Soldering. I understand the theory behind it, but I cannot get it right. either I get a big gob of solder on the board which connects just about everything to everything else, or I get the board too hot and burn it out.

This is why when something breaks I usually end up buying another one instead of doing a simple 30 cent fix.

organizational skills, I cant find anything to save my life!!!

Charlatan 04-15-2009 04:37 PM

I suck at maintaining friendships.
I suck at mingling at parties where I don't know anyone.
I suck at sports (in general).

Venus' altar.

Golf and cooking. Mainly golf. When I was in my early 20's I played golf for 1 year 3/4 times a week and couldn't break 100. (Even cheating) Extra mulligans, no penalty strokes, the list goes on and on.

I also suck:

- keeping my mouth shut in lectures where the professor hates me
- at shaking college girls off my leg when they reveal their inner psycho
- staying focused on writing papers that are longer than 20 pages
- exercise / eating when I'm not dating, single Crompsin is a sloth
- calling people on the phone, I get nervous for no reason occasionally

Wrexify 04-30-2009 08:58 AM

Apparently I suck at keeping my 'with friends' personality separate from my 'at work' personality. Sometimes the inappropriate humor I share with my friends slips out at work... cue awkward silence.

I also suck at throwing a frisbee on a windy day.

Xazy 04-30-2009 04:56 PM

I suck at learning languages, and remembering names.

fnaqzna 05-01-2009 08:57 AM

I suck at first impressions.

Most of my friends thought I was a complete ass before they got to know me.

uffabrew 05-07-2009 04:22 PM

I suck at staying in touch with my high school buddies and just hanging out in general. Need to be doing something other than a 2 hour bullshit session. Now, if it was two hours fishing with a bud, that is a different story. But just lazing around doing nothing and shooting the shit seems weird and uncomfortable like when someone enters your personal space.

nrclark 05-07-2009 04:57 PM

e v e r y t h i n g ... seriously , but i've learned to accept it ... :)

ametc 05-07-2009 08:28 PM

I've learned recently that I'm not good at aggressive driving.. I mean.. I'll go where I want to be.. but I'll give them a weak smile and a wave and I'll feel bad for cutting them off.. and that doesn't really scream aggressive to me. :/

Xerxys 05-07-2009 08:46 PM

I take back the chicka's thing, I'm a god now :D

lktknow 05-07-2009 10:09 PM

I suck at maintaining a household, as far as decorating or anything, other women seem to have little or no trouble doing. Like hanging drapes.....it always turns into a week long process with them never looking right, and having to have a friend fix them for me, I have actually sat down and cried at the feeling of being incompetent when it comes to doing female things around the house. I honestly think I should have been born a dude. but, I'm a good cook??

Hyacinthe 05-08-2009 02:29 AM

Like a few of the others I suck at Maths

I'm not sure why but maths just does not make sense to me which is frustrating because I'm logical enough to know that there is a perfectly sensible reason behind every equation and so it just drives me up the wall that I can't figure it out. I think in my case it is more a mental block then a lack of understanding cause take the numbers away replace them with letters and give me the exact same equation as an algebraic question and I can solve it no probs.

The other thing I can't do is make sponge cakes

My family teases me abouty my sponge discs they are that flat. Sadly I don't even have to be making the cake I just need to walk past the oven which has an otherwise sucessful sponge cake in it and it will fall flat. I possess an anti sponge cake aura or something.

Psychologist 05-10-2009 10:51 AM

Mmmmh well... I suck at everything. I must be the force holding the Earth in orbit!

Haha, self-depreciating jokes aside, I suck at err math. And doing things with my hands. I guess my fine motor skills aren't that good enough. Darn my stupid kindergarten >: (

I also suck at err... oh yes! I never follow through on things. As in, I will start projects and stuff but never finish them up. I'm always the firestarter and the leader but I hardly ever see myself through things. I just don't possess that much energy to lead myself through an arduous situation.

It's funny how much I hate myself for the things I am but when you ask me what I suck at, I can't say for sure that I DO suck at anything. I just, well, -suck- because I am stuff that are not the antithesis of most things.

Like for e.g. I am lazy.

I can't possibly say I suck at being hardworking because there's no such thing as sucking at being hardworking. You either are hardworking or you're not.

Meh.

ozahs 05-10-2009 04:43 PM

Social interaction with people I don't know. I can be very awkward.
I also am not so good at critical thinking, making good judgements. I can be too compulsive.

cyklone 05-12-2009 09:35 PM

Fidelity, and from that you can conclude that I suck at marriage as well.

Martian 05-12-2009 10:09 PM

I'm also really bad at recognizing my own limitations. I expect to be able to go everywhere and do everything, which causes me no end of trouble. I tend to over-estimate my own abilities a lot.

Magpie's good for that, though. She just tells me I'm being stupid and I settle down.

Lately I'm not very good at sleeping. I try and fail nearly every night. It's not good.

I occasionally have problems with knowing when to keep my damn fool mouth shut.

Halanna 05-13-2009 09:13 AM

Anything musical. I can't sing, play any instruments and actually don't have much interest in music, even listening to it, at all.

Which makes me sort of sad, I see and read about how people can be so passionate about music and I just don't have it.

savmesom11 05-13-2009 10:14 PM

I suck at taking care of me......I am amazing at taking care of others but I never really meet my needs.

I suck at math...even basic algebra; I have been asked to stop helping my teen-ager with his homework.

I suck at household repair....I have watched my things slowly fall apart and don't have the energy or drive to address these things.

carrot glace 05-14-2009 02:05 AM

suck at being normal, every once in a while, i tell a bad joke that starts bad and ends even worse, leaving nothing but weirdness

i suck in a general way, dont take care of myself, ignorant of peoples feelings, no confidence, i hear that alot.

i think this thread is very negative

Coolyo 05-14-2009 02:14 AM

I'm not alone:thumbsup:

I suck by beeing to0 aware of peoples feelings - constantly adapting to how I believe would suit the other people.

I suck at giving unbiased...well...everything. My brain applies a "what do I think the recipient would have a non-negative reaction to" filter to most of the things I say. I'm getting better at this - but having, and voicing my own, unbiased, opinion is so damn hard.

On the flip-side, I also apply the "What is the real message, and what is just coloured by the other persons state or situation".
Example:
You yell at me "You fucker! How could you be so stupid! You didn't tell me the car was allmost out of gas! Now I have to wait for someone to help me and I'm late for an important meeting. Thank you asshole!
I "hear": "Please remember to check the fuel gauge when you have been using the car.".
The rest is just caused by the anger/frustration of you beeing late, not paying enough attention (otherwise you would have refueled) and your lack of planning (if something is important, allways plan for something unexpected).

Nice for me - unbelieveably frustrating for the one being "filtered" , who's getting a level-headed reply.

I blame my teacher who taught us about Transaction Analysis for this filtering, although it's a good thing most of the time.

Shell 05-14-2009 10:01 AM

...i suck at being all things to all people. And I suck at not letting that get to me.

Utek 05-21-2009 09:49 PM

suck at posting on this forum (but doing so under threat of expulsion) but enjoy reading the threads

Stare At The Sun 05-21-2009 10:32 PM

Putting forth effort. If it doesn't come naturally/easily, I say "fuck it".
Staying motivated.
Most sports.

Jozrael 05-22-2009 09:00 AM

Time management.
Avoiding temptation.

ItWasMe 05-23-2009 06:02 PM

Eating a taco without the guts falling out of the shell.

Making pancakes. I either flip it too early, flip it too late, or flip it out of the pan. But I try.

BBQ-ing. By the time it's done, I've usually gotten so hungry waiting that I've eaten something else.

Tully Mars 05-23-2009 06:14 PM

Anything that requires a schedule. Oh and typing.

Dancing, drawing, singing.

ItWasMe 05-26-2009 10:30 PM

Pretty much anything that has to do with a ball.

Hoola Hooping. Never did master that one.

Sleeping alone when I am used to having a snuggle partner. Sleeping with someone when I'm used to sleeping alone. It takes me quite a while to adjust either way.

Sleeping with ANY of my kids! They are ALL major bed hogs and blanket stealers! One snores, one won't stop moving, and one about kicks me out of the bed.

Talking to people that I don't know, even if I have spoken to them online for a year. At work it's different. I'll talk to customers who have questions. But it takes me a long time to be social with new coworkers, especially if I'm the newbie. I don't even know the names of a dozen people at work, even though they have been there more than 6 months.

Along those lines, I hate phones. When the phone rings, I usually get agitated and swear before I'm within 20 feet of the stupid thing. I check the caller ID before answering. If I don't know the caller, very often I won't answer the phone. If fact, I would say most of the time.

Apparently, I suck at getting a toddler to stay in bed ... be back in a few ...

Gabbyness 05-27-2009 12:00 AM

Packing.

Where's my toothbrush? Awww dangit.

CinnamonGirl 05-27-2009 12:01 AM

I suck at leaving voice mails/phone messages. I always end up rambling on and sounding like a complete and total dork.

Same here. I have to mentally rehearse what I'm going to say before making the call, or sound like an idiot.

ArtWDrahn 05-31-2009 01:56 PM

I suck at dealing with stupid people or people who won't listen to my directions when I give it to them.

RAD61 05-31-2009 04:13 PM

I suck at fixing problems with my PC.

wooÐs 05-31-2009 08:18 PM

  • Keeping my cool when someone screws me over (road rage, gossiping, etc.)
  • Cleaning house on a regular basis. But I am getting better lol.
  • Trying to live on a budget. If I see something I want, I usually just buy it.
  • Taking out my contacts before their expiration. Mine are supposed to last a month but I've gone MUCH longer than that before.
  • Math is hard.
