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.

Conceiving. 30 years of unprotected sex with DH and unsuccessful IVF.

Love this thread. I can't sew for shit. Or make Yorkshire puds

Booking appointments and returning packages.

Anything that involves learning by watching someone else and copying their movements:

Knitting
Crotcheting
Dance classes
Martial arts

At yoga sometimes I get lost with the ‘Pigeon’ hand twisting the instructor does.

I've wasted a fortune on clingfilm before I got this!

cooking pasta! never know how much to put in. Swimming and also cutting hair, styling hair, hair tongs, hair straighteners, nothing works; and I could not get an fake eyelash to stay put for my life. I don't get how these youngsters do it, I am very handy, can fix most stuff electrical, wood based - but fecking eyelashes??!

bake a cake
perhaps fairy cakes, anything larger and it just doesnt rise. have given up

parallel reverse parking,
or just parking, miles away from the kerb

Opening a bag, I just can't do it.

I'm the idiot that used to waste 10 minutes at the supermarket checkout trying to open carrier bags, bin bags nope can't open them, I spend an hour opening poopy bags before I take the dog out as I could freeze to death in the time it takes me open them. My DS grew up, went to uni and left home before I could open a nappy bag I might be slightly exaggerating if anything is guaranteed to get my knickers in a twist its trying to open a bag

Double negatives in conversation. I use to think I must have been off school the day they were taught but now I realise I’m dyslexic.

Poach eggs in a frying pan, don’t swirl the water.

Sleeping!

Being tidy.

Finishing jobs I've started.

Exercising.

Everything.

Poached eggs, baking cakes
and awful at pancake making

Wrapping presents. DH does them all at Christmas because apparently I have the wrapping skills of Mr Messy 😂

Following instructions. I have to be told them one at a time or my brain just can't comprehend what's being said. It's really embarrassing!

Getting out of the car/front door. I always seem to have roo many things in my hands and get a bag strap wrapped around a door handle, drop my keys, headbut a car door etc etc. I dream of being coordinated

I also can't ride a bike.

I cannot do anything with my hair- especially plaiting it behind my head.

You need the carving kit! Those tiny blades make curves much easier.

Directions and driving. However I am brilliant at parking, parallel and reversing into small gaps.

Crap at loading the dishwasher apparently.

I can't follow spoken driving directions with more than 2 steps.

End of the road, turn right = No problem

End of the road, turn right, up the hill, turn left, follow it round, take the third right and make a left = 🤯🤯🤯

It feels like my brain just switches off while the person is speaking.

I have the worst sense of direction in the world. It really is shocking. I frequently find myself lost and bless the day google maps.was invented. My husband thinks it's a spacial awareness thing but I'm brilliant at parking so that can't be right.

This 🤪

Are you really all bad at loading the dishwashers or do you just get told you are by men? I think I’m perfectly fine at it but my DH will open it, tut and rearrange a couple of things. When he is away, there is no rearranging and everything gets washed fine.

Spelling out loud.

I simultaneously have to write it down as I spell it out loud.

Wrapping presents! I always always cut the paper too short or use a full reel off sellotape!

Lakeland do silicone egg poachers which are a game changer and a must in my kitchen!

Get told I am rubbish, he does rearrange things, maybe unnecessarily! Not rubbish at unloading it seems.
