when I actually stop to think about it.

I have worked more than 35 hours a week. It only lasted half a year, unfortunately, but it still counts, doesn't it?

I've been to an outdoor concert once when I was eleven, plus some classic music concerts as elementary school trips.

I've met a few celebrities, a novel author and a voice actress. Got an autograph from the later, even.

I'm not sure what counts as clubbing. Was I clubbing when I followed my sisters and a punch of cousins in to a bar during a cruise and sat on a sofa drinking a non-alcoholic drink?

I went to the London Royal Albert Hall on a school trip once, does that count as a concert? I have never been to one of those big outdoor concerts to see a famous band play before.

Clubbing counts as one of those intense clubs where you have to queue to get in and you just dance and drink all night, and it's useless to socialise there because the music is so loud even for NTs, and they're so crowded you can barely move. Stupid, pointless places but so many people seem to love it. :roll:

I'm too wimpy to get a tattoo or have any piercings. I'm not very good at handling jewellery, as I find it too fiddly. I don't know how people get their tongues pierced. That's got to be the grossest thing I've ever heard of.

I havent killed a baby seal for a long time.

Thats the first thing I think of when I see, or hear, the word "clubbing".

But I havent been to a night club in a long time either.
