Don't be so hard on them. I only fried an egg for the first time the other day. Wasn't sure what to do once I got it on the pan. How much oil to use ? Do I flip it ? I cooked it for my wife. I wouldn't normally eat an egg

You're not waiting until the pan is hot enough before you add the egg.

Honestly - that's the only way you can get it wrong.

Don't know how to change a tyre. And I'm a man. Cue lots of abuse and very weird looks whenever I bring it up (I tend not to anymore).I was shown how twice by a kind neighbour but I just couldn't keep the sequence of events in my short term memory. I know you have to jack the car up, then....remove the flat somehow, then put on the right one and tighten the screws or something...but I just don't bother now and I have gotten AA out 4 times in the last few years for a flat. They don't seem surprised at it though so maybe its more common that you think.

No throwing tomatoes please!

What are some simple/embarrassing things that you can't do or can't understand... even though you probably should?

For me, I don't have a notion how to use a fireplace. I was in a huge house fire when I was a child and as a result I grew up avoiding the idea of fire altogether. I don't know how to light a fire, and if one was already lit I wouldn't know how to tend to it, and if it was put out I wouldn't know how to clean the fireplace out. It would be less embarrassing if I was still truly traumatised by the childhood fire, but tbh, I'm not. I've dealt with it and I don't have terrifying flashbacks in the middle of the night or anything, the fact that I haven't learned is honestly just laziness, awkwardness and embarrassing! Maybe one for the new years resolutions - I mean, looking up how to do it must take what, 30 minutes maximum?!

I also don't understand WTF Bitcoins are but I pretend I do when people talk about them.

A not able to fry an egg post baffles you but the shoe laces post doesn't? :P:D

I usually just make a balls of it. Like above, I'm probably just rushing and not letting the oil get hot enough.

Reverse into parking spaces, parking in tight spaced car parks in general. During driving lessns you never got to learn properly as you just used empty car parks

I can reverse any car at speed just using rear view and wing mirrors I can't understand why people have to open their drivers door and crane their neck back to reverse :rolleyes:

Could be using a bad frying pan too, once you've used a decent one you'll never look back!

Yeh, that's half it I'd say. Exaggeration goes into that too.
