What easy things are you just shit at?

[coastergirl]

It's ridiculous. I'm a 37 year old woman. I have 2 kids, a job I love. I function reasonably well!

I cannot butter bread. I make a complete mess of it. Holes in the bread etc. I can't blame it on hard butter because I use marg.

I'm ill and bored. Please make me feel better by telling me the "easy" things you're shit at.

@minniep

Riding a bike, running and making mashed potatoes. I'm actually not the worst cook but making mash just escapes me. They are always absolutely dire.

Invest in a "Masha" - game changer

Nearly 60. Still can't do East and West (although fine with Left and Right).

Cannot be tidy no matter how much I sincerely try.

Can't concentrate unless I'm being paid.

Can't make pancakes.

I can't cook beef, it's like leather every time, can't cook rice unless it's boil in the bag, style my hair. Probably lots more but I'm knackered.

Run.

Play sudoku I get confused but the instructions 😳

Play scrabble if I get a five letter word I’m ridiculously happy I just can’t look at a group of letters and think of a word

I’m good at card games

I cannot make gravy
I can make every other sauce

I can’t keep houseplants alive
Except the orchid my ex sister in law bought for me, it’s been living purely to spite me for nearly 20 years

I do know a fool proof way to poach eggs though 😊

TV remotes in someone else's house!!!

Peel potatoes with a knife
Swim

Blowing up balloons. I literally cannot get any air into it, I blow and nothing happens and I do not understand why.

@foxlover47

Cooking rice , unless it's boil in the bag it's always ended up inedible :(

Get a rice cooker - it is revolutionised my rice cooking!

Making a bed look tidy.

Maths and numbers are a no no , I am embarrassingly bad at them and it's all just scrambled in my brain! Thank goodness for calculators.

Cutting things with scissors. Can't do it nicely. I'm a preschool educator, I need to teach three year olds to cut, literally can't do it. Quite frankly they're better than me. I'm left handed and dyslexic, I blame both!

Loads of motor skill ones. Can’t park, can’t dance, can’t eat without spilling stuff, find buttons tricky, sense of direction is woeful.

What knife do you use? If you find an old fashioned type with really round blade it works much better- I use my grandmas old bone handled butter knives and they make it so much easier. eBay often has them...

Eyeliner
Cleaning

@CorsicaDreaming I'm going to look for one. Thank you!

Opening letters and boxes of cereal. An absolute shit show every time 😑

Threading treasury tags through paperwork. Or any other thing used to hold paper together basically (dyspraxia). In fact any task that involves more than a couple of sheets of paper gets me in a massive flap. I end up with sheets laid out all over the place. The other part of the problem is I can’t visualise things if they are hidden (ADD/shit object permanece).

Ironing

Peel potatoes with a knife

This is what peelers are for (I can't even do it with all peelers I have a superior preferred peeler at home. DH doesn't understand he thinks all peelers are equal)

I can't whistle. But I used to know how. How did I lose that skill? Now I just purse my lips and blow air. Its ridiculous and embarrassing.

If someone points at someone in a photo ' he's on the left' I can't figure it out. I couldn't do my Daughters eye drops for her right eye for the life of me

I can't read a map, if I've not got a Sat Nav/Google Maps I'm completely lost

Opening jars... Always calling hubby in to open them for me
