What common things do you not do?

I don't wear a watch or rings. In fact, I wear nothing on my wrists, ears or neck. Ever.

I never wear a hat.

I have a friend who does not shake hands.

I wear a hat only when outside on a hot day. I have no tats or piercings of any sort. I have enough holes in my body. I guess the biggest thing I never do is go to a bar for a drink ever. The Cheers thing is alien to me.

I made a decision 5 years ago, to not be a slave to my shop , or cell phone. I have a daily limit of how much time I will spend on the phone, and that is it. Period. Once I get home, at the end of the day, I leave my cell phone in my car.
No watch, no jewelery, no tats, no piercings. I wear shorts daily until it is just to cold around here.

Fun topic.

I also don't ever wear any jewelry of any kind, including a watch. Don't see the point.

I never wear a hat for fashion (only on the golf course to prevent getting fried).

I never wear sunglasses.

I've never, ever paid to have my car washed. We're talking a 30+ year streak.

I've never paid a penny of interest on a credit card.

I've never had a car loan or lease payment.

I don't have a "smart phone."

I've never owned an American car.

I've never owned a truck or SUV of any kind.

I don't eat fast food.

I don't watch NASCAR (or any form of auto racing anymore).

I don't ever pay more than $2 for a cup of coffee.

No tats, piercings, etc. (although not sure how common those things really are for the 40 and over crowd).

Pants, shorts only. Pants are worn only a coupe of times a year when necessary.

drink beer once a month if I am lucks. Don't get me wrong, I love beer, just don't have the urge to have it often.

I will not eat or drink anything that has been in direct contact with styrofoam. I also hate to touch styrofoam (like beer coolers, or packing peanuts) but I will do it.

Food in contact with styrofoam - out of the question, pour it out or throw it in the trash.

I never don't do something I haven't done before for the first time but instead do something once then twice when I do it again...
