    Do long division or cross-multiplication.


    Or any maths at all for that matter... why would they have invented calculators otherwise....

    I can't sleep alone in my house without being scared all night and thinking Freddie is coming for me.

    This is so me!!!

    I can't sleep in the dark because I'm still afraid of ghosts and the "boogeyman"...don't judge.

    This is me

    Awww....bless you - mine is similar, I'm glad I'm not the only wuss...

    If I'm home alone, I have to draw all the curtains while it is still light - I can't look out the windows when it's dark in-case someone is looking back at me... :laugh:

    I am so glad that I'm not the only one like this! My long time friends don't even know that I have this issue!!

    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.

    I guess you I'm one of those people. It drives me crazy if I don't know where all the money is going; yes, I'm one of those weird budget people lol

    For me, I still don't know how to parrall park either...

    Mine's similar also. I can not watch anything scary not even a commercial, I can't look out a darkened window and I absolutely can not get out of bed in the dark or look into/walk past a mirror in the dark. My husband works out of town so I'm home alone (with my kids) most nights, if I do any of these things I'll not sleep for a week. I also can't sleep with the closet door open or any part of my body or blankets hanging off the side of the bed. Imagine how convincing I sound when I try to convenience my 6 year old nothing is going to hurt her in the dark and get her tukus back into bed.

    I don't really understand this whole "balance a check book" thing. First of all, who writes checks anymore?! Second, just go online to your bank account. They keep track of everything for you!

    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!

    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.

    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:

    ^^^ 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)!
