What trivial thing have put off learning for years?

For many years whenever I've put on a suite I've always fancied placing a handkerchief in the breast pocket, but not knowing how to properly fold one I've never bothered. I don't know why (maybe I was bored), but last night I found this video on YouTube and I've finally learned how to fold a handkerchief

(my favorite is the 3 point fold )

On a similar vein, I have only just learned how to tie a bow tie. I've worn one on many occasions as I used to play with a band who's uniform required one, but I always used a pre-tied one. Now I am to go somewhere really posh, I have to tie my own. And I'm drawing my pension!

It took me until after I was married before I learned how to tie a Windsor knot and I still don't know how to tie a bow.

I never learned to do a wolf-whistle with thumb and forefinger, alas.

Not particularly trivial, but I bought a banjo six years ago: it's been out of its case twice!

Next year I WILL learn to play it!
