What simple things are you crap at?

faceman

what some of us take for granted, others struggle embarrassingly to get right. What simple things do you have problems with?

I cant eat my food with the knife in my right hand and the fork in my left despite that being the appropriate table etiquette.

I also cant swing my arms in a circle without my face and mouth twitching.

Yes but, I play a bit of guitar so it's even worse. I'd be playing along fine then have to freestyle.

Which subsequently, I've become better at. Not rap freestyle now.

Clare Bear

Parking (don't turn this in to a women can't drive discussion please), following directions, play computer games (and I used to be brilliant when I was younger, can barely pick up the controls now without getting confused)....I'm sure there's loads more, I'm crap at a lot of things

Me, I can't carry a tray very well. Or walk down a flight of stairs. I can up easily enough but I'm not so steady going down. I have bad eyesight so maybe that has something to do with it.

Just don't ask me to carry a tray (with anything on it) down a flight of stairs. Not if you expect said items to remain intact.

The Bollox

taking a quick shower. I simply cannot have a shower last 5 mins or less, if I'm in a rush I will be in the shower for about 10 or 15 mins. If I'm not in a rush I start singing, beautifully (rolleyes), and take about half an hour. ad an extra 10 mins if I have to wash my hair to either case

antodeco

Actually, I cant carry glasses/cups at all. Spill everything everywhere. Literally terrible at it. Same as tray. I suck at it.

Sellotape

I just can't seem to tear a decent piece of tape, it always ends up stuck to my arm as it comes off taking some hairs with it or it sticks to itself

Glue FTW!

That sounds like me.

When I set out to do DIY I buy all the gear I need, go home, start the job, race back to B&Q to exchange the too-small washers for ones that are bigger, get home, start again, go to B&Q to buy something I forgot the first two times I was there, go home, start yet again and then proceed to make a complete Frank Spencer of it all *@#**$#

Paralel parking, remembering names. I also can't snap my fingers or whistle properly.

+1 it's always so tempting to just stay in a lovely hot shower even if you have to rush for a train!

I cant pronounce meusli, I pronounce it 'moosly' I also call a donkey 'Dunky'!! it's an awful affliction!

delspeed78

Be on time.

I never give myself enough time to arrive on time, i'm always rushing. Used to piss my teachers off big time.Judge wasn't too impressed either!!

Blue 84

I'm terrible at bowling. Really bad. If any of my mates ring me asking would I go along for a game I make some lame cop-out excuse to avoid humiliation.

sebastianlieken

apparantly, i'm not very good at thinking of what i'm not good at.....hmmm

elmyra

Sweeping the floor. I'm actually just useless at it. Always miss bits, can't manouvere the brush between obstacles like chairs with any sort of ease. Total domestic failure.

Glowing

If i'm on the phone, I can't do ANYTHING else at the same time. It's like the rest of my body/senses shut down ....

I can't do that 'clicking' noise to call a dog

Tying up black bags, just cant seem to do it.

Ah just remembered this one, I always get slagged about it, I say wunt, like you'd say cnut, instead of want

Handwriting.

When I'm clutching a pen and awkwardly trying to write with my near useless, handicapped, left hand anything on the page is smudged to bits and near illegible and soon as I put it there.

Wish I was right handed for that one reason.

Irritating!
