Simple things at which you suck

For me it's rice. I'm so inconsistent at making rice. I know it's as easy as boiling water but sometimes it's still crunchy and others it's mush. What simple things do you suck at?
 
Any letter or form that's supposed to have an easy tear off, perforated section.
It doesn't matter how slowly and carefully I try to separate them, 9 out 10 times I end with a big rip in the paper.
 
Writing. My handwriting is absolutely horrible. Looks like an 8 year olds. Every single persons writing I've ever seen looks better than mine.

Ha! Me too. God help me if I have to write a check. I rip the damned thing in half every time

Hearing words in songs. I just can't do it and I don't know why. If I don't look up the lyrics I will form my own ideas of the words that be so far off from what they actually are.
 
Using cling wrap. That shit's got me beat.

It's like aliens gave me an advanced technology, but didn't explain how to use it properly.

Drawing straight lines or cutting straight lines with scissors. I couldn't do it as a kid and I still can't do it.

Also, wrapping presents.
 
For someone who jokes around and is a general smartass as much as I am, it is almost impossible for me to tell when people are fucking with me IRL. It leads to many embarrassing encounters.

Walked into the office on a particularly windy day and a visiting client said "Love the hair" or somesuch and I was like "Uh, thank you!?" All the while I'm thinking have I seen this person before, I didn't do anything different to my hair, haven't had a haircut recently.

Yeah he was being a smart guy because the wind messed up my hair. I realized this like fifteen minutes later. He probably thought I was retarded.
 
Getting up from the breakfast table. The other day I was done eating and as I started to stand up, I started to fall forward for no reason. I didnt feel vertigo, no fainting, no anything. Just happened to fall forward. Wife saw and was like "what's wrong with you??!?"

I got my balance and I was fine.

So yeah, I suck at standing up from a table.
 
  • Zipping up my jacket. Half the time I have to stop walking and look down to do it.
  • Wiping my hairy ass. It usually takes me upwards of 10 minutes.
