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

Another non-whistler here. I used to be able to do it.

Also
Knitting
Sewing more than a button
Crocheting

Swim confidently
Eat a decent healthy balanced diet.
Tell my left from my right without pausing and thinking about it. It’s a thing op!

Click my fingers, whistle with fingers in mouth.
I am very unsteady on a bike.

Swim. Ok, I cant even let go of the side of the pool . I'd so love to be able to swim...

opening jars/bottles rap edge of lid onto surface and often you hear the seal go and lid slightly inflates.easy to get off!!
Clean windows I swear by wilko window cleaner

I can't drive and still say "Lucy lefty,righty tighty

I can't play "rock-paper-scissors" which my 8ys old dd thinks is pathetic :)

I also don't get the reasoning behind it.
I'm 41.

Drink tea or coffee
Keep the house tidy

Roll my Rs - and all my kids can

Eat beetroot.
extricate an artichoke heart after eating the rest - end up covered with ‘hairs’ and with the tiniest heart imaginable.
Make scrambled eggs - always goes wrong - dry or fried results
Paint (diy) without creating chaos.

Sew, do my daughter's hair in anything more complicated than a ponytail, make a pancake.

(Try cracking eggs against each other, only one will break and it will be in nice big chunks rather than shattered like with other methods.)

(Also, if you hold your hands a little like a handshake position, look at your thumb and forefinger. The left side makes a perfect L shape. The right makes a backwards L!)

I can't whistle, no matter how many times people have tried to prove otherwise, and I also can't swim. There was a time a good instructor on holiday did get me working on it but it was such a struggle and I've lost whatever small ability I had!

I also can't walk past a cat and ignore it, doesn't matter I'm with a client and should be professional if there's a cat there you will hear me cooing at it. I don't even engage my brain to think "let's not" it's almost like a pavlovian response "see cat, make fuss".

I can't not lose things. I'm absolutely terrible for misplacing items. It drives me mad.

(I did a nice boiled egg with hard white and runny yolk for the first time ever the other week at the age of 37. Before that, if I wanted a boiled egg, I would have to get my dad to make it for me. I felt like I had finally arrived in adulthood.)

Click my fingers
Climb over a fence
Cook

Stay asleep. I can get to sleep no problem, just can’t stay asleep all night.

Do my 6, 7 and 8 times tables.

There’s many more I’m sure! I’m quite an incompetent adult really 😁

Sew, swim well, throw and catch

Turn cartwheels well
Eat Oysters or eels

Change a washer on a tap

I can't use chopsticks. I really, really can't. I have tried for years, bought child chopsticks, practised at home by myself night after night.

Now I'm 46 and I give up. I only go to Chinese restaurants with people I know really well who aren't embarrassed by me quietly asking for a fork.

I think there must be something wrong with my brain as I can do everything else that adult life requires. But not this.

Drive, ride a bike, swim. Climb a ladder higher than 3 rungs.

I know my limitations!

I also can't drink any more. I used to be able to have a few drinks in the pub but since hitting 50 one glass of wine and I'm almost asleep!

Click my fingers or whistle

Do a cartwheel. I just wouldn't want to do any movement where I could land on my face and hurt myself.

Understand cricket. DH was exasperatedly trying to explain the rules yesterday but it's just like some switch goes 'Zzzz' in my head and I stop listening.

Keep socks together after washing, no matter how I try I just end up with loads of odd socks!

I can't whistle either. I was borderline tongue tie as a baby but not severe enough to be operated on. Not sure if that's the reason.

Drink wine or champagne it's absolutely rank.

For those who can't tell their left from their right, remember, your right hand is the hand you write with. Rule only works of you a re right handed though
