I'm too embarrassed to say.

Riding a bike.

Pete's is grammar - he means it's. Mine is painting my nails. I just did it and have made a right pig's ear of the job.

Doing my own hair. I can dye it myself. I just can't style it.

human relationships.

I am brilliantly and unashamedly incompetent at:

1. Swimming -- I sink instead of float, for a start

2. Riding a bike -- the concrete and I are friends

3. Driving a car -- as noted in the 'I Hate Cars' thread, though while I could in fact do it I ended up too nervous anyway

None of this necessarily provides embarassment, admittedly.

High jump! I started out good at it. That lasted a few weeks. I came in one day with a horrible fear and couldn't pass the bar at all. I don't even try anymore.

Writing poetry. I'm amazingly bad.

― anthony, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

HTML as well. Raising one eyebrow at a time...I still can't do it. Making weird sounds with a blade of grass.

― Lyra, Thursday, 23 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't tie my shoelaces properly.

And I'm useless at shaving.

― Tom, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't whistle, or click my fingers. I am a failure.

― Ally C, Friday, 24 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
