    Whistle or sit cross legged:(
    Both seem to be things taken for granted that everyone can do but I cannot and never could.
    Heres the kicker though.
    Im a musician and singer (of little note) and time and again wander into songs with whistling verses (Me and Julio:cool:) where I either resort to the dread kazzoo or have to appoint a whistler prior to performance.
    Im also outdoorsey and into camping and have to wimp out and lug a chair with me.
    Life is so very very very unfair:(
    Is anyone similarly differently abled like me. Tell me your woes and how it makes your life a misery...
    The whine line is open

    Back in your box Kiera.

    I can't surmise a hypothetical situation unless maybe if I had an imagination I could.

    I can't use a fork with my left hand, I have no coordination whatsoever and would probably stab myself or someone else!

    I can't click my fingers.

    I can't see 3D stuff at all. Optician says I'm stereoblind.

    I can't dance, oh lord I definatly cannot dance! :o

    I could never do a forward roll let alone stand on my head or cart wheel!

    I write like a learning challanged five year old. :D People are always telling me I have the worst handwriting they have ever seen.

    Basically anything to do with coordination, I'm fecked.

    I always bet girls wearing low tops that they can't touch their bellybutton with both their elbows. The few seconds of awesome cleavage makes up for losing the bet.

    . . .click with the fingers on my right hand but can with my left - even though i'm right handed. How messed up is that???? :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I can't bend my little finger (on either hand) without bending my ring finger. If I hold the ring finger steady I'm physically incapable of bending my little finger.

    My theory is that my nerves in my hands are screwed up so all commands to the little finger go to the ring finger too (but not vice-versa, oddly).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    No, I cant dance, I cant talk. The only thing about me is the way I walk

    I only realised it when I was learning to play guitar, the guy teaching me thought it was very odd. Hasn't been a hindrance though, I can still play! If I keep my ring finger bent, I can move the little finger all I like.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    I can't open those locks like the ones used in those American high schools. The circular ones where you have to move the dial a few times in opposite directions.

    Never mastered it :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,406 ✭✭✭DyldeBrill


    I can't count to eleven on my fingers...dunno whats wrong with me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,274 ✭✭✭_feedback_


    I can't swim, it's a bastard.

    The one time it really was awkward was when I was out for a walk along a river one evening last summer, and came across this old man who was had slipped. He was hanging on to just the shrubs/long grass, and his head kept going underwater. He couldn't stand up. It was a fúcker just standing there like an eejit shouting for help. So that day I promised myself I would learn to swim.

    Haven't bothered me arse yet though.

    If I put out both of my hands flat and start wriggling all of my fingers the middle finger on my right hand stays still while the rest go mad.

    Ever since my hand accident it does that and looks fairly odd how it just stays static. Other than that it's fine.

    I've noticed lately that alot of people can't roll their R's at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,872 ✭✭✭strobe


    Whistle
    Im a musician and singer (of little note) and time and again wander into songs with whistling verses (Me and Julio:cool:) where I either resort to the dread kazzoo or have to appoint a whistler prior to performance.

    :( I feel your pain my friends... it's... it's... debilitating, that's the only word for it.

    Perhaps we should start a support group. The others... they just don't understand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle
