Things you always get wrong..

    What do you always get wrong, or can't do to save your life?

    I can't cook white rice properly. Always ends up sticky, which would be fine except I very rarely want it to be sticky. Brown rice all the way.

    I generally can't spell the word Posion/Poison/Poision?! The ALL look right to me.

    Remembering to moisturise - I always intend to but I genuinely forget every single day.

    Sing. Seriously - I recorded myself once because my ma was really giving me a hard time - Shes a great singer. Im horrendous - I actually couldnt listen to it all. To make it worse I sound in tune in my head.

    Reversing into a parking space - I'm too scared to try if there are other people around, as I know they'd see a young woman in a car, and judge me.


    What silly things can't you do?

    For those about to answer saying ' I can do everything perfectly, EVERYTHING!!' - Clearly you cant see past your own ego :)

    I'm constantly putting my laser card the wrong way into chip and pin machines. I get a little excited the odd time I get right the first time around, the cashier rarely shares my excitement though. :o

    Sorry to hear that. Keep positive though, I'm sure things will turn for you again. :)

    Pronouncing the words 'political', 'photography' and 'geography' out loud. Apparently a lot of people who read very regularly have the same issue with these words because they are more used to seeing them phonetically spelled than they are used to actually saying them aloud but it's so embarrassing.

    Political comes out sounding like "Polly-tickle".

    The next two make me sound like a confused Jamaican;
    Photography like "Fo-toh-graph-ee".
    Geography like "Gee-oh-graph-ee".

    Once in class I had to read out a paragraph with ALL THREE WORDS and even the teacher was laughing by the end...
