What are some things you are just thoroughly awful at? For me, it's swimming. I just can't do it. I try and I end up flailing around half-drowning in the water. I've pretty much given up trying at this point.

I was bad at skateboarding for long enough that I just gave up trying. I'm sure that if I stuck with something for a while I'd get at least mediocre at it, but skateboarding started to hurt. >_<

I'm terrible at not worrying about my health. I'm in perfect health, but the minute I feel slightly dizzy, I immediately think it's a brain tumor. I worry needlessly. Always.

1) Holding down a relationship
2) Texting and answering my phone (see above)
3) Finishing Final Fantasy games
4) Open heart surgery (I'd give it a go but I'm pretty sure I'd be terrible)
5) Remembering names after being introduced.
6) Not swearing in front of my students
7) Not going grey
8) Applying makeup
9) Walking in high heels
10) Saying no to alcohol (see previous two entries)

Making sure I get enough sleep for work. Every night I think I am going to go to bed at a reasonable time...then I end up getting wrapped up in something. The only good part is that I sometimes manage to hit the right sleep cycle so I feel rested even with a shortish amount of sleep.

And Psy, your posts are fine. They make my mouth orgasm laughter all over the computer.

I am...oh!

I am THE LAZIEST person you can possibly meet. I have been crowned laziest person a person ever knew several times. It is a great honour.

1. Going to bed and waking up at a decent time.
2. Not procrastinating.
3. Being mature.
4. Not making fart noises with my mouth in public.

Chess. I suck at chess. Use the king for offense! Always use the king for offense! The knight can protect him! The knight is all you need!

I am terrible at doing homework/projects with a reasonable amount of time. Last minute work ftw. :(

Working fast (the faster i work the clumsier i get so I maintain a decent speed but nowhere near as fast as some of my co workers), avoiding sweets/caffeine (i'm getting better about it though), remembering things (When i have to ask a customer five times how she wants her turkey sliced i know i have a problem), and keeping up on housework as often as i should. doing other things is just so much more fun!

Lets see:

1. The "give & take" part of relationships.
2. Any sport involving me kicking a ball accurately & controlling it with my feet.
3. Trying not to swear
4. Remembering any woman's names unless I find her attractive. (this has manifested in hilarious fashion at work)

Cooking. If I know how to cook the specific thing, I get quite good at it. But it is not a natural skill for me. I need constant direction because I very, very heavily over-analyze it for some reason.

I need constant direction because I very, very heavily over-analyze it for some reason.I as well. I can cook my own recipes, but I can't follow directions because I get uberstressed and stuff.

I'm just too lazy to cook. If you gimme a recipe I'll jazz it up a little but I just cbf and nobody ever stocks ingredients and I'm too lazy to do the shopping so I might as well die of hunger.

Dancing and frying eggs. Both individually and simultaneously.

The only thing I'm not really good at is trying to pick up something I used to be good at that I haven't done in a while. And swimming. But there's a whole other reason for that.

I revisited this thread thinking maybe something would've changed in the last month, and...


...nope, still awesome.

Tifa's boobs are awesome, apparently.

Anyway, I'm pretty much bad at everything. If you name something then I'm bad at it. So let's just say I'm bad at life. :P

I'm not very good at a fair few things. I have a terrible memory, though I've forgotten what the other things might be.

I'm similar to Mr. Quinceteth in that my memory is awful. I can be doing something then I forget entirely why I'm doing it. Wait... what's this thread about again?? Why am I even here?!

What year is it?!!! WHO'S THE PRESIDENT?!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible at not simply walking in to Mordor. Great at Wii tennis, but horrible at real life tennis.

For you it might be easier to make a list of things you aren't terrible at. It would certainly be shorter.

We could compare notes, but I always feel really condescending when I pity people.

I'm surprised you've ever found yourself in a position to feel that emotion, what with the constant wedgies and swirlies

I know. It's phenomenal that I've managed to find someone. But the internet always delivers.
