Opening plastic supermarket carrier bags - I used to try, give up, and hand it to the cashier, who'd always open then in about a microsecond. I didn't really have that problem now, since I take my own bags.
I’m pleased to see I’m not the only one dealing with this affliction . 
Gain a sense of direction.
When people ask me for directions, or talk about a trip, even on familiar roads, I've got a scambled brain as to what turning/roundabout etc is where. I can't pick it out. I have to start somewhere familiar and then go through the whole route in my head even then it doesn't always work.
I know it's somewhere I've been but I can't bring it to memory for some reason.

Do anything upside down, makes me sick as a dog. Used to be able to but not now as I’ve got older.
This may be 'benign positional vertigo' which is caused by crystals in the fluid of the inner ear, if so there are simple head movement treatments that can make it stop happening, or at least provide significant relief.Bricklaying. I can turn my hand to most things but cant seem to get the mortar right. Actually picked up plastering far quicker. Ive got more brickwork to do this year so hopefully it will kick in. Ive had the odd batch of perfect mortar and the gone arhhhhh when the bricks go down lovely but most other times 
I cant listen to someone for more than a minute. Im away with the fairies after that and then totally screwed when they ask a question.

In my advancing years (47) I seem to have inadvertently lost the ability to throw.
I used to take pride in my abilities as a younger man to lob a ball like an MLB player some great distance.
Now, whilst throwing the ball for the dog, I usually smash it into the ground at warp speed, 4 feet in front of me, or grunt as a try to throw it across a field for it to land pitifully 20 ft away.

Tolerate politically motivated people. Not politicians specifically but average blokes who see politics in everything.
It used to be confined mainly to pissed old geezers boring anyone in the pub who dared look at them.
Now, given that they have internet access, they are everywhere blurting out their gormless drivel at every opportunity.
Hateful old spunkers.

There's too much narrow minded dogma and not enough intelligent politically neutral management in government and to have it pervading everyday life is only worsening the phenomenon. Stella Tortoise said:

Right so, you don't mind politically motivated people who align with your own views then ? It used to be confined mainly to pissed old geezers boring anyone in the pub who dared look at them.

At least be honest.

This is the kind of gormless drivel that I was on about.
In no way did I even hint at what you accuse me of.
Just try being normal.
