What ridiculously common thing can't you do.

I have issues when it comes to walking without falling all over my self.

On that note, I can't hold a pencil "correctly" either. As you can probably guess, my writing looks like shit. And when I hold it the right way, it looks even worse.
 
Push-ups. Maybe I can do a few but not like 15 or 20 or even 10. And I can't do that thing (I think it's a type of "stretching") where you're standing and then you bend over and touch your ankles or toes without bending your knees. I don't even come close. Stuff like that was one of the reasons I quit karate... I hated all the calesthenics and stretching... especially when it was stuff that I couldn't do. Also I have never experienced "ripping a muscle" or anything from not stretching... maybe it only happens to old people.
 
I never learned how to ride a bike or rollerskate (the latter of which was a much bigger deal when I was in elementary school in the late '90s than it is now).

I also never got my driver's license. I took some classes but never got even a permit.
And I was almost there, too! Really dumb of me. :spin:
Totally making that a priority this summer before I go off to grad school.

Protip with the r-rolling thing: You can make it sound like you're rolling your r's by saying "td" (like, hard "t" sound and then hard "d" sound) really fast. Learned this from my choir teacher a couple of years ago. Enough of it eventually caused me to figure out how to actually roll my r's, so there you go!

Also I can't draw a straight line either. And while I can swim and tie my shoes, I learned those several years after everyone else did, lol.
 
I can't whistle, do cartwheels or handstands...I used to be able to do handstands but then I kinda lost it...
 
I can't swim, nor tell time very well (I mean, at the moment it's '19:14', and It takes me a bit to work out what time it is. Plus when people say "It's quarter past [insert time here]" I usually get confused for a bit) but I'm getting better at that. and I can't hold a pen/pencil correctly.
 
I usually get confused with my lefts and rights. I don't know them right off the bat. I have to do this trick where I look at both of my hands, and stretch the index finger and thumb out, and whatever one makes an L is the left side.

I also can't whistle, I've been told how to, but it always just comes out as air. I also get confused for a sec when people say it's a quarter past or half past or whatever when they talk about time.

I am relieved to hear someone else say this. I thought it was just me. -_-
 
I can't whistle or snap my fingers, I fail at both.
But I make up for it cause I have an awesome eye tricks and tongue :D

I can touch tip of nose with my tongue and roll my eyes black naturally at will.
 
Neither can I, I tried whistling but it's just air. And clicking/snapping fingers together, I mean I can sort of hear a click but it's not an actual click, it's just the sound of my fingers touching each other, but no actual click sound.

I get confused too when people say quarter past. For god sake what is wrong with just saying 9:40 or 10:45, what is the purpose of knowing what quarter past means either besides annoying us.

I get confused with Left and Right too, I am learning to drive so that's not a good thing, lucky I use the indicator arrows to tell me where left and right is.
