What can't you do?

Some people I know that are 18+ can't do some simple things:
One can't cut cheese
One can't blow her nose (she just doesn't get how to do it)

So I was wondering if you guys have any simple things you can't do.

I cannot, for the life of me, snap my fingers. I have tried, and tried, but I've never had any success.

I heard once that it was some kind of genetic trait, kind of like being able to roll your tongue or something, but I have no idea how accurate that actually is

Make fun of me all you want, but I can't ride a bike.

Basically, i was too poor to afford a bike growing up, and I tried it a couple of times when I got a job, didn't suit me and I couldn't get the hang of it. So, no bike for me.

I can't fall asleep if the TV is on. No matter how exhausted I am, I cannot get my eyes to close. Doesn't matter how innane the show is either, I would probably watch static!! (Haven't tested that, though!) As a result, the TV has been moved out of the bedroom!

@DW--Congratulations on becoming a moderator!!

My mom made me learn how to ride a bike

Hope you don't like motorcycles

I can't make a spoon stay on my nose.

Same here. My brother can though so it couldn't be genetic. I can't lick my elbow.

@Shana,
thanks!

I can't fall asleep in front of the TV either. Though that is because I'm a very light sleeper, and I've often been prone to insomnia. If I'm on a train or boat though, I can fall asleep within moments, even if I'm just slightly drowsy

You should rephrase that to. None can lick their elbow. You're saying noone could lick my elbow (which they could). Lets be more serious then. I can't touch my nose with my tounge.

@DW--you're lucky, I can't fall asleep on any kind of transportation!! I need complete dark, and complete silence!

Wait, I take that back, I can fall asleep on ships.

I can't approve of any of my kid sister's boyfriends.

I also can't do a backflip, for which I curse my meaningless existence.

Well I love complete darkness when sleeping, light wakes me up. But I don't know how you can sleep in complete silence (like my old man). I always have a fan running when I sleep so I don't have to think about my thoughts all the time.
