What can't you do but wish you that you could?

[Apple fanboy]

I wish I was able to take awesome pictures. I just don't have the vision to do it. It's a shame as I'd love to do it as a career.

Having just thumbed through your Flickr I wouldn't say that. You have some nice ones in there.

I wish I could read the title of this thread without getting a headache.

I also wish I could work for myself...designing iOS apps, web design, stock trading, flip/rent real estate, etc. Though I'm working on freeing up enough capital in order to buy a rental property to start making a little extra income and build more equity.

I can't fire a decent slapshot in hockey.

I wish I was able to play guitar.

I don't get comments like this.

Guitar is very easy to learn and, unless you've got no fingers, I can't believe there's any real reason why you can't. Other than laziness.

Turn back the wheel of time.

Get my kids to do something the first time I ask them.

There are things other than laziness that prevent people from being unable to play instruments. I simply lack the time to do so.

See through clothes. I imagine all those burka wearing women in gorgeous lingerie underneath that robe or naked, I wish I could see if my fantasies are correct.

I wish I could vomit at will. I'd be able to get out of meetings and I'd never have to go to a wedding again.

I can vomit at will.

I wish I could speak mandarin to prepare for the coming dawn of our new masters.

You are only speaking for yourself.
I have no desire to learn any musical instruments and I know that I would have an extremely hard time if I wanted to.

No. You lack the desire to create time.

 

[AustinIllini]

No. You lack the desire to create time.

That's quite an arrogant assumption.

Speak for yourself.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I wish I could play either the guitar or piano.

 

[Mildredop]

Speak for yourself.

I'm not the one complaining I can't do something I'd like to.

Get off internet chat rooms and pick up a guitar.

Oh please, he took 30 seconds to respond to a silly thread in good faith.

I do, however, bow to your obvious superiority.

I would love to fly.

 

[CrickettGrrrl]

I find 4-leaf clovers all the time without really trying. I'd like to find $100 dollar bills instead, at least for a few years.

 

[determined09]

Be able to Speak French and Spanish
Play the piano

 

[srltzz342]

I wish I could teleport.

Punch Kanye West in the face.

Unrealistically-
The power to manipulate time.

Slightly less unrealistically-
Speak another language fluently. I speak English & "American Medicine" (as my friend calls it) fluently, know Hebrew decently, and enough French to get around. I'd like to learn German.

More realistically-
Learn to play Tennis- one of the few sports I've never even tried. Growing up my main sports played soccer, lacrosse, and swam and sailed competitively. I've played all general sports (baseball, football (non-competatively), basketball, golf, badminton, ultimate frisbee, etc. somewhere along the way. I have even tried my hand at more exotic sports like crew, curling, water polo, and real polo (2x). For some reason tennis never made its way into my life.
