What are you bad at?

[Accy cyclist]

Dancing. Hate it with a passion, I’d rather have my balls nailed to a plank with rusty nails than get up on the dance floor.

Me too! I just don't see the point of it. Maybe doing it professionally to make money, but doing it for 'fun', no way! When I was much younger and single, I hated going to nightclubs and being asked for a dance. I'd make excuses up like I'd broken my ankle and didn't want to risk it. I just do not have or ever had the urge to move here and there, moving my arms etc to some musical beat. I much prefer to listen to music rather than make an idiot of myself attempting to dance to it!

I was/am the same. Over the years I've tried but felt like im standing there waving my arms and legs while everyone stares at me.
Once, on holiday, after a few drinks was "dancing" (loose term) with Sue when a waiter said to my daughter......hey, your Mama is 👍.....your Papa is 👎. That became the family phrase for years.

@Accy cyclist

I once won a dance competition as a pup at some sort of party/'fun' event, purely because I copied what the people running it did.

Aged about 7 and a half, that was the absolute pinnacle of my dancing 'career'! 😆

Even tapping the rythm of a music piece is difficult for me.

But if you think that I can't dance, then you should hear me sing.

I am sure I probably could dance if I had lessons, it's just it was never taught/deemed important enough (except for occasionally Highland Dancing at School (with girls; ewww, the HORROR!! 😆), for Ceilidhs and so on).

Overthinking things. Not sure if i should share this. *Yes i need to - it might provide clarity. **But if i don't maybe i can deal with it. ***Its the Engineer in me considering every possible aspect of everything. ****Maybe i just need to switch off.......blah blah

Whereas I love dancing.

I met my wife at a Ceilidh, I do Morris dancing as one of my main hobbies, and used to do Welsh dancing as well.

I find it very hard to NOT tap the rhythm to music.

But if you think that I can't dance, then you should hear me sing.

You definitely shouldn't hear me sing

Bet I'm worse!!!

I certainly have no sense of rhythm
and my singing voice has been banned under the SALT2 treaty

My wife has perfect pitch and can sing properly - although never does
she regards me singing as an offence against the Nature

We could/maybe should form a duet. There must be an opening.
Now, we need think of a name!!

We could hire our talents out to clear pubs at closing time!!

 

[tyred]

I'm not good with anything involving heights. I get in a panic walking on thick carpet.

I'm not good with any kind of confrontation.

I can dance however!

Keeping my flat tidy is something I'm not very good at. When I was more able I'd vacuum and dust my whole flat every fortnight. Now I'm less able I can only do the visible bits, having to ignore the out of sight, out of mind bits. Last night I saw this massive spider's web on a hard to reach wall on my staircase. I couldn't reach it with my slightly expandable duster, but got it by wrapping it round my walking stick. It must be the the biggest spider's web I've ever found in my flat! The top photo shows where it was. Imagine it stretching from that shelf to that corner where both walls meet.

This is the offending object!

It must've been about 4.5 foot long, going off the number of times I had to wrap it round my walking stick!

The spider is saying

"Oi, give that back, that's for catching my tea with!" 😆

I do have some impressive spider's webs too, but I just leave them (unless I accidentally walk into one /they are in the way, of course) , they are generally there for a reason and I really don't mind spiders anyway.
