For an answer to this one, my Wife would be the better one to ask, for she is the one that always has a list of things, I don't do well, to reel off.

I'll start with; The ironing. I don't mind looking like a crumpled fellow, that's what I am.

Never been able to whistle
Can't hula hoop (couldn't when I was a kid, either).
Took Juggling, Billiards, and Bowling classes in college twice each (Phys Ed credits were required) and still couldn't do any of those activities.
I lack the coordination when it comes to multitasking with moving objects, or simply aiming & throwing...

Until maybe 5th grade I could not snap my fingers at all.
It was awkward once in Music class at school, when I was assigned to do the finger-snapping part of a song...there was nothing I could do.
After that, I taught myself how by practicing daily (in private)-and after some number of weeks, I could finally manage it. Minor, but a victory nonetheless

The key to drawing a straight line is using your entire arm, not just the wrist. Makes a big difference.

I don't recall ever having a problem with simple skills or tasks. But after passing 60 years of age the game has changed. I now reach for my shoelaces and it takes three attempts to grab them. Often more than one try to tie them. Between my failing eyesight and loss of manual dexterity life isn't what it use to be. My hearing is going as well. It's just a matter of time folks. Not if but when.....
