Things you are bad at but shouldn't be.

Telling Left from Right without making my left hand into a little L

I should be really good at profiling, but suck at it.

Even though I am a clinical psychologist, I absolutely suck at giving advice to friends.  I usually give crap advice to friends/family as they wouldn't want to hear the real answer that I would have for them.

having a bbs personality that i enjoy.

Ironing

Yeah me too

Ironing

Yeah me too   

Ironing is tedious and boring, of course you should be bad at it.

Running.  Played soccer for years and did a lot of running obviously.  But I just can't lace up the ole Asics and get out there for a jog.  Hate it.

remembering names. even during movies sometimes i have to keep imdb open so i can be sure i know who a character is talking about.

the thing is, i'm absolutely fantastic at remembering faces.

I'm the opposite. Can't remember faces to save my life. Everyone pretty much looks the same to me. But if they're like "remember, we talked last Sunday?" I'll be like "Oh yeah, Paul. Of course I remember you."

I do have people come up to me on the reg and they're all " Hey, Jtksu, how's it going?"  and I'm all "Good to see you... buddy."   But that's usually people I met while boozing.

I have this problem big time.  I do something when meeting ppl that helps.  When I met them I would say "good to meet you, (their name here)."  Seems like repeating it helped keep it in my head for a little while longer.  The only problem is that when meeting more than a couple ppl at a time, it 1. sounds a little autistic and 2. I still end up losing a couple of names out of the large group.

The reason why you can't remember names is because you are a terrible listener who doesn't listen to what other people have to say. When you have conversations with people, and they are talking to you, you aren't listening. You are only kind of listening. Mostly, you are waiting for their lips to stop moving so YOU can start talking again.

The same thing happens when someone tells you their name. Their lips are moving, but you aren't paying attention when they say, "Hi, my name is John." You are already geared up for telling them who YOU are.

Here's a tip. When someone tells you their name, LISTEN! Then, before you tell them YOUR name, say something like, "Hi, John, nice to meet you. My name is Emaw."

You will never forget their name again.

Wow! I think I pretty much plagiarized you.

very bad at noticing my surroundings. like, hey when did we get that big plant in the living room that i sit in every single day? oh, a month ago? really? hmmmm.

bad at only having two drinks. like i can go a week without having a drink, but if i have two then i really want to have five or six.

Message boarding.  I dig the Cats, I dig talking about sports with bros, but I'm a terrible poster.

finishing things. i get 90% done with pretty much anything and i'm done. last 10% is just impossible.

[j rake]

My signature is like a fingerprint. No two signatures are the same.

I sign my name differently every time. It's so pathetic and embarrassing.

[KITNfury]

Being motivated when I don't have much to do. I kick serious rough ridin' ass when there's a lot of crap on my plate, but if there is something at work due in a couple days and it will only take me 4 hours to do, I prolly ain't starting it until the day it's due or maybe the day before if I'm really being a go-getter.

Also staying of the BBSes while at work when I'm not really busy.

starting things. take your pick, i will avoid starting it. but once i start it, i'm pretty much a 'give 110%' and 'not done until it's finished' kind of guy.

So this for me. I think I may decide to have a "mark" and not a signature. Some super dope symbol that becomes my signature.

I always wondered what would happen if I became a pro athlete with a valuable autograph, and people tried to authenticate my signature for buying/selling purposes. What a nightmare that would be.

I can't write my name the same way on a lined piece of paper. I'd hate to see what it'd look like on a baseball.

Good thing we both avoided the nightmare of becoming legendary athletes.

Being more outgoing.. I feel like I should be, but most of the time I don't feel like the small talk crap.
