What's something mundane you can't do?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I for one cannot swallow pills without extreme difficulty. I’ll either chew the bastard with a spoonful of honey or have to uncomfortably jam my fingers half way down my throat and manually release the pill. How about you?

2

Do that loud whistle involving two fingers. :mad:

3

Ditto.

4

I gag every single time I brush my teeth. If only it were an optional activity.

5

Touch my toes

6

Drive stick shift.

7

Blow up balloons. It’s a combination of poor breath control and fear.

8

Wrap presents (with anything approaching an acceptable appearance. Thank heaven for gift bags.)

9

I can’t roll my R’s.

10

I can’t see those 3-D pictures. (That’s mundane, isn’t it?) I can’t do that two-fingered whistle, either.

11

Same on the two finger whistle here - and the rolling of the RRRs.

I am very colour-deficient, and apparantly that’s what stops me seeing those 3D pictures. Also, I have trouble seeing a ginger cat on a green lawn, which is pretty mundane.

12

two-fingered whistle, and skip rope.

13

Any kind of whistle for me.

14

Another non-whistler here.

15

Swim.

16

That is mine as well. I just learned to make it look OK sitting straight up. If you turn it upside down, the mess is painful and obvious. Forget about ribbons although I can do bows quite well as long as they are pre-made and self-sticking. Plop.

17

Whistle

18

A cartwheel.

19

I was a pretty good gymnast as a child and true cartwheels are one of the most underrated tricks in difficulty for floor gymnastics. Most people, even young aspiring cheerleaders, can’t do them correctly. The cartwheels cousin, the round-off is even harder for people to get right. They both take many hours of practice so I wouldn’t feel bad. Those kids that throw their hands to the ground and spin up in some random orientation and land on their feet again aren’t doing real cartwheels.

I can roll my Rs, but I can’t roll my tongue.

I can’t see those 3-D “magic pictures” either.

I don’t know if “things you don’t get” is outside the scope of this thread, but I can’t keep military ranks straight. Is a captain higher than a major?!?

I likewise don’t get key signatures, despite having had to learn them numerous times. I can no more look at the number and position of sharps or flats in the signature and tell you what key it’s in (other than the easy ones, like C and G and F) than I could read Sanskrit.
