What is it that you don't do well?

[poptart]

We all have some talent(s).
But there is also that nagging thing(s) we don't do well... and probably never have.

We see other people doing this thing, and it looks like it's no problem.
But we just can't get it.

Maybe singing, maybe math, maybe throwing a baseball...





What is that thing you are just not good at?

[mvscal]

Cooking rice.

[Wolfman]

Go to my right in basketball. As a lefty, i had great control going to my left. Once a defender realized my weakness, they could shut me down defensively. Had to score early and often if I was to score at all. Great players in sports like hoops, LAX, and hockey don't have that problem.

[Left Seater]

Never could hit a curve ball, have a hard time working a golf ball right to left, the French language, having patience with stupid people.

[Screw_Michigan]

Suffer fools.

[War Wagon]

The list of things I don't do well is longer than the other.

[BSmack]

Lost your sig already?

[War Wagon]

short term memory loss is a thing I do well.

[Blitzen]

What is that thing you are just not good at?

Preventing oneself from responding to yet another lame poptard post
in which said poster almost never gives his own answer.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I'm not good at listing things that I don't do well.

[Mikey]

Sounds like a job interview question.

[mvscal]

Cooking rice.

I used to have that problem, which is a big problem in south Louisiana. But now it is no problem because I cook it just like pasta for about 10 minutes and then drain it, with a little salt and oil in the water.

Might as well give it a shot. Can't be any worse than my usual hit and miss method.

I can make Japanese sticky rice and risotto fine. Plain white rice always seems to fuck me up.

Plain white rice always seems to fuck me up.

I just use twice as much water as rice (usually 2 cups water/1 cup rice), bring water to a boil with a little salt & butter, stir in rice, reduce heat to low, cover, simmer for ~20 minutes, remove from heat, let it sit for a couple minutes, stir & serve. Comes out perfect every time.

[Bucmonkey]

Is throwing a ball your contribution Pops?

Playing tennis for me (the irony aside Pops).
I am a decent enough athlete but for whatever reason will never be able to play that game with any consistency, regardless of coaching...

[smackaholic]

what SC said. 2/1, a little salt. As soon as it reaches a boils, drop heat to very low, cook covered for 14 minutes.

Works every time. Or you can cheat and use the rice cooker like the OL does. They use less water, closer to 1/1. They do work very well.

Of course, if you have no taste buds or mouth feel at all, you can use minute rice.

My list.

Finishing things.

ADD is a mofo. I get them done to the point where they are functional (sort of) and move onto the next project. BTW, the deck did get completely finished, but there.

As for wolfie's affliction, yeah, going to the left ain't happening. Going to the right, I was half decent at as a kid, but, never could master dribbling without staring at the ball. I pretty much suck at bball.

Another one is doing multiple things at once. Brain is just not wired that way. Found that out as a kid i my first job at Friendlys Ice Cream. Tried to run the grill at lunch time. Boy was that ugly. Being a good short order cook is an art form.

[trev]

mvscal, why don't you try a rice cooker? They work.

[BSmack]

With me, it is definitely fielding a baseball. I could stand in the box and hit, I couldn't field a lick.
Oh yea, I'm not able to go to my left. Not even a little.

There’s more, lots more. Save your keystrokes clones.

[Carson]

mvscal, why don't you try a rice cooker? They work.

I bought two different models and both burned the bottom of the pot.

Uncle Ben's works for me.

[Smackie Chan]

Neither am I. But if we're talking fully lit interweb losers and non-interesting factoids, I'm your huckleberry.

[Wolfman]

Smackie was on his A-game last night. The only thing missing with those info-nuggets was that *pop* sound drop like they had in Pop-up Videos.
Kind of ironic that I can't "go to my right" and BSmack can't "go to his left", get it?

[Moby Dick]

Never could hit a curve ball, have a hard time working a golf ball right to left, the French language, having patience with stupid people.

i still cringe when i think of the first time i saw a curve.

going to school ina town of population 600 we didnt play again "great" athletes. 8 man football type talent..

anyhow...i remember like it was yesterday first pitch was a curve and i about jump out of my shoes....."STRIKE!"


ended up getting hit 3 pitches later that didnt curve lol

[War Wagon]

I tried going to a girlfriends sons fall ball baseball game 2 months ago and one of the things I am unable to do is bite my tongue when I see poorly coached or poorly executed baseball, even if its by 9-10 year olds

So you stormed the field, exclaiming "this is fucking bullshit" and punched out the 3rd base coach, right?

[Goober McTuber]

Sorry, pops. Drawing a blank over here.

[War Wagon]

the humility is inspirational.

[Goober McTuber]

I'm here to help.

[Left Seater]

In all sports you play defense with your feet, football, basketball, hockey, baseball, it doesnt matter.

Holy crap, a solid take from Schmick.

[molly]

I can't make quinoa.

I suck at flipping eggs and not breaking the yolk.

I'm a shitty driver.

I can't fake like someone.

I don't manage my season tickets well.

I can't stay mad.

I can't get my timing right for a medium steak.

If I don't put an alarm in my phone or calendar I forget what I'm supposed to do or where to go.

[Screw_Michigan]

What is it that you don't do well?

Vet potential wives.

Admitting is the first step in recovery, Sam.

I'm in the midst of a 17 year rehab program.

Wives are overrated.

I can't seem to get any fans to show up to Stanford games.
