I can't wrap a present to save my life...
Always end up paying someone to do it for me...

If you hold your hands in front of you with your thumbs pointing at each other and your index finger in the “#1” sign, your left hand is the one that makes a capital L.
My present wrapping involves a gift bag and tissue paper. Problem solved. Or better yet here's money go buy what you want.
I had a buddy teach me how to tie a double Windsor knot in college. Any other method looks like a three year old tied it. I can go a year without tying one and it’s still easy, except getting the damn length right. Takes standardizing the starting point of where you hold the tie.
I have the same problem. Almost killed my wife and I in a snowstorm in the Rockies.

I can listen to the most basic step by step video explaining everything as if it were to a child and I somehow find a way to fudge it up.

Well I am not the one who can’t tell left from right. Just trying to help a brother out....🙂

Interesting. I will give this a try if I am making them for multiple people.

Hammering a nail. I have decent coordination with many other similar tasks, but when I have to actually use a hammer it’s like my brain is possessed with an extreme reluctance to actually hit the nail on the head. One of two things invariably happen...either I end up bending the nail beyond any point of usability or I smash my finger.
I had to double check this wasn’t most post from a drunken evening or something..... I’m 36 and have the same problem. I often use “the day after today” instead of messing with that cursed word
Add me to the wrapping presents list. Always cut too much or too little. Never get ends right. Usually the end product looks like something a little kid would do.
Having a regular sleep schedule. Working nights and swing shift for years it's hard to sleep being back on straight days. Probably not a simple task but one I can't get back to. This messes everything else up.
Weed eating around the edging of the house. I have no business operating a weed eater.
This video was apparently made by the guy who doesn't know his right from his left.
Juggling was part of a kids project for a class in Junior High. We all went outside and he showed us how it was done. I picked it up pretty quick.

I got pretty good when I was in college, could do 5 items as long as they were all same size & not too big (i.e. bean bags, golf balls). Got pretty good with juggling pins, but they are hard on your hands & hurt like hell if you mistime something & take it on the tip of your finger.
I can still three items easily, and with a few minutes practice can do 4. No longer quick enough hands to do 5.
I did it to impress girls at party's. After a few beers I was done. My thing was to juggle different weights and shapes at the same time. That's hard to do.

Hitting it straight and hitting it where you are aiming it are 2 different things.... VERY few people actually hit it “straight” ...even pros.
