Simple things you fail at

prompt witty retorts, makes me a bit of a target when out on the drink, i tend to resort to physical violence far quicker than any one i know. not something you can really work on either, the witty retort that is. :(
 
Volume control. When I talk, my voice always crescendos until people tell me to stop shouting.

Also, getting 'f' and 'th' sounds right in conversation.... I blame having to wear a plate brace a few years ago.
 
Handwriting (more specifically, dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's in words that contain a few together with similar looking upstroke characters like 'u' etc_

E.g. say I wrote the word "conduits". Before I dot the i and cross the t, it would look more like "conduus", as there are four verticalish lines of the same height all chained together (uit). I then get confused about where to add the dot and cross. Not the best example, it's more confusing in longer words with multiples of letters etc.
 
I fail at ALL sport type activities that invole some form of ball.

I can't throw, kick, or hit a ball.

My attempt at swimming is pretty comical too.

But i'm pretty handy with a mountain bike oddly.

This. Apart from the swimming bit as I never learnt to swim.


I dont fail at this :D i once smashed the pasty of a girl that was on hollyoaks :cool:

Wouldn't broadcast that tbh ;)

For me has to be remembering not to turn the iron off after i iron a shirt everymorning..

The times i have come home at lunch to realise that i left the bugger on which could either burn down the place and or also costs a bomb on electricity which is just plain stupidity...

And no i wont waste half n hour ironing a weeks worth of shirts in one go on sunday night :P
 
I fail at talking on ventrilo or ts3, dunno why. I can speak perfectly fine face to face or over the phone, but put me on a vent server and I turn into a jibbering idiot.
 
I fail at instinctively knowing that east is to the right and west to the left (if facing north). It always takes a fraction of a second using 'never eat shredded wheat'!
