Things You Can't Do That Seemingly Everybody Else Can.

Susannahmia

I can't click my fingers.

I cant eat "the proper way" with a fork using my left hand, have to use my right to have any coordination.

I can't see 3d at all. My eyes are wonky. The new 3d movie trend is my new pet hate and I could never do those magic eye thingys either.

Dun

I can't roll my r's properly. Which made studying Spanish at degree level a bitch.

Cill Dara Abu

I can't swim I trash around like a shark having a fit.

The Princess Bride

I can't, no matter how I try, drive into a parking spot.
I always have to reverse in,no matter how many cars coming behind me- I take the extra few seconds to reverse in.

Same here, very annoying as people keep going on then about how amazing they are.

I can't:
-Click my fingers
-Whistle properly
-Play volleyball (I seriously hate the stupid game, whenever I try to hit the ball I end up hitting it straight up in the air and then running away as it comes back down on my head!)
- Control a remote control car/boat (I can drive a real car but toy cars elude me. Same with video games where you have to drive a car. I have absolutely no hand-eye coordination whatsoever )

PseudoFamous

After a mildly embarrassing incident in the main street (no damages or injuries, thankfully), I would like to add "parallel park" to the things I can't do.

I am the same. I have really bad vision in just my right eye and I'm not able to watch those 3d films either. I think you need equal vision in both eyes to see that 3d crap.

ITS A SCHOONER! *punch*

Skerries

move my adams apple without swallowing

turn my eyelids inside out (icky!)

TheRealSquishy

Open my eyes underwater, it's just so damn stingy.
Can't so "smokey eyes", and I had to stop trying after people thought my OH was beating me up.
No cartwheels or handstands for me either, also can't hulahoop for more than 3 seconds.

I can't dance. All of my friends want to "go out dancing!" and get so excited at the prospect but the very thought of it makes me wanna hover in a dark corner.

Reiss Avfc

Take a dump in a public toilet ..

Bubble gum.

I can't blow bubbles. It wrecked my head as a kid when everyone else was able to do it. And the instructions people used to give me to help me to do it. It always ended up with the gum flying out onto the floor.

whirlpool

Oh, I also can't be happy during a hangover, and people who can wreck my head.

When girls say go out dancing, does it not just mean necking their bodyweight in alcopops, rotating their bum for a bit, then lying on the floor of a nightclub with their legs flailing about in the air, their dress up around the naval area, then trotting off to the nearest chip shop for a greasy kebab?

That's been my experience of Irish girls going 'out dancing'.

spitfireIRL

Sleep at normal respectable times..

CrazyRabbit

Keep my home clean.

Someone once asked why there was sand in my room. There wasn't...it was a few months accumulation of dust.

I don't bother the dust, and it doesn't bother me. If I clean it, I end up sneezing and all blocked up for days.

Oh, and I also can't cook in a frying pan. Everything I put in there comes out overcooked or undercooked.

I am the same with the frypan... Take that one off the list

I can't ski - at all. While everyone is always able to move on to the intermediate slopes after a few days, I am still stuck on the beginners slope.

I took to ice skating really easily though.

Asphyxia

Power walk! I just look wrong.

Everyone that powerwalks looks wrong.

I can't reverse out of parking spaces, or drive straight into them. I can only reverse into them and drive out of them. It seems to be the opposite with everyone else.

Cupcake_Crisis

I cant

Blow bubbles with chewing gum put petrol in the car knit shop in marks and sparks

du Maurier

Much talk of whistling on here. It's a useless endeavour; usually a tuneless expelling of air by most and I can't reason why anyone does it. I generally find it's employed by people, generally in a queue, and use it passively aggressively to let everyone 'know they're there' seething behind you. Probably reading too much into it:pac:

Would your attempt not warrant at least a phone number?

Why not?? You mean you can't stop at the right amount or you cant park close enough to the pump or what?

Maybe he/she can't aim it in the hole and sprays it over the bumper instead. Sort of like the Airplane 'drinking problem' with petrol.

Click my fingers.
Whistle.
Tell left from right.
Climb down a ladder. Up, no problem, back down, serious danger issues.

Oh, and, dance, or clap in time. No sense of rhythm at all at all.

a fat guy

I can't bend my left foot inwards because I landed on it awkwardly when I was a kid...

griffdaddy

I can't shuffle playing cards. Not even basic shuffling. They just seem to get caught in my fingers and stick together or else fall all over the place.

exiledelbows

I can't tie a tie
