Sleep in a comfortable position.
That sounds like you never sleep.The father goes to work at 3am, he uses the bathroom with a loud automatic fan around 2:30am that wakes me up. The others in the family use the bathroom at 4:30am, 5am and between 7-8am. Last couple of days they have been running something on and off but mainly though the night, might be an dehumidifier. I don't sleep much if at all
I often can't remember where my wife likes to sit.
In a restaurant it's ALWAYS with her back to the wall giving here the widest view of the room.
At home, it's the other way round as she likes looking out at the garden.
Unless we're sitting outside, in which case she wants to sit looking into the house.
I can't discern the logic so frequently have to ask.
Also, I don't give a s
t where I sit which makes it harder to follow her preferences.

Funnily enough our neighbour works alternating 6-2 / 2-10 and I usually get woken when he turns his power shower on about 4.20am on his early shift.
I also cannot sleep on my back or my front.

Anagrams.
I'm great at the maths round on the Countdown TV show. But the letters round - absolute crap.

The maths round I can do it in my head within a few seconds usually.
This frustrates my girlfriend massively.
The letters round, she'll look at me all smug "What do you have?"

Map read. All I see is a mess of squiggly lines. I'd be knackered had sat nav no been invented. Felt roofs. We have numerous playhouses at our allotments for poultry, plus a summerhouse there. At home we also have a summerhouse and three sheds. Every time I've undertaken this task my wife has had to re-do the job from scratch. Tell my left from my right, never have been able to.

I had to wire a plug the other day, actually the socket on an extension lead, I was ok okay with the old system of redL, blackN and BrownE but this new wiring with stripes was horrible. It was also years since I wired anything.
I've a masters in E&E engineering. I get very pissed off with people (relations) who think that means I should be able to fix their TV. But I'm too polite to let them know that so I footer about with their gadget failures when they ask potentially making it worse but giving it a go.Quhet said:
I've never been able to do a forward roll.
Me either! I remember so many different people showing me different ways to do it at school but it would always end up with me laying on the floor. I used to worry about how I'd get through life without this essential skill, then I left primary school and it never came up again

Read a legal document and thread titles. I just give up.
The tread title is "simple things you just can't do". Legal documents are the very opposite of simple.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
