Telling left from right without holding up my thumbs and pointer fingers to see which one makes the letter L. ^^^^ This too  |

Tying my shoes. I always have at least one shoe untied. I have double knotted and tried everthing, they always manage to untie.

I’m an adult and I’m completely incapable of reading the thread about the broken toe. When she said the nail was split and would likely have to come off I had to stop reading and back out of that thread. Made me nauseous. No can do.

Baking yeast bread. Seems so simple, yet I'm incapable of doing it. I can never get it to rise. I had to break down and buy a bread machine.

I am incapable of raising my left eyebrow. I can raise the right one; I can raise both at once, but I simply cannot raise just my left one. Neither can I. And I can't wink with my right eye |

Eating most meals without spilling something on my chest. Bwahahahaha! I immediately thought, when reading the OP, “eating anything (especially oily/staining foods) without spilling on my chest, especially when wearing a white t-shirt.” Yep... ALL of my white shirts have stains on the chest. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. It’s a running joke in my family.... |

Folding a fitted sheet. I have watched Youtube videos. I have had my mother instruct me by folding while she stands next to me and tells me what to do. The second I am faced with a sheet out of the dryer I just can't figure it out. Nobody can fold a folded sheet. It’s all a sham. Like the moon landing.  |

I like the Shout wipes better. link I often find stains on my white clothes when I use the Tide pen. Not even bleach gets it out. |

I cannot roll my tongue. When learning Spanish in HS it drove the teacher crazy.
Whenever I put on white my dh will comment “you know you can’t wear that” because I will stain it.

The second I am faced with a sheet out of the dryer I just can't figure it out. Nobody can fold a folded sheet. It’s all a sham. Like the moon landing. I gotta admit: I can. I work in a day spa and fold fitted sheets all day long and you'd think I was the Wizard of Oz the way everyone at work is in awe of me. What I can't do is tell my left from my right, as someone already mentioned. Oh, and I haven't quite learned to clean up after myself. I leave a trail of crap behind me everywhere I go. |

I have questions about not being able to tell your left from your right. Do you also have trouble with directions, like “turn left up here” or is it strictly related to identifying left and right on your body? It’s hard to understand because it seems like a memorization issue. But obviously, with it being so common, there has to be more to it.

texting and doing anything tech related. I can't even put pictures from my camera or my phone on the computer. and no clue how to add to a hard drive. I am always worried about losing my phone because I will lose pictures. So i try to leave my phone at home so I don't lose it.

Folding a fitted sheet neatly. And I also no longer care lol If anyone's scrounging around in my linen closet and judging me based on my shoddy folding of one kind of linen - they're the ones with the problem, not me. Same. I gave up on that years ago. I am incapable of pulling into a parking spot completely straight. I’m almost always a little crooked. |

Tying a decent bow. I don't' care how many times I'm shown, mine still are wrong. I can’t do that either. Nor can I wrap a package nicely. I have 10 thumbs, so I use gift bags. |

Eating most meals without spilling something on my chest. I am incapable of whistling. I’ve always wanted to do the loud ‘get your attention’ whistle. I don’t even care about whistling a tune. But in reality, all I produce is a sad little breathy wheezing sound. Folding a fitted sheet neatly. All of the above. I also can't apply eyeliner. I can't figure out how to use my Scan N Cut I can never get all my hair into a ponytail |

Lol! I currently am wearing a white tank top with a small bright orange stain on the chest, where an orange tic tac fell out of my mouth when I laughed, earlier. 😂😂😂 I laughed SO much at this! Only because I can relate! Hopefully the color matches your outfit!! I can't trim my flower beds with a weed whacker to make it look like a nice, straight edge. It looks mutilated!!! |

Hearing a double entendre and not going with the wrong meaning. I have the maturity level of a 14 year old boy. Thankfully I usually have a filter. We would get along quite well!!! |

I cannot make a cute messy bun. I don’t know if it’s the texture of my hair or that it’s not thick enough or what but mine do NOT look cute. They look awful. I’ve given up.

Washing dishes without getting water all over the floor, the counter, etc. I am chuckling about this one because my husband is the same way and I complain when my socks get wet. My best friend and her husband were staying with us for over a month to be able to visit with an ill family member and she complained about the same thing to her "second husband". LOL! There are certainly worse things you could be doing, so don't worry about it! |

I have questions about not being able to tell your left from your right. Do you also have trouble with directions, like “turn left up here” or is it strictly related to identifying left and right on your body? My sister can't tell left from right, she always has to look at her hands, and it's in any context not just on her body.
*Quick funny story- At my DDs wedding, when we were all lined up about to walk down the aisle, my sister was told to go up and sit on the the left (I can't remember but I think her DH was escorting my mom). I'm the one who told her that. Well, she went down the aisle and promptly sat on the right, on the groom's side. I get escorted to my seat and my sister's not sitting there. I look around and she's over on the other side.  Her DH of course went and sat with her. In hindsight, I should have said "go sit on the side where the string quartet is"!

Filing my nails so they have a normal looking shape and also polishing them so I don't look like a preschooler did it.
I also have trouble ascertaining my left from my right without using my hands in any situation. I have to picture my hands in my head or actually use my right hand (which is dominant) to figure out right first and either go with that for "right" or rule that one out for "left."

I can't eat without using a napkin. And I mean USING it. My husband is such a neat eater he seldom uses his. So I use his and mine, both, as I slop pasta into my pie hole. oh that's funny, this is me and I never realized its a 'thing'. It drives me nuts when DD or DH forget to grab a napkin when they eat, it's like HOW can you eat w/out a napkin? I realize I have to wipe after every bite and I wipe my hands constantly. I don't think I'm necessarily a messy eater but I can't stand the feeling of food/grease on my lips face or hands. Weird, I never realized that. I'm like that in the kitchen too. I wipe my hands after almost every action, I normally keep a towel over my shoulder or I wear an apron so I can dry my hands quicker. It drives me nuts DD doesn't do the same so our refrigerator door handle is always sticky. Wipe your hands, girl! |
