Do you have an item everyone in the world uses except you?

jenna8984 · July 2014

I absolutely refuse to use wallets. I can't stand them. Ever since I was old enough to have bank cards/ ID, I stack them with a hairband around them. It's seriously so easy because I keep my driver's license on the outside and my credit card on the other outside so I just use them and slide right back under the band. I don't know what it is, I just can't deal with opening a wallet and putting the card back in it's slot lol. I keep a $20 bill in the bottom of my purse for emergencies (aka girl scout cookie stand) but I only use my credit card for all purchases. Friends/ exes have tried to buy me expensive ones because they think mine is just broken or something but nope.

What's your "normal" thing that you refuse?

Does Facebook and/or a smartphone count? Had both, cared for neither. I still have an FB account for a volunteer group but I'm thinking of deleting it anyway, since it's not mandatory.

Ven&Radio · July 2014

I also refuse to join Facebook.

I don't understand the appeal of crock pots. Slow cooked meat looses it's natural flavor and texture. It's gross. H's grandmother keeps trying to convince me I need one. I'm good cooking fresh food from scratch every night.

SJM7538 · July 2014

I second the crock pot! H and I had one sitting in a closet forever that he had before we were together. I never used so I gave it to my mom so she could have an extra. And I got asked by countless people at my shower why there wasn't one on my registry

And it's not really an item to "use" but coffee. I hate coffee. I love the smell of it, especially in the morning at the office, but I never acquired a taste for it. So while everyone at work is making their coffee in the kitchen I'm popping open an energy drink

Facebook is a good one. I have lived in different states and have friends who moved to different countries so for me it's really easy to keep in contact with them through FB since a lot of people don't check their email, or different time zone for phone calls. But I only have like 100 friends, people who are actually my friend. I'm not like my brother who has 1500 people that he's ever met in life.

@sjm758 I also hate coffee! I won't even touch coffee ice cream. I also hate tea and wine which women go crazy for.

Hair brushes and hair dryers. The only things that come of them are frizz and sadness. In this house it's a wet comb or nothing.

Also clutches. If I can't fit a notebook, a novel, and a knitting project in my purse, it's too small.

KeptInStitches · July 2014

Hair dryers. I have a pixie cut - what's the point?

theartistformerlyknownas · July 2014

Twitter.

climbingsingle · July 2014

Instagram and Twitter.

Also, I never have cash on me. I use my debit card for everything.

Peaseblossom55 · July 2014

Instagram and pretty much no caffeine( no coffee and I only drink decaf tea).

WinstonsGirl · July 2014

Lots of kitchen appliances. Crock pot. I thought I'd use it a lot, but it's only made rum totty's once in it's 5 years I've had it. We also have a waffle iron, several fondue sets and an ebelskiver maker, which has been used once by my Dad. We just don't do a lot of that stuff for breakfast, unless it's a big family thing. And people keep buying them for us as gifts and not giving us the receipt.

emmyg65 · July 2014

We don't have a TV and we very, very rarely use our air conditioner (only if it gets above 90 for several days in a row).

jenna8984 · July 2014

I think the internet ones (like Twitter and Instagram) are pretty common for people to NOT use. Same with the kitchen items, I would think almost half the population doesn't use those.

Now TV, @emmyg65 You win!! That really is something that 98% of people (in this country) use!!

Jells2dot0 · July 2014

Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram

Hair dryer, curling iron, straightener

Most Makeup- foundation especially

iPod or MP3 player

Also most kitchen gadgets- too many to name!

JCbride2015 · July 2014

Chocolate. I just don't really like it.

sarawifenow · July 2014

I don't use Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest at all. I also don't like pizza.

What??? Where do you live?

NYCMercedes · July 2014

Stove. Grill outside or microwave inside.

sarawifenow · July 2014

@ClimbingBrideNY--Haha I get this response a lot. I live in Denver. I think it is the crust that gets to me. I am not a big bread fan either. Usually if FI orders a pizza, I will just pick the toppings off of a slice.

Ah, no wonder! Come to NY and I'll show you what pizza is supposed to be ;-)

Jells2dot0 · July 2014

I also do not have a droid or iphone. That's right- I use a Blackberry!! I love it.

This is me minus the energy drink. Outside of an occassional Iced Tea I really do not drink caffeine.

Living here has RUINED me for pizza. I'm not generally a bread or pizza fan ever, but give me a really thin and crispy crust white pizza with tomatoes and basil.... mmmmm.

My year in VA, the law school clubs would order nasty thick-crust soft pizza. Blech.

vsgal · July 2014

I don't use ATM's. I can't even tell you the pin number on my card. I just write a check and go into the bank to cash it.

lc07 · July 2014

Coffee Pot, Microwave, Shaving Cream (body wash works just fine) I very rarely watch TV and pretty much never watch movies. (I make up for it with all the time I spend on the interwebs.)

I love all kinds of pizza. I would kill for a white slice right now! I also lived in VA (Alexandria) and when people found out I was from NY, they'd always tell me, "Oh, you should try so and so pizza. It's just like NY." Um, no. It was all gross.

wandajune6 · July 2014

I'm not a coffee lover either.

I've never really understood washcloths. They're not that efficient at applying soap/gels. Plus, what do you do with them once they're used? They're clutter. I haven't found anything that they do that can't be done better with something else.

There was exactly one good Italian restaurant in my town in VA, and not only did it turn out the owners were actually Italian immigrants by way of NYC.... Fi's uncle had worked there for a couple of years in the 1980's. Small world.

I hate cell phones. Never had one.

This makes my mom crazy. She bought me one last month. It's in the refrigerator. Really. It kept beeping and I couldn't figure out why, and it was keeping me awake. So I put it in the fridge where I couldn't hear it. Problem solved.
