Getting those plastic caps off milk cartons.

Putting on duvet covers, always wind up in the rotten things.

Opening CD cases without breaking them.

Getting the straw in the little foil hole without spilling the juice....

Plucking my eyebrows evenly (!).

Applying nail polish. I just don't anymore.......

Funny how people get right and left mixed up, and yet never up and down. Why is that?

Kold

I never get my left and right mixed up. Think it's because I'm a lefty and it makes me feel special :pac:

Because up and down are like totally different directions....... :cool:
Anyway, seems to me that it's mainly girls that get left and right mixed up. Any truth in that?

GasserOfMattoon

Hickey's have a great iron-on hemming sticky fabric which avoids sewing.

It's a winner for me.

I'm in learning to drive mode & have my test middle of next month.

Starting in 1st gear - why am i finding is so hard ?

I either don't to the off clutch-accelerator down thing quick enough & cut out - or the opposite and start off with a skid. Oh well, at least i can do it right 90% of the time ....

ilovemybrick

Ive forgotten how to use chopsticks. I used to have no problem with them but now I just can't seem to be able to use them. Worrying really.

Zonda999

Waaaa!!!!!Ive never ever , not once, been able to click my fingers.Reassure that i'm not the only one!!!!I wonder will this hold me back in life????

Banana_montana

Swimming... i just can't do it. I've no fear of water or drowning or anything so nothing is stopping me. I just think my body is a sham.

Burping... I can't do it whenever i wanna.

Nah I can do it in several ways. As a child I went about learning to do it the wrong way. So when someone corrected me I became a master at it.

Well, so are left and right. It's no different.

Mr Benevolent

Great thread, very funny.

I can rarely:

- Tell left from right
- Finish a cup of tea
- Catch something thrown to me
- Stay in the bath or shower for less than half an hour
- Finish a new book in more than 5 hours (very annoying if you've just spent €16 on it!)

Krsnik87

Think someone mentioned it on the last page, I'm scared ****less of peoples parents, can't talk to them, stand near them or pass them on the street without saying something inapropriate or falling over myself in fear. I feel there always looking for information about what you and your mates are up to.

Was talking to mates ma, very religious women and I don't know why but the only words that came out of my mouth were curse words. Hmm just realised I curse alot when I'm nervous, gonna go sit on the pot and contimplate that once for a while...

Awayindahils

Balancing. I jsut can't seem to get the hang of it. As such spectacular falls while sober and otherwise have become the norm.

And grammar, I am terrible at grammar.

Undoing bra's.

I'm getting there, but every once in a while, christ on a bike.... (I'm male by the way!)

I can't whistle. I'm also not a big fan of climbing stairs while doing anything else at the same time. Get out of the stair climbing rhythm.

That was my point.

One thing I'm horrible at is making small talk. I cannot for the life of me do it and often find myself just rambling on about something only I have any interest in.

It's full at the moment. Don't call us, we'll call you.

Kiera

I cant open a beer with a lighter or table.

PurpleBerry

Ooh! I've just thought of another one (and couldn't wait to share)

Turning a key in a lock.

I always turn it the wrong way first. Sometimes I'll even turn it the right way, hit resistence and think I'm wrong so turn it the other way, then find that that's the wrong way and then finally turn it the correct way.

Time Magazine

For some reason, I am ridiculously bad at putting things in bins while moving. If I am walking past a bin (like one these pricks) and try to casually drop my rubbish in, I almost always miss. I don't know how or why.

It has taken three attempts before. It's ridiculous.

I got pretty good at it until the last bird had one that opened from the front.. Threw me right off.

DmanDmythDledge

I can't whistle.

The Walsho

I can never use a scissors, perhaps because I'm a leftie, but I just can't do it.

+1 on the small talk too.

Can't click my fingers either, I've tried a lot and only on two occasions in my life have I made a satisfactory clicking noise.

Scissors are your friend.

Michellenman

I can't pluck my eyebrows with my right hand.

Big_Mac

Smalltalk. Totally pants at it.

Can't make sandwiches either. I can only manage something as complicated as ham and potato salad. other than that, its too complicated.

Not at all sir, I've just found that scissors are the perfect tool for removing bras.
