How is it that so many people out there who insist that they are absolute rubbish at everything and anything with no talent at all somehow find that the 'one' thing that they 'can' actually do well, convienently earns them their living with a shed load of cash besides.
The only bit of DIY I can do is the first bit where you find the phone number of the relevant expert. Can't even call them because I can't explain what needs doing!
I can't sleep when flying. I'm famous for falling asleep immediately after landing, but never before.
I can't read when in a moving vehicle on the road. Trains and planes fine, but not even on a coach.
+ 1 to dieting, throwing and catching and tennis. I was having lessons and the instructor had to stop and throw a beanbag to me to catch to check my co-ordination was as crap as he thought it was. It was, he told me to find another sport. I'm also crap at watching films, I will nearly always fall asleep before the end, even at the cinema. Mr F doesn't take me to the cinema any more.
No I'm talking about people who have zero practical skills, no physical ability, appear to have limited knowledge of just anything you can think of but for some inexplicable reason only seem able to function effectively in an employment/earning capacity.
Another way of putting it is 'How can someone be good at their job when totally shit at everything else?'
Maybe that's why they're crap at everything else - they've spent years focusing on whatever specialised stuff they need to know for their high paying job!
I'm rubbish at chess. Understand the moves etc and have played it loads and really enjoy it, but everyone always beats me.

You could say that about certain athletes, artists, musicians too ... they can be amazing at kicking a ball/playing guitar but would be fired on their first day if they were working in 'normal' jobs - they just have an obvious talent instead of a talent for administration or whatever.
I can't say no, sometimes I put myself in bad situations because I can't tell someone to stop whatever they are doing because I don;t want to upset them or cause trouble..
The other day I was shopping with my older sister and my neice and was feeling quite ill, despite me telling her she ontinued shopping, (as all women do) and I just couldn;t bring myself to telling her I really had to leave. She would say "Is it ok if I go to xxxxx?" and I would be like, "yeah ok, but I don't feel great".
Maybe it's me being soft or she was just inconsiderate, but I do it all the itme lol
I think that I have never mastered the art of kissing!
I have always wondered about film scenes where girls go crazy . No girl has even volunteered to teach me. There are no bad teeth or bad breath problems. I just don't seem to have the magic.

I can't see much with my glasses off, as my prescription is about 10.5 in one and 12 in the other.
