topdiesel Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I can do most DIY. I am a good mechanic as it was my profession for some time. I even went to school for it before becoming an accountant. So it has been a really tough lesson that Plumbing is something I need to stay far away from. For this reason my plumber was on speed dial for some time. I realized it is easier to call him ahead of time to do the original work instead of cleaning up my messes in the middle of the night or on a weekend.
Lotusguy Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I am terrible at anything involving arts - painting, drawing, sculpting, you name it. My 3 year old beats me hands down
CaptainQuintero Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 You must have married my wife's twin sister... If I want to eat a well cooked meal at home, I have to cook it myself. The cooking skills were not passed down from generation to generation amongst the women. Cook of the house here too although the reason is actually because the cooking skills were passed down!!
bigharpoon Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I have some skills I'm proud of, carpentry and general hands on skills are a way of life for me. Also sports are big in my life, cooking, too. But I'll tell you what I totally suck at: smoking a cigar with it in my mouth! When I have a cigar in hand, smoking, tasting, relaxing, etc all is great. If I put the cigar in my mouth and try to do something, anything with my hands I am a total freakin' mess. The smoke goes immediately into my eyes and I have to close at least one of them while it burns like crazy. Then the smoke goes into my lungs next , possibly via my nose, and I start coughing and gagging and maybe nasal dribbling on my cigar. Usually around this point I have some drool coming out of my mouth because I'm too afraid to have too tight a lip hold on the cigar anymore and I'm certainly not going to try to swallow it. I'd take the cigar out of my mouth at this point but I need both hands free to catch myself because my eyes are still shut and I've stumbled into something by now and need to catch myself as I fall. Seriously, how do you smoke no-handed?
rodrigodeanda Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Back in college I was (and am now too) really good at physics, mechanics and math but when it came to chemistry god knows I was an epic failure big time! I could never understood chemistry and had a really hard time wrapping my head around it! Good for me I have never used it in my daily life and hope I never will
dicko Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Playing musical instruments, arts & crafts, mechanical stuff.

Rushman Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Since I've always been in sales I'm generally horrible at follow up and have to employ technology to force me to do it. I'm horrible at most DIY. I'm good at leaving projects half done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
LeafLover Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Forgiving. If you cross me... Just walk the other way next time. 1
jabster Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm pretty happy with my ability on most "manly"things, however ( I'm sure to loose a few man credits here) folding fitted sheets kills me. Like a grasshopper on crack- arms and legs everywhere.

davidsan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm terrible with maths/numbers/accounting, singing and dancing.
contracorrientes Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 How old are you? My kids (20 & 16) both A+ students but have trouble reading a clock. To much modern technology? I'm nearly 35!!!! My shame intensifies!
Smiley Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Dancing! I consider myself being a advanced hobby musician, been playing drums for 35 some odd years but I wouldn't be able to dance to save my life.

Ryan Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 I'm rubbish at just about everything. I honestly can't think of a single thing I could describe myself as "good at", except, possibly, spotting the fastest queue in a fast food place or supermarket. That would be my superpower. I'm just lucky I know people who can do stuff.
Fuzz Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Can't dance to save my life and all types of artsy skills escapes me.
Lotusguy Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Marriage... Oh yeah - totally forgot about that. I'm 0/2 on that now.
