Simple For You, Not Me General Chat Golden Threads

[Dylan]

Are there any things that are generally seen as simple by others that you struggle with?

For example, it takes me ages to open bin liners. Just this morning it must have taken me at least 15 minutes to manage to open a black bag when changing the rubbish. It feels like I've no grip on my fingers, I can't click my fingers so I've generally put my inability to perform a simple task down to this but it can be quite embarrassing when asking people in work to open up a bag for me

Can't peel a spud with a knife. Dont judge me.

I can't tie balloons for some bizarre reason.

Thank god I'm not the only one.

Can't blow bubbles, with bubble gum either.

Operate a tin opener. A lefties kryptonite.

Mrs Bandit would add, replacing an empty toilet roll.

This stresses me out to no end, pity there's no duvet cover changer service that comes to your door.

Anyway, another one for me is sleep, although things are improving lately.

Another one is losing the end of the sellotape.

I can do garbage bags (as we call them in Canada) but the little transparent bags for putting fruit and vegetables in at the grocery? It's like an epic struggle.
