KnightswoodBear Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My coordination is terrible. Years ago I had a go on one of those Nintendo Wii games that required you to plant your feet on and off the board in time to music or some shite like that. I was genuinely that bad at it that i took a massive strop and fucked off out because I thought the game was cheating me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm terrible at taking instructions. If someone describes where something is, for example "pass me that piece of paper right there", I'll start spinning around frantically, looking high and low as if it's been hidden somewhere discrete, only for them to point out it's literally right in front of me. I think it's linked to how awkward I can be in the company of people I don't know well. Since noticing how shite I am at some simple instructions, it's made me even worse because I'm aware of it now. Some simple instruction can send me into an immediate, but not obvious, panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I should also add ironing shirt sleeves which can seriously drive me around the bend. I'll get it almost acceptable with a single small crease, try to iron it out and put a massive crease somewhere else. This will be repeated numerous times before I say f*** it and just get a jumper to cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 For some reason I'm really bad at blowing up balloons. I hope I'm never stopped for a drink driving check or I might be done for failing to provide a breath sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMccorquodale Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am rubbish at controlling my emotions.This also links to me being rubbish at multitasking. If I'm putting together a table, painting or just building anything in general and someone tries to talk to me or give me something I throw an absolute wobbler and end up telling someone to f**k off. It's the reason why my girlfriend and son refer to me as " The Crackup". It won't take much diffficulty to get me extremely annoyed. Especially if I concede a last minute goal on Fifa. That drives me over the edge and I feel the need to smash my controller against a wall. Or put the boot into the door. The door has got it a few times and five controllers have been a victim of my rage. Cooking as well. The only thing I can actually make is toast. Pretty sure I failed miserably at boiling an egg once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Keeping secrets/surprises. Like presents. I always tell people what I've bought them before I give them the gift. I also have very little "get up and go". Probably the most laid back person in the world. Pretty sure my maw mated with a sloth to produce me.

throbber Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm not good at confronting an issue that has been bothering me - I think about it too much when the person isn't there then when t comes down to it I go all soft and don't want to offend the person or argue with them, maybe a general fear of confrontation.

Haha - mostly work related stuff and disputes that I have with people, usually just complain about it to other people and don't bother confronting the main issues as an argument is inconvenient. Not really related to my drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm rubbish at comforting women when they get upset. Male friends I'm happy to talk things through over a few pints, but the best I can do with women is, "ah well, shit happens.", or if they're attractive give them a hug and see if it leads anywhere. They never seem to want to put things in perspective, just want you to agree with whatever they're whining about, and if you don't you're a heartless c**t.
