What do you suck at?
 

I'm curious what everyone sucks at? I'm sure that everyone must suck at something, and probably 2 or 3 things. Personally, I can't make an omelet to save my life, which really pisses me off, cause I'm pretty freaking fantastic in the kitchen, if I do say so myself (and those tfp'ers on my facebook can vouch for that, just go look at my photo albums of the week-long cake!), but all my omelets come out as scrambled eggs.

learning languages I am horrid at it.

Life :)

I suck at playing video games. However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.

Oh, and basketball.

singing

Slow-Pitch Softball: Yeah, found that out after joining a softball league with my neighbors. Played last year, spring, summer and fall leagues, never again. I can best help the team by staying the hell off of it.

Maintaining a healthy weight: I can gain weight, I can lose weight. But for the life of me, I cannot find a good weight and stay there.

American football. I love to watch it but playing it will bring mounds of untold shame to my doorstep. But worst of all I suck at ...

Society and picking up chickas!!!

controlling my appetite, golf, fighting videogames

Many things requiring hand-eye coordination in a sporting capacity (this is due only to not actually practicing, because otherwise my coordination is quite good).

Math in my head.

Remembering details for short-term and long-term memory recall.

I suck at accents.
I suck at acting.
I suck at running and therefore most sports.
I'm finding that I suck coming up with things that I suck at. :p

Tolerating narcissism.

modesty, if it weren't for that I'd be perfect









:D

I can't swim.

I've tried. People have tried to teach me, and I've progressed to the point where I'm in no immediate danger of drowning in calm water, but aside from that I'm pretty horrible. My ex-girlfriend used to say I'm just too dense. I'm not sure if she was joking.

I'm also horrible with names. I can remember all the fiddly little details of a technical system, but remembering the name of a person I met five minutes ago? Fuggedaboudit.

I am terrible at singing, but I don't let that stop me.
Keeping up with personal email.
Controlling my laughter - you know those times when you feel like laughing when you're not supposed to? Yeah, I suck at those times.

I suck at spelling something fierce, and I'm bad at detail work when it comes to grammar. I can't tell you how many times in school I'd miss something totally obvious and simple. The devil really is in the details.

I suck at following orders. I've had a string of really bad bosses that conditioned me to second-guess everything my superiors do and say. Which is a really, really bad thing, especially considering my current boss is perfectly capable.

I suck at Excel because I've never been able to use it for more than 14 seconds without getting mind-numbingly bored. It's worse than church. I don't know how Bill Gates does it.

Hey Lucifer, check this out:

Edit: Part 2!

being positive, not hating my own self

I'm a horrible listener. When people talk for more than 30 seconds at a time, I tend to blank out. Not so good when I'm in class and the professor is lecturing.
And discipline. It'd be good at a lot of things if I can stick to it long enough.
Oh, and time management.

I can't swim, suck at math and certain spatial abilities - I couldn't lay carpet or calculate how many tiles I'll need to cover a room if my life depended upon it.

Thanks to the internet, I make up for whatever abilities I lack in Google searches. :thumbsup:

Oh Jesus...


Keeping my house clean. Doing dishes. Throwing out the left over coffee from the pot in the morning. Keeping in touch with my family. Basketball.

Comprehending sentences that have double negatives.

Regional geography (I have no sense of where Brampton, Markham and Oakville are).

I suck at doing math in my head and housework.

Neither does anyone else, don't let it bother you :thumbsup:

I suck at sight reading, mainly because I'm lazy and would rather play by ear.
I suck at doing dishes, although I'm pretty good at all other housework.
I suck at playing football (soccer) and hockey (the grass kind).

I'm sure there's plenty more, I'll add 'em as I suck at them.

Driving. It's something I've never been able to get down. It would be a danger for me to be on the road, so I just don't do it.

Relationships. I have really bad commitment issues.

Swimming. I just don't float.

Basketball. I have awful aim.

Running. I smoke too much.

I suck at blank canvases. Once I get going, I'm good...but if I'm trying to start a new project from the beginning, I seem to hesitate before slapping down the first bit of color, so to speak.

Swimming, Recalling names, chatting with extraordinarily attractive women, sales and negotiating or haggling...

I also have no self control when it comes to free hors d'oeuvres and appetizers.

I suck at writing by hand--my handwriting sucks, and I put pen to paper so rarely that I have trouble actually writing down what I mean to take down.
I suck at numbers--I mix them up something fierce.
I suck at cutting in a straight line.
I suck at avoiding temptation.
I suck at quitting smoking.

I suck at dealing with stressful situations.
I suck at motivating myself to take the actions needed to become a better person. (exercising, developing career skills, etc.)
I suck at communicating with people, even with taking the Dale Carnegie course I still suck at making eye contact, remembering names etc.

I suck at anything requiring very fine motors skills, like laying a trace on a ciruit board or tweaking
parts.
I also suck at being patient, but I'm getting better with practice.

(couldn't pass it up...)

oh, and golf...

I suck at having patience. It's an ongoing trial-I tend to interrupt people when they talk to me, I can't wait for things, stuff like that.
Swimming.
Taking care of my health.
Housework and organization.

Sometimes I feel like I suck at so many things it's hard to just pick one.

I suck at not being critical.
I suck at keeping up with the dishes and other housework.
I suck at not being hypocritical.

However, I do acknowledge these flaws pretty readily, and I'm working on them!

I also suck at recognizing my achievements and what I'm good at. Recently my mother told me she was proud of me for all that I've accomplished. I have a hard time seeing my own accomplishments; I tend to only see my mistakes.

I'm not vary good at cooking. I managed to burn minuet rice last week.

texting doesnt seem like much but in this day and age its a real bitch
my girlfriend texts like a bat out of hell and have five down before i can do one response.......
one handed no less..

I suck at cleaning my house too...get the feeling this will be a recurring theme in this thread! :p

I suck at concentrating on one task at a time, and often get dispersed.

I suck at gardening.

I suck at waking up early.

Conversation.

I suck at creative endeavors. My drawing skills have been stagnant for the last 14 years or so and any on the spot creative thinking is a no go for me.

Painting! Can't paint a wall without ending up with paint splattered all over the floor and me. And the paint is always uneven on the surface after I roll it on. Red tells me that my layers are too thin, but I can't roll it on any heavier or there would be more paint all over everything else. Give me some trim work to do, and I'm great. But a big, spacious flat surface? No way.

After this afternoon, I've decided I suck at trimming yews.

I also am not good at painting large surfaces. I'm not messy with it, but for some reason I always get air bubbles under the paint. I remember one time I was painting a wall in the kitchen. I saw an air bubble and thought that it I peeled it, it would go away. The paint peeled, but not all of it. The result was an unevenly painted wall with cracks and creases. If the color weren't an ugly yellow, it might have been forgivable. I had an obsession with having a yellow kitchen with white trim, I don't know why, but I no longer have that desire. Unlike you though, I'm not good at trim either, my hand is too shaky.
