That friends/family think are essential to life.
I never make my bed, I just leave it in a dishevelled heap. I think this is a left-over rebellion from my youth when we were expected to make beds after breakfast, no exceptions!
I don't pluck my eyebrows either - so when my friends are having the 'threading v plucking' conversation I stay out of it.

I don't have children and have never wanted them.
And I don't watch television.
I'm not sure which of those surprises/distresses people more (at my age, it's probably the t.v. disinterest now).

I don't dry the dishes or put the washing up away, and like Marvin, I leave it in the dish drainer. What's the point of drying up and putting away the crockery and cutlery when you have to get it all out again for the next meal??
I don't make my bed as soon as I get up, I like to leave it open to air it, but I make it before I go to bed.
I try to avoid doing ironing (boorriingg!!) - by wearing materials that don't crease easily.
I don't go to expensive hair salons and I have never been to a beauty salon,or had a manicure/ facial/ eye-brow threading/ Brazilian wax(ouch! that sounds horrendous!) or Brazilian blow-dry (whatever that is!) in my life.

I don't have a car or even a driving license. I don't have a television set or a mobile telephone. I don't go to the cinema or eat at restaurants and I don't throw a piece of clothing away, no matter how unfashionable, until it actually becomes unwearable or indecent.

I'd say that about 80% of the items so far apply to me as well. No exaggeration. As well...
I don't drink alcohol. Not that I have moral objections or am a recovering alcoholic, I just no longer enjoy the sensation. I WILL bring a bottle of wine or a case of beer to a party, and then drink Coke the whole time.
I do not eat any seafood, except for(on very rare occassions) octopus, which for some reason doesn't taste like the rest.
I don't wear a watch.
Though I live far from my family, and love them dearly, I do not keep any pictures of them in my apartment or workspace. I have a few downloaded images of my city.

I don't do Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn - which probably confirms me as a Luddite Dinosaur.
I don't go a well-known supermarket chain which I consider to be predatory and destructive of community.
Nor do I eat bread-and-butter pudding, which clearly shows that I am a Civilised Person.

Neither do I. In fact I do quite a lot to fight them - but that's a 'do', not a 'do not', so... I do not intend to let them get away with anything I can prevent them from doing.

I don't drink fizzy drinks (aka sodas)
(don't like them - very occasionally on hot days may have a coke. And oddly like ginger beer with fish'n'chips)
I don't own a car
Never have done, even though I've had a license since I was 18
I don't watch Strictly or X Factor - or indeed really get reality TV - though I do like the Great British Bake Off
I don't play computer games
- never have - except for Pacman and Space Invaders as a child. Just never really seen the appeal.
I don't listen to pop music and have no clue who's in the charts.
(Was so happy once I was in my 20s and didn't have to pretend to be up on all that stuff any more. Don't actively dislike lots of it just don't actively listen to it.)

I agree. Plus the fact films are usually out on DVD by the time I get round to thinking I might want to go and see them. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
I never iron - not because I don't enjoy it but it was one of those things I cut out as unnecessary when my kids were little and have never gone back to. I do lots of smoothing and folding and waiting by the tumble dryer to whip out the shirts and put them on hangers as soon as it's finished.
Nen - unable to remember where the iron is kept.

Even though I don't always follow the strictures of so-called political correctness, I am so-called politically correct enough not to use the phrase "politically correct", unless prefaced by a "so-called".
Okay, in plain English. I don't use the phrase "politically correct" because I regard it as derogatory term coined by right-wingers to mock progressives. But I don't use always use the terminology that some progressives think best.

Interesting to see how many non-drivers there are here. A reflection of the peculiar demographic of the ship! Amongst Westerners that I know in 'real life' (ie expats where I live and people back home in the UK) I know very few who don't drive.
We are odd here in that we have no TV connection. Most people here have satellite TV with a dish on the roof. We don't have one, nor an aerial for the TV since pretty much everything that we could receive would be either in Arabic or French or Italian. I can just about do TV in French but it's not very relaxing!
Our TV is only used for DVDs and videos (yes we still have a VCR so everyone passes their old tapes to us!). We do however watch British TV on the internet....(there are ways and means to do this even from abroad )

I don't pay for the Internet; I use wireless and pick up unsecured sites. Sometimes, that means doing without for a few hours, which is good self-discipline. Sometimes it means going out onto the balcony and picking up the signal from a nearby coffee shop, but that it not ideal when it is too cold or too sunny or too dark!

I watch nothing on TV that is supposedly popular. Same with books, movies. If everyone likes it, I avoid it like the plague.
I never wear my glasses that are supposed to be for near-sightedness. I'm convinced they make my vision worse (not while I'm wearing them, but permanently, after I take them off).

The thead on telling the time has reminded me of another thing I don't do - wear a watch. Haven't for decades. Not since the 1980s and not regularly before then.
Also I don't often eat sweet food at the end of a meal. I like cakes and sweets and so on but more before than after other food. I must be about the only person I know who has voluntarily given up an offer of ice cream in favour of another helping of cabbage - for no reasons other than pleasure.
I don't iron either, as anyone who'se seen me probably noticed. But does anyone iron underwear? Why? Maybe to kill the eggs of parasitic worms? I can't think of another reason.

And yet, in the UK, only just under half the population have cars and less than 60% drive. So your friends are also a highly selected sample!
(There are just over 37 million licence holders in the UK. And according to the DVLA "There were 34.6 million vehicles licensed for use on the roads in Great Britain on the 30th June 2012. Of these vehicles, 28.7 million were cars." )
Even in car-mad California about one adult in six does not have a driving licence , according to the California DMV there were 31,802,483 registered vehicles in California at 1 January 2012 (lots of them will be second cars and commercial or inudstrial vehicles of course)) and 23,956,498 licensed drivers, for a state population of 37,578,616 . They also issued 2,689,667 ID cards (almost all of them to adults) to people without licences.

Agree - and looking at a watch is less conspicuous if you are doing counseling or spiritual direction.
If i were to look at my mobile, it would be obvious to my client or directee. They would think I was bored, which i might be, or it would shut them up.
Usually, I keep an eye on the time and say when there is 5 minutes left. That prompts them to say, often, what they have been wanting to say all along and gives me the option of offering them another thirty minutes.

In such circumstances I would set the alarm in silent mode so the mobile vibrated when time was up. No need to look at all! Actually I would set the next appointment to ring five minutes before the end so I had chance to finish the session without pressure.

Interesting - might try that. Though I tend to look surreptitiously about half way through the session as well so as to guide the conversation if I think it is dragging.
Maybe one can teach an old dog new tricks but I tend to use my mobile only for texts or emergencies. I have never taken a picture on it not surfed the web, though I do use the alarm as a back up to my proper alarm clock.
I think I am beyond redemption!

I don't do Tupperware parties. Ever. Never have.
This is partly a reaction to ex MIL's insistence on the fact that if two identical plastic containers were filled, the Tupperware would hold more. However, it came before I met her.
I loathe silly party games and never play them either.
Yes, I am an introvert basically.

it would be easier, so far, the name the things in this thread I do. good to know I'm in such good company!
my eyebrows are au naturale - both in hair amount and color. (whenever someone has painted them I always think I look like an annoyed wolverine).
I don't do my nails either - except the cut them when they get long.
I don't dye my hair or otherwise do chemical things to it - though I did put black tiger stripes in on a whim a few years ago. didn't look as cool as I thought.
I detest high heels and have worn them so rarely that I look like a newborn giraffe when I try.
I don't own a watch and haven't for years. like, maybe 30.
we occasionally watch videos via netflix, but I'm proud to say that my main living space is a screen-free zone.
I don't listen to commercial radio at all. too many years in the biz - I recognize all the gimmicks and it pisses me off.
I rarely eat anything that has it's origins in a can, a jar, or a box. the exception being coconut milk and coconut oil. kind of hard to get that fresh...
I never really dust. in my defense, it's only dusty here a few months out of the year and I just keep everything open and breezy. I make my bed about 2 times a month, or whenever I change the sheets.
my kids don't have a strict bed time - We go with natural rhythms. I find if you have them on a regular school schedule, they generally fall asleep when they should after a few rough mornings. We do have a "no computer" deadline though, but they can read or quietly play in their rooms until they're ready to sack out.
oh - and I have no curtains. there is no need. the only peekers likely would be Moose and Squirrel™. I have discovered, though, that this really freaks out city visitors. I love gazing outside, both day and night. curtains are a hassle. besides.. the whole dusting thing.

Much the same for me, but I have never dyed my hair, if you exclude the once as a 16 yr old when I followed a stupid craze and ajaxed my hair to make it a bright blond. Nor am I one of the very few adults here who don't drive.

I went to one once, about 25 years ago, and swore never to do that again. If you want to invite me to a party, fine. If you want me to bring a dish or a bottle to share, okey dokey. But if you invite me to a so-called "party" and expect me to buy stuff, I'm busy that day. That's not a party; that's a sales event.

I don't go to the doctor. This is not a point of principle: I have a GP and if I need to go I will, but it's just that, thankfully,I very rarely need to- I think I've been about twice in 11 years and one of those was for a medical when we were considering adopting.
But this does surprise people, especially here in S Wales where a lot of people seem to think that if you don't see your GP at least every couple of months and manage a hospital stay every year or two, Nye Bevan will rise up from his grave and accuse you of ingratitude.

My beard is a testament to my masculinity and virility, and demonstrates that I am a real man. Trouble is, bits of quiche sometimes get caught in it.
