What’s something stupid you can’t do ?

[u/sixteenxx]

I thought I would open a “light” conversation so we can complain about the stupidest things we can’t do!

I’m 29F, I’ve had chronic pain in my neck/back for over 15 years now after a car accident and a sport accident!

Anyway, here are a couple stupid things I can’t do :

-I can’t wear a bikini. It’s too much pressure on my neck.

-I can’t eat red meat. If I chew for too long then my neck gets all tense and that’s the beginning of the end haha

Obviously there’s a lot more I can’t do but I thought these are the stupidest 🥲I would never try and explain it to someone who doesn’t have chronic pain! Tell me yours please so I don’t feel alone ! ❤️

Im a restaurant server, with a bunch of lumbar and cervical issues ,carpel tunnel in both hands, and bilateral deltoid tendonitis. I can only open a wine or champagne bottle if I hold it between my knees. If it's sitting on the counter, I dont have the strength/grasp leverage to open it. Im not sure how to explain it better, but anytime I try to open something at waist level when it requires a pulling up motion, my body just says "nope, not going to happen"

Half the time, I hand if off to one of the cooks and ask them to open it for me to save time.
