I can't use a lighter. Tried to use one once to light a candle and burnt my thumb. Never again!

Poach an egg.
Throw a ball to someone and it reach them.
Draw a line or circle without looking like a toddler did it.

Drive, do a cartwheel.

Can’t whistle.

Can’t touch my toes (fatness).

Can’t reverse park (although my car does it all by itself thankfully).

Can’t make pancakes. Fuck it up at every attempt.

Jazz hands!

I can do my right one but my left hand doesn’t shake!

MrsMcisaCt · 18/07/2022 18:51

Can't swim or ride a bike. Would never admit to this in real life btw!

PuttingDownRoots · 18/07/2022 18:52

Remember where I park the car. Or sometimes, which car I've taken with me (one of our cars is distinctive and easy to find, one blends in)

RockinStroll · 18/07/2022 18:53

Wink
Click my fingers
Whistle
Drive (and belive me, I've tried)

Bellybootcut · 18/07/2022 18:54

Tell someone else's left from their right. ie if someone says 'put it on the chair on my left'

BobMortimersPocketMeat · 18/07/2022 18:54

Burp. It’s a lot more inconvenient than it sounds.

KillerQueenGunpowderGelatine · 18/07/2022 18:55

Drive, swim, ride a bike.

(There are several of us here. Waves to all fellow failures at these forms of physical coordination.)

Not me but Dd1 has just graduated with her doctorate and really struggles to tell the time on an analogue clock.
