Your "least" talents

Post the areas where you are least talanted!

Mine:

1. I'm the worst cook in the Northen Hemishere - I couldn't cook anything edible if my life depended on it :( When I was single, I was the only reason my local pizzeria/restaurant didn't go bankrupt ;)

2. Face memory - I've already told most of you about my non existing face memory. A reliable source of social embarrasment :D

3. Keeping order - I seldom remember both my wallet and my keys when I leave home. I can't keep any order in my papers, they are constantly creating sediment layers worthy of Gwalchmai's interest. I'm also terribly abscent minded - I sometimes pass my own house on my way home, so I have to return a block or two. :rolleyes:

I don't think things out.

I'm disaster prone, hence Dp. :(

Geography as previously stated is my one true failing :( I just have no idea where anywhere is, i have been to many places, but aligning their names with where they are is nigh on impossible.

D'oh! it would have been easier if you had asked where we were most talented then I could have given a nil return ;) :D

Well I am great at remembering faces...the names ALWAYS escape...

*needs time to filter some more* :D

Anything carpentry/home repair related. I always by default seem to choose the path of most resistance for getting mechanical tasks done. I don't know why. You'd think once in a while, I could select a simple way to get the job done. I've amazed some people with my means for getting a mechanical task done. They just stare at me and say, "You did what?"

It's ok though, I've got friends good at carpentry who are so too scared of their computer to defrag it. Home repair for computer repair is a good trade off and there is always a fine drink involved in the transaction.

I'm a horrible dancer. some people taught me some new dances, though, so maybe I can improve.

Dancing, painting, singing, anything that requries natural style and poise i can't do!
Plus i can't remember my relatives names or faces.
Get a real scolding during holidays, when i ask who is that?
*points to the old lady*

Your grandma replies my sis!

"D'oh"! :D :D :D

I'm not very good at intimate physical contact with beautiful, intelligent women who name themselves after nematodes. I could use more practice - much more! :p

Finally, it seems I've met someone with as lousy face memory as myself :D

Know what you mean :(

@Weasel: Know what you mean too, although not really antisocial, rather sociophobic ;)

I'm also no good at explaining stuff - I either get too complex or too simplified. Most of the time, I get into far too much detail and lose track of the actual purpose of the explanation.

Well, there was the small issue of sociophobia :) Other than that, I can disrupt any topic just as badly as most others here :p :D

*cough* *ehem* Are you sure you should not rather list social judgement as something you are bad at? ;) :D

i wish i could share that optimism... sure it is very fine for a while but then in the end some simple rules of life always seems to interfer with your happiness, like the need to buy food for example
:rolleyes:
