Is there something that you will never do? I don't mean illegal or morally questionable things, I'm talking about reasonably acceptable things that other people do - but you will not?

I wouldn't mind driving a race car on a track, or even skydiving, but I'll never bungee jump. With the falling, the risk, the jolts - I just don't see the fun.

There are not enough drugs and alcohol in this universe to get me on a plane. (Maybe a cruise ship....maybe)

I would never, ever go on a wooden roller coaster! Those things scare the crap out of me!

I have a long list and in an effort to shorten it, lets just say anything to do with airplanes and uncontrolled water (meaning any amount that cannot be held by the tea kettle) and I won't climb ladders; not afraid of heights just ladders

I will not attend, or allow my minor child to attend a rodeo, SeaWorld, circus or any other event where animals are enslaved or abused for human entertainment.

Gosh,I never knew others were afraid of flying (Pam)
.   Just the other night our best friends were talking about how they could get a timeshare in Europe for something like $250 a week and when we said "why don't you go" they said "because someone won't fly" and we ALL knew they were talking about DH and I thought it was kind of sweet that they wouldn't consider going to Europe without us. Or maybe they were trying to shame him into going
.  Whatever

But I would LOVE to bungee jump, however, I must admit that I would probably need to wear brown pants if I did it, if you get my drift
.  I guess I'm kind of a dare devil.  I've always wanted to sky dive too,  And I did pilot a small plane once, plus scuba dived. 

But I'm with Andrya on the spiders ... at least if it was hairy
(think Tarantula).  I probably shouldn't have given him the ammunition, but I told DH that if he ever wanted to give me a heart attack, all he needed to do was put a Tarantula in the room with me and I'd be a goner for sure
.

I will never, ever eat any kind of food dish unless I know exactly what is in it.
 


Also, I will never drive on the highways around here.  I don't care how long it takes me to go the back roads, I won't go the thruways.

Agree CatMom2Wires....No circuses, zoos, carnivals where they have captive animals.....UGH!

No flying for me and I always take the back roads....merging traffic at 80 mph ain't my idea of fun.

Over the river and through the woods...
I don't think I could ever skydive. With my luck, I would be the 1 in a million who's parachute didn't open.  I don't know about bungee jumping. I've thought about it, but again, my luck. 

I would NEVER go spelunking, where your climb around in caves. No! Too many creepy crawlies like spiders, centipedes, etc. Plus, I'm claustrophobic so it's just out of the question.

I never thought I would like scuba diving either because I don't like water (but I can swim). But, scuba  gives you a way to see what is under the water without the fear of drowning.  Once I saw what was down there and knew I could breathe, I actually fell in love with it. But I don't have a fear of water...more a fear of what I couldn't see under the water.

I don't do cruise ships or airplanes. I don't stay in motels. I don't open my door to strangers. I don't eat raw oysters.
