Adventurous people will tend to give almost anything a try at least once, just for the sake of it.

Others might only be willing to try certain things if there was an incentive to do so, such as money or an exciting prize.

But more often than not, there are many things that people will absolutely never do, no matter the circumstance, no matter the amount of money offered.

Redditor chezjvr was curious what things would be an unequivocal hard pass for the Reddit community, leading them to ask:

"What will you never ever do under any circumstances?"

Hey, you never know...

" Lottery."

"Working at a gas station watching people blow their whole paycheck and win $200 after spending $600."

"Then celebrating by buying more."

"'I won $200!'

"B*tch you’re in the hole by $400, this week." - Crystalbow.

"A tame one, but smoke tobacco."

"My dad has always smoked like a chimney and I've seen what it's done to his lungs, his teeth, the way he and his clothes smell."

"I love the man, but there was no greater deterrent to me smoking growing up than seeing what happens to someone after 40 years of near-constant smoking."

"It's just disgusting."

"I'm not the sort of person who has ever done drugs more than a couple of times, and I stopped drinking years ago, primarily because I'm an a**hole that I don't like when drunk and high, but I'd still rather do those than smoke cigarettes, and it's frankly baffling that cigarettes are still legal and everywhere." - Koras.
