Easy things you suck at doing

[thestrangequark]

In elementary school I remember being given floaty scarves with which to attempt juggling and I could barely keep two of those in the air, let alone three.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Everyone else I know can juggle. I seem to be the only one with two right hands in my neighbourhood(s).

So, I'm guessing you must live in a really, really big tent?

With two right hands, it's more like a cage. I still have the bruises from each time the master of ceremonies pokes me with his stick and passes the hat round for coins.

 

[Too Much Fun]

I cannot...whistle. Have never been able to. I tell people and they show me how to do it, but it's just physically impossible for me. It took me awhile to learn how to blow up balloons and bubbles with gum too, but thankfully I figured those out.

 

[Ruaidhri]

Well. That sounds like a puckering problem!

 

[Neutral Zone]

I enjoy cooking and baking cakes, but I really suck at baking bread. My wife makes it look so easy.

 

[Phoenicianknight]

I have always sucked at riding a bike.

Don't know why.

I played football, basketball anD baseball. I did well in Army boot camp, and was even a life gaurd at the nearby pool when I was younger.

But I could never ride a bike worth a SHIT.

 

[RoJoHen]

Wow, I thought this thread was dead.

 

[Jetfire]

^
It should be.

 

[TheKeeper]

I suck at letting threads die.

I have absolutely no idea how to snap my fingers. I don't know the muscle movements you have to make. How do you hold your fingers? What do you do with them? I must have missed the memo...

Ring finger against the top of the pad of flesh at the base of thumb.

Middle finger TIGHT against edge of thumb towards index finger.

Position of index finger not real important. I usually hold it straight like I'm pointing at something.

Pull middle finger hard across the thumb and downwards against ring finger. The SNAP is produced by the inpact of the middle finger against the ring finger.

It might take a little practice

That's not how I do it. My middle finger snaps against the base of my thumb. Both hands. It's how we do it over here.

 

[FreddyE]

It's so frightening to me. Driving is so dangerous; I feel that I could die or end up killing another driver at any moment. If I had a lot of money, I'd hire a personal driver and never drive again!

I have no problem with driving itself...but I really really dread the Autobahn.....scares me to death...so I avoid it at all costs.

Iam the same i was well into my teens till i could blow bubbles with gum.
And i am still crap at blowing balloons.

I suck at keeping them going.

I tried to reproduce those movements but I came up with nothing.

 

[Lindley]

Sometimes it helps to lick the tip of the middle finger, to increase the friction you need to overcome against the tip of the thumb.

I've been on the autobahn - I'd be terrified to drive it too!

I could have so very easily not revived this not entirely old thread and started a new one, therefore I suck at not using the search function.

I can blow bubble gum bubbles but I can't do balloons - something weird happens to the roof of my mouth when I try and it bloody hurts.

Making bread is more chemistry than cooking - measurements have to be precise, but if you're good at baking you should be good at that part. Invest in a bread-maker, it does the rest of the hard work for you

I can't remember if I replied to this months ago. I too am a horrible whistler.
