What ridiculously common thing can't you do.

[Kit Chan]

It's just occurred to me, maybe some of the more common answers like tongue rolling and whistling, aren't all that ridiculously common to do?

 

[Dorothy]

I can't roll my "r"s at all because I was tongue-tied for 17 years. I also cannot snap my fingers.

 

[Zynetic]

Also can't perform the alveolar trill. It's sad because my major just happens to be Spanish.

I also cannot eat any sort of cake simply because I dislike it, and not for any dietary reason.

 

[Miar]

I can't swim.
I also can't remember or differentiate faces well (Prosopagnosia?). It could partly explain my lack of attraction to other people

 

[Cat Luver]

I can't hit a baseball to save my life.

 

[Farfetchd the Vigilante]

I can't ride a bike or whistle.

 

[Alpha71689]

I can't whistle, ride a bike, do cartwheels or handstands.

 

[Cat Luver]

I can't snap my fingers on my left hand.

 

[Stardust Crusaders]

I live on the beach, but I can't swim.

Also I don't think I can ride a bike. I know I've learned, and I could - but I just don't think I could now.

 

[Peridorito]

I can't whistle, burp, hanstand, cartwheel, tie my shoes the correct way (I believe I do it correctly but my mom doesn't agree ) and ride a bike.

 

[Olive]

I still have yet to tie a pair of shoelaces correctly. I suppose that's what Velcro is for though.

You can learn to do this by saying "butter" over and over again. It will sound like "buddebuddebuddebuddebudde..." if you do it right. That trains your tongue to move the way it is supposed to for the trill and you will eventually be able to do it. This is how I learned it last summer after 25 years of believing it was impossible for me to learn.

 

[an illegible mess.]

i can't do a cartwheel, a handstand, nor can i swim. i just kinda. flounder around when i'm in the ocean or in a pool lol.

 

[Steel_Justice]

I can't whistle, snap my fingers (loudly), eat spicy food without nearly killing myself, draw and ride a skateboard.

 

[Lysson]

• Whistle
• Click my fingers
• Ride a bike
• handstands/headstands/cartwheels
• Being aggressive unless it is as a joke
• Intentionally insult someone

 

[Juzey]

I still have to do that making-an-L-shape-with-your-fingers thing to know which way's left and which way's right

I can't do it and training it didn't work... and Spanish is my native language.

How long did you try to train? It took me a couple of months of not being able to do it at all before I could just get a little bit of a roll. Then it took a lot longer to be able to do it consistently and then be able to pronounce it in words. It still takes a lot of effort for me to pronounce it in words.

I can't remember, I was a child. But it was a long time. Maybe it has to do with my misplaced front teeth .

Snap my fingers~ I guess I could also throw in swimming~
