And I always thought I was the only one! My friends are constantly making fun of me !
WillK, I think you’re my dad! (nobody drives his car - I dread the day he teaches me to drive)
Even after 37 years of trying, I can’t please my mother.
I can’t do the splits more than once.:eek:
(I meant nobody but my dad.)
I cannot understand money at all. Despite the fact I am usually excellent with numbers, the second someone puts a dollar sign in front of some it all becomes pure and total gibberish.
I can’t raise just one eyebrow or wink without contorting my face so much that it ruins the effect.
I also have zero sense of direction unless I’m outside and the sun is rising or setting. Inside of a building, in the middle of the day, or at night I need left/right directions.
I can’t float, which has driven multiple swimming instructors nuts. Somehow or other I learned to swim ok, but every attempt at dead man’s float or anything similar has ended with me sinking toward or landing on the bottom of the pool/lake/pond.
I can’t make a fortune selling taxidermed pets.
I can’t stop eating junk food.
I can’t stop chewing on the little plastic things that attach price tags to new clothes.
I can’t see a sheet of bubble wrap and not pop it.
I can’t tell a guy my feelings when i have a crush on him.
I can’t understand how a computer works
I can’t change a tire
I can’t go back and change a lot of things.
I can’t draw. The best I can do is stuff that is almost recognizable if, say, I was playing Pictionary.
Like the Dave-Man, I can’t use chopsticks. This sucks, because I love sushi, but it looks really stupid when I eat it with my fingers, or spear it.
Right now, I can’t finish my law school applications. Every time I think I’m almost done, I end up finding new things I need to do. It’s horribly frustrating. Luckily, I have another month to finish the busy-work.
I can’t pee standing up. Yes, I’m aware that I’m a woman, but someone here posted a link to a website that gives a technique for a woman to stand up to pee. So I go in the shower with a nice full bladder to try it, and nothing. I guess I’m so used to peeing sitting down that I get pee-shy when I try it standing up. Sucks, because I really want to learn how.
At Benihana restaurant they do this thing where they roll up the wrapper of the chopsticks, put it between the chopsticks like two inches below the top, and tie a rubber band around them above the paper roll. It makes them easier to use and that’s how I learned to use chopsticks.
Anyway, I absolutely cannot stand to have people stare at me. I HATE it. I always think they’re looking for my flaws or criticizing me or something. Also, I can’t look at people while we are talking. Lots of people have commented about it and even have gotten pissed at me because of that, but it’s just the way I am, I guess.

Not sure, actually. Trilling an ‘R’ may be different from rolling an ‘R’. Or it could be the same thing.
I’d say trilling is different.
Either way, I can’t trill/roll 'R’s.
I can’t whistle. I’ve tried my entire life, and can’t get a single clear note, just sounds like a raspberry.
…whistle with my fingers in my mouth
…whistle on a grass blade
…roll an “r”
…pronounce the french “r”, the guttural one
…find a boyfriend irl
Ride a Bike. My wife keeps promising to teach me, but we never get around to it. She can’t swim, so we’ve agreed to teach each other…one day.
Numbers! I have dyscalula (like dyslexia, only with numbers.) I can do basic addition in my head, but put it on paper & it looks like sanskrit. I’ve had endless tutoring, but I’m just not wired for it. Thank God for calculators. I also cannot reproduce any note on any musical instrument, which is frustrating because I love so many forms of music & can’t even hum along.
Oh, and I can’t whistle with my fingers in my mouth.
