Can’t write in cursive? Can’t drive a stick-shift? Don’t know how to make mac-and-cheese?
Even though i'm an adult, I don't know what any of those things are.
No, really, can someone enlighten me? I'm not au fait with the Americanisms!
Cursive - joined up writing in UK
Stick Shift - manual transmission
Mac and cheese - Most popular brand is from Kraft, macaroni noodles mixed with a 'cheese' powder that is bright orange, with some milk and butter.0 -
Roller skate. :bigsmile:
Yep, this^^ :blushing:0 -

:laugh: Cursive is a style of writing that they force you to learn in American grade schools that's a horrible waste of time and effort because print is much neater and no one ever writes in cursive anyone. At least, no one I know.
Stick refers to a car's manual transmission where you have to shift the gears yourself. I do not know how to drive a car with a manual transmission.
Macaroni and cheese is a delicious bit of American culinary fare. It involves, of course, macaroni pasta and American cheese. And a little milk. It's not really a hard dish to make, but it does take a little talent to get the texture right.
That is your American culture lesson for today. :bigsmile:0 -
Change oil in a car0

act like it!
^^this0 -
... change my own oil.0
-
Manage my finances or keep my house clean!
This!!
As above, guilty as charged.
I always write in cursive, as I think it makes my handwriting look nicer.0 -
... change my own oil.
I did it once. The newer cars are being made so that it is almost impossible to do on your own anymore. It cost as much to do it myself as I paid in the store.0 -
Aha, thank you very much for the lesson! :happy:
Oh yes, mac = macaroni - I just kept thinking Big Mac :ohwell: All makes sense now!
Ok, so sticking with the theme, i'm an adult and I can't drive an automatic car :ohwell: I tried once, but kept having a massive panic when I went to put my foot on the clutch and it wasn't there... i'm sure i'd get used to it, but manual is the norm over here so i'll stick with it :bigsmile:0 -
Stop referring to my friends as "girls".0

Do a cartwheel, jump a dead battery (afraid I'm going to shock myself!), keep my car clean.0

I cannot stay calm if something in the water (lake, ocean, river, etc...) touches me! Whatever it is, I swear it's a giant something with large teeth that's decided I would make a tasty snack.
Also,
I cannot use a public bathroom if someone else is in there. It's just weird. It's even weirder if a stranger talks to you.
I cannot make my bed every day. I can barely function until at least a cup of coffee and an hour later. At that point, I'm not at home.0 -

And hula hoop -- massive failure0 -
I have no idea how to start or use our mower. I'm not complaining either
OP: I wouldn't know how to change a tire either. That's why I have a cell phone and a husband. hahahaha jk/sort of0 -
Can't touch a turkey or watch people prepare a turkey! It just freaks me out! There is not way in H-E-double hockey sticks that I'm sticking my hand up that thing!
Oh yes, and pull the cotton out of those pill bottles. Cotton freaks me out!
Oh my goodness, just reading this made me climb the wall! I HATE the way cotton sounds when you pull it! I also can NOT touch chalk or even think of someone writing with it.
I am an adult but I can not step on spiders because I might miss and it will climb up my leg!
I still do the run and jump into bed so no one grabs my ankles and pulls me under there!0 -
I can't seem to properly manage our finances, keep the house clean, stop putting the "pro" in procrastinator, clean up dog vomit without practically vomiting myself, walk too close to the edge of the bed with bare feet and ankles after dark, or sleep without tucking myself in all the way around and having either my husband (or if he's out of town for work) my dogs and cats in the bed with me at all times so that the devil doesn't crawl out from under there and get me...I blame this on my husband and my over-active imagination :blushing:0
-
Can't change my own oil or change a tire. I have the basic idea & if in a bind, could...just never have...plenty of guy friends for that **** lol
Cannot drive a stick shift...once again, I get the basic concept, life or death I could...just no desire to learn
Still zone out on the tv....seriously, certain shows, movies or even commercials, I don't hear you until you shout my name at me and then you're greeted with a "HUH?"
Still watch Disney movies and like it
And the biggie...there are a few shows on Disney I actually LIKE watching with my daughter hahaha0 -
I can't climb stairs ............. oh, wait ............. :laugh:
And this ^^^ is horrible and hysterically funny all at the same time. Awesome sense of humor! :laugh:0 -
I can't open one of those biscuit tubes that pop when you open them! OK, I've done it ... only a few times ... usually make my kids do it for me ... freaks me out too much! lol
O.M.G. THIS!!!! I hated Jack-in-the-box toys as a child, and that's how I feel about these biscuit tubes!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I can't do a cartwheel either.
I would have said "I can't pop/snap my bubblegum." But I recently learned how to do that and I'm so excited! *pop, pop, pop* LOL!0 -
yay lol its nice to know im not the only one =D
my husband makes fun of me because of thatI can't open one of those biscuit tubes that pop when you open them! OK, I've done it ... only a few times ... usually make my kids do it for me ... freaks me out too much! lol

*I also can't swim and am afraid to learn. (husband has tried to teach me)

I can't stop laughing at fart jokes. I don't think that'll ever go away ... no matter how much of an "adult" I am.
Also, I STILL can't figure out which fork you're supposed to use for what at fancy joints ...0 -

I am the exact same! I keep wondering if the day will ever come when farting is no longer funny.
As for fancy places I remember hearing someone in a movie say "just start on the outside and work in" So far that works for me.
Even though I am an adult I still can't cook anything that is not kraft dinner.
I also can't peel a banana, I have to use a knife to cut the top off. I love bananas but I will never take them to work for that reason.0
