I don't do:
Car washes where I sit in the car as it is getting washed
Roller coasters
Waters slides with unlit tunnels
Wear a watch
I had a wedding ring once - never will wear a ring again.
Go out with married women
Never cheated on my wife when I was married.

I try not to lie but all bets are off when it comes to someones safety.

You do realize how many bicyclists frequent this board, right?

I find it amusing when the kids see the watch on my wrist and ask me for the time because they are too lazy to pull out their phone.

I don't wear jewelry except for my wedding band which only comes off for washing the cars or if my hands are extremely dirty.

I don't watch or even care about popular sports like football, hockey, etc.

No texting, Twitter, or playing silly Facebook games. In fact, I haven't even re-registered on FB after my email was hacked. Just don't care enough to do it.

I don't have an IPod or a big screen TV and don't really feel the need to get them.

Coffee, alcohol, golf, fast food, network news

It's a crime that they even make short-sleeved dress shirts. If it's hot enough to warrant short sleeves, it's hot enough to warrant not wearing a tie, which means sports shirt. There's no confluence of circumstances wear you should need short-sleeves and a tie outside the military, which is fashion/good-taste exempt.

On the jewelry front, I don't know if that's a thing - most of the guys I know don't wear anything outside of a watch, especially in more rural areas. When half of Pelican says they don't wear rings, bracelets, or necklaces/chains, it's not a "most people do this," right?

My philosophy on cell phones is that it's for my convenience, not to put me at everyone's beck and call. I get heat about once a week from someone upset that I didn't answer, didn't text back immediately, or some such nonsense.

Never changed a diaper. Never married, no kids.

It's on my g/f's bucket list when she is a grandmother that I will be front and centre changing said diaper.

When I say short sleeved and dress shirt... I really mean polo... I have some nice Van Heusen polos I wear a lot, and with the more casual customers, I go for one of the Nike Golf polos with the company logo embroided on it....

I will agree that short sleeve button down shirts are stupid....

Ok more things I don't do. I have never been handcuffed. I plan to keep that streak going. I don't dress up for work. Shorts & a t-shirt in warm weather. Jeans and t-shirt in the winter. I only have two or maybe three long sleeve shirts. I won't wear a tie ever again. No reason to tie a rope around my neck for fashion.
