Easy things you suck at doing

When I eat gum I can never figure out how to blow a bubble. Although I rarely eat gum.

Also lighting a pocket lighter.
 
I can't make pancakes to save my life.

Two words: Krusteaz Mix.

All you have to do is add water and have some butter on hand for the skillet.

These pancakes are practically fool-proof, and very tasty.


I've never heard of it! Will have to look for it next time i am in the stupormarket.

And like a few of you mentioned, i also cannot swim. I can tread water for about 30 seconds and then it's right down to Davy Jones' locker for me. I be swimmin' with the fishes!
 
All of those of you who find it difficult to swim because you sink too easily, spare a thought for mr trampledamage who naturally floats and was learning scuba diving. One of the first things they do is get you used to being underwater, so they say "okay, let yourself sink"

*pause*

"I'm not going anywhere" says mr trampledamage.

He managed it in the end with the addition of a weight belt. :)
 
As I said once before, in the event of an emergency landing, my love handles can be used as a flotation device. :(
 
Maybe we should build a bridge out of 'em!

Easy thing that I suck at doing?

Paris Hilton.

Mainly because I've never had the chance.
 
I don't understand how it's possible to taste if you can't smell. Why does this happen when you get a cold, but not in situations like PK described? :confused:

It's possible she just tastes things differently. I have certainly never lost my sense of taste when I have gotten sick; foods just taste slightly wrong.

That makes sense. And I have no idea if what I am tasting is 'slightly wrong' because I have no point of reference for what is the 'right' taste.

Anyway....yeah, I can taste. But who knows if what I taste is what everyone else is tasting?
 
Interesting list so far! I suppose "riding a bike" is rather subjective to it's ease-of-doing, but I never learned... I'm an adult that can't ride a bicycle. :-(
 
My dad, who was paralyzed on his left side, could tie his shoes with one hand. My son, 11, still can't seem to figure it out.
