I might have done a post like this before but I can’t remember so I’m doing it again and maybe one day I’ll go back through all my posts and delete duplicates because I really need to clean up this little blog space of mine.
And now, for your reading pleasure, here’s a list of things I can’t do:
Whistle. Also, the sound of whistling makes me crazy. #auralassault #itmightbejealousy
Snap my fingers. It’s even more embarrassing when I meet a child who can and shows me up. #noonelikesashowoff
Drink wine. I could at one point. Then there was an incident. It involved a Home Depot bucket, barfing on my neighbor’s lawn (sorry, Dave and Krista), and passing out in a bar’s bathroom. #didnthappeninmytwenties
Cook a pie from scratch. And I have tried. The expression “easy as pie”? All lies. #storeboughtisfinesometimes
Understand more than 6 consecutive words in any Beastie Boys song released after 1990. I usually don’t have a problem understanding song lyrics. Their songs mystify me. #butisingalonganyway
Fall asleep without reading at least 10 pages of a book. My day doesn’t feel complete unless I’ve read at least a few pages and not reading makes it even more difficult to sleep. #readingisfundamental
Go a day without quoting a movie. #itsaproblem
Do a smoky eye, curl my hair properly, or use bronzer. This is why I look pale and tragic, my hair is always a mess, and I have worn my eye shadow the same way since roughly 1992. #butthebigbangsaregone
Use modern day slang and sound acceptable when I do it. #toooldtocare
Reach things in high places. #shortpeopleproblems
Run or jump. #bigboobproblems
Not get excited about my birthday. It’s next Friday and I’m already planning all the free things I’m going to get. #freeforthewin
Now that you know some of my limitations, tell me some of yours. What can’t you do?
Linking up for #hashtaghumpday
Hahahaha – Beastie Boys – YES!!!!
And – I swear, I try so hard to learn how to style my hair, and it just always falls flat – LITERALLY.

My hair cannot hold curls at all. It’s so thick and heavy, it doesn’t stand a chance.
That was priceless! It’s nice to know there are others out there with similar issues to mine. Thank you! 🙂

I love this list and relate to so many things on it! Like eye shadow and curling my hair. I suck at both. I also can’t jump because of the same issue as you ;). I can’t make a pie and it’s my husband’s favorite dessert. I’ve tried about ten times. It’s store bought from here on out.
Christina recently posted…’90s Drinks
There is nothing wrong with store bought! I can make the filling but it’s premade crusts for me.
My hair is an outrageous curly mess naturally but sometimes I like to straighten it and then do nice looking curls. I really should just leave it as a mess.
haha love this! i can’t whistle either, and it annoys me so much when people do, it’s such an annoying sound. it’s like singing aloud, and if you wouldn’t sing out loud in an office, you shouldn’t whistle either (not that i have a coworker that does this ALL DAY or anything).
i can reach all the high things. #tallpeopleproblems.
Kristen recently posted…(practice) packing for Europe: 25 items = 50+ outfits
Out loud whistling in public makes me nuts. NUTS.
Thankfully my husband is tall so he can get all the high things. My daughter is tall, too. She is amused that one day she will be taller than me.
I sat here attempting to whistle and snap while reading this. The looks I got at the cafe (oops) that being said I can’t do either. I thought I could but I must’ve been lying to myself or it’s a selective talent.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That is spectacular!
Fun read and thought provoking, too! I avoid pies like the plague because the crust is so calorie laden. I have known calorie counts since I was around 10. I was not a skinny child. That justifies never making a pie, in my book! I do not run or jump, either for the same reason- unless my life depends on it.
I think I have more things I won’t do than can’t do that I should do!!
Stay cool! Love, SMD’s Momma
I have a whole list of things I won’t do, too!
It’s funny because I can whistle sometimes, but sometimes I can’t. Weird. I can’t hum all the time either because my sinuses vibrate too much or something. It gives me the chills. I can’t climb a rope. I remember being scarred as a child because most of the kids in gym class could. I thought maybe it was just because I was an un-athletic child, so I tried climbing the rope at my gym. Nope, still can’t do it. WTF? It’s seriously a goal of mine. I can also only do a cartwheel putting my left hand down first, but not the right hand. And I am so bad at math it’s not funny. Actually, it’s quite embarrassing. And my spelling has gone to shit with spellcheck.
Tonya@Budget and the Beach recently posted…Living an Exceptional Life
I can’t climb a robe or do the monkey bars. Never could. My upper arm strength is nonexistent.
I did a cartwheel last year to show Erica. I was dizzy and had to sit down for like an hour afterwards. I’m too old for that shit.
Actually cracking up over “pale and tragic” hahaha. I can’t whistle either! I also can’t not get irritated with someone who learns this about me and then goes, “It’s easy just go like this” and tries to show me how easy it is to whistle. Listen, I didn’t say I don’t know the mechanism or arrangement of lips that makes a whistle. My mouth just doesn’t do it. Step off.
RIGHT?! Like we’re dumbasses who can’t figure out what to do. No, I get it. My mouth just doesn’t work that way.
i dont own one palette of eye shadow or eye shadow brush! ain’t nobody got time for eyeshadow either!
HAHAHA! I have a big fat eye crayon I use most days now. But I’ll bust out a palette once and while. Which I own because I like that the colors are coordinated for you. I cannot coordinate makeup colors.
Freeeee birthday shit!
I can’t whistle either. MFD is a whistling fool. Like he constantly whistles.
Luckily your eye makeup is good. I’ve been wearing mind the same way for like 15 years and it’s not that good. LOLOL
I have a hard time with wine. I can have a glass. That’s it. I’m better off with beer.
SMD @ Life According to Steph recently posted…May Recommendations
Scott knows better than to whistle in my presence. I won’t punch strangers but my husband is fair game.
I am much better off with beer. Wine is a disaster.
I can whistle, but I hate when people do it unless you are calling a dog to come to you. FUCKING LOATHE IT. no one is that happy, stfu. ARGH!
I can’t even line the top of my eyelid with eye liner. I’m forever that girl who only has the bottom one lined.
#boobproblems #thestruggleisreal
I often quote Disney movies. It’s a thing.
Teh Megan recently posted…Confessions {5/27}
When I’m in a store or public in general and someone is whistling, I have to restrain myself from punching them in the face.
I can’t grill chicken on the stove top. It’s just something I’m not capable of. It burns on the outside and is bright pink on the inside. Actually, let me broaden this a bit…I CAN’T COOK.
Ali A recently posted…Featured on…xoJane!
Are you supposed to be able to grill chicken on a stove top? I know you can cook it but isn’t grilling for the barbecue? Am I missing something? Is there a new way of cooking I don’t know about??
Well, Jana, that’s probably why I cant do it. :::embarrassed:::

LOLOLOLOL. #noshame, my friend. #noshame
I also can’t stop reading a book until I get to the end of the chapter. Drives me BONKERS if someone interrupts me before I get to the end of the book or at least the chapter….. also. I read that as “fall asleep without reading the last 10 pages” apparently I just can’t read..
Kasey recently posted…Hashtag Winesday
I hate being interrupted in the middle of reading. A book is an automatic “do not disturb” sign.
I haven’t attempted to make a pie from scratch yet, it is terrifying to me for some reason?! And ummmm I so cant do my hair. I am a mess every day because I have two styles….flat and straight or pony tail. Sigh. Why does adulting have to be so hard sometimes?
I can’t tie properly. I learned the bunny ears method when I started kindergarten after many failed attempts of the over under around the tree bullshit that never quite stuck with me. Anyone who knew me as a young child watches in awe as I tie my shoes like a five year old. No shame.
Nadine recently posted…Confessions
BUNNY EARS!!! I totally meant to put that in my post but forgot. I can only tie my shoes with bunny ears. The other way is way too hard.
I am also short, so I cannot reach things in high places either.
I also can’t do a cartwheel.
Amber recently posted…Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday!
I can but it’s better that I don’t. Not even in water.
hahaha I was going to comment on something but then I got to #bigboobproblems and I can’t stop laughing and agreeing.
Stephanie recently posted…Confessing More Unpopular Opinions
The struggle is real.
“This is why I look pale and tragic” lmao!!
I can’t whistle worth a shit either, I’ll make your ears bleed. 😀

I can’t even make sounds when I try. I used to care but now, not so much.
Lol
Lindsay recently posted…This week is FLYING by… #letsbefriends blog hop
I am the same way with reading I have to read before bed or I have a hard time falling asleep. I totally think in movie quotes and send movie memes to my friends when they apply to the conversation. Can’t help it!
Kerry recently posted…Once Pure | Book Tour | Review
I think and speak in movie quotes. It’s a sickness.
In the unable to whistle club too. Or curl my tongue or roll my R’s. None of that. Feel like that exists on a chromosome I just don’t have.
Tried the whole curling hair and smoky eyeshadow once – total hot mess. Well, scratch the hot. Just mess. Sounds like my hair’s like yours – thick and heavy. The curl unravels itself within seconds. Just stick to the natural wavy-mess that it is!
Jaina recently posted…Film Review: Nightcrawler
Yes! Definite mess over here, too!
I can curl my tongue. Can’t roll my r’s. Good thing I never have a need to!
The rolling r’s thing caught me out in Spanish class at school – I just couldn’t do it!
