I don't own a...

[subject101]

Is there anything that everybody is supposed to have in this modern world and you don't? I don't have;

a pair of jeans
a pajama (I only wear Channel No5 in bed, you know )
a hoodie
facebook or twitter account
iPhone, iPod, iPad... nothing started with an i

what else?

 

[Edward]

Uh...... I don't know, I can't honestly say I've ever given it any thought. There are plenty of things I own and love that don't fit with the vintage stereotype - mobile phone, several (gasp!) pairs of jeans and what not (never fully understood the hostility to denim in some quarters, tbh: sure, it's not always appropriate, but that's a wholly different beast. Jeans have been around since, what the 1880s? Somebody wore 'em in vintage days....).

I have an iPod, though due to various ideological reasons (not least smug lifestyle marketing that turns me off) I don't want any other Mac devices. Don't have a games console (yet), though I may well buy one at some future date. I've certainly never specifically rejected something because of its "non-vintage" status.

I don't own a ballpoint pen.

What you are supposed to have is dependent on who you are talking to!

I don't have:
fake tan
gel nails
breast implants
hair extensions

... although some people seem to think they are indispensable.

This is true. And it depends on the place you are. For instance, in the UK you are supposed to have a teapot.

I don't have baseball cap or games console either.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

I don't own,..a television, a cell phone, a baseball cap, (neither frontwards, backwards,nor sideways),..don't own a single pair of those ridiculous looking basketball shorts which look to be accurately sized to a 7' 4" NBA player. Nor do I own any of the over-sized T-shirts which usually accompany them. I don't own any so-called designer jeans with holes or tears in them.
I do not have a single tattoo or piecing, and I don't use any product made by Axe.
(Luckily, I missed all this trending, and never felt compelled to succumb to popular "culture".)

 

[Edward]

Oh, now there's a thing.... I don't ow a single pair of short trousers, nor will I ever again.

 

[subject101]

I do not have a single tattoo or piecing

Good boy I don't have either. No more holes other than those strictly necessary in me.

 

[Romy Overdorp]

I don't own uggs. Never ever will!

 

[subject101]

I don't own uggs. Never ever will!

I don't have either but I like them

 

[Tatum]

Haha, no Uggs here either!

No oversized purse with chains and grommets and zippers that go nowhere that could also pass as an overnight bag. I can't stand those. Guilty on all the electronic items, however I AM a web designer!

 

[WideBrimm]

No tattoos or piercings for me ---- NEVER, EVER ----- YIKES :eeek::eeek::eeek:. I'm just too "old school" for that sort of thing

[Undertow]

I've been pretty vocal in the past.

No cellular phone. (I don't even answer my homephone )
No Facebook
No tattoos/piercings (which is a must have for my generation for some reason)

I buy everyday clothes based on price and utility, not for looks or labels. I purchase dress clothing for utility and style, not for price (although price often plays a role ).

I've been wearing steel-toed work boots since I was 17 when I started construction. The "habit" has carried over into daily life. They're solid, rugged, and quite useful in nearly any climate. I purchase nice shoes based on style and utility, not necessarily price.

I own 2 hoodies, and couple them with my flannel work jackets in the fall and winter. They're a "liner" of sorts. I also own jeans and wear them often for work or play. I don't own a fancy pair of jeans, if that's what you folks mean. I buy them because they fit and they're durable.

I don't own i-things, or virtually any technological luxury device, besides a tv and computer.

See, my problem is I shoot for utility in what I own. If something does not play a useful role, I'd better be awful fond of it. Cell phones do not play a useful role in my opinion, and are a hinderance. But YMMV.

I don't own a TV that doesn't have a wood cabinet or wood paneling.
I don't own a computer.
I have no tattoos or piercings.
I don't own a hoodie.
The only jeans I have are for chores.
I don't own a digital clock.
I don't own a cordless house phone.
I don't own a front wheel drive car.
I don't own any t-shirts, besides undergarment V-necks.

 

[Yeps]

I don't own,

I am going to piggyback on your post for no apparent reason.

a coffee maker more modern than a percolator.

That is a shame, percolators don't make very good coffee. My best coffee maker though is my macchinetta, and that is similarly old school.

I don't own a TV that doesn't have a wood cabinet or wood paneling.

I don't own a TV, but the internet makes up for that.

I don't own a computer.

I rather like my computer. Who owns the one you post from?

I have no tattoos or piercings.

Nor I.

I don't own a hoodie.

I might have one, but I haven't worn one in years.

The only jeans I have are for chores.

I own a couple pairs, but I only wear them in specific, very casual/manual labor type situations.

I don't own a digital clock.

I do, although since I figured out how to make my computer wake me up with good music, I haven't used it.

I don't own a cordless house phone.

I don't have a land line (well, not hooked up), and don't plan to when I get my own apartment.

I don't own a front wheel drive car.

I prefer rear wheel drive, but I don't have a car, and honestly can't see myself needing one particularly much in future, at least while I stay in the city.

I don't own any t-shirts, besides undergarment V-necks.

I own a couple clever ones from back before I learned how to dress, but I don't ever wear them, and feel very uncomfortable in t-shirts in general.
