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!!!

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

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.

I suck at first impressions.

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

uffabrew

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.

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

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. :/

lktknow

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??

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

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

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.

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

Martian

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.

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

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.

I'm not alone

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.

ItWasMe

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.

ItWasMe

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 ...
