What could you NOT do, even if your life depended on it?

LIGHTHEARTED

After commenting on another thread that my worst nightmare would be to have to dive underwater & resurface somewhere else. You always see it in films & they look like they’ll run out of air. Or they do it on Bushtucker Trials.

I can’t even watch it on tv / a film - gives me such anxiety. It is related to a PTSD issue, so that makes it maybe a bit more understandable, but I’m not sure I could do it, even if my life depended on it. Obviously, I’d have to try... 😬

What, if anything, would you struggle with?

Tile a bathroom. My 5 year old would do a better job.

I have useless upper body strength too, so wouldn't be able to do monkey bars. I once had to crawl on my front through a tight gap in a cave and that still gives me shivers even now.

Cycle a bike, tried learning as a teenager and I got the ground so many times, I just gave up. Maybe with stabilizers...

I'm another who cannot touch feet..... shudder....

I couldn't walk across that glass bridge either or look over the edge of a cliff. I strangely have no problem with heights just a massive fear of falling to my death!

I also wouldn't be able to run for my life or hold on for dear life!

Anything involving being trapped in a small space. I’m very claustrophobic. Add water into that and there’s no way in hell! I get anxiety in a swimming pool

Caving. I mean, what sort of insane do you have to be to do that for fun?

Hula hoop or do anything involving heights.

Parallel park, even though it did it on all 5 driving tests (& I failed for other reasons) 🙈

Eat something vile. The pictures of the young Chinese woman ripping apart a whole bar with her teeth whilst grinning 🤮

Getting in dirty water. I don't even have bubbles in the bath as I can't see below them.

Most of these tbh 😂

BAT not bar.

Caving. I mean, what sort of insane do you have to be to do that for fun?

Exactly this!

caving
scuba diving in dark water
touch a snake - makes me feel nauseous just writing the word tbh
eating food like octopus or squid or frogs legs or snails - just no

Oooh High things, fucking pot holing or geocaching (is that the jumping off rocks into equally rocky water). Glass bridges 😖

Until your correction, I was thinking more along the lines of Bourneville. YANBU

Horse riding. Horses are fucking scary and you can't tell what on earth they are thinking.

I'm starting to realise I'm a great big Jessie reading this thread.

Touch or eat spiders
I know it's completely irrational but just....NO!

Bunji jump. Fuck that!

I'm terrified of heights, so that glass bridge of doom - nope. But I could jump off a cliff into water. Well, if being pursued by someone trying to sign me up for caving or an amphibian shark.

Is the Chinese glass bridge the one where they’ve put some sort of LCD on the flooring to make “cracks” appear when people walk across it or is that something else? I must confess to giggling at some of the people’s reactions on YouTube but if it happened to me I would piss myself out of fear on the spot.

Mine would be anything involving snakes or crocodiles. Or anything involving heights. Basically anything of the tasks on I’m A Celebrity

Nearly all of these TBH! Cave Diving would be so scary (has anyone watched Steve Backshall on Sunday eves "Undiscovered Worlds" where they are the first people to discover a network of Caves in Mexico?) Simply breathtaking ! Hes quite a big guy and has to squeeze through the tightest gaps. Makes me feel worried just watching him! Dont fancy jumping out of a plane either or eating insects .

@Bloomburger I love horse riding. As for what they're thinking, I'm of the opinion that they're whispers a bit dim, so probably "grass... ooooh need a poo... runny abouty bit..."

Eat meat or seafood. I’ve tried over the years as I’ve always had low iron levels so it has affected my health, but I just can’t. Really can’t eat anything that was once alive. A bushtucker trial a la I’m a Celebrity would be my worst nightmare.

Walk across a rope bridge suspended at a height of more than 6 feet.

Pick up dog shit. No matter how many bags you gave me. Gagging just thinking about it.

@nowlook was just going to message you asking if you could help me with something... "dog related"
