USB plugs. Always, always the wrong way round. Sometimes get it wrong the second time too
I've noticed this before too, sometimes in quiet reflection i wonder if people make trick ones like double heads coins.

I have no idea how I get it so wrong EVERY time. Sometimes it take me 3-4 tries to fit the usb in properly. So much fail....

Is that when you look and find you are actually trying to ram it in the Ethernet port.

That always makes me laugh at work when I get told that their USB device isn't working and I find it's actually been pushed into the Ethernet port.

Losing things. I'm forever putting things down and having to ask the missus where the hell they are. Mostly my car keys/phone as I'm rushing out the door in the morning.
same here. USB plugs seem to be the worst design ever.
Great thread.
Frying an egg for me. I can never crack the damn thing properly and end up splitting the yolk, as I cant stand a broken yolk in means throwing it and starting it again.
Seriously have been through a whole 6 pack in the morning until I got a decent egg.
My wife can attest to the stress it causes me!

It's not an everyday thing perhaps but I completely managed to screw up doing a wheely yesterday, I thought I'd dust off my old BMX and try it as I used to be ok at them but it seems either the bike got lighter or I got more useless - I managed to get the front end up no problem the first time but overcooked it so stood up off the back which wasn't too bad. Then the second time I did much the same but thought I'd try to hold on and ride it out, this was a big mistake as it involved me slamming down pretty hard so I've now got grazed palms.
I'm sure there's some sort of life lesson in there but I can't figure out what it is other than I need to practice again.

Remembering peoples names and even faces.
I think I sometimes come across as rude because I don't recognize people.

Anything to do with plastic usually gets me! Food packaging is what I fail at most; it always splits in the wrong places, showering grains of rice or lentils, or fusili everywhere 
This is even more likely to happen to me with anything marked 'easy open' grrrr!
I am convinced it has a life of its own, I hate 'daily' plastic stuff with a vengeance; like all the empty plastic bottles for recycling, I clean them and leave them to dry, but you can guarantee that they'll fall all over the place because they're seemingly lighter than air and twice as chaotic! It's becoming a phobia!
Plastic wrap/bags (like the big multi-pack crisp bags) - you scrunch it up to throw it in the bin and it just expands back to its original size and takes over the whole bin!!! Bigtime fail for me. I instantly become a mega-clumsy r sole in the presence of 'daily' plastic. Is it just me???
