Things you can't do, that most people can

**Timbuk2**

I can't wink... not even close.

I also can't raise one eyebrow above the other... maybe the two are related?

What about you? Is there anything you can't do, that most people are able to do?

My boyfriend can wink with both eyes and thinks it's strange that I cannot. I can wink the right one but I just end up blinking with both when I try to wink the left one.

I'm the same for both of these. People always comment on the knife thing too.

I can't lie

Do one of those piercing gurrier whistles with two fingers in my mouth.

It was a source of massive anguish and shame in my youth.

I'm the same with the knife. I don't see why people would use a fork in their left hand? It's not a natural thing to raise food to my mouth with my left! I would probably stab myself!

I can't for the life of me use a skipping rope or a Hula hoop, thankfully I am male so don't have to!

Captain Chaos

I can't see 3D movies properly because of my heavy left eye dominance. The 3D effect is completely lost on me.

Donkey Oaty

Believe it is butter.

Call Me Jimmy

I can't have babies.

I can move my ears. They also react to sounds in the same way dog's ears do.

barakus

I cant bowl at all.

I mean cannot get one fcukin pin down:mad:

Once stormed out of a bowling alley in sheer frustrated rage leaving the GF standing there wondering what the hell was going on:(

I can't use a scissors with my left hand. Have to use a nail clippers for the nails on my right hand, because my left is so useless. Can't even cut paper properly if I use my left hand and I have no idea why!!

Hard luck mate. You can't always get what you want, I guess.

IvySlayer

I can't tie my shoelaces.

OxfordComma

I can't click my fingers with my left hand, even though I can do it with my right.

Malice

I'm left-handed so I have problems with fountain pens (in fact writing in general ) and scissors.

I can't believe it's not butter

Thats funny I couldn't do those things either for a long time, until I got married.
Now thats all I seem to be doing, jumping through hula hoops and skipping over ropes. I suppose it's the woman you end up marrying....

I can't tell left from right straight away, have to think about it.

Oh I'm terrible at the alphabet. If somebody asked me 'What letter is after Q?' I'd have to start the rhyme from the beginning!

Same with me and one of my aunties. Sorry but a knife in my left hand doesn't feel right. It's as if I have no control over it.

Same here.

I can't roll my tongue, I can't click my fingers on my left hand, can't whistle, can't cross my eyes, can't do a head over heels tumble thing (freaks me out to go HEAD FIRST at the ground)....I'm sure there are many more....

Developing epilepsy would solve a lot of these things for you?

Ha Ha, that's hilarious! I can just imagine a person's ears pricking up really high everytime there's a knock at the door.:D

I too am right handed, but use my knife in left hand and my fork in my right, there's already been a few here the same so it's not as odd as I was made believe.

I can't raise one eyebrow at a time.

I can't do this hand jesture that spock did.

I can't either which is a pain as I'm left handed. It might be the way the scissors is designed?

here we go

Handed' scissors



left-handed (left) and right-handed (right) scissors
Most scissors are best suited to use with the right hand, but left-handed scissors are designed for use by the left. Because scissors have overlapping blades, they are not symmetric. This asymmetry is true regardless of the orientation and shape of the handles: the blade that is on top always forms the same diagonal regardless of orientation. Human hands are also asymmetric, and when closing, the thumb and fingers do not close vertically, but have a lateral component to the motion.

Back on topic: I can't whistle, except make a sort of pressure cooker sound in one ear-splitting pitch. I've been shown and described and practiced endlessly, I just can't whistle

pearliefan

I can't whistle!! I whistled once, when I was six and never again

vicecreamsundae

drive
swim
tumble/cartwheel
open things with my teeth [like freezepops]

the star trek hand thing.
