Really basic things you can't do or didn't know

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

I've pulled both wheels off my bike and fixed flats yet I'm unable to explain how until I have to do it again. Not even something I do regularly, I just can't remember what I do til I do it, which isn't that comforting when a puncture is the only real trouble a bike trip could have.
Spent my youth years on this one forum full of normal yet quirky guys and girls. Lots of flirting. Years pass, and while the crowd didn't, they sure passed with time itself. I see the most repulsive, selfish, unhealthy girls go from kissless virgins to 3-4 guys a week, simply because they chose to. Of course, they weren't bad looking, and they likely didn't enjoy most of those sessions, but even putting the incel hate aside for a moment, girls really do have it easier in those contexts. Even if the best available option is a Minecraft boyfriend.

I think it's just that guys are more likely to be up for both suddenly being someone's boyfriend and, well, suddenly hooking up, too. Maybe those are two different sorts of guys, though. I suppose that's why you'll never find a good man in hookup culture, yeah?


Edit: This post made me realize I have no idea how to do online dating. If the entire fucking world is going to be quarantine hell for a while more I should probably brush up on that.
 
Can't drive or ride a bike (after extensive training on both), I hold my pencil like an idiot and messed up my hands because of it. I can't whistle either. Tying knots is a hit or miss. It took me far too long to learn how to stack dishes in a way where they all fit together and weren't a mess. It also took me too long to learn how to catch a ball. My right and left are also all messed up, I assume everything is always to the right. There's probably more, but my memory is a black hole where events and information go to die.

I have literally zero idea how a washing machine is used. I can run a fucking cherry picker, BUILD a CNC machine from scratch, but the hieroglyphics on clothes and washing machines and how they correspond to the knobs.amd buttons mystify me.

Online dating is a stupid concept. You get all the annoyances of talking to women but not even getting to touch or smell them you just get to fap to their pictures while somebody else is probably doin' em.

I’m not sure if this counts, but I cannot remember names to save my life. Someone will tell me their name and I forget it half a second later.

Also, despite being comfortable tearing apart and assembling the engine of a car, replacing brake pads scares the shit outta me.
 
cant whistle or snap my fingers either

how do u do this shit
for some reason i cant use a pair of scissors either, it doesnt seem to cut when i use them. is it cause im left handed?
 
I cant ride a bike, never really bothered because growing up I never thought I would have much use for biking especially since the places I go to are rather nearby, I was scared of injuries and loved walking more.

At least can drive but only an automatic but I rarely use it, I normally drive around my village or maybe a little bit outside of it but thats it. Last time I drove was 2 weeks ago but before that, last time I drove was possibly 2019. After that I went to University where I relied mostly on my dad (his job is nearby my Uni) for transport going to school and dependending on the situation since im in the Track and Field team, I would go home eithee together with my dad, via commute by Jeepney, UV, or if I have the money, Taxi or Grab. The Pandemic didnt help much but im trying to regain confidence for the road again so I can drive myself and mom to the mall and the market.
 
I am, most likely, physically incapable of whistling or snapping my fingers. I've tried. Nothing works. Oh well.
 
I have a hard time with time. I get confused with PM and AM and can't read clocks fast.

Had that problem as a kid. Eventually figured it out. Now I prefer analog clocks over digital ones due to how long the batteries typically last in even the shittiest dollar store ones.

Start cooking ramen noodles on the stove if you feel uncomfortable scrambling eggs. Work up from there. Get a rice cooker for making rice.

Not once in my life have I managed to crack an egg without completely exploding the yolk. All my attempts to make eggs over-easy end in settling for scrambled.

I suck at analog clocks, I can read 8:29 PM and 2:08 AM perfectly fine but I cannot say the full time like "half past 9"
