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 can do pretty much all of the aforementioned.

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.

I have a reaction to chocolate (only certain kinds, I cant nail what ingredient it is) and Bacon Bits. Usually a sneeze or 2. Dont think im allergic but something to that effect.

I have to multitask usually. Either talking to someone online and playing a game or looking at sites, etc...

I couldnt do any physical sport if my life depended on it. Never was good at football, baseball, soccer, etc...just not my thing.

-I can't whistle.
-I can't remember names (I did the same thing as Neo when had an office job.)
-I can't snap with my left hand.
-I can't look people in the eyes...what's up with that?
-I can't cuddle a cute widdle kitty...without almost dying afterwards from lack of oxygen.
-I can't throw up. In my 21 years I have never once vomitted. Feels like I'm missing out on something. So if I get drunk it's just that much worse of a hangover. But I really don't like to drink so hasn't been much of a problem.
-I can't tolerate to be in the same room as a banana.
-I can't pronounce "variety" without thinking about it really hard beforehand.
-I can tolerate almost every pain imagineable, view horrible videos and photos of multilations and such, even physicaly handle and slice organs that were in a person's body not 5 minutes before (cancerous breasts, tongues, jaws, stomachs, hearts, etc.), but to hear someone describe something nasty in detail I almost pass out.
