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

Click my fingers. I try but no sound comes.

Use a tin opener. I've bought cheap ones and expensive ones but they still rip the piss right out of me. DP knows when I'm trying to use one by the pirate language coming from the kitchen

I can resonate with most of these, I'll add that I cannot drive.

I can’t cut my fingernails. I have to bite them.

I can't play chess. I just don't understand why the horsy one does different moves to the castle one or why prawns are involved. Why is there no finishing line?

Drink wine. Why would anyone even want to? It smells rank. Juice or fizzy drinks are nice if you want something fancier than water.

Understand financial stuff. I hate when the bank sends me letters because it's all just Greek to me.

See the point in marriage. You only have to look on here to see what a shitfest most relationships turn into.

Deal with dead things found in the garden. No way could I cope with a small furry or feathery corpse.

Sew on a button. Not that it's really an issue, but I always just chuck the spare buttons you get with tops because I wouldn't have the first clue how to attach them.

Change a tyre.

Clean glass. I don't know what the secret is but I just end up with a horrible smeary mess if I attempt it.

Follow politics. It's all bullshit anyway as far as I can make out.

Make small talk with other adults. What are we supposed to say to each other? Children and animals I can prattle to for hours, but there's nothing to say to other grown ups.

Drive or swim.

Nothing, I'm an adult so if really required I do it, might not like it but if life requires I do, I do

Keep my bedroom tidy.

Maths, ds came home & asked me to help him with his homework, I ended up googling the answers.
Joined up handwriting, my handwriting looks like a 12 year olds, it looks scruffy & childish, I can spell & punctuate, it's just my handwriting.

Drive.
Climb a ladder. I get vertigo and flail around like an octopus.

Peel a banana 🙁 I just can't do it. Monkeys can do it FFS!!

I mean I can't start it!

Be organised.
Effectively explain to my 6 year old that I is a word but also a letter yet Why is a word but the letter is Y. - that was a long journey home from school!

Clean windows.
Spell necessary without thinking "one collar and two sleeves"
The list is endless.
I hate adulting!

Dontfuckingsaycheese

You have to pinch the bottom and ignore the stalk..

Relate to a lot of these.
Can’t
Do any kind of arty crafting painting, knitting, pot making, nothing.
Read a map to save my life.
Cook an omelette without it turning into a big scrambled egg with bits in mess
Probably loads more but it’s 1am so that will do
Oh yeah can’t sleep through the night!

Oh I also can’t drive!

Mental arithmetic. Tried as a kid, tried an adult, still can't get it. I can work out on paper, just not in my head!
Also struggle with left and right, which was interesting when I learned to drive.
I also struggle to say 'No' to people and can be a bit of a doormat

@MissPollyHadADolly19 - well you've just taught me "one collar two sleeves" and saved me a lifetime of spellchecker and googling, so thank you!

Use Excel, really
I do swear too much

Cut up my food

Whistle

Make a relationship with a man work. Just under 6 years is the best I’ve ever managed.

They are just so completely illogical.

Climb into the loft. In my defence I have vertigo. But at 44, I now send one of my DSs up. I’ve literally never seen the inside of my loft.

Ride a bike. I wasn’t allowed as a child (we lived near a main road & had an anxious mother). I learnt to drive at 17, so it’s never seemed worthwhile as an adult.
