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

I had several attempts at driving lessons but I never learned to drive a car. I just found it too many things to concentrate on at the same time. I used to have a panic attack after every lesson. So I came to the conclusion that I would never be able to drive safely. I despise multi tasking.

Crochet! I love knitting and I’m fairly good at it, but no matter how hard I try I just can’t master crochet! I’ve got books, looked at countless you tube clips and I had all the equipment as a present, but it just come out as a tangled mess. Think my hands still want to knit!

Click my fingers! Just can’t do it.

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 !

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

Find an empty car park with marked bays (evenings are best for offices) and practice reversing into the bay between the lines.

I can’t understand Roman numbers, never have and still can’t

Swim, I have tried 3 times to learn, I cant do it, I sink.

LisaAn, I can't finger-whistle either! As a hockey mom, and now lacross and soccer gran, it should be a standard skill.

I've been doing yoga for years. but cannot so far master crow pose. I'm not giving up, though.

And sing in tune. I'm awful. You don't want me around your birthday cake!

I can’t remember bird songs, I can hear the different sounds but is it a robin, blackbird, meadow pipit? I have no idea however often my OH tells me - can manage the cuckoo!

Knit. I try and try. I have needles and approximately thirty seven years ago I managed a small jumper for my son. He wore it and then asked if he could have a real one like the other children wore, he was five. Nowadays I still have ago and it’s worse than it was then.

I can't knit or sing. I'm not bothered about the knitting as I'm allergic to wool but I would love to sing. My mother had the most wonderful voice. I, on the other hand, have the worst imaginable.

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

Been there! This really made me laugh eddiecat78!
🤣

Haha! Love this comment dogsmother!

Spuddy I use a herb chopper with a handle at each end to cut pizza. Works brilliantly.

Snap to all yours Urmstongran, except the times tables, I'm okay with those 🙂

Clever clogs! 🤣

My family seem to be impressed by my skill of getting stains out of washing (they all know to ask nan when they have stained something 😁) and apparently I'm good at hoovering 😂

Reverse into driveway from the right. Can do it from the left, no problem.

I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler nor cut a straight line with a guillotine or straight edge. The paper is always a bit wonky or I go off piste! So many ruined bits of paper or fabric!

Unscrew anything tight, even not that tight.

Knit, sew or crochet - I'm hopeless at anything like that. My mother tried numerous times to teach me to knit and eventually gave up in disgust. Even at school, I remember our class being taught how to knit a simple square - every one else had finished theirs and I hadn't even managed to cast on yet!
Oh, and dancing - I an hopelessly uncoordinated when it comes to dancing and so self-conscious that I just can't bring myself to even try.

I also can only drive an automatic car, not a manual. Most cars here are automatic and I just never learnt to drive manuals. I don’t like driving but you have to here, public transport isn’t good.

I can't fold fitted (elastic) bed sheets.

I can't wink.

I'm with those who can't draw straight lines. Also. I'm have 12 yards* of fabric that I should have made into curtains for the dining room months ago but I'm sure they'll turn out terrible because I can't sew in a straight line.

That's if I even get the measuring up right. Whenever I measure something I can get three different results and then DH or someone else measures and gets yet another length.

* Sorry, metres.

Thanks, Cossy! HA HA HA! That's me!

I can swim a bit, but I'm not very good at it - but I cannot float. I also sink. Everyone I know says it's so easy to float, but I float like a cannonball (cue for a song there!)
