    Trying to volumize with the round brush is a killer.

    I usually give up and just tie my hair back.

    That look has lasted the past ten years. :bigsmile:

    I'm also pretty socially inept, can't make small talk to save my life.

    This ----> :yawn: is how most people look whenever they meet me.

    :bigsmile:


    yeah that's pretty much me too... but if I know you real well... look out! :noway:

    I can't drive...lol therefore I have no license!

    I'm not very good at "leaving things for later" or just relaxing. I can be exhausted but if there is a dish in the sink it needs to be washed. So I guess the problem is I'm obsessive complusive lol

    I can't hang a picture straight

    oh god there are so many, I'll just leave it at that lol

    Painting my toenails is a skill that escapes me too. My feet usually look like I've used a roller brush on them. :laugh:

    Completely inept at:

    Tweezing my eyebrows - one is always smaller or a different shape than the other :noway:

    coming up with a good one liner at exactly the right moment :grumble:

    telling jokes - for the life of me I don't remember any and if I do I have no delivery!

    playing video games - my 7yo puts me to shame!! :grumble:

    leaving any food on my plate at a restaurant (or anyone elses plate for that matter!)

    I can't put on mascara without getting some on my upper lid and I can't bake without either burning or undercooking it. :grumble:

    I can't

    Iron - the only thing I could ever iron was a dishtowel
    Do my own make up - if it's beyond lipstick and eyeliner, it's beyond me
    Dress myself - haven't change my style since 1987
    Do my hair - I own a brush, but not a curling iron or hairdryer, or even hairspray

    That sounds a lot like my brother - he works at KFC as a cook and every time I see him he has a new burn/blister. His forearms are covered with burns and scars.

    I can't hang up pictures, or curtain rods straight.
    I can never use a hammer without hitting my thumb. :grumble:
    I've yet to master walking and drinking something at the same time. :drinker:

    I can't tell my right from my left. Can't tell you how many times i've been in the car with someone, told them to make a right, and when they do, scream at them for turning the wrong way.

    I can't remember appointments.

    Can't draw, paint, or sing.

    Have never been able to participate in organized sports. None. Ever. You know the awkward girl last picked in gym class? That's me.
  • I get lost all the time especially when people give me directions involving north/south/east/west. I never mastered map reading skills as a child and to think I was once a police and fire dispatcher. Hmm that might be the reason I was asked to work in the jail instead. :laugh:

    I cant fold... anything, at least not symetrically, or maybe its just my OCD. Either way, I have to completely avoid folding.
    Which leads into wrapping presents, partly because of folding, partly because Im a guy.
    I also hate tying and untying knots. I have large fingers and they hate knots too.
    And hand writing for me is an incompetency because mine has been called "Charles Manson Serial Killer" handwriting. Thats not even an exaggeration... oh well.

    Omg i am not the only person that cant tell their left from right? I have to hold up my hands and make a "L" with my thumb and pointer finger and the had that makes the "L" the right way is LEFT so i opbviously look like a jacka$$ when im giving directions and making "L's" with my fingers :laugh:

    I spell like a 2 year old!!!

    i lack organization skills

    I cant flip my tongue upside down and i cant lift one eye brow

    I have a super hard time finishing a task without starting another in the process.... e.g. ill start mopping then stop to pick up stuff off the table then put the stuff on the stairs to put away and realise the bathroom is a mess and start cleaning it .... without ever finishing the mopping it makes everyone around me crazy teehee

    I have to think about it first - "Which hand do I write with? Okay that's my right, so the other is left." Not good when hubby wants to know which way to turn NOW. :smile:
