Blind spots

Crooked Jack

So does anybody out there have any blind spots. Reasonably intelligent people who for one reason or another, simply cannot remember some basic things or complete some simple tasks.

I have two main ones. Firstly, I can never spell restaurant correctly without checking. I always put the 'au' in the wrong place, or I put it in the right place but then tell myself, "ah hold on, you're always making this mistake, and switch it."

Secondly, and this is the one I'm interested in finding out if any other fellas can remember or not, I can never recall which way my urethra slits. If it's top to bottom or left to write. Even as I sit here, I have no idea.

What about you AH, can you recall which way your piss pipe opens?
Does anyone else have any weird blind spots?

Like this

Names, I can never remember them. And I don't mean the usual "oh I'm terrible with names", I mean I really can't remember most names.

I can remember people, their walk, their mannerisms, accents, information about their life. When I'm serving a customer I can remember all their usual buys, the amount of credit they usually buy and network they're on, the brand of milk they usually buy.

But I can't remember names, even of people I've known a very long time.

Every time I used to try to write a capital J I would end up writing something that resembled the old Eircom Eireann symbol.

Then I was in a car accident and it stopped. But now raspberries taste like pears to me.

Can't seem to go to a children's playground without my trousers falling down, it can be a real problem

Counting change while the cashier waits and there's a queue of other shoppers behind me. I get stage fright and my mind goes into shutdown.

Grand aul post up until you went and said that. That's strange, man.

So your hobby is opening up your urethra with a knife?

Stay classy.

I am slightly disturbed by the last line or so of the OPs post.



Would a doctor be good advice in this case?

The Backwards Man

I have serious problems telling my left from my right. I have to consciously think of which hand I write with every time. I think it's because I'm a bit weird with my hands, I use my right to screw with and my left to hammer with for example.*


*when using a screwdriver or a hammer, I mean.

Maybe, but i note that nobody has been able to definitively say whether their urethral opening goes up and down or left to right without checking. looks like im not the only one.

I can't do any kind of maths in my head, unless it's the most basic 2+2 kind of sum.

I'm also bad with left and right; I've been in driving lessons, been told to turn right at a junction and then turned left without even copping my mistake.

Terrible spatial awareness as well

Witchie

I can't tell the time on an analogue clock. I also panic if someone asks me the time from a digital watch coz I would feel like an idiot saying its 20.40 coz I cant convert that quick enough in my head to twenty to 9.

Also can't do maths in my head and numbers in general just kinda confuse me.

Tax, as in PRSI, PAYE, and p60 and p21 forms.

I just don't get them. I never know if they are right.

Can't find stuff in the fridge if it is facing the 'wrong' way.

Do you mean like what a tailor would ask you "Do you dress to the left or right sir?"

Otherwise I dont have a clue My blind spot however is lack of multitasking capability I find I cant focus on one task until I have completed another. Also very bad to judge distance like the length of a road etc.

If I'm looking for something in a list that's ordered alphabetically, my brain goes blank. I have to say nearly most of the alphabet to know where to begin looking for the letter.

Or how many days in the month. Without fail have to sing the song "30 days has September, April, June and November...."
