What normal things can you not do?

[Soubriquet]

I can’t blow up a balloon. It hurts my ears
I can’t click

Touch my toes.

Drive.
Ride a bike.
Swim.

Basically I am useless at getting myself from A to B 😂

Open a bottle with a metal cap, e.g. beer, with any grace whatsoever.

Bottle in one hand, decent bottle opener in the other, so far so good. But the cap ends up - bent in half, flying across the room, dropping gently while I fumble and spill the drink, skinning my fingers on one memorable occasion, or having a range of other mishaps. Luckily I don't drink beer! But I do like a cider sometimes, and to be not helpful helpful to others. 🤷‍♀️

I can ride a bike but not in a straight line 😁 No idea why.

I can’t drive (well technically I can) but I have a complete inability to process what is going on, so I keep others safe by abstaining.

I have never been able to put my hair up properly.

I can't blow my nose. I find it slightly scary and hate the feeling.

I could never eat a baked bean but are fine with kidney beans in a chilli.

Curl my hair with a straightening iron.

I can't dive either. My dad taught my other siblings no problem, I just can't do it. I used to do a bomb jump into pools, now I'm a grown up I do the walk down the steps. It's very dull.

I can't knit. At all. I even bought knitting for dummies. Still couldn't do it.

I can't use those big printers/photocopier machines. I just can't get my head around them.

I struggle with excel. I can do simple things but no one seems to be able to show me what it's capable of. I've been on courses, read books but I just want to be shown what I can use it for.

I also can't follow aerobics or dance sequences.

I'm sure I have dyspraxia. Was told I was a clumsy child

I can't be the only one who just read that and tried it. I can wink on either side.

GET ME 😙🤪😉

I can't butter bread without ripping a hole in it.

Can’t sit, walk up or downhill, put on socks or tights

I can't draw to the extent that it's ridiculous. I would have liked to have gone into archaeology or garden design, but my level of drawing ability is on a par with a two year old with a blunt crayon, so I didn't.

Anything involving numbers. Am currently doing my tax return and despite double and triple checking I've managed to file an incorrect return and now need to correct it. Numbers just seem to become invisible to me and whole columns just vanish! I also need a clock with a big face and REALLY BIG NUMBERS or I get the time wrong all the...well..time.

Oh yes, the hair up thing too. I see people with messy casual but lovely looking buns and ponytails. No. If it is loose at all it will just slip down my head and a tied bin bag looks more attractive. Or pinning bits of hair back - hahaha, what strange physics has everyone else mastered, I practically need a staple gun to get something like that to stay. And claw clips 😂 I see you people with loose and casual hair, but it looks nice, is out the way, and you're getting on with your day. No. Mine either just falls out/slips down, or I look no better than a bag of chips with a freezer clip on it.

Raise my eyebrows.
( no brow muscles.. so I'm lucky l don't have lines).

I'm also bad at numbers and could never get my head around algebra or fractions!

Can't whistle blowing out only by sucking in air

Can't do a flick with eyeliner

Have a fear of joining a motorway it gives me severe anxiety- I'm okay once I'm on there!

Roll my r's

Do butterfly stroke

Wrapping up presents look very sad after I've tried my best with paper and sellotape!
Some things are just better left in a gift bag

I can't whistle, spit or tie shoelaces "like a normal person" (quote from my beloved parents!). Eventually I worked out a way to tie my laces by making two separate loops, crossing them and tucking one through the gap in the middle, but my parents are still annoyed that I can't do it "normally". They blame me being left-handed (although they would say cack-handed).

I can ride a bike but I can only take my one of my arms off the handlebar to signal or I wobble dangerously. One arm is fine, I can control the handlebars just fine with it while the other does what is needed, but the other way round I can only wave momentarily before grabbing for the handlebars again. I also can’t move off without my bum on the saddle, I cannot for the life of me do that thing where you hold your bike to your right, put the left foot on its pedal, push off and swing the right leg over that I see other people doing effortlessly. In fact I can’t stand on the pedals at all, bum has to be on saddle at all times. I very rarely ride a bike now.

I can’t breathe and swim at the same time. It’s one or the other.

I can’t whistle.

I can’t drive on roads with more than 2 lanes per side.

I can only click my fingers on my right hand, not my left. No idea why… (and I’m left handed).

Tie up my hair.
Touch my face with my right hand
Kneel
Get up and down off the floor
Walking down stairs properly
Put my arms above my head
Straighten my arms
Point my toes
Have a bath

Sure there's more!

Out of interest, why?

An embarrassing number of physical activities... I think I have dyspraxia!

I can't whistle, click my fingers, blow up a balloon.

I can learn reasonably quickly how to drive, swim and ride a bike but then I forget very quickly how to if I'm not doing it really regularly.

me too! I am happy to be driven on motorways but cannot drive on them myself.

I can't blow my nose
