What can I do sometimes

The phrase was used by a former national team coach (Fatih Terim) in an interview. Though grammatically wrong, it entered the Turkish daily language as a way of meaning "there is nothing to do about this" and it is being used in English.

next stop: everything is something happens. :)

X: Abi internet çalışmıyor, maili atamıyorum. (Dude, the internet is not working. I can't send the mail)
Y: What can I do sometimes.

I can do that but I don't wanna

A (usually) non-serious phrase that can be said by a person in reference to something they just witnessed or were told about that's often, but not always, very difficult or nearly impossible to do in real life.

Humorous and fallible attempt to try and milk coolness/points from any form of audience.

Ex. 1

Wizard: *shoots lightning bolts out of his ass*

Steve: I can do that but I don't wanna.

Ex. 2

Person in commercial: *jumps out of a plane while doing his taxes and fighting off a lion*

Jimbo to Molly: I can do that but I don't wanna.

Ex. 3

Lance: Man, I just saw this sick stunt. The guy was handcuffed while riding a motorcycle down a ramp, and then jumped through 5 fiery hoops over a shark-infested pool that also had spikes at the bottom of it.

Bobby: Pfft... I can do that but I don't wanna.

I don't care what I can or cannot do

I'm not getting married. I'm not going to let you bully me into changing anything I think or do. This isn't a 1v1 that you are winning against me. Challenge declined. You are not the challenge and you are never going to be that. You are doing this TO me and I will kill one of you kids if somebodies head doesn't roll for it. You stupid fucks should not have gotten in the way here and no it does not matter how I chose to go about it. And I'm sure as hell not just going to shut up and work harder. I'm not asking you.

Hym "I don't care what I can or cannot do. If I have to listen to you or do anything any of you say to get what I want out of this... I am just going to murder a child. I will not do it. Ever. Is that going to be the case? Or is that not going to be the case? No? I don't have to listen to you or do anything you say? Which is it? Because we can speed this up."
