SURVEY: A LOT OF US DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO COMMON THINGS

Here are the findings of a recent poll, from a UK smartphone company called Honor, of 2,000 British adults – although these results are probably pretty close to what you’d find in America. A lot of people don’t know how to do very common things:
– Nearly a quarter of adults – 24% – say they can’t ride a bicycle
– 28% say they can’t swim
– 50% can’t skateboard
– 43% can’t ice skate
– 46% can’t rollerblade
– 30% can’t play soccer
* A third of Brits can’t play soccer? That’s like if a third of Americans couldn’t identify a cheeseburger.
* The list is all vigorous physical activities. So for Americans, it’s not that we don’t know how to do them, it’s that we don’t feel like it.
* So the Honor smartphone company’s mission statement is to shame people?
* From my experience, 99% of people in the car in front of me can’t tell when the light changes to green.
* PHONE TOPIC: What common thing are you unable to do? Throw a Frisbee? Bowl? Use tools?
