Default Simple things you cannot do

I ripped this idea off another site. Basically you list simple things that for some reason you are incapable of doing. For example I cannot whistle even if my life depended on it.

I have a hard time spelling simple words. Seriously, I've always scored low in spelling. In elementary school I was disqualified in the spelling bee in the 1st round for spelling bowl as b-o-l-e.

I cannot make a respectable sound when I snap my fingers.

I have an impeccable sense of direction, but I always get lost because I can never remember the layout of the roadways.

I'm not afraid of needles, but I can't have my eyes or teeth examined without feeling like I'm going to pass out. Nor can I watch this happening to someone else.

I can't throw a football in a spiral.

I have a hard time looking someone in the eye when I shake their hand.

At work I can't ever remember the name of the person calling me, so I have to make something up in the comm logs.

I can't open capri suns without destroying the straw.

I have no problem taking shots, but I am very afraid of having my blood taken.

I can't break 80. Hopefully that will change this year...

I can't chew mint gum without sneezing once, usually twice.

I have very good hand eye coordination and athleticism, but I wouldn't be able to juggle for all the money in the world.

I can't raise one eyebrow. I can only do both at once.

Hmm...
Simple Things I Cannot Do

Remember someone's name 2 seconds after they've told me

Go a week without a venti latte from starbuck's

Follow a recipe without making any of my own modifications

Drink any kind of beer (because I'm allergic)

Ride a bicycle



But.....imagine all the things I most certainly can do.

I simply cannot think of anything to put here.

^I guess that works.

I can do pretty much all of the aforementioned.

You also couldn't pass through our hallowed halls without being instantly linked as a mysterious connection to Neo.

Naw, hes probably allergic to yeast or something. I know someone that claimed to be allergic to something like that, she couldnt eat bread and a whole bunch of stuff like that.

As for me, I cant touch my eyes, and I get really freaked out at the eye doctor when they have to look in my eye. A long time ago I tried contacts, and nearly passed out trying to put them in. And thats all I can think of at the momment.

I can't whistle without spending about 20 minutes trying to get it and then I can't continue it.

I can't pronounce words that end with -sks.

I can't eat guacamole without throwing up.

My dear Gamemaster, aren't you the one with loads of time on your hands to concern yourself more than anyone else with myself or Neo? Since that is the case, the obviously solution to the problem is to get a life outside a pc. You also may want to consider adding to your list of Simple things you cannot do: "Can't go posting without replying to BlackLotus about Neo because I have nothing better to do-GameMaster"

I can't stay still.
I can't sit down and focus on a sheet of paper for a long time (SAT, ACT..fogetta about it).
I can't sit in class without doodling all over something.
I can't look at Play-Doh without smelling it.
I can't whistle either, despite numerous attempts since I was a child :[
