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

Make us preferred on Google

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:
"What have you managed to avoid your whole life?"

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.

Woman Recounts 'Craziest' Experience At Restaurant While Reality TV Show Was Filming There—And Yikes

TikToker Hannah Revels went out for a double date, including her husband and a couple of friends, to a restaurant that she did not disclose. It's supposed to be a nicer restaurant that was recently renovated, and it's also located in Charleston, South Carolina, so celebrity sightings are fairly common.

TikToker Shares The Outfits She Wore To School Her Senior Year To Hide Her Teen Pregnancy—And Viewers Are Stunned

Most people would agree that high school is tough, from going through puberty and figuring out who you are, to trying to decide what to do for a career and where you might like to go for trade school or college, and maybe experiencing your first love.
