I make perfect fluffy rice. Enough to feed a whole family. Thing is, I'm cooking for myself.

I can't tie shoe laces. Not the way everyone else does it. As a kid I made my own knot because I just can't seem to get my head around it.

The Vulcan salute, everyone can do it bar me

Thespoofer

Whistle really loudly through my teeth style, can't do it. I've a funny shaped head maybe that's the cause.

Throw things. Well I can throw things, it's the whole 'controlling where the thrown thing will go' bit that's always stumped me.

Typing 'the'. 90% of the time it comes out 'teh'.

Lucky it's not a word we use much, eh?

It would have been so easy if I had just hoovered the stairs earlier today but I didnt. It only takes about 5 minutes but it's so difficult because I just don't want to do it

Also cartwheels.

Talking to neighbours. Normally when they say Hi I run into my house and lock the door shut. Their pets have also been neutralized

Put loads of small thumb size pieces in a pile over the firelighter and the build it up with more smallish pieces, then your big pieces. Can't go wrong.

Wearing track suit bottoms in public.

So many things.

I cook very badly.
Parking inbetween two white lines sometimes feels like navigating the Himalayas.
I can't throw or catch.
The sheet on the bed never stays put over each corner.
I use a box of matches when lighting a few itty bitty candles.
Sums. Sweet Jesus the sums
The most shameful of all - not always knowing left from right.


Officer take me away to stupid person prison.

Getting out of bed in the mornings. I'm a ridiculously poor performing person before 10.30am.

Strike the match towards yourself not away from yourself. Once the match lights, rotate slowly.
Hope that cures one problem.

Cooking and maths. Ohh and using a tin opener. For the fecking life of me I can't use a tin opener.

Putting in and taking out contact lenses.

Would love to be able to wear them but just cannot get used to essentially sticking something in my eye and then pinching it out.

frozenfrozen

telling the time when someone else asks me.. I am well able to find out the time for myself but for anyone else:

"eh........ 14 minutes past.. 15 past.. quarter past.. 4... 2... 14:14.. 14:15.. here you look what are you asking me for you have a phone in your hand"



talking to children who I don't know at all. "hello little small big fella you are very old do you like things? good I like things too alright talk to you later"

then 15 minutes of awkward silence as whoever has left you with the children is boiling the slowest kettle in the universe and you know they're just listening and shaking their head at the embarrassing child smalltalk

I get all weirdly panicked that I'm going to go up in flames so drop the match as soon as one candle is lighting and then strike another for the second candle

I have this too! Try giving directions to a person while staring at your hands trying to figure out which is left and right! I just know they are thinking 'oh great I asked the village idiot'!!

I can't iron either. I always end of ironing more creases into the shirt than was previously there.

Looking at a photo earlier and himself said "him on the right" and I was like "describe him".
I think it's the same part of the brain that deals with spatial awareness, of which I have none

Converting UTC+1 with any other timezones. Brain wont let me do it.

Edit: I just had an epiphany and can now convert UTC+1 to any timezone.

As Dara O'Briain once pointed out, don't worry if you can't touch your toes, that's why you have knees.

Junkyard Tom

Counting change at the cashier's till - I get all flummoxed. I was standing looking, dimly, at the Tesco automated til waiting for it to say 'Thank you for shopping at Tesco' before I felt comfortable with walking away and the attendant came over an assured me it was 'okay, you're done'.

Arghus

Driving.

Loads of people know how to do it. Some of them must be surely dumber than me, in fact, I know some of them personally that are definitely dumber than me. But yet I've never mastered it.

I've taken many lessons over the years and absolutely hated every second I was behind the wheel. I was also very conscious that it was very easy to make a mistake and get yourself killed.

Finding a wife/gf, given the amount of dudes who wander into a pub aged 22 and just bump into future wifey likes she's been put there out of the ether.
