What basic simple thing are you sh*t at?

[Koicrap]

I can’t cook rice. If you want rice you can cook it yourself. And I can pull together a roast from scratch and every meal in between without much thought, but for some reason, unless it’s in a microwave bag, I can’t cook rice.

I can’t cook poached eggs either but I feel I’m not alone there.

Life

But its OK because I'll make you the best cup of tea you've ever had 😁

I can't cut a straight line with scissors to save my life

@QueenOfThorns my other half can’t whistle or blow bubbles. But he has a slight tongue tie, he assumes that’s why.

Turning up on time for meetings. Either 10 mins late or 1 hour early.

Baking. Cakes, pastry, even bloody pancakes! I love cooking though and am pretty good at that.

Dancing, even simple moves like twerking!

Riding a bike 😳DH has tried and failed several times to teach me. I just can’t do it!!

@Tallisker not a hairdresser, right? RIGHT!?

Joke. Most of the hairdressers I know can’t either. 🫠

Can’t click my fingers, despite many people trying to teach me. I also have a terrible sense of direction. It’s not bad; it’s abysmal. If I get out of a shop, most of the time I go the wrong way. I think this is why I don’t like to drive, as you can cover a load of ground in the wrong direction, while the sat nav beeps at you, telling you the bleeding obvious.

@Sunnyday777 i can’t ride a bike either. Should’ve added that to the OP.

I can't click my fingers
And I can't parallel park if another (moving) car is within sight. No other cars around and I do it no prob. Any potential of anyone seeing me do it and I'm guaranteed to fuck it up and then drive away in shame! 😂

@Knnniggets I can’t click my fingers either!!! Fuck me. Starting this thread has just reminded me of all the other shit I can’t do! 🤣

Snap. All down to eyesight apparently - google ‘strabismus’.

If I ever felt I missed out on anything it would be the ability to play team sports (or any sports really) for fun. I was listening to my DM reminiscing about playing hockey with her friends and wondering what it would be like, to be able to join in, hit or catch or throw balls and have your body and your eyes actually give you the right information for a change.

It’s first world problems in a way, but I was born with the hearing of a 60 year old, I’m short sighted with a cosmetically corrected lazy eye, my co-ordination is correspondingly rubbish and I can’t run for toffee. Basically, my body is the human equivalent of a Soviet-era Trabant. 🤣

Oh, I also struggle more than I’m willing to admit with my left and right. I have to think REALLY hard giving directions. It’s normally a vague wave ‘over there’!

Left and right.

I'm a fully functioning adult with children and a responsible job, but I still have to pretend I'm holding a pencil while giving directions.

Directions and where countries are I could stare at a globe and 5 minutes later I couldn't tell you where anything was. I am direction blind it has to be a thing

Cooking in general really

Another one who can’t whistle.

I’m also unable to blow up balloons. Not got a scoobie’s what the issue is there!

Gravy. Driving.

Phone calls.. I hate answering the phone and calling people. I've been this way for years and it doesn't get better 🙈

Small talk.

I am socially awkward.

@GroggyLegs Same here!

The secret to pancake heaven is to always let the batter sit for 15 minutes before cooking.

Lie !

My boss once berated me and said I was shit at lying and that I just can't do it!

I can't swim. Not even doggy paddle.

I can't whistle.

I can't pronounce M. Night Shyamalan. I always say Shambalambam. Always embarrassing as I love his films.
