What normal things can you not do?

[Soubriquet]

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

Ski

Are there people who do their bra up from behind? Mind blown.

Wink/close one eye.

Swim.

Grow my fingernails.

Catch.

Skate.

Remember the rules of card games.

I can't read music either. Just dots on some lines....

@flapjackfairy you need to read this...

I do.

I can't

Whistle
hop
Hit a rounders ball unless I'm holding the bat upside down. I can whack it for quite a distance with the handle but miss every time with the right end.

I can't scream. I am a freezer/underreactor anyway but only realised I couldn't scream when I was in a play in which it was required. I really tried hard to practise in private but all that I could manage was a low growl.

I used to burp about once a year until I was in my late thirties. The I developed stomach problems reflux/GERD and I burp all the time! But I never know when it's going to happen so it's a bit embarrassing!

I can't wink with my right eye. Only my left.

And I can't tie shoelaces the grown up way. I have to tie 2 bunny ears together.

Well if you are trying to do both together I can understand.

I can’t wink either of them.

Whistle
Click my fingers
Roll my tounge
A roly poly somersault, that even most toddlers can do. During school PE lessons I'd get into the same position as everyone else and then crawl to the end of the mat and pretend I'd done it too!

I can only do 🖖 with my left hand. Thankfully I never meet any klingons.

Use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. Or anything else that requires a fingerprint. It just never works.

Clearly my fingerprint must change every minute or something....

I’m terrible at shaving my legs standing up. I have to sit down in the shower to do it or I cut myself every single time. I’ve been shaving my legs for 20 years 😅

I’m also really bad at knowing left from right on the spot - if you need to make a quick turn I am NOT your girl.

I can only wink with my left! I've never met anyone else who can only wink one eye - it's so nice to finally find I'm not alone!

me too.

Yes! That's the 'right' way to do it, according to...
Bravissimo, who have a vested interest in making sure you wear a bra properly (many people don't)
A radiographer friend who spends her life looking at breast tissue and says twisting bras around under your boobs isn't a good thing
A physio friend who says doing a bra up behind you is excellent for keeping a good range of mobility in your joints, and manual dexterity.

🤣🤣🤣

I inherited this problem from my Mum. I managed to solve it for me by swallowing pills with food instead of liquid. Yoghurt or similar textured pudding works but I find chewed food is best (sorry if TMI) You may have tried it already and full disclosure it never worked for my Mum but it does for me....of course you can't do it with the take on empty stomach tablets but if you can do it with just a small amount of food, it might be worth checking with the prescriber.

its one of those things where that is great advice if you can do it!

Sit cross-legged. Caused me no end of discomfort at primary school.

Whistle (unless it is through strands of grass between my thumbs, in which case I'm your woman.

Do up a tie. Used to be able to, totally forgotten how and just can't any more.

Long division.

Use a smart phone properly.

I can't burp either! I so wish I could. I get so jealous when I see someone neck a bottle of fizzy and do a huge one. Seems so satisfying. If I drink too much fizzy it just makes me feel really sick.

@whaddayawannado I can't sit cross-legged either and couldn't as a child. In Yoga, it's called the Easy Pose! Well I can confirm it absolutely isn't!
