Things we're bad at...

1) Fast forwarding through DVR commercials. I always go too far or not far enough or I forget I'm watching it on DVR and just watch the fuckers anyway.

2) Leaving a party. Because of this, I'm kind of a creeper. I know this is rude, but it's easier than saying goodbye to everyone.

3) Admitting when I'm wrong.

4) Losing.

Now you go.

Re: Things we're bad at...

  • I am also very bad at the dvr. When it's a joint show FI always is in charge of the remote.

    Accepting/admiting I need help

    Knowing when to let things go
  • 1. Saying no to people

    2. Getting back to emails and texts that I put aside for later.  I always forget about them.

    3. Letting H win a fight. 


    I'm sure more will come to me.

  • It makes me feel good that a lot of other people are bad at calling people back.

  • Telling stories.  Especially funny ones.  I just start laughing hysterically and can't finish.  I also tend to repeat stories without realizing I've already told them.

    Waking up on time.  

    Hair and makeup. 

    Keeping in touch with people.

  • 1. Screaming.

    2. Staying motivated.

    3. Not constantly being on TK.
  • Things I'm bad at:

    1) Geometry. And yet I do 3D art for a living. Go figure.

    2) finishing projects. I have about 5893 unfinished projects around the house.

    3) saving money. I try, I swear. I just always end up screwing myself and needing to use it for bills because I spent too much earlier on something non-essential.

    4) Whistling. I sound like a tiny dying bird.

  • Oh and when I was younger, I was really bad at being honest about when I couldn't hear/understand something.  I'd just nod my head and pretend that I did because I was too embarrassed to ask people to repeat themselves. This backfired on me quite a bit, especially in school but I did it anyway. I'm much more assertive about it now, though.

    **Saying no - I stretch myself WAY too thin because of it.

    **Making "Minute Rice" - I can't freaking do it. Normal rice I can handle, but for some reason I just can't do Minute Rice.

    **Keeping focused

    **Wrapping presents - H tried to get me to wrap his presents for him one year...then he realized mine looked just as bad as his =(
  • LP, I have perfect hearing and I feel bad asking people to repeat themselves. ;)

  • I'm also HORRIBLE at saying no, and saving money. 

    Come to think of it, I'm bad at so many thinks, it makes me wonder WHY my fiance wants to marry me : )

  • Also, I'm really bad at not bursting out laughing when someone trips or does something to embarrass themselves in public.  Unless its an old person, then I feel bad.

  • Receiving gifts.  I know that sounds weird.  But I'd much rather give than receive.

    Receiving compliments.  They make me feel weird like whoever is giving me one is looking into my soul and I feel all vulnerable.  Me no likey.

    Putting my cups in the sink.  I leave cups everywhere.  H always jokes because he can tell where I've been in the house by the glass that's sitting there.

    Not hitting curbs.  I swear I'll be able to make the turn without hitting it and even think about it and go out a little extra just to avoid it, and STILL hit the dang thing.

  • I'm with all the procrastinators.  Exams are coming up soon and I really, really need to start studying.

    Attending class.  It's hard for me to go to class when I'm 99% sure I'll learn just as much on my own.

    Doing dishes.  If it's something that can't fit in the dishwasher, I HATE washing it by hand, so I'll avoid it for as long as possible.

  • Folding and putting laundry away. I'll wash and dry it and then throw it in the recliner where it just sits there.

    Deciding what to cook for supper. I spend about an hour everyday browsing All Recipes trying to figure out what sounds good.

    Cleaning out my car.

    Putting my shoes up. I probably have 3 pair in the living room/kitchen at any given time.


    It is true that pit bulls grab and hold on. But what they most
    often grab and refuse to let go of is your heart

  • Also, I'm a really terrible dancer.  Like, REALLY terrible.

    And I can parallel park, but I'm really horrible at parking close to the curb.  My depth perception is awful, so I end up parking like two feet from the curb.

  • Math and science.

    Not taking things personally/seriously.

    Video games.

    Being patient.

  • Asking for or accepting help at work. Along the same vein, not turning down something, when I know it's going to put me over the top.

    Knowing that someone else has to do something of mine because I'm out sick. Even if I've done weeks of that person's work before, it kills me.

    Telling J if there's something really bothering me

    Procrastinating.

    Taking care of myself

    Saving money

    Putting laundry away. J does it; I just need to put it away.

  • I procrastinate.  A lot.  I was the only 10 year old who knew how to spell it.

    I procrastinate.  Badly. It's my middle name.  I was the only 10 year old who knew how to spell it.

    Math--and I'm taking statistics this semester.

    And at work, I have NO patience with idiot coworkers.  Please, act like an adult and the medical professional that you are supposed to be.

    However, I can skate passably well.  Not triple axel, but I do have a few of the single jumps (mostly) under my belt.
