    I don't really know how to bike. I mean I can keep balanced and all but can't keep going on a straight line or do the turns or anything. The muscles related to these kind of tasks seem to be blocked, not that I am that unfit but it seems as if they muscles involved in biking were specially underdeveloped.

    I can't play a musical instrument either, nor whistle using my fingers.

    And you?

    Cross their legs when sitting. I have never been able to do that.

    Im colour blind as fook.

    Brown/red balls on a snooker table? Forget it, and opponents guaranteed a foul at least a couple of times in a frame.

    Blue/purple Look the same.

    The kids tooth brushes are apparently turquoise and pink. But they look the exact same to me.

    It's a curse at times.

    I can't sing a note. It's the one thing I'd love to be able to do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 888 ✭✭✭fmpisces


    The only way I can whistle is the opposite of the way you are meant to do it! :D

    I can't carry a bag on my right shoulder. It just feels "off".

    Everyone can sing.

    Some people have made millions out of not being great at it(Shane MacGowan, im looking at you here), I'll grant you that, but everyone can sing.

    When I read somewhere that there was a cure for dyspraxia it was like music to my arse.

    I can't ride a bike at all. Can't even keep balance.

    Until now I hadn't even heard of it lol

    I don't know, I can be a little bit clumsy in general but not as much as I am reading dyspraxia would make you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    Left and right and compass signs I have trouble with. Directions in general, actually.

    I also can't waggle my ears.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,070 ✭✭✭LadyMacBeth_


    I can't drive. I can't rollerblade or skate. I have difficulty telling my left from my right when giving directions, I have to think about it for a second and still get it wrong sometimes.

    I am also not good at being a human.

    I do, however, give excellent head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭Doctor Nick


    I can't whistle. Can't drive either. And I'm colour blind as well. I wonder if I'll qualify for disability allowance.


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I can't bike either OP. When I was much younger I loved nothing more than heading off for a cycle. It's not true when people say you never forget to ride a bike. These days I wouldn't last two minutes on one.

    I can't manage sums. Any kind of mathematical conundrum leaves me baffled. Or you know when someone is giving you say €50 and the fee is 20 but you only have a tenner in change. It turns out that the person also has a few tenners and they try figure it out with their tenners and your 20. Or something. Haven't a notion. Basically anything money and change related.

    Gym. People often talk about how great they feel after a workout or a run. It clears the head and de-stresses. I've never experienced that.

    Light more than one candle using the one match. Some weird fire paranoia.

    I can't wear high heels. I just can't. There is no way I would be able to walk straight and not fall over.

    That's it for now :)

    Oh I forgot about left and right! If I'm looking at a photo I sometimes don't know which person is on the left and which is on the right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,704 ✭✭✭Schwiiing


    Logical thought.

    Planning out how to perform simple tasks.

    I can't drive either and I'm a typical woman when it comes to giving directions! I actually hate getting stopped by passing cars looking to know where somewhere is. I do be delighted with myself when it's somewhere only up the road or round the corner they're looking for. Throw in a few roundabouts and traffic lights and they'd be sorry they asked me!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    I can't whistle.

    either can i and its really frustrating:(

    esp when you want to wolf whistle at some hot babe that walks down the street and you end up doing this half hearted effort that sounds all wrong and makes you look like a twat :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Maths. I am shocking. I just don't get it. It's like that part of my brain isn't open for business. I don't know any times tables and I still count on my fingers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 355 ✭✭rachaelf750


    I can't sit in a vehicle and not wear a seatbelt (not that I'd want to) feels weird !!
    I can't write the & sign properly, I do it backways.
    I can't kick a football with me right foot (I'm righthanded)
    I can't eat my dinner off a cold plate. (Has to be heated first)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,471 ✭✭✭7 Seconds...


    I can't swim or rollerblade and I am sure there is many more things, I can just about cycle but would completely lose my nerve going down hill, I have this fear of going head first over the handle bars.


  • Registered Users Posts: 350 ✭✭skylight1987


    I cant click my fingers when I try nothing happens, no noise at all but a few previous posters said they cant either so im not alone .:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 498 ✭✭daisy123

    Are you left handed


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    I can't snap my fingers. It's a nuisance when you want to order people around.

    Or when you want to impersonate black girls.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭somefeen


    Tie up a bin bag.

    Im good with knots and rope but I have no concept as to how tie up a bag.

    And dealing information that has lots of numbers. Last job I had was like this

    Boss; " put 2 bags of 4.5 in number 3, 1 bag of 3 into number 1 and put 15kg onto 21"

    Me: *blank look

    Boss: "Oh 15kg is about 2/3 of a bag"

    Me:"Oh.... right"

    Me: *proceeds to **** up*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭Greybottle


    I can't click my fingers on my right hand after an accident some years back

    I can't cross my fingers, never could.

    Can't make that clicking noise to attract a dog.

    Can't blow bubbles out of those little bubble cans you get.

    Can't saw wood straight, can barely cut a straight line with scissors if it's marked out in advance.

    Can't hammer nails, takes me ages and I'm always bending them.

    I'm also a very poor parallel parker even though most people say I'm a good driver. I can reverse a truck through a gap that's 4cm wider than it though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,821 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I can't swim.
    I don't understand fractions and percentages.
    I can't whistle.
    I can't belch purposely.
    I can't cook a soft boiled egg.
    I can't get mascara to look as good on my right eye even though the lashes on that eye are just as long as the left.
    I can't open my eyes underwater. Which is just as well as, like I said, I can't swim.


  • Registered Users Posts: 912 ✭✭✭chakotha


    I can't use in-ear headphones. The right one keeps falling out.

    And I can't do that figure four leg cross that looks so easy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭con___manx1


    Im brutal with directions and i love travelling so have got lost in alot of citys : )
    Im useless at doing basic maths in my head. I have to do it in work sometimes.

    I'm sad for you reading that. You need to get to a gym. Or even run. Your body releases endorphins when you exercise. I went through a tough time a few years ago. Listening to music and going to the gym saved me. Literally.

    I can't wear high heels. I just can't. There is no way I would be able to walk straight and not fall over.
    Lol. Get your a55 to the gym, build up the muscles in you legs, improve your balance and high heels will be no bother to you.
