Here’s the rules:

1: Post something you have never done that you think many people do. 2: Read the other posts, if you have done that thing, upvote it. If you have not done that thing, downvote it. 3: If you believe the person is lying, call them out on it in a reply. 4: If you are called out, give the full story. 4a: If you see a thread containing the full story, boost the person you think is right and truthful.

Person who has the most upvotes when the thread dies wins.

    Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.

    So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.

    My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.
