What “normal” thing can’t you do?

[Soubriquet]

I can’t click my fingers. I’ve tried many years but I can’t click.

I can whistle. Not very well but I can.

I cannot touch my toes without bending my knees. Never been able to

This thread makes me feel so much better about myself! I am so rubbish with directions, following instructions, parking, mental arithmetic and so many other things that my husband and kids find easy.

I am a very good at driving (in my automatic car obviously) on roads that I am familiar with but rubbish on unfamiliar routes. I just panic.

Another non balloon blower here. I have to use one of those hand pumps.

I also cant tie them closed either

I can't look nice on a photo. Even if I am relaxed and happy I look rigid and weird

Reverse into a parking space

Watch a film. I get bored and zone out/ walk off

I can't do sit-ups and never could, even as a child.

Raise my left eyebrow on its own, I can do so with the right - and both together, but not the left.

Recite my times tables.

Get the hang of any dance, or card games.
Sing, whistle or spit.
Make pancakes, or fry anything in home-made batter - it just falls apart.

I also can't follow magic tricks. By the end of the trick, when you're supposed to be amazed, I have forgotten how it started.

I have to fake amazement ( my-Brother-in law is a magician)

Wink with my right eye
Cut a straight line
Put my heels to.my.bum (stretch)
Whistle
Roll my 'R's

I think I'm broken.....

I can't do it either!

My daughter can't either!

She's 16 and has never burped.

She can fart on demand though... swings and roundabouts! 🤣

I’ve found my people here!!!! Swim, ride a bike, whistle and roll my rs, figure out directions or give them!

Oh and cook anything beautifully … sigh!!

Funnily enough, I can only light a lighter by holding it in one hand, and using the
forefinger on me other hand to light it

Throw a ball.

The Limb Formerly Known As My Throwing Arm (always a 'far fielder' in bat sports at school) has either retired or emigrated without leaving a forwarding address sometime over the last 40 years.

Cartwheel, remember my times tables

My son can't blow his nose. Or tell time on an analogue clock. Or swim, despite lessons.

He is 18.

He is however an excellent driver with a great sense of direction. And an A student who is soon off to university.

Oh god yes, directions too. I immediately get annoyed with anyone trying to give me directions because they NEVER make sense. Probably need to consider being annoyed with myself instead.

Swim front crawl. It can look effortless when other people do it but I just can’t seem to get my arms and legs to propel me forwards.

Literally came on to say click my fingers (my kids think it's hilarious!) and it was in the OP. So happy I'm not the only one!
I can do front crawl (badly) but otherwise can't swim or float
I also have never done a cartwheel

Roll my R's or purr
Burp
Sit in a squat comfortably (heels come up despite years of yoga)
Swim breaststroke (I actually go backwards)

Can't ride a bike, can't drive, have no sense of balance. No to cartwheels and handstands.

Can't tell right from left and am hopeless with directions. ...I'm sure I've sent many a person who has asked for directions to a place they didn't want to go!

@thefirstmrsrochester
Can’t make pancakes. Fuck it up at every attempt.
I thought I was the only one! I can’t make omelettes either

The only swimming I can do is wither a doggy paddle, or laying on my back and kicking my legs and flapping my arms like a bird to make me move.

That’s it

Relationships, socialising and peeling eggs

Tie balloons

remember directions even if it is somewhere I’ve just been e.g get lost going to and from loo in hospital. Can’t remember directions to places that I go to regularly.

I can't light a match

Slice bread. I always end up with a really wonky loaf or the loaf completely squashed, leading to comments about the Texas Bread Knife Massacre etc from the rest of the family. I can cut other things with no difficulty, just not bread. Sliced bread really is the best thing for me!
