Things You Are Completely, Utterly Useless At

[Negative Creep]

Now we all have our own strengths and talents, but we also have the things we couldn't do if we had a gun to our head. For me it's:


Singing - I played Singstar recently and was so bad I actually got a higher score when I gave up and started using comedy accents

Drawing - anything beyond stick men

Magic eye pictures - can't do these at all

Drinking shots - just make me feel very ill

Poker - never figured out how to play it properly


any others?

[Emsman]

Football.

Even if the kids playing on the green kick it nearby and expect me to kick it back to them, there is no chance it will arrive. It will go anywhere but where i want it to.

Strangely doesnt happen with a rugby ball.

[TheCarpetCleaner]

Poor at mental arithmetic (coz I am fick init)

Poor at sports in general (no interest for the large part, plus only one eye works so judging distance quickly is an issue )

Rubbish at drawing or painting, unless its technical drawing or schematics.

[SkinnyBoy]

Tennis, hateful game

[GTIR]

Doing business paperwork.
Drawing

er, that's it!

[anonymous-user]

Football. I'm utterly, shockingly terrible at it, can't kick one to save my life, yet I was always good at rugby for some reason.

Why is it that I can't kick a football straight forward to somebody 20' away, yet I could box kick a rugby ball with great accuracy?

Languages .. too lazy.

Anything DIY I'm totally useless, in fact worse than useless, I can't hit a nail in straight for love nor money, it will bend just by me looking at it, which I suppose could be deemed a talent after all, watch out Blane!

[Muzzer]

Swimming.

I can do it - just not very well or, despite being reasonably fit, for any great length of time.

[arun1uk]

drawing or anything arty farty. I cant even draw a stick man properly....

[wargriff]

Finishing things, I start well bu.....

[Dr Phibes]

Tennis.
Piloting a washing machine.
Ironing.
Using scissors (Left handed)
Not getting wound up every time a look at a Labour politician or here someone trying to defend them.
Drawing, my poor daughter wants to be a designer, if she has my drawing DNA she is buggered

Is that all?

Singing - utterley terrible, i'm a decent guitar player, all goes wrong when i open my mouth!
Woodwork - a skill I cannot master, I can masacre something as simple as an ikea shelf.
Smiling for a photo - This is the most unfortable few moments for me, I always look like Im in pain....

[10 Pence Short]

Any ball games.

As soon as a ball is involved I seem the gain the hand-eye coordination of a flailing, spastical, drunken Octopus.

[ali_kat]

Maths - totally crap - failed my O Level 3 times and my grade got worse each time even with extra coaching (but I could run a busy bar with no problem!)

Dancing - 2 left feet

Can't draw a stick man (but I can ice cakes quite well )

[Office_Monkey]

Concentrating. Is a real PITA when you are in the middle of something importa

[Stupidlikeafox]

Loads of stuff!

- Rugby. I can do most other sports at least half-decently, but I cannot for the life of me throw a rugby ball.
- Running. I am the slowest person on Earth, despite not being very fat.
- Making stuff. I am useless at practical activities, even making a sandwich, they are nearly alway st. I can't saw wood, make a cabinet, mend stuff or cook. Weird, as my Grandad was (and still is) an absolute magician when it comes to anything like that.
- Drawing. I was so bad at school, my teacher let me do my art on Photoshop.
- Women. They are like aliens, except more frightening.
- Style. I don't think my daily 'outfit' has consisted of anything other than a hoodie and jeans for the last 4 years.

Frankly I don't know how I've survived this long...
