cigarbreak Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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 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.
GavLew79 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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.
GavLew79 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I'll add using technology to that list. Sorry for the double post, bloody phone.
partriar Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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
DWC Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Anything that takes hand to eye coordination/depth perception. I'm blind in one eye so most sports are out.
westg Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Drinking alcohol 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
CUBANO Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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. 1
headstand Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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.
Lasabar Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Hiding these damn packages from Australia from my WIFE! 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.... 1
cigarbreak Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I wanted to add that I cannot type without looking at the keyboard...
rtrimbath Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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. 1
Duxnutz Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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! pHopefully you stay away from the Jabiru with the tools! 1
tjohn7 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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! 1
leftimatic Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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.
cdfarrar Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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.
stunod Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 You know what I suck at. "Live from the humidor". I'm crap. Couldn't know down a PSP if my life depended on it.
trader1974 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Drawing, painting. Basically anything artistic.
LGC Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I love to cook and can bake as well and my wife cannot boil water. 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.
TiminBC Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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).
El Guero Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Can't hit a baseball or hang cabinet doors straight.
jazzboypro Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 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.
cigcars Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 When it comes to planting and gardening << 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 - h-e-e-e-y-y!
cigcars Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 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. 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?"
