What are you bad at doing?

All your posts are thought-provoking. Thank you. After much reflection, what I am really bad at doing is tolerating stupid people. My father always said "There is no limit to human stupidity".

I see it mostly when I'm driving, and people cross 3 lanes to make a turn. So many distracted drivers. I've recently watched a video on Youtube re: Road Rage that makes me realize people are always going to do stupid things and they are not personally directed toward me. I now anticipate that this is going to happen and it has made me so much more calm.\

And I'm also bad at cleaning the house. :LOL:

Thought provoking posts allows more members to contribute and it brings us closer together.
There sure are plenty of distracted people one the road forcing everyone to be on their mettle.

We all like to mention those things we are good at, but what about those things we are not so good at?
I'm bad with finances, housework, painting/drawing, keeping fit. Well the list is endless to be honest. :D

You likely realize this, but I'm going to say it anyway. There are books on handling finances, how to clean a house, and painting/drawing.

I am bad at drawing and painting, decorating cakes (like with flowers or something), water skiing, roller skating, obeying a to-do list, keeping a routine, making fried chicken, coming up with great ideas that won't work (overwintering chickens in the basement), and singing.

To do lists, rarely do they get completed...
I think with drawing there must be some sort of innate talent.
Though one can take lessons I would rather do stuff that does not need lessons.
I have in the past painted murals on my rented apartment walls which looked spectacular if I may say so myself.

Meh, I get by. I just wish I had paid more attention at school when finances were discussed.
I am super poor at study, always have been.

If you want advice about finances, I am an accountant, and am good at personal finances too. Just hit that envelope on the top right of your screen and start a conversation with me. I have done this for lots of people. I do not know anything about AU taxes.

Thank you for the offer.
I am okay. Have learnt to not spend money on unnecessary items.
Am saving plenty now. Just a little late at almost 60 years of age.
 
I am hopeless at putting things together, like furniture, etc., from a box. I know there are instructions, but I am still hopeless at it.

Funny, though, because always had a bit of a talent for dressmaking, even complicated stuff, which also involves putting pieces together, figuring out how things fit together so as to look this way or that way. But you translate that into wood and screws and such and I'm baffled.
 
DIY furniture instructions can be really difficult to follow.
I have had trouble following them as well.
So you are not alone.

Patience....

Technology...I'm so rubbish at that,.. but I'm learning now ..

Art & crafts... no-one could be worse ..I can watch a youtube video..or read a book and still get it completely wrong..I have a No craft brain and being impatient as well makes it even worse.....

Technology changes too regularly for me to keep up.
I work out how to do an operation then everything changes again. Drives me batty.
I have an artistic bent though putting it into action leaves me floundering most times.
I can paint murals on walls as long as painted people are not to be a part of it.
