    Inspired from the I can't change a plug thread.

    I can't change a plug, i wouldn't even know what wires to cut.
    I'm pretty useless at all things DIY
    I can't whistle
    I can't click my fingers
    I can change a tyre but wouldn't be too confident doing it

    So AH, what can't you do?

    Burp. I don't think I have ever deliberately burped in my life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭LighterGuy


    - I cant whistle too.
    - Although I can tie my shoe laces people say I have a funny way of doing so. Dare I be honest, people have often said "you dont know how to tie your own shoe laces, do you?" :pac: Dont care. My way works fine :pac:

    Its kinda funny cause at the same time I can do things other people cant. Esecially when it comes to DIY.

    Talk quietly.

    Talk quietly.

    I'll second that, I am desperate at whispering.

    Im another person who can't whistle. I had an embarrassing experience because of it at a dog obedience class. The instructor kept telling me to whistle to get the dog's attention, so after a few pathetic attempts I had to shamefully admit in front of everyone that I wasn't able to.

    I cant understand why Jack Black keeps getting work. I just cant.


    I also cant study. Not at all. I can sit down and do practice tests or something, but if you give me notes and tell me to read them, I just cant. At best I'll read all the words, but take nothing in.

    Y'know, changing a tire is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman:
    First, you crank 'er up, then you take off the rubber and screw your nuts off!
    (I honestly just came up with that right now, I'm so impressed with myself! :P )

    Well, I was going to make a "playing snooker is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman" joke, but then the images of shit and blood kinda put me off. Sleep tight everyone! :pac:

    I also can't whistle and I also have my own weird unique lace-tying technique. I can't do that live long and prosper hand sign either.

    I can't quote correctly or as H.G. Wells said

    Can't open bottles with a lighter, can do it with the edge of a table and occasionally get it with the lighter but not anywhere near consistently.

    That thing where you flick underneath your mouth and it makes a noise like a tap dripping.

    Can't swim. Everyone I know is able to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,037 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Those stupid Magic Eye 3D pictures. Whilst everyone oohs and ahhs at the dolphins or whatever, I'm stuck crosseyed looking at a badly painted picture.
