What can't you do that most people can?

[Donthugmeimscared]

My son has just started cubs and got his new uniform plus a load of badges to sew on. I was given them and asked for them to be on for Sunday's remembrance service. I thought fair enough i sewed a cushoin at school once went and bought some thread and needle and have now been sitting here for 2hours and have taken the first one off 4 times as it's either wonky or looks shit.

So what average things can't you do?

I can’t ride a bike

Swim

That thing where you bite off a bit of sellotape with your teeth. I need scissors!

Fall asleep "as soon as my head hits the pillow". Though I believe the people who say that are fibbing.

Dance

Swallow tablets

Can almost manage now at the age of 35 but requires a lot of water and shifting positions between sitting and standing..

Not your question I know, but are you holding the badge in place with a pin (or another needle)? Stops the wonkyness at least!

Catch things

@safariboot

I thought this was impossible until I met my DP who literally gives me a kiss, says 'goodnight darling' and is asleep the second that he turns over and puts his head on the pillow.

It's his superpower [grins]

I am a Beaver leader, having been 'invested' in the summer. I still have to sew on my badges :)

Same here safari!

I can't do basic maths

I have maths o level and a first class degree so I know I am brightish

I have dyscalculia - I can't see numbers as amounts and I can't carry the concept of numbers in my head

So how did I pass my o Level? Dots - lots of dots on pieces of paper.

Give me a 15000 word dissertation on early years education and psychology and I can do it with ease - basic addition - fuck it

Whistle

Whistle!

I can't play chess or skate (ice skating or roller skating)

Ride a bike. Use chopsticks. Whistle.

Ride a bike and whistle.

Click my fingers

Whistle, catch.

Blow up balloons
Tell left from right

Can't rotate any image in my head. Maps etc. Nope. Can't enter dates into a calendar correctly. Inevitably I'm a day or a week out.. causes no end of grief but am not dyslexic, dyslexic or dyscalculic. Just a weird mental glitch.

Lip-read. When people try to silently mouth at me, I have no idea what they're trying to say.

Wolf whistle
Draw
Cut bread into neat slices

Dyspraxic, Dyslexic or discalculic... damn autocorrect.

Swim or whistle
