Default What are you rubbish at?

I know that certain fortunate people on here are perfect in every way, whereas others are so spasticated that they can't even post on S-Net without doing it twice (), but for the rest of us what aspects of everyday life are you cr@p at doing?

For me it's gardening, haggling and complaining about poor service. I'm probably the UK's worst at all of those. I'm also gradually discovering that I'm not so hot at parenting either.

So what life-skills could you do with improving? How's your parking, pulling, punctuality or punctuation, for example?

I'm good at taking things apart, but rubbish at putting them back together again.

Im bad at :-
Spelling
Doing up buttons (yes, really bad, like a 4 year old!)
Cooking isn't a strong point either.

However I like to think that I make up for those bad points elsewhere

Remembering foreign words. I have been in Thailand on and off for 5 years and know one word.

Aiming when having a ****.

Investments - I'm in the market when its down and out of the market when its up . I never get the timing right.

I'm not very good at tieing my shoelaces! I do tie them but in a bizarre way that doesn't seem to work very well.

I'm not very good at DIY/decorating. I try but I'm pretty useless.

I'm not too good with computers or anything technology wise for that matter.

Getting girls.

I'm 32, yet have never even kissed someone I don't know. Married with kids now, so not a problem anymore, but have never known what to say to girls I don't know.

I've got mates who are no better looking etc than me who pull almost everytime they go out.

Seeing things through until they're finished, getting up in the morning, being on time... so this problies puts me in the "Lazy" bubble.

Although I am working on it, nearly decided on breaking the car the other week, but have changed my mind and will finish her off
