What are you bad at doing?

[Bretrick]

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.

 

[hollydolly]

Crafts...I am absolutely useless at traditional''girly'' crafts. I don't sew, I don't make jewellery, cards, pretty ribbon things.. arranging flowers.. I'm absolutely useless at all that....

I'm also very bad at seeing something in my imagination.. so I'm not good at creating a beautiful room..etc...

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs Bretrick..... I was thinking the very same thing recently!
People always say the good things about themselves but never the bad. I was thinking of starting a topic on it, but I'm an irregular and probably would never get around to starting one ....

 

[Purwell]

Getting out of bed in the morning.

 

[debodun]

Almost anything that involves physical effort or creative talent.

I think it must be an Aries thing with regard to creativity... we're too impatient..and anything that involves beautiful creations requires patience..

Are there things that you are not good at doing?
Stuff you would like to mater but simple can not master?

 

[Quackers]

So....
I'm bad at trying not to show my distaste for something/someone. My face always give me away.
I'm bad at maths
I can be exceedingly irritated by something/someone
I'm frightened of heights, but give myself brownie points for clearing out gutters on my bungalow (that's a 'bad at' and a brag )
I'm bad at understanding written instructions on how something works ..... I prefer to have a verbal explanation or someone to show me how to do it

There's plenty more, those just came to the forefront of my brain....

I'm Aries and impatient but I'm creative.
And, I love doing intricate things that require concentration. I find great satisfaction when it works out well.

@debodun Maybe I am the exception. I am extremely creative. Over the year I have created wonderful stuff. Painting 5 metre murals on my walls.
Making a coffee table with beach sand, real (dead) crabs, painted with a glass top. One place I rented had a slightly sloping small back yard. I created a watercourse flowing into a small pond.
Today rental agencies are stricter so I am very limited as to what I can do.

..but in your OP you said you were no good at drawing or painting

Waiting - I get impatient when I'm kept waiting - you know, when you have an appointment time and are then kept waiting for ages? It's especially annoying because I hate being late for anything so, I will invariably arrive early anyway.

 

[againstthegrain]

Most any physical activity requires a lot of work and dedication to be just ok at.

 

[Bretrick]

With painting I was referring to small paintings
Murals are very easy to do because there are no fine, intricate brush strokes.

Me too...absolutely drives me nuts... I don't keep people waiting, and I don't expect to be kept waiting. I've walked away from many situations when I've been kept waiting...

Playing the piano. Never could get even adequate with it.

 

[Naturally]

Playing any kind of musical instrument ... I can't and don't ... wish I could
Wait ... is cow bell a musical instrument?

 

[DebraMae]

Patience, I have none. Also, I was never able to sing on key, however, I have perfect rhythm. The choir director suggested I leave the choir and join the band and play the drums. Seriously.................

I've always wanted to play the drums..I too have perfect rhythm apparently.. I should have learned to play the drums years ago, wish I had

Archery. I have good hand/eye coordination so this should be a snap but it isn't. My arms seem strong enough but something goes painfully wrong in the process and my shot always goes awry. I'm great at darts but cannot shoot an arrow to save my life. Luckily, I don't have to.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

Consistent housework. Too enamored with spontaneity and creativity

 

[officerripley]

Same here. Also, I'm bad at: getting along with people, cooking, and eating.

 

[Buckeye]

Dealing with maroons*, especially online ones. And I always loved golf, but I always sucked at it.


* Bugs Bunny reference...

you're alive so you're good at eating... you're here with friends, so you're good at getting along with people... go back to your desk and make another list...
