    Ok so in OT there is a monthly post where everyone lists what they are good at, now we are flipping it. Not sure if this a repost.

    I will start.

    I am absolutely awful at making layups in basketball. It started while trying out for varsity basketball junior year, and has stuck with me... dont know why, just a bad layup percentage.

    I am like 30% on swiping my credit card in the right direction when paying for things. Always seem to have to try 3 times.

    I am not a good listener when in a group. When a group of people are standing around listening to one person talk, I will zone out and not gain any of the information.

    And lastly, I am bad at comforting my girlfriend when she is upset and starts to cry. Never know what to say and often am just frustrated by the sight of her tears.

    Alright OT, drop the pride and join in.

    My short term memory is the absolute worst. I can forget shit instantly. Like walking upstairs to get something, and forgetting what I was going to get in the 10 seconds it took me to get there. I once didnt get laid because I couldnt remember a girls name. Even after she told me like 5 times.

    Its weird tho, cause my long term memory is amazing. I can remember shit people were wearing, or specific conversations from years ago (the girl whos name i forget, i could tell you what she was wearing that day, and it was like 4 years ago). Blaahhhh.

    absolutely cannot control my alcohol in a public setting.. you could offer to pay me a million dollars to wrap a perfect present, and i would fail. Credit card swipe, im at about a 50% clip. I would say cooking tops it all though.. i burn left over pizza, breadsticks.. my sandwhiches suck.. scared to make grilled cheese or mac n cheese..

    -the wrapping presents thing seems to be fairly universal. I can do origami pretty well, but put a present in the middle of it and there's a good chance it will look retarded.

    -my handwriting makes doctors proud

    -I am awful at coinflips or allins with kings. like, tens of thousands of dollars in equity awful. shit happens i guess.

    -I cook exceedingly well, but if the future of the human race depended upon my ability to flip an omelette, we'd all be dead. Eggs are a great mystery to me. I cook amazing things with them, I make creme brulee that starts wars, my eggs benedict kicks ass, my scrambles are solid, but the simple act of flipping a couple eggs without fucking it up has haunted me for years. I should probably just buy like 5 dozen eggs when they're on sale one day and make every single one and just flip and flip and flip...
