I am really bad at dating and figuring out how girls think. My friends seem to be able to do it just fine. I guess years and years of gaming will do that to you. I am trying to improve now. I also can't dance and I can't sing or play the guitar.
Common skills you can't do.

I can speak english perfectly except some words sometimes randomly come out as stuttered nonsense and I have to stop and wait a second.
It's weird because it only came up recently, when I started speaking MORE english.

I can't drive or ride a bike, which in my area has probably saved my life at least 5 times in the long run. I call the evening news "this is how many people died in a hit and run today" because there honestly hasn't been even one day in as long as I can remember where there hasn't been one.
If you live in in the Portland, Oregon area and you leave the house in anything other than full body armor you are rolling the dice. Also if you happen to be playing in your own front lawn or inside a shop or anywhere a car can physically reach you it will find a way to get you.

I can't tie shoelaces.

THERE, WORLD, I SAID IT.
I just try to pull my laces as tightly as I can then tuck them under my feet in my shoes, it usually works.

Yep, I have this same problem. My gag reflex is very sensitive. Also made it real interesting when the doctor was trying to check if my tonsillitis had developed an abscess in my throat or not...chattycathy said:
My printing is probably more readable, but it looks much worse than my cursive. I also find it much, much slower.ArkhamJester said:

Like a lot of the others here, I can't sing (I seem to be tone deaf) or dance. Generally I'm pretty musically inept (although I greatly enjoy music). I struggle to hold a beat, let alone a rhythm. With dancing, it's very frustrating when people tell me to 'just feel the music and let your body do what it wants to do'. Guess what? All my body wants to do is stand still, or tap a foot/bob a head at best.
I will concede however that I could learn to sing or dance with a very large amount of effort - my girlfriend is in a similar position to me in terms of singing, and she's taken up singing lessons. I think she's now got good control over her voice, so she can hit notes, but she finds it hard to tell what notes to hit. One of her anecdotes is her music teacher playing the first few notes in a scale and then asking her what the next note should be, to which she has no idea. This frustrates her music teacher immensely.
Despite generally being at least somewhat acrobatic (mostly rolls and the like), I cannot do cartwheels. This actually seems to be a physical problem - because of the shape of my ribcage, I find it difficult to bend sideways very much, which seems like an essential part of a cartwheel. In fact this problem extends further than this - no matter how long and hard I try, I cannot seem to do a lot of the same stretches that my training partners can. The same extends to developing muscle endurance (though strength itself doesn't seem to be a huge issue).
EDIT: Oh, something else I apparently seem incapable of is making short posts!
Snap my fingers. Not happenin'.
Apparently I'm not alone. This is comforting.
Also peeling oranges with my bare hands. I always need to score the peel with a knife first. (I'm a nail biter)

I cant skate, always hated it in school
Cant think of anything else, except using a motorcycle gear

I can't snap my fingers and I can't whistle. It sucks because I've been trying all my life and I just fail.
-Can't dance
-Can't comb my hair properly
-Can't blow bubblegum into a balloon
-Can't cut a deck of cards the fancy way
-Can't whistle. Well I can but I can't do the "put your two fingers and whistle" thing

I can't snap my fingers, I can't whistle, My handwriting is awful and I never learned to drive.
I can?t
-swim (gave up)
-ride a bike (dad gave up teaching sister & I)
-swallow pills (must suffer water-dissolved anti-depressants before washing out aftertaste with apple juice)
-smoke without hacking up a load of spit (rarely do it, but I?ve still done it more than once, yet haven?t ?surpassed the wall?)
-whistle (except by accident)
-pin on badges (part of the reason why I?ve never bought a Poppy, aside from not having any kind of national pride or emotional connection towards WWI vets)
-pick up babies, cats and dogs (without looking like a fucking retard)
-like the taste of most alcohol (cider is strongest I can tolerate)
-revise (I just procrastinate too much)
-do pull-ups

Place the pill (one at a time if needing to take more than one) onto the very back of your tongue, then take a swig of water and immediately swallow. The expansion of the esophagus as you swallow will allow the pill to pass down without you even noticing, because the pill is at the back of your mouth already your tongue doesn't automatically come up to block it and it'll go down with the water as you swallow.Elfgore said:

Speak a second language, most of the world is bilingual more or less, I can only really speak english.
Well I just joined in order to send this post.
I can't whistle. (Tried a lot when I was younger, then I gave up.)
I can't blow a bubble with gum. (When I was younger I managed to blow but while I am holding the gum out of my mouth and stretching with my fingers! [yuck] Now I don't do such things.)
I am very bad at all sports played with a ball. So I don't play any of them.
I can't roll my tongue. (It's not so rare I guess.)

I don't remember writing this...oh right its not me...it just pretty much sums me up too. I've lived in the same building with this one bloke whose name was said to me when I moved in, which I totally forgot immediately and have been too embaressed to mention it. I only found it out on Monday that it was Gary.Ashadowpie said:
