What common thing can't you do?

Postby ShaneOfan » Jun 09, '14, 11:49 am

Face it while common not all of us can ride a bike, or can swim, use fucking google? Actually here is a list of fifty http://www.marcandangel.com/2008/06/02/ ... how-to-do/.

I can't swim well. I can basically not drown. And I cant drive stick.

I can click my left fingers, but not my right. That's sort of bizarre.

I learned to drive, but I only got my provisional license, not my full one. And I haven't driven at all in 7 years. So that probably counts as mine.

I don't drive stick. I just never felt the need to learn how when there are plenty of automatic cars around.
I can't change my own tire. That's what AAA is for.
I can't swim at all. That's my #1
I can't use a compass and can barely read a map.

I know some Spanish, but drop me in Spain and I would be pretty lost.
I'm not good at parallel parking, but I can find a parking space to get into.
I'm not fantastic at remembering names, but I do OK.
I'm not fantastic at CPR. I could probably hold down the basics though for a couple minutes.
In this day and age how can someone not build a fire? Sticks, newspaper, lighter - job done.

I can't drive or ride a bike. Luckily, neither of these come up that much in Dublin.

I also only speak one language, despite having been taught four to varying degrees.

I can't swim. (Learning to swim at school, I was the dude with the armbands to make sure I didn't drop to the bottom of the swimming pool)
I can drive but don't like to due to anxiety.
I can't work out mathematical equations in my head. It's woeful full stop.

The "Live long and prosper" hand gesture. Cannot do it, been trying for like 15 years now and no progress made what so ever. Might explain why I'm ill and poor

Man I always think you can't get more weird and then you say something else :lol

The image of Viazon and his equally odd mates all sat outside the supermarket eating chicken together in the car is too much :lol

Yeah, I don't drive stick either. I also can't roll my tongue in half like so many other people seem to be able to do. Everyone in my family but me can do it... damn them.

Use rubber bands. I heard Zachary "New Spock" Quintaro learned that way.
