    What are normal, everyday things that you never/can't get the hang of?


    When my hair was long, brushing it was impossible, and braiding it was even more impossible. 3 times as thick as normal hair, and without seeing it, that was impossible to get done.

    As a kid, I had the most trouble making my bed, not like in the morning but taking the sheets off and putting them back on, I hated doing that as a kid, it took me forever to get it right, but I still don't do hospital corners.

    Also as a kid I could not for the life of me peel a banana, it didn't occur to me as a kid you had to put some muscle into yanking the peel back, I thought it was just supposed to snap back.

    And I still can't whistle for the life of me, nothing clear and loud anyway.

    Anyone else?

    I can't snap my fingers with my right hand.

    Can't make a yoyo go in any direction (unless throwing it counts)

    Can't whistle worth a damn (which truly surprises me Normal things you can't do Ththdcc47f051)

    Run. Really and truly cannot do it anymore (physical reason for that).

    Whistle.

    I can whistle much to the annoyance of my cat but due to a respiratory condition, I cannot blow up a balloon.

    I can whistle, but not clearly or precisely. Some people can make a really loud whistle that can be heard all the way down the street; I can't.

    I only learned how to tie shoes with the bunny ear loops. I never learned the real way. I know it wouldn't take much for me to learn, but I purposely never did once I felt it was somewhat of a novelty to me when I was about 10 or 12.

    The other thing I really, really can not learn and have tried to learn is putting the head on our Kirby vacuum. (my dad bought it for us used). I just can not figure it out and have been shown several times. Then when I try to do it: fail.

    For some reason when I snap my fingers, the snap isn't that crisp.

    Neither can I, I'm not that limber, I settle for crossing my feet.
