Things you can't do

Raise one eyebrow. I would love to be able to but I can't.

I can't roll my tongue.

I can't ride a bike.

I can't wink with my right eye.

I can't whistle. I've had no end of people try to explain how, but I think it's one of those things which if you can do it, it's easy and impossible to explain, because you've never had to think about it.

My husband once bought me one of those keyrings which made a beeping sound when you whistled, as I kept losing my keys. However, it was worse than useless. I still kept losing my keys, but had to find my husband and get him to whistle for me before I could find them!

I can't lick my elbow

Or be on time for anything. Always 1-5 minutes late. And yet I still Hitch!

I can't blow my nose.

I can't stick Rizlas down. I seem to have toxic saliva and it falls apart before I've even taken the lighter to it.
I can't whistle using the fingers in mout method.

Re burping, I can make myself do it on demand but have no idea how. I kind of breathe in through my mouth until something in my throat moves then let it go ?

I can't drink tea of coffee, even trying makes me gag ?

Drinking ultra fizzy drinks like sprite usually do it for me, perhaps with an extra rub of the chest to get the bubbles going.

I can't (and I'd love to) whistle with my fingers, I think that would be great, then I could join in at concerts and gigs!

Can't make cakes. Just can't do it.

Could never climb a rope either.

I can, however, burp better than just about anyone. H is horrified.

I can't whistle with my fingers, I know it's very unlady like but I'd still love to be able to do it.

I can't run.

I can't write (with piping bag) icing onto cakes.

When I need to burp, I try things like leaning over and also rubbing my knuckles up and down on my chest. Maybe you were just born a proper laydee? Can you fart or are you a complete bubble of gas waiting to explode?

finally!!!! i cant burp either and no one believes me!!!!

I can't whistle a tune or whistle with fingers in mouth.

I can't sleep properly at the moment!!

Can't roll my tongue or my r's.

I'm fairly sure you can't do it better than me ?

Tell left from right without thinking about it.

I am another non-burper. What a kleek to be in...

Oooh - me too. I blame a teacher who taught me that you tell your left from your right by looking to see which wrist your watch was on. I wear my watch on my right wrist, so was constantly getting it wrong.

Can't whistle, I was taught by my dad years ago and managed it for a while but now I can't do it. My dad can whistle using all different fingers (iykwim).

also can't raise one eyebrow.

Twitch my nose, like Nicole Kidman in bewitched or was that a special effect? I didn't think it was.

ETA - I can't burp either.

And me. I am the one who sits in the car giving directions to the driver and shouting 'Go left' whilst pointing right.

I can't say "r" properly, or at least i couldn't. i have to take great care to prrrrrroperrrrly rrrrrroll them and have done since i was verrrrrrry young. i rrrrealised (ok i'll stop it now) that i couldn't roll my "r"s at a very young age because my there is one in my sister's name and she used to make fun of me mispronouncing her name.

i can't play the drums. i really, really wanted to when i was young but had a complete mental block when confronted with rhythm, sticks and hitting different drums with sticks and pedals at the same time.

i can't sing, but i don't really let that stop me.

could never climb a rope no matter how hard i tried to in gym at school.

(FYI - my sister can't roll her tongue but me, mater and pater all can. it's a genetic thing.)

I can't tie a bow ? and I can't iron, never have.

I can't dance when I'm sober. Give me a few glasses of wine and I am a Pussycat Doll, but stone cold sober it just doesn't seem to work.

I can't tie a bow in the conventional way. I have to do it by making two loops then crossing and passing one under the other.

I can't ...

wolf-whistle. Or roll my Rs, much to the frustration of my Spanish teacher, and the MD of our choir ....

Nor can I say 'pilau rice' without feeling as I've a sponge in my mouth. The words never come out how they're meant to.

I can't burp on demand but can't say that I feel it's held me back in life!

I can't tell left and right instinctively either. I can't raise just one eyebrow but Mr G can and I'm very jealous.

Whistling with fingers is easy though ?

I can't stop flipping coughing.

I can't click my fingers either, people have tried to teach me but I don't get it. I can't blow my nose either.

I can't click my fingers either. I know, in theory, how to but it just doesn't seem to work. I also can't whistle. Both inadequecies are minor yet strangely annoying!

I can't keep a hoop going round my waist (sorry don't know what it's called) have tried and tried and seen other girls do it with ease.

Catch. Total butterfingers.

Also useless at art. A teacher told my parents I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler. ?

And another member of the non-finger whistling group.

DIY eludes me too

Me three! I had to write R and L on my hands for my driving test and then spent the majority of the test trying to get the instructer to look anywhere but my hands. ?

I had to do that! I actually turned the wrong way out of the test centre once - then had to explain to the examiner that I have trouble telling left from right. The big 'L' on the back of my left hand also helped with my explanation ?. Because I'd done everything correctly with regards to signalling and looking for traffic etc, it didn't affect my test and I still passed - he just had to use a different test route than he'd planned.

I can't remember east from west. Ever. The only way I can finally get there is by very laboriously deducing that Wales in the west (and that's by the fact that Wales and West begin with the same letter).

I can't whistle, I can't lift my left eyebrow by itself (but can my right), and I can't do that thing where you put a blade of grass between your hands, blow on it and make a pretty toon.
