Things You Can't Do No Matter How Much You Try!

I’m right handed (my mother would describe me as “cack-handed). I cannot paint without splashing paint everywhere with a brush or roller, I cannot hang wallpaper and I don’t appear to be able to cut anything in a straight line!

I am right-handed and I thought most people were 🤔

Ditto the pizza problem but I have found that with a very sharp, heavy bladed knife I can do it easily. Blame the tools, not yourself ! 😅

I cannot for the life of me draw anything that looks remotely like what it’s supposed to be. At least not anything living - I could occasionally manage a just-about-passable simple still life in art classes at school.

My son bought be Pizza Scissors for Xmas....excellent gadget, they even have a little guide attached!

I can’t sit on the floor, legs crossed then stand up without using my hands. The children think it’s great fun, but I want to tell them “use it or lose it”.

I saw some "pizza scissons" advertised the other day, they look perfect. i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GTgAAOSwGVFcB5mT/s-l1600.webp

Sorry about the typo!

I can’t back into a parking spot. I drive around until I find a slot. The only time I did it was more than 50 years ago when I took my driving test. I hasten to say I have never had an accident !

I can't do a cartwheel. Can't do a handstand or headstand either. For a couple of years Hubby and I have suspected I have ADHD, and I recently learned that a number of people who have ADHD also have dyspraxia - issues with gross and fine motor skills. Research has demonstrated that there are fewer neural connections in the cerebellum in people who have ADHD as compared to neurotypical people, and the cerebellum is the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination.

Draw.

I am very unco-ordinated and hopeless at reverse parking- I never did learn which way the wheels turn!

I use ordinary strong kitchen scissors to cut pizza as I have limited room in my drawers (😉) for gadgets!

I can’t read a map unless I turn it the way I’m going which drives Mr PG mad 😡 - I can read upside down though which means I always make the right calls as navigator (and that makes him madder still 🤬!

Draw
Sew - I can knit but don’t enjoy it.
Ride a bicycle with any degree of confidence.
Throw a ball in a direction I want it to land.
Sing in tune
Play an instrument
Do a sit up
Use eyelash curlers
Drive on motorways
Eat 5 a day fruit/veg (some days none, others only 2)
Speak a foreign language.
Eat shellfish - ugh! Just no.
Recognise birds or trees apart from some obvious ones
Believe in an afterlife, sadly.
Have a faith.

Hang wallpaper.
Change a wheel on a car.
Recite all the times tables - I get a bit stuck on the 7’s and 8’s!

Scissors are very underrated!

There are many things I can’t do, but mostly I would love to be able to sing. Not beautifully, just in tune.

I’m another one who can’t draw, and I would love to be able to. I really mind.

I can’t ride a bike, but I don’t want to. Same applies to swimming. My parents gave me the chance to learn both, but I just said “No, thank you”.

I have always used kitchen scissors for pizza. It's easy. I can't wrap Christmas/birthday presents up without them looking like a dog's hind leg.

Me too! The problem is how do you get to practice without the risk of damaging yours or someone else’s car!

Anything maths or number related. Maths at school was a nightmare. I did an informal test online and it seems I have discalculia.
I have to slowly study timetables, calendars etc to make sure I have things right.

That should be dyscalculia

I can't open and "start" pump dispensers.

Can't drive, or sing.

I can‘t whistle on my fingers. Heaven knows I’ve tried

When dishing out a meal for more than just the 2 of us I can't remember whose plate is whose!
