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.

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.

Fashionable but I don't do them:

Drink alcohol
Do drugs
Use Social Media (Facebook/Twitter/etc.)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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..)
