What normal thing are you shit at?

[QueenOfOversharing]

When my brother was learning to drive, he drove better in reverse - I have no idea why, or if it's a "thing", but he was utterly shit at driving forwards! 😂 obviously he can do it now.

I can't use a curling tong, or blow dry my hair using a brush & drier. I can't coordinate my hands to do it. In my mind, I feel like I'm going to look in the mirror & look like Farah Fawcett, but every time I look like Jimmy Saville.

What normal thing do you struggle to do?

Get anywhere new!

Terrible sense of direction.

Getting to sleep. It's 1:30 am here.

@firstimemamma my DS has terrible sense of direction, which I cannot understand as mine is really good 😂

Ironing and sewing. I’m crap at both!!

@marcopront Get. Off. Mumsnet!

I've had terrible migraine recently & 2 nights ago I didn't sleep at all. You have my sympathy!

Doing a bra up behind my back. I've just never been able to do it.

@kazza446 I refuse to iron, I'm that crap. Sewing - I'm too impatient. Lol

Left/right and east/west!

I can keep up with them in my own head perfectly well, but as soon as I have to say them aloud, or somebody says them aloud to me, I lose all knowledge of them for some reason.

Hoovering. I leave it to dh, it bores me anyway.

Also, going to sleep and staying asleep.

@Ivebeentohellanditscalledikea nor me!!! My arms don't bend like that. Do up in front & swivel - like a normal person 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm also shockingly bad at hair!

Also gardening, I have a black thumb

French plaits. My hands/brain can't work it out!

Using a corkscrew to open wine.

Curling tongs

(I obviously don’t do well with spirals of any sort 🙈)

Cooking rice. Why can't I do it? I also can't tell if it's slightly under or slightly overdone. I annoy myself every.single.time.

I can't wrap presents neatly especially the corners which end up all bunched up.

Using a can opener - utterly shit at it

Following recipes. I'll read it through, pretend like I remembered it all and swap out a couple of ingredients because that's all I have in the cupboard. I never go back and look at the measurements and just go by eye. Then wonder why it doesn't really look or taste as appealing as the picture looks.

sleeping before midnight
Driving, i dont at all
cooking, ive burnt water
hair styling and makeup, i end up looking like a clown

Microwave rice cooker, its the only way ive cooked good rice

Remembering names just can't do it

Know how much pasta to cook. Over spec, every time.

Left/right - I have to hold up my hands and work out which one has 'L' shape on it

I cant cook. Dont know how to boil an egg.

Riding a back. It is not true you never forget. If I try to turn a corner I fall off

A bike even!

@Namechanger0800 you’re not the only one! I always manage to warp the can! I’ve got a scar on my thumb from trying to open one of my half opened cans with a knife! 🤦🏼‍♀️
