People Confess Which Things They've Managed To Avoid Their Entire Lives

There are some things in life which seem like a rite of passage which everyone in the world goes through at least once.

This could be anything from the frivolous, such as eating ice cream or getting drunk for the first time, to the slightly more serious, such as breaking a bone, or needing an operation requiring you to stay in the hospital.

Everyone must go through these and other things at least once in their life, right?

You'd be surprised.

Indeed, there are in fact many people out there who have managed to steer clear of things which are somewhat avoidable, such as going on an upside down roller coaster, to the seemingly inevitable, such as getting a tooth pulled.


Redditor Ronaldeartlett was curious to hear the things people have somehow, against the odds managed to avoid, so far anyway, in their lives, leading them to ask:

We'd like to think we can avoid somethings which deep down, we know are inevitable.

But, be it through preventative measures or pure dumb luck, we can at least feel proud of ourselves for avoiding them for the time being.

And if more singletons viewed the lack of a ring on their finger as an accomplishment, one can only imagine the world would be a much happier place.

Getting a new pet is a big commitment, and when you decide to take the plunge, you should commit to keeping them for their full lifetime.
