Something you could never get the hang of

[pringlesinatin]

Something others do and make it look easy but you cant get the hang of it.

For me its cross word puzzles never finished one i have tried but it goes in the bin.
Sudoku what a waste of time.
Home made custard cant make it at all even reading the how to make it still fuck it up somehow.
Pancakes dont get me started i just have to buy them.

Clicking my fingers, whistling and eating with chopsticks! I just can´t!

Our file sharing system at work. Embarrassing because I work in tech 😬

Marriage.

Yep, felt that one.

I'd like to add cooking rice. Can't do it. Should be so simple, I know, and in general I'm a pretty good cook but I've tried every trick and tip, even bought a rice cooker. It never comes out as properly cooked, fluffy rice. It's always sticky and soggy or overcooked and dry. I don't know what I'm doing.

Front crawl swimming. I’m a dab hand at the breast stroke, but my legs sink when I try front crawling.

Blessing myself. I used to be a catholic but I’m left handed and got it wrong all the time. I’m sure I’ve summoned more than my fair share of demons.

I'm another one for pancakes, I just can't seem to get the mixture right they've never even made it to the pan!
Swaddling a baby. I have 2 children, due my 3rd in the coming weeks and I've just never been able to do it.

Skipping. One of our badges in Brownies involved skipping twenty times but I could never master it. I think they took pity in the end and gave me the badge anyway. It was the bit where you do a little jump in between jumping the rope I never got.

Relationships

I used to be able to cook perfect rice . Then I suddenly forgot tried loads of times. Its now microwave rice.

Long division

applying foundation and eyeliner
being sociable

I may be able to help with that @SharpLily

Twice the volume of water to rice, so one mug rice, two mugs cold water. Quick stir then leave alone. Bring to the boil, then lower temperature so it’s not bubbling furiously, tilt the saucepan lid so it’s partially covered and won’t boil over (but you need to keep an eye on it. After five minutes turn the heat off and put the lid properly on. Leave the pan on the hob for any remaining water to continue absorbing until the rice looks dry.

Learning song lyrics. Remembering song names. The brain networks between words/text and music just don't seem to be there. Have never come across anyone else like this.

Poached eggs are easy:
Break eggs into a bowl
Drop eggs into boiling water
After a couple of minutes lift them out with slotted spoon.Easy!

It is hard if you’re trying to do them all at once!

Long division and using a slide rule. Much to the dismay of my engineer / technical draughtsman father. This was in the days before calculators were invented, and a slide rule was the thing to use.

I also have a poached egg trick but you’ll have to master the cling film first - line a mug with clingfilm, allow enough material to fall over the edges of the outside of the mug. Crack an egg inside. Bather cling film edges to form a pocket. Lower this pocket into a pot of already boiling water. Leave for around 3 minutes. Peel off the cling film and you should have a poached egg ready for you! 5

I haven’t got the hang of - crochet, making scones, stocks & shares.

Any languages, including my first language, as strange as it may sound, I can't speak any languages "natively" and I haven't met anyone like me. I moved to the uk when I was 12, I am 50 now.
