What can't you do even as an adult?

[HeartStrings]

What can't you do that an adult is supposed to?

I'm 28 and I can't crack an egg.
Also can't tell my left from right lol

Appreciate seafood like an adult.

I want to like fruits la mer and all that. I want to toss a crevette into my mouth in a carefree manner using only my fingers, in between sips of chilled Sauvignon, whilst laughing at some sophisticated in joke with my enlightened peers........but........ FISH! UGH! SLIMY! NO!!!

Have you tried cracking an egg, by using the blade of a knife rather than hitting the side of a mixing bowl?

I can't open those medicine bottles that are meant to be childproof.

Blow up or tie balloons

I can’t open any fizzy drinks so end up looking like a pathetic damsel in distress and need to ask the nearest man to me

I cannot keep my mouth shut

Omg those medicine bottles do my head in. And bleach bottles. Come to think of it sauce bottles and beetroot jars too, and they aren’t even safety ones just regular bottles. So to sum up, bottles are my nemesis...!

Climb a ladder.

I am not generally afraid of heights I just can’t seem to do it without imagining plunging to my death. Four rungs is my max.

Make phone calls

Ladders- I can go up them but not down them!

Drive

Knit

Cycle

Swim properly

Cook properly

It's a wonder I've got to retirement age!

Maths.

I'm almost 40 and I have to use my fingers or a calculator.

I can’t knead bread.

Make an omlette

Stop swearing

Change a tyre

Catch really big spiders. I've improved but I just found one in my bed ffs and hyperventilated while DH dealt with it. I am now too scared to go to bed despite being ill and horrifically tired.

Click my fingers.
Orientate myself in unfamiliar places.
Deal with medium to large spiders.

Do long division.

Knit. I could learn if I wanted to but I have zero interest in learning. I can do basic sewing - buttons, hems, brownie badges, but I can't make curtains or clothes - again because I have no interest in it.

Open a new plastic bag, where the two sides are pressed together

Drive
Whistle
Click my fingers
Skim stones
Press-ups

Basic sewing - I can't even sew a button on a shirt. My mum does it for me. I am 46 years old

Do front crawl. I am a confident swimmer but never mastered front crawl. I've actually considered booking a couple of 1:1 lessons but it seems like a waste of money.

Remember how to get to places. I have to use sat nav or a map for the first half dozen times I do a journey.

Ride a bike.

Tie a tie, my 15 year old daughter has to fix her sisters tie every morning I can make clothes, knit and crochet, but still can’t master a tie

Spiders. I deal with them, the kids don't know (though the idea of collecting them humanely is impossible- I kill them) but when it happens I have nightmares for days. I shudder and can barely eat, I have flashbacks. My skin crawls and when I'm alone I cry about the experience. It's horrific and I wish I was a better adult.

I can’t drive
Whistle
Tell my left from my right
Put up wallpaper (but can paint a room in an hour and a half)
Add up without a calculator
Read a map
Bang a nail into a wall-I always chip the plaster/bend the bloody thing
Deal with wasps-I’m allergic to the stings-spiders don’t bother me-flies I can kill with my bare hands-wasps make me run for my life
Hold copper coins for longer than a minute-the smell it leaves on my hands makes me gag

I’m a hopeless adult lol
