    Can’t write in cursive? Can’t drive a stick-shift? Don’t know how to make mac-and-cheese?


    Even though i'm an adult, I don't know what any of those things are.


    No, really, can someone enlighten me? I'm not au fait with the Americanisms!

    I can't drive a stick shift...

    I wish there were days that I could throw temper tantrums like my 3 year old

    Even though I'm an adult, I can't swim. Terrified of it actually. I literally start to hyperventilate if water gets above my belly button.

    I can't tie my shoes without using bunny ears. I never learned. My way works.

    Keep on top of the laundry.

    Also, I haven't yet passed my driving test. But since I'm Irish I can still drive. Crazy f***ed up country I live in :laugh:

    Balance a checkbook. I've never used a checkbook register!

    I know some people who have to balance their checkbooks to the penny every month. I never understood that.

    ^^^ THIS. I finally said, SCREW IT. This is what electronic banking is for.

    Wow, I thought I was the only one who couldn't ride a bike! I just never learned because I had a bad experience when my parents tried to teach me. I also lived in a neighborhood where I could walk to the places i needed to. Riding a bike is still one of my life goals, though!

    I also can't:
    -Change a tire
    -Sleep with the lights off if I'm alone
    -Parallel park unless I have an empty street and 10 minutes
    -Take any vitamins other than chewable children's ones because they make me throw up
    -Save money (working on that)!

    Cursive - joined up writing in UK
    Stick Shift - manual transmission
    Mac and cheese - Most popular brand is from Kraft, macaroni noodles mixed with a 'cheese' powder that is bright orange, with some milk and butter.

    :laugh: Cursive is a style of writing that they force you to learn in American grade schools that's a horrible waste of time and effort because print is much neater and no one ever writes in cursive anyone. At least, no one I know.

    Stick refers to a car's manual transmission where you have to shift the gears yourself. I do not know how to drive a car with a manual transmission.

    Macaroni and cheese is a delicious bit of American culinary fare. It involves, of course, macaroni pasta and American cheese. And a little milk. It's not really a hard dish to make, but it does take a little talent to get the texture right.

    That is your American culture lesson for today. :bigsmile:

    Manage my finances or keep my house clean!

    This!! :)

    As above, guilty as charged.

    I always write in cursive, as I think it makes my handwriting look nicer.

    ... change my own oil.

    I did it once. The newer cars are being made so that it is almost impossible to do on your own anymore. It cost as much to do it myself as I paid in the store.

    Aha, thank you very much for the lesson! :happy:

    Oh yes, mac = macaroni - I just kept thinking Big Mac :ohwell: All makes sense now!

    Ok, so sticking with the theme, i'm an adult and I can't drive an automatic car :ohwell: I tried once, but kept having a massive panic when I went to put my foot on the clutch and it wasn't there... i'm sure i'd get used to it, but manual is the norm over here so i'll stick with it :bigsmile:
