"I can't get the butter right to the edges of the bread.
"
Right?!!! Why is it so fucking hard???!!
I can't tell my left from right half the time. Sad, but true. |

"Also use the fork in my left hand as I’m supposed to I use it In my right hand "
Me neither.
It actually seems counter-intuitive to me to use my non-dominant hand to bring food to my mouth.
I'm right handed, so the fork goes in my right hand. My dominant hand. The hand I use all the time for pretty much everything else. Including writing. It's the hand I have the best motor control over.
So folks use their left hand for a fork seems completely bonkers to me.
Also, cutting food with your dominant hand on a fork, holding the food down is so much easier. |

Same, except the food cutting with a fork; I’m also supposedly left-handed in archery, but I do well enough right-handed so I just stick with what I’m comfortable with. |

Yes totally this is me. I’m pretty much useless trying to do most things with my left hand lol. Half my food would fall off the fork before I got it to my mouth lol |

"Is there anything easy that you can't do"
Idle chit chat. I just don't get it. I know it's supposed to be an ice-breaker and put people at ease, but I just cannot do it.
When it's done to me, my immediate thought is, "What is this person's ulterior motive ? Why are they being overtly friendly ? No one is *that* friendly. Apart from sociopaths and street magicians"

"Do a job with someone watching  "
Do almost anything with someone watching! My motor skills leave me, I can’t speak properly and I blush brighter than a sunburned botty cheek. Which is why I don’t cam…  |

Yup ! I tried once or twice. It looked like a horde of chimps had come over for a dinner party. Not a pretty sight !  |

"Swallow tablets  "
As someone that has to take many tablets daily, I find the easiest way is to take them with food. Chew a mouthful then (discreetly) press the tablet(s) into the food bolus, then away you go. Alternatively take a small mouthful of water, head up and open your mouth as if to gargle then drop the tablet(s) in and swallow as they go in.
You’re welcome. |

Swallow like a normal person (noooo…not what you think!!  )
I can’t swallow water/juice just like that. I have to suck it through my teeth. My dentist hates me for it |

Can’t ride a bike.
Refused to go near my first ever bike without the stabilisers on and then didn’t have another bike between the ages of 5 and 12.
Tried at the latter age….wobbled, stopped, wobbled, stopped, wobbled, fell off. Couldn’t be arsed, the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.
My legs worked, as did buses and trains. |

"Get a meet on fab"
That's not easy, it takes time and effort
I can't toast bread evenly from top to bottom. My toast always turns out well done at one end and pale at the other no matter what way I put the bread in |

Cook eggs 
Never made scrambled eggs; attempts at omelettes come out flat & grey; boiled eggs, even with the cooking gadget, undoubtedly I have to use a slotted spoon to put them back in the water to cook some more when top sliced off. |

"That loud whistle when you put your fingers in your mouth. touche I have tried no luck it's a great skill to have xx "
I can do this. Dad taught me when I was about 10. He can make the same noise without using fingers, I can't do that.
I can't click my fingers. |

"According to the Mrs, make the bed correctly! 
"
Is it fundamentally made properly, but you fail to put all the faffy cushions back in the right place?
My argument in that position is that the bed is made, but it's not my job to decorate it. |

Right now I'm finding it hard to get hold of any 40mm waste pipe. Getting hold of it should be dead easy, but it's the latest commodity to be in short supply. If you are sitting on any, name your price, that's dead easy. |

"K will vouch for my non- throwing skills. Watch where you're stood, regardless of direction 
C"
I can very much vouch for that…no ones safe
I can’t swim more than two lengths without feeling like I’m out of breath (that’s with breathing as I’m swimming!).
Can run a marathon but can’t get my head round breathing properly whilst swimming

I'm not joking! I'm really heavy! I'm 5ft 10 and fairly curvy, plus apparently made of a dense substance (that's the excuse I'm sticking with ) |

Draw naturally.
Play Sport.
Dissect Frogs.
Culminating to the point where in school I told the art teacher my time was wasted in Art, that it was a frivolous and highly subjective subject, and my time would be better spent doing self-study in science, or English Language.
Fortunately for them, they agreed.
I explained to the Sports Teacher that whilst there was some physical merit in kicking a football, rugby ball or running cross-country, I had excelled in these and felt no need to keep proving it. Perhaps it was time to let others have their spotlight ? Plus, I could use the extra time for self-study in science or Eng. Lang.
They let me drop that too.
Dropping Biology was easy. I refused to dissect a frog on moral grounds and never went back to that class either. Extra time for Science and Eng. Lang.

Remember song lyrics, even though I've played them for years
Write neatly
Use a skipping rope, my abdomen wants to tear itself from my ribs
Breathe and run
Remember more that 3 things at once
Sleep
Wake up, full of energy
Pull on FAB again. (feel free to correct this one, the above are all lost causes)
Oh yeah, this one too: find an NHS dentist. |

Well done you. I told my games teacher that I was much better doing cross country, than wasting time chasing a stupid football or rugby ball. One size doesn't fit all.
I got my way and ran for my town a few times. 7 minute mile on the mud if you're asking. |

Congratulations and well done for sticking up for yourself. I wish more kids did.
7 min mile on mud is impressive. I actually did like cross-country very much and competed at county level a few times. I just got bored coming first all the time, and then felt sad for the others who didn't have a chance. Sometimes you have have to quit when ahead.

Thanks.
The fact that I was misdiagnosed with exercised induced asthma from the age of 11 did not help, nor did the fact that those meds had no effect either. |
