I've never smoked... anything
I don't drink coffee and haven't since I was 5 or 6, used to get sips of coffee with lots of cream and sugar from grandma.
I haven't had any sodas other than unsweetened seltzer water for about 10-12 years.
I rarely drink alcohol, and when I do, it's probably only going to be 1 beer or 1 glass of port or wine.
I don't watch any of the popular sports like football, basketball, hockey, etc.... Most of the guys that I work with or know (or customers when I was a bartender) find it incomprehensible. I do enjoy motorsports, but I don't think I've watched 1 motorsports event per year since Speedvision turned into Speed (NASCAR) and dropped WRC. I have an F1 race on the DVR from late spring/early summer, but I haven't watched it.
I don't do things just because other people do them.
I don't blindly follow others.
I don't care about the whole PC movement.

I don't worry about other people's feelings PC or not.

Don't use the latest slang like, hater. I can't stand that word.

Laundry or house cleaning. My wife and I agreed 15+ years ago it makes sense for us to outsource mundane chores like that. We have 2 little kids and both run small businesses so have very little "free" time as it is, and this buys some back.

I don't do Facebook either. I am on Twitter and Google+ but not very active. I waste enough time here and on other hobby/speciality forums and don't give a crap about generic social media outlets.

Seahawk 09-08-2012 08:53 AM

I don't b(itch about anything. I'll take umbrage, offense or seek retribution, but I won't b(itch about the result.

I've seen too much of the planet to complain.

That and political parties...no thanks.

Not believe in Jesus Christ
Brag about things like who I know or met, who I punched out, or how much stuff I have.

Oh, I forgot one. Politics. Like Keith Oberman, I don't vote. I did for a long time. But every single person I voted for that got to office turned and did something different than they promised. I reward that kind of behavior by not supporting it.

I won't stay in the same room with politicians. I won't stay in the same room with my DIL, so I guess I'm not sayin' much. In fact, I won't stay in the room if there are more than 2 others.

herr_oberst 09-08-2012 03:43 PM

I don't have an ATM card.
Never watched American Idol. (Or any so called "talent" show)
Can't stand "Dave Matthews" or any of the many, many offshoots of that crappy music.
Don't care one whit for the NFL.

Oh Haha 09-09-2012 04:28 PM

Thought if a few more things whilst on a road trip to Grandma's house today:

I don't-

wear "team gear".

put stupid stickers on my vehicles to show what guns/bow/motorcycle/etc I own/like(I do have the PCA decal on the 911 and Mazda).

do bumper stickers of any kind. I don't even like the magnetic ones for the troops or breast cancer but I give these a pass because my wife insists.

have crap hanging from my rearview mirror.

advertise for the car dealer that we bought a car from. One of the first things to go is the sticker/plate frame from said dealer.




I am going to make an AWESOME grumpy old geezer. :D

Les Paul 09-09-2012 05:54 PM

My wife and I like taking long trips and drive over 30k for fun. And I do not speed in her car ever. No 5 over, 3 over nada. Me in the 930 not so much.

Heel n Toe 09-10-2012 12:06 AM

I don't have (need/want) a cell phone. Miz Toe has one but it doesn't get used much... we use it for long distance.

I don't use a debit card. I think my ATM card can be dual purposed to be a debit card, but I don't want/need it. Cash, check, or charge for everything. If you're in the checkout line behind me at Kroger, Target, Lowe's, etc. and I'm gonna use a check, I get started on it ASAP out of courtesy, but other than that, I couldn't care less if you disapprove because I'm slower than a CC or debit card user.

I don't look in the rearview mirror when I'm at the ATM. I know how to use it quickly, but if it assumes I'm done after one transaction and spits my card back out and I have to put it back in and re-enter my number and do my second transaction, if you are behind me and in a hurry, that's just too bad. I will be done ASAP and I will then look in the rearview and then, seeing you, I will pull forward out of your way before putting everything back in my wallet. So far, no one has honked.

I don't do online banking.

I don't own a laptop.

I don't know how to play poker. Never cared to learn... seemed a bit like Algebra, which I didn't like.

I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now, but these are the main ones.

Paul T 09-10-2012 01:37 AM

I feel like such an oddball here...with a few exceptions, I've done and continue to do just about all of the "do not's" in this thread - and quite happily I might add.

VINMAN 09-10-2012 03:16 PM

I don't..

Wear shorts below the knee.

Kindle. I still like holding a actual paper book.

Criticize other peoples religious beliefs. ( even though I'm basically an atheist..)
