What is something that most people know how to do but you never learned how?

[exitseven]

I never learned how to dance

Disco sucks

[sage2021]

For me I never made my passion for the 🥁 drums a part of my life.
I used to do air drums all the time to Led Zeppelin, and Mountain, so many.

I feel in love with Mike Shrieve, the drummer of Santana. He was only 20. I saw them in person at the Filmore in San Francisco when I was 15. I was in the front with the crowd pushing me into the stage. I started crying. Mike saw I was in distress, left his drum set, walked across the stage and gave me his cup of coke and asked if I was all right.
How cool is that?

[HaveNoName]

Yessssssss. I still have it on my bucket list to at keast join a music school for drumming. I dont eant to die without trying. I have had drumsticks on my desk since I was in cillege (35+ years now) and I just fulfill my desire by hitting them on pillows.

[sage2021]

@HaveNoName
Ah man, you gotta do this. I am going to be 70 years old in a few months, so it's too late for me.
You can do this and I am encouraging you to do it. At least look into it and try it.
🥁 Drums rule!

[Apple1996]

Swim. I had a traumatic situation happen in a pool as a kid so I never wanted to learn after that

[exitseven]

Come here this summer and I will teach you. I have a senior lifesaving badge. I have a colleague that worked at a different college. We became pretty good friends and she told me she was going to Block Island in Rhode Island for a conference. She said that she was taking her car on the boat. It costs over a hundred dollars and the conference was only about a mile away. I told her she should leave her car and ride a bike to the conference. That is when she told me she did not know how to ride a bike. She was from Haiti and never had a bile growing up. I told her I would teach her so in a couple of weeks I went t oher house and brought my wife;s bike with me. After about an hour or so she was riding like a pro.
I could teach you how to swim. If you learned in the ocean you will float better because of the extra buoyancy.

[Apple1996]

Nah I have no desire to. I've acutally taught 2 of my kids to swim so it's not a lack of info but a lack of waiting to do it

[Pterodon]

My mom never learned and was afraid of the water

[OlderAndWiser]

Swimming. My mother was terrified of the water so she kept us away from it.

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser A guy that lives in Florida and you cannot swim?

[OlderAndWiser]

Go figure!

[msc545]

Dancing and skiing. Hate both of them.

[exitseven]

Not everyone knows how th ski.

[msc545]

Almost everyone I know does know how. I got hurt badly the first time I ever tried it, and I never could manage to try it again after that. One-trial learning.

[msc545]

Thanks for MHO

[HaveNoName]

Dancing, I wish I could do it; but yeah... I have absolutely no desire to even learn how to ski.

[msc545]

Good thinking. Skiing is dangerous as hell and people go out of their way to mock and harass beginners. Just not worth it.

[Smashingdoozy]

Decent handwriting, I still write like a child

[itsclearlynicholas]

Lol join the club, however I'm left handed and that's always my excuse even though I know of left handers who write neat

[exitseven]

@Smashingdoozy Nobody writes in longhand anymore.

[Siri137]

"Nobody"? I still write that way. I never gave it up.

[TrueConfection]

Whistle super loud with two fingers in my mouth. I have tried and tried, never could learn it.

[exitseven]

Yes I could never get that hang of that either

[sage2021]

@TrueConfection
Now this I did do and I whistled loud without using my fingers. I taught myself during the summer when I was 11. I just kept practicing then one day a loud whistle came out.
Little did I know at the time, but when I became a mom and we were where there were a lot of people, I would whistle and my son knew it was me and he'd find me.

Maybe you could give it a try again but don't use your fingers. It's all in the way you shape your lips, then blow hard.
I bet it's on the internet how to do it 🙂

[TrueConfection]

@sage2021 Good advice! There is a how-to video for everything. 😂😎

[laly520]

faking a smile

lying to others

im so terrible doing so

[sage2021]

@exitseven
I still write in cursive. I posted here that the schools are bringing back teaching the students to write in cursive.
I've noticed when a person has lousey handwriting they just print everything. Now for me, that is harder to do than handwriting.
I'm trying to stop saying things like no one - instead say a lot of people aren't writing in handwriting.

Or all, or everyone - I say most or a lot now.
All guys aren't assholes! But some guys are. Right? Get it? 😎🙂

[exitseven]

@sage2021 I do not have great handwriting but I have a certification from the Rhinehart Institute letting the world know that i can write in cursive.

[NathanDavis]

the alphabet, backwards...

my brain refuses to do so...

[PrettyCrumblBb]

Same. I can count backwards daily though lol how about u?

[PrettyCrumblBb]

*Easily not daily 😅

[NathanDavis]

@PrettyCrumblBb count backwards, yes... but not the abecedario

[PrettyCrumblBb]

It español it's worse

[PrettyCrumblBb]

*in... what the heck I keep typo-ing

[NathanDavis]

@PrettyCrumblBb lmao, that's true... can't do it with either

[exitseven]

I practiced this in case a cop pulled me over when I was drunk,

[NathanDavis]

probably me... if I were stopped for DUI

[aceleon]

blowing up bubble gums

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Mongolian horse archery. Just never got around to it.

roll my r's

how the fuck you do that shit

[robhazelnut]

Be punctual most of the time, even for purely social things. I'm on board with the idea that it's rude for a host to demand that their guests show up on time.

[Laciejordan]

I never learned how to spit. People always laugh at me when I brush my teeth, because I just kind of let the water run out of my mouth.

[jahaims]

Lmfao

[PBandJ_Nerd]

That sounds horrible.

[lightbulb27]

I no longer answer these kinds of questions since AI likely builds knowledge of us from it. pretty easy to figure out you from your email address, then "you" is copyable and spoofable.

[Siri137]

Don't be so paranoid.

[BuffTaco]

Whistle. I tried for years and just can't figure it out. I don't care anymore but as a kid I was very upset about it.

[HaveNoName]

I could never learn proper dancing with all that choreography and steps, specially all the different types of ballroom dance styles.

I also CAN NEVER remember or memorize any lyrics to a song.

[RebelinSteel]

Clicking your fingers on both hands, I can do it with my right hand but not my left and I’m left handed. Everyone I know can click their fingers with either hand. Also winking I just can’t do it, I look like some divvy doing it.

[AviatorTom]

I'm with @exitseven. Never learned how to dance and am still horrible at it.

[Wiredone]

I never learned to dance, sing, or play instruments

[pethouse]

How to talk to girls 😂😂😂
But nah Fr I think it would be skateboarding

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Let's see: We've got swimming, dancing, whistling, snapping fingers, and riding a bike. Should we add kissing? (just kidding on this one)

[JacobJordan]

I know ballroom dancing

[exitseven]

You are full of surprises

[JacobJordan]

I am just middle aged 🤣 a lifetime of learning skills per my parents insistence in part.

[JacobJordan]

Just realized I was commenting on your "i can't dance" comment but didn't answer the question. Carry a tune. I cannot carry a tune to save my life. Solo happy birthday songs are painful

[douride2]

I can't dance.

[exitseven]

Me neither

[douride2]

@exitseven We would really make a pair stumbling around the dance floor now wouldn't we?

[exitseven]

Yes it would not be a pretty sight.

[petitedollbabee]

Whistling. Never learnt how, and I’ve never been able to do it.
