Ok this may show us up as a bit dim :D but seeing as I was whingeing in a post yesterday about not being able to raise only one eyebrow, and by rights, im sure its not actually that hard to do.. :$ What things are on your list? Come on, 'fess up! :D

my others are: :$


*Lace up trainers in the 'side to side' way, I can only do them in the 'criss-cross' way (if that makes sense) :crazy:

* Long Division on paper

* Cut cheese, or uncut loaves of bread, in a straight line

* Sniff through my left nostril without holding the right nostril closed manually (dont ask!)

* Open corned beef tins with those stupid bloody keys

* Sometimes I cant peel banana's properly either , they just kinda snap and squash everywhere . Mind you, I dont even like the bloody things so sod it, its not a skill I need :p

* Open those bloody microwave meal things without the plastic splintering into about 88 sodding pieces , whilst billowing steam scalds my mitts :rolleyes:


I'll get me coat...

I can't whistle, i just make a silly noise and spit. I too can only raise both eyebrows at the same time, doing one is dead hard!

One thing i can do which others can't is spread all my toes out like a fan.

I also can't have a bath without washing my face, however hard i try i just have to!

the toe thing... cant do that but I can cross my little toe over the one next to it without touching it, but only on one foot :confused: if i wanted to do it with the left one I'd have to cross it over manually . Not even sure how / why I know this! :confused: :$ :D

Im left handed so i find it realy difficult to slice things up as i have to hold the knife a wierd sideways kind of way and i end up with food flying all round the kitchen or getting totally squashed.
Also I cant use can openers - i feel like im twisting hands round and round in a chinese burn styleeee when im trying to open them as i have to hold the can opener at the back of the tin , its weird ill try take a pic of how i have to hold it as its hard to describe, but if anyone else is a lefty youll understand what I mean.

LMAO, why not just do it normally and twist with your right hand? ;)

I'm right handed, but I bet if someone gave me a left-handed tin opener I'd be able to use it! :p

i'd say most people hardly know any phone numbers off by heart these days :S too tempting to just type it into your mobile and take no notice !
