Okay, time for everyone to spill their guts…
Are there certain life skills that most adults have…except you, who are totally clueless? Maybe changing a tire? Cooking even the most basic meal?
A Twitter user shared this post and it set off an epic thread where people came clean about what they don’t know how to do.
Yesterday we learned that our landlord (a Stanford-educated engineer) doesn't know how to open a combination lock. And Joel admitted he can't blow up balloons. So now I'm obsessed with knowing what everyone's weird life skill blind spots are.

Here are some of the best responses.
1. Keep trying!
I live this thread! I can't hook my bra behind my back. I hook it in front and scurry it around.

2. Might want to work on that
I have no idea how to make small talk.
Someone says "What's new?" and my brain just goes blank. Can't remember anything that's happened recently or what my upcoming plans are, grasp desperately for anything to talk about, panic, drown.

3. I can’t either…
I can't cornrow or whistle that 2-finger whistle to save my life.

5. Where am I?
I'm so bad at navigation that my friends use my gut feeling as an indicator of the wrong/opposite direction to go

6. Panic-inducing
I overthink the arrival vs departure areas at airports. You're always arriving, even when you're there to depart. Perhaps someone else is arriving, only to later depart. It's a panic inducing couple of min.

7. That’s kind of hard TBH
I'm not great at estimating distances or square footage. "Oh, it's about 40 yards away." "Yeah, they just bought a 5,000-square foot house." Shh.
Also, that trick of creating curls or waves with a flat iron? I'm convinced it's fucking sorcery.

10. 0% success rate
Parallel parking. Every time, 0% chance of success. We’ll just have to park six blocks away and walk.

11. The videos aren’t helping
I can’t fold fitted sheets. And the YouTube instructional videos don’t help.

12. Let me explain…
The billing lady at my OB tried to explain something about my insurance deductible for about 20 minutes and I almost cried. You could explain deductibles 1000 times to me and I’ll understand it for about 30 seconds, tops.
