I'm terrible at being patient with stupidity...

LOL I'm terrible at this same thing (in restaurants, on the road, and on my commute in particular) but I have learned to accept and call it for what it really is...being an A$$hole innocent.gif I get especially impatient when I haven't eaten yet and it turns into hAngriness lol.

I'm really terrible at freehand writing as children have better cursive than me. I also can't parallel park for $hit but I can reverse park like James Bond. I'd rather pay and walk a distance from a parking lot than have to suffer the shame of my inability to parallel lol.

Sense of direction is probably the #1... and not asking someone for directions is #2

I'm mechanically inclined but can't do carpentry for crap. I'm the guy who cuts off a 2x4 3 times and it's still to short.

What?? No mechanical skill?? Oh ye the inventor of the Shoo-Away? How is this possible?! And, btw, it actually IS "Duck Tape" not "Duct Tape." The original name was granted to this fine adhesive i

I've got to go with you Pres; DIY.

Absolutely hate it and I'm pretty **** at it. I hate to think that my hard earned cigar funds inevitably need to pay some form of workman from time to time, but I have no choice.

I'll add using technology to that list. Sorry for the double post, bloody phone.

I am quite mechanically inclined. Have done a mechanical engineer degree (dont work in that field at all now) have build a car from scratch highly, modified and re-engineered motorbike but to this day i always start bolts and nuts the wrong way. Serious there is only 2 options and every single time i choose the wrong way first!!

Also i dont know my left and right, again only 2 options and always choose the wrong one. Someone will ask which way, ill say left and point right.

Spelling, cant spell to save my life, lucky for me they have spell check and auto correct so i get by... just

Anything that takes hand to eye coordination/depth perception. I'm blind in one eye so most sports are out.

I suck at accounting. I mean I can budget myself and what goes in must come out, it's not that hard. But I've delayd my corporate accounting unit for my MBA going on two years now because I hate it so much. I am convinced that the entire accounting industry was built solely to employ people. It shouldn't be that hard, it doesn't need to be that complicated.

When I went to university..I put it off as well....I have not studied so hard at anything in my life to get 62% for what was basically equivalent to yr 12 accounting ..I was as happy as a pig in ****...no one is any good at drinking Mus

I'm very mechanically inclined, and very good as a handy man, but when it comes to cooking I even burn toast. Except the New Year's Eve pig roast. I can do that well after 25 years.

Painting. I'm just too sloppy and I can't seem to do a good job no matter how hard I try.

Ditto. I try real hard at first, but then my concentration wavers and next thing you know there is more paint on my shirt, hands, and face.

Useless with a brush.

Hiding these damn packages from Australia from my WIFE!tantrum.gif

I'm also bad at fitting the typical marital roles. I love to cook and can bake as well and my wife cannot boil water. I'm not the handiest man, but more for lack of want not of skill. I also suck at eating right. My mind says salad but my eyes say boneless wings....

I'm not sure what I'm good at, but I'm terrible at money management and controlling my impulse buys. I'm to the point where I've actually thought of asking Diana to cut me off haha.

Handyman type stuff including fixing things to walls. I also can't pull stuff apart and put it back together (Iike Rob it seems!)

It also took me 40 years to learn "righty tighty, lefty loosey". Before that every time I had spanner or screwdriver in my hand....well.... enough said really!

Hopefully you stay away from the Jabiru with the tools!

I'm extremely impatient. That has to be what I'm worst at. Oh, and following rules. But don't worry, tonight I will follow every rule!

Pretty good at carpentry and cabinetmaking (30 yrs exp.).

Horrible at money and time management.

Ss I type this I should be dressing for work. Oh well.

All good carpenters are terrible at any kind of management. It's our artistic nature I suppose.

Can cook and find my way home, have a Masters from John Hopkins University(Theoretical Physic's) but a total "Train Wreck" when it comes to spelling. if it were not for auto-correct I would be lost.

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.

Numbers have always been my friend. Words have always been my nemesis.

I learned along time ago how to get things done on time that needed to be done. Over time I have learned how to put things off because hey the world will not end if they are not done today (or tomorrow).

For some reason i just can't match colors properly, i need my wife when buying clothing, i can paint the house properly but can't buy the paint myself. I would also be in trouble if i had to do the laundry.

When it comes to planting and gardening 2thumbs.gif << These are not green. Plants and seeds "guaranteed to grow" do not and die under my thumb. I tried planting my favorite fruit, grapes, once. Got the trellis for the vines, the grape plants...let's not waste time with the outcome. My mom on the other hand, all she had to do was dig a hole in the ground and SHE GOT BUMPER CROPS of anything she planted. ***SHE took over planting the grapes...those damn things took over the entire yard, the neighbor's yard, my apple tree...she had so many grapes, and being an at home now retired "Mom", she thought she'd try what the Italians do and put them in a tub and stamp on them. She said the experience made her feet so soft - baby skin soft! So much for that.

I don't have a singing voice. I've been asked to sing at some functions and have warned the folks all that would happen would be the ASPCA SWAT Team would show up dropping people out of helicopters, yelling at us through bull horns going, "ALL RIGHT. What are you doing to that animal in there, you MONSTERS!" And they'd have to be told that's no animal..."that's HER singin'!" And they'd go Geeeeze.

I can't paint a room or a wall or a ceiling worth a damn. I'm VERY "directionally challenged" as my sister describes...I get lost very easily on the streets and roads. Just about anything else, though - spotlight.gif h-e-e-e-y-y!

One of my favorite early comedians who went "natural" as far as his diet said his wife can't cook anyway. He said, "Have you ever heard of anybody to burn Kool-aid?"
