Things you realized you couldn't do.

[VinnyKings]

Things you thought you would be a natural at and would totally rock at it but when you finally attempt to do it you fuck up and the outcome is horrible.

A couple of things come to mind here.

Playing the Guitar - Thought I would be a Jimi Hendrix... Turns out I ain't.
Making Flash Videos - Opened Adobe Flash... Looked at the Menu... then closed it.

So what did u realize you couldn't do?

Edit: Bout the Jimi Hendrix thing I just mean that the hours of Guitar Hero did not pay off....

 

[The Real Sandman]

Playing the Guitar - Thought I would be a Jimi Hendrix... Turns out I ain't.

You don't have to be "a" Jimi Hendrix to play good.

I'm nowhere near a Chopin or Beethoven, but I can play piano pretty well.

 

[AvsJoe]

I finally tried doing a backflip a couple of months ago. It took a week for the swelling to go down. I guess that means I'm not a ninja.

 

[SecondmateFlint]

Singing. I thought it'd be awesome to play the guitar and sing at one of the local coffee shops but I've come to realize that people with voices like mine are best left to long car rides...alone.

 

[Meggiepants]

Playing the Guitar - Thought I would be a Jimi Hendrix... Turns out I ain't.

Pretty high standards to set for yourself there...

OT: I saw skateboarders doing their thing, and my brother had one. So I thought, yeah, I can do that. Turns out. No. No I cannot.

Also, ice skating looks easier than it is. I thought I could be fancy and go backwards. Worst. bruises. ever.

I cant play EVE online I couldn't even finish the tutorial.
I cant do parkour....its a long story that ends in my arm breaking and me attempting to shake it off.
I cant dig a Vault-tec style vault by hand...hence the twelve foot hole in my backyard.
And finally I cant take apart a VCR and put it back together...there it sits.

create and manipulate fire :[ *siggh* someday

 

[Armored Prayer]

I can play sports. I'm not much of a team player plus I'm too frail and skinny to play. I'm a good runner though.

 

[Dahni]

I realised I can't say "purple burglar alarm", "murder" or "curly wurly" without making any non-Scottish people absolutely crack up.

Though that does mean I found out, in the process, that I'm hilarious ;D

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I thought I could Juggle, but I did recieve props for a "Gigantic motherfucking bruise" from my Science teacher. He's a cool guy.

 

[Mozza444]

I cant dig a Vault-tec style vault by hand...hence the twelve foot hole in my backyard.

Now that is cool.
... Maybe with my help we could finish it?
It may seem sad, but we would be the ones laughing when the fallout comes..

OP: Drive, i thought id get into a car and be able to drive easily.. turns out i couldn't..

I can though now.

 

[WoUlD_yOu_KiNdLy]

getting a girl to orgasm........ thats not funny. but on a serious note i didnt realise i would be so bad at snooker. seriously tokk me 5 hours to pot one ball...........

 

[orangebandguy]

I realised I couldn't beat the admin powers of unreasonable admins, but dammit I try!

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

Sing. Yeah, never try if you have the voice of a dying goat. People laugh and you go facepalm.
Dance. I have the footwork of a drunken rooster. People laugh and you go facepalm once again.
Drive. First time I drove I my uncles car I nearly managed to hit an occupied portopotty. Massive Facepalm. Rofl-mayo!

 

[Ghored]

I used to think playing instruments was a piece of cake. Yeah, no, That piece of cake was pretty much a web of lies.

 

[ExaltedK9]

When I was 7 I realized I couldn't fly...the hard way.

 

[SeriousSquirrel]

Chef school, PB&J just didn't cut it

 

[Koganesaga]

Pay attention to anything I consider irrelevant to my life now or at some point in the future. As generic as it may be, imagine trying to sit down and do math problem, and two minutes later you realized you off tracked yourself with thoughts ranging but certainly not limited to some porn you saw last night to excuses you'll make to your wife/husband for when you got drunk and hit their mother. I hate my brain.

You don't have to be "a" Jimi Hendrix to play good.

I'm nowhere near a Chopin or Beethoven, but I can play piano pretty well.

I'm assuming he is just using that name as a statement that he can't play the guitar well/at all. Not literally Jimi Hendrix, nobody can be Hendrix not even Clapton

 

[Colour Scientist]

Sing, I'm tone deaf unfortunately, or draw/paint as well as I'd like too. I can draw something pretty well when it's in front of me but other than that it's kinda bad.
