    Default I can't sharpen pencils

    I mean I can, but not the first sharpen. I ALWAYS mess it up.

    What are some very simple tasks that you can't seem to do?

    I feel you on the pencil thing. smurfing pencils, man.

    I can't hold things in my hands. I'm always dropping stuff. And I don't mean that in a "tee hee, I'm so clumsy" kind of way; I need to stop dropping things goddammit.

    Sharpening pencils at school is like a guilty pleasure of mine. I love doing it, even if they are new. I can't write in pen though. Decent handwriting in pencil-loopy scribbles in pen.

    Opening tightened jars. I can lift over 150lbs but I can't twist the lid off a jar to save my life.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I'll be searching for something only to find it's been literally staring me in the face the entire time.

    I can't roll my tongue into a U shape. Nor can I blow bubbles with bubble gum.

    Neither.

    I can do everything mentioned in this thread, including sharpening pens (if you didn't attempt this at least once as a kid I perceive you as weird).

    But I can't fry an egg without breaking the yolk and I can't flip an omelette or pancake. Basically if it involves a frying pan, I'm pretty useless.
