What normal things can you not do?

[Soubriquet]

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

Exactly. I've not been able to do it since I was 16.

I can't whistle while exhaling, I can only do it inhaling.

I can't do it by choice or on cue. When I have done it in genuine shock it has given me a massively sore throat. If I try all I can mange is a squeak.

Well, I’m another one who just can’t do it!

I struggle with items of clothing that have hooks that are intertwined ( such as on bikini tops )
I end up in a twisted mess

Golf. It never goes where I'm trying to send it. It's so frustrating.

I can't turn the right way out of shops! Always forget where I am. Terrible sense of direction in general.

Go under water without holding my nose. Can't dive or do front crawl, but I'm fine at the other (basic) strokes.

Also can't knit. When I gave up smoking I took an evening class, bought expensive wool, just couldn't learn, no matter how hard myself and the teacher tried

My sense of direction is so bad it's legendary!
I have learnt to do landmarks and sat nav is a god send, but I have been lost on more than one occasion!

I can do this! Both my dds still twizzle it round though.

I am the same.

That has sparked many a discussion on MN (not with me personally but I have read them). Although now I have a few (sports bras particularly) that I put over my head like a crop top.

I can't whistle with fingers in my mouth and I have to blow my nose one nostril at a time. And I have to swim with a nose clip.

I have just started to teach myself to play the piano again. I have a bit of muscle memory but have forgotten most of it. So I started from the very beginning of my piano lessons book one :)

I have no idea what I am doing with the bass clef. I can read the treble clef ok.

I was never that good at reading music and once I knew a piece used to play it from ear.

Ditto. I've tried a couple of times but I'm just not going to bother now.

I can, but very, very VERY rarely. Could probably count on two hands the number of times I have burped. It's odd. Is it a thing? Can some people just not do it?

Me neither, I can't pronounce the R correctly in any language other than non rhotic English

I do my bra up from behind @fingertraps Well at least I used to. I have a rotator cuff problem at the moment. My goal with the physio is to be able to do my own bra up again.

I was 20 when I learned how to tie my shoelaces.

+1 for being unable to roll my Rs…a nightmare for someone living in Italy and having to speak Italian!

I can’t swim.
When I want to say green I say blue and when I want to say blue I say green. I’ve learned to correct it to the point I say gree’blue and blu’green.
I also cannot recover from having my heart broken and I can’t dance for too long without losing my balance. I know… I’m killing it at life. 😂

Two the both of you, this has actually given me the confidence to get driving lessons again because I’ve suddenly realised I won’t have to do this in real life! Thank you!

How many people read that then tried it! 😂

Thread a needle. Then when I manage to do it, the thread falls out after 2 stitches. I can blame my eyesight now as thread too small to tie a knot.

Swim
Whistle

I never knew anyone else who had this until now!
For me it's orange and green. I don't do it any more, I think it was a problem until I was in my thirties. It was just like my brain short-circuited when I first learnt the colours, and it took decades to fix.

I can't click fingers,whistle,dive,drive,knit crochet or speak another language.
But i can change a plug,change a barrel in a door lock and a barrel of beer,pull a pint and change a tyre though.

Can't open jars anymore

It really fucking hurts
