So as much I try to think I can do everything, I can't. I would make out a bucket list but then I would fail miserably at it. I could make a list a mile long and probably accomplish a quarter of it. Honestly, probably not even that. I make lists or get ideas in my head and I say Yes I can and then I really don't.
Here are somethings I cannot do. And please don't unfollow me because this makes me any less of a Wonder Woman.
1. I cannot fry an egg. Seriously, I can scramble the crap out of them, but if I try to fry one it always breaks, yolk every where and inevitably its the last egg left and so there can't be a re-do. I suck!
2. I cannot parallel park. Danger Danger. If I even remotely think there is no other place close enough but than to do so, I swear I will drive around in a circle until someone leaves. It seriously ends up like the movie European Vacation and me saying, "Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament."
3. I cannot hock up a loogie. I have tried. I will gag myself before I force snot in my mouth and spit it out. If you told me I had to spit and/or blow snot rockets or die. Get out the horn and start playing Taps.
4. I cannot do shots. By that I mean tequila shots or of any kind. They go down that street and come right back up. Although I think people have mad talent skills to be able to consume 10 at a time. I don't envy anyone that does it because I know they will have that two way street about 2 am when the room starts spinning.
5. I cannot spell "absolutely". If it wasn't for spell check I would miss spell it every single time. I try but at 40 is it really necessary?
6. I cannot paint my finger nails. I can do the left hand but cannot paint the right. I try but it ends up all over the sides of my fingers. I am not ambidextrous (I had to spell check that word too).
7. I cannot tie a cherry stem in a knot. I have tried. I gagged, hocked up a loogie and almost died.
Happy Tuesday friends, what can you not do?
Dusty
If you just decide that you like your eggs fried over-hard, I'm sure you'll be able to fry them just fine, because you have to break the yolk in order to get them to fry perfectly hard. :P I've never even tried to keep the yolk intact so I don't know if I could.
ReplyDeleteI can't parallel park either. My solution is that I only go downtown when I can get someone to drive me. Seriously--back when I was engaged but Angel was useless for all practical purposes since he lived in another state, I was bribing other guys with dinners in order to get them to take me downtown for school assignments that I had to do and such. I even crashed straight into the cones when trying to parallel park at my driving test. But I still passed because I can do everything else.
I am horrible at parallel parking too! I once had a roommate try to teach me, and she ended up hitting another car! EEK! I will either drive around until someone leaves, or park miles away ;) just to avoid parallel parking!
ReplyDeleteI'm also horrible at cooking rice, it's either undercooked or overcooked I get the the Goldielocks effect (just right) to work! Mike is the official rice cooker in this house!
xo
Right now... I CANNOT stop laughing at this. Seriously. Taps?? hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI also can't spell absolutely without spell check so it is seriously funny that others have this issue.
Thank goodness someone invented spell check.
Happy Tuesday.
I can parallel park pretty well… unless someone else is in the car or watchin me. For some reason it just gets me nervous.
ReplyDeleteThe image of you tryin to “hock a loogie” and failing made me giggle.
Absolutely is one of my better words spelling. Necessary on the other hand is one of my worst. I also have trouble typing the word change. I know how to spell it but my fingers don’t… I always type chnage instead.
Can’t fry an egg? Whatever happened to the gentle touch of a woman?
haha,
ReplyDeletei can check almost all point of your list. i can't cook. i can't drive a car. i can't take a shot, my body just refuse it
I cant do shots either girl....last weekend at a bachelorette party someone ordered shots and when everyone was taking them, I threw mine on the ground hahaha
ReplyDeleteMy bestie Megan, thinks it's hilarious that I can't paint my finger nails. She mocks me in a big oger voice "kelsey mash paint...rawrrr" shut the fuck! It's not my fault I never got any lesson on that nonsense. Pssh!
ReplyDeleteI can't burp. But I sure can do shots... haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha, these are not so bad! I can't parallel park for the life of me either, and I actually have a blog post coming up about this. I can't take shots and I can't hock up a loogie. Even though I can spell 'absolutely', I can't spell 'embarrassing'. I can never figure out how man r's or s's there are.
ReplyDeletexo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
It's probably for the best that you can't do #3 ;)
ReplyDeleteI might be the worst speller on god's green earth. Excersise and Convienance. I spell them sooo bad that auto correct can't even figure out what it is I'm trying to say!
ReplyDeleteBahaha! Love this. I can't paint my fingernails either (seriously...my husband says it looks like I let a 5-year old do it) and for the life of me I can't type my own name correctly. I always write "Mairon" as opposed to "Marion" . It's stupid.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea for a post. I just hope you didn't have too many people un-follow you for being so imperfect :)
XO - Marion
#2: I am the world's best parallel parker ever, for real. I'll teach you!
ReplyDelete#3: made me throw up in my mouth. Thank you.
#7: I can tie a cherry stem...and unwrap a starburst. Just saying...wait...what am I just sayin? Yikes!
#8: I'm shocked that Marion (spelled correctly) didn't comment on her hatred of eggs. (love you M!)
I can't hock a loogie either! Plus it's not ladylike. I always mix up i's and e's like in reiceve. see?

I cannot parallel park. in my drivers test I made the instructer who knew my family talk me through it, and he was yelling.. "you're a kilfoyle you can do this." I haven't done it since. asshole.
ReplyDeleteI can't hock, i throw up at the thought, and when I hear other people do it? i gag. like my eyes will water hard core, and it's totally a shit storm.
dusty, i love you.
I can't spell definitely! Every single time! I'm glad you can't do some of those (hock a loogie). Haha
ReplyDeleteI WISH I could do shots, and here's why. This Friday I have to have a colonoscopy. Don't know if you've ever had one, but to prep for it, you have to drink a shit-ton of NASTY stuff, and every time I have to have one, I think - DAMMIT - IF ONLY I COULD DO SHOTS I could get this stuff down in a heartbeat. As it is, I sip it, try to gulp it, my eyes get watery, I start gagging, it's disgusting. Blargh!! Thanks a LOT for reminding me of my colon blow. Now I'm going to get the nervous poops. I hope you're happy.
ReplyDeleteActually - the nervous poops will probably help, so really - THANK YOU.
merci,
Shan
I can always count on my favorite twat waffle to post funnies to cheer me up. Love u!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am just as freaked out and horrible at parallel parking. But I am a Shots girl and can take quite a few without getting sick. Unless it's whiskey-ewwwwww.
i did a vlog about this once. i can't whistle, or do cart wheels.
ReplyDeletei can HOWEVER hock up loogies. it took some practice, as the first time i spit it in my hair, then i had to wear it for a week being in the middle of the woods and all. but now, i'm really good at it.
i cannot fry an egg either. i don't really know what to do with eggs. except eat them when they're on my plate.
ReplyDeletei am the master at parallel parking. its weird. especially because I'm asian.
3, 4, 5, and 6 i also cannot do.
7? i can.
I'll fry your egg for you no problem. We're goonna have to paint each other's nails though because I suck at painting my own!
ReplyDeleteI can do 7 as well. And I snot rocket and hock loogies. In the shower. Everyday. Disgusting. I can't climb a fence, or a rope...or a tree. Climbing isn't my strong point. Also what I do in high heels hardly qualifies as walking.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am shameful for telling you this, but Ross read your blog before I could get to it!! He LOVES you! I am sorry I am so late to the party...it was a busy day!
ReplyDeleteSo, this post seals the DEAL on us being long lost twins!!! I suck at frying eggs, CANNOT park...period, no loogies for me, my left hand is a HOT mess after painting and I am not talented with my tongue! And I can totally teach you how to shoot some liquor...there are some secrets I will share with you one day!
I DO LOVE YOU, Dusty...you know that right????
Shanna
Can anyone tie a cherry stem in a knot?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing you've made it this far in life without hocking a loogie. HOW DO YOU LIVE? Just kidding, that's disgusting. So is tying a cherry stem with your tongue. That's business for whores.
ReplyDeleteI can parallel park, but have a near anxiety attack when dickholes sit in the road behind me, judging from their Prius. Loogies are gross so we can still be friends. I can't make a layup to save my life. Half court shot? Sure. Simple layup? No way.
ReplyDeleteI can not hock a loogie. I also can not spell "weird" without that gem called spell-check. I can parallel park 65% of the time, which is almost passing...
ReplyDeleteI can take shots, but I'm such a lightweight it's rarely a good idea. My liver has to go into training each year for our company Christmas party. I see it as an accomplishment that I didn't throw up last year.
You just inspired me to share the secret to parallel parking! I will have to make a visual ;) You will be quite surprised at how easy it is!
