What useless skills can you NOT do?

I can’t make a paper airplane. Not even with detailed instructions. I can’t draw any person or animal figure that is not named Sticky Stickerton. I was in high school before I could draw your standard five pointed star.

It should be obvious by now that my spatial skills are more than a little lacking.

Yeah, I am basically coordinated too, but the paddle game frustrated me to no end. I can even juggle a little bit. (nothing more complicated than three identical items).

Can’t do the fingers-in-your-mouth whistle, can’t roll Rs (big pain in the ass when you took 6 years of Spanish…), can’t see Magic Eye pictures and…

don’t laugh…

I can’t ride a bike. I never managed to learn. I always fell over.

::hangs head::

Um, sorry AntaresJB, I laughed. But I wasn’t laughing at you, I was laughing near you. Ridicule me at will, in response.

I cant do the finger whistle either!

I can’t do anything mentioned in this thread.

I cant whistle because I can’t roll my tongue, and I can’t wink:p :wink:

I can’t snap my fingers.

Another non-loud whistle-finger-whistle type person here.

I cannot move my ears (without my hands, that is) or wiggle my nose.

Otherwise, I think I’m okay. A good friend of mine cannot belch at all. When it comes out, it sounds like a hiccup - it’s very frustrating for him because he really wants to.

I am completely unable to roll R’s, which sometimes makes me feel like a dunce, particularly if watching something in Spanish.

Is that what’s wrong with me? I also had a lazy eye when I was a little kid, and I can’t see the Magic Eyes at all. I can’t whistle either, maybe the breathing in technique would work for me. Wanna explain? No snapping of fingers either. I can at least roll my tongue.

I must confess, I also cannot ride a bike. Its a long story but basically I just never had the motivation to learn.

I can’t burp either. When I have gas to release, I just sort of deeply breath it out.

How do you roll R’s?

can’t raise just one eyebrow. Can only raise both of them. Damned annoying.

I can roll my R’s, but I haven’t a clue as to how to tie a cherry-stem into a knot. I also can’t blow bubbles with bubblegum. I can’t lean backwards until my hands hit the floor. I can’t whistle.

I can only raise my right eyebrow. For some reason, my left one just will not do it. I can raise them both at the same time, but only the right one individually. It’s kinda weird.

I also cannot roll my R’s. According to my Spanish teacher, if you haven’t learned by a certain age, you’re never gonna learn. I always used to try when I was a kid, because my mom can do it perfectly, but I never could.

I can whistle normally, but the fingers in the mouth thing? Uh uh. Also, I can’t do the whistle with the piece of grass thing either.

Oops, can’t ride a bike either. I was actually going to start a thread begging for advice on that in a few days.

Tanaqui, I’m with you. Also, I don’t know how to whistle at all. I can’t do that trick where you pretend to have pulled off your thumb.

I can do the loud whistle. I used to be able to do it really well, but then I had three teeth replaced with a bridge and now it is not so loud.

I can’t do the two finger whistle, but I can fake it by sticking two fingers to my mouth and doing the standard loud whistle.

I can’t juggle although my brother and my son can.

T. Slothrop, perhaps you could help out the many whistling-impaired thread-denizens, and give us some instruction. I really want to learn.
