What common things do you not do?

[lane912]

blindly go where no man has gone before

[scottmandue]

Never, ever, ever, watch "reality" TV shows... including anything where they vote someone off the show, or any of the talent shows for that matter.

I don't dress to impress or drive a car for status. I generally don't give a rodents behind what other people think of me, where I live, or how I live.

Also not a slave to my cell phone... much happier when it is turned off.

I like a well made watch and the fact that they are old school, and I have to wear my wedding ring, but other than that no jewelry.

No tats of piercings, however have kicked the idea around about having my deceased brother's name, birth, and death dates put on my bicep.

Don't have internet at home but that will change once wife moves in.

[wdfifteen]

I don't wear rings. Now that I carry a 21st century pocket watch (iPhone) I don't wear a watch. Nothing on my wrists, ears or neck. No tats.
I do wear a hat when I'm in the sun and coat when it's cold out.

[72doug2,2S]

I haven't had a car payment in 13 years.

I can't stand having anything in my pockets. I immediately remove keys, wallet, phone, watch, etc upon reaching home or office.

I detest formal wear.

I've never had an affair.

I don't like formal organized clubs.

I don't use ice in scotch.

I don't ask permission to do things, but I will ask for forgiveness.

I never drive the speed limit. I'm always 5 over everywhere, except school.

I don't work past five on Fridays. I have a scotch in hand at 5:05 p.m.

I don't care what people think of my shoes.

[VincentVega]

Facebook/social media, I just dont get it.

[id10t]

No watch, don't do a lot of TV, don't care about sports at all.

Doesn't that make it hard to shift gears on the drive home?

Funny, I can never remember.

I drive a few blocks to my friends law office and we have a few drinks and chat about the week. I drive home legal, but I have had a few whiskys.

Whisky is the oil of conversation.

I call it "Drinks-O-5"

[Les Paul]

Way back the company I worked for had a catch phrase. Do it right the first time. Me I do it right the 3rd time usually.

Don't wear a suit unless it is a funeral which I could count on both hands.

Yeah, I do facebook but a lot of it is just a continuation of the Stijn thread ()and messaging a few of my real-life friends. I don't understand people who have 500 "friends".

[Rapewta]

Never been on Facebook.
Both my cars are manual shift. No cup holders.
Only have antenna TV and use the boob tube for local news, concerts and sports.
Brush my teeth without toothpaste. Still got 'em all 'cept two molers in the back.

[Tobra]

Don't wear a watch
Don't lie
Never cheated on a wife or girlfriend

[BlueSkyJaunte]

I don't shave below my neckline.

Normally men do this?

Here's what a lot of you don't do that is common: read the thread before commenting. Like wearing shorts. That's pretty common and if you DID NOT ever wear shorts, that would be something common that you don't do.

Several mentioned not cheating on the SO. Like that's a common thing? We always hear about it when it goes wrong, but I have an idea that most of you don't cheat. That would be the more common. Now if we get into cheating on the ex-SO, I think we'll find a lot of that happened.That's why there are ex's.

[scottmandue]

Wear shorts and black sox

Yes, I do see people doing it... must be some new fangled fashion thing...

Not many mechanics wear shorts to work in this part of the country. That is what I was getting at.

I do... under my coveralls.

I never wear a watch either. Outdated technology, that's what a cell phone is for!

I do, however, still ride a sportbike in my 40's.
