Name One Thing You're NOT Good At No Matter How Hard You Try

Cant believe someone else put this!

I was just about to say that I'm a qualified electrician, really good at joinery, pretty competent at plumbing but fuck me I'm absolutely useless at plastering.
Would love to be an electrician.
Joinery too.
Plumbing , I could have saved a fortune over the years..
Plasterer's are the work of the devil ( messy cunts though).
I've tried to swap know how over the years with people in the trade ( teach me how to do " x" and I'll give you a few free lessons.
Knowing what I know now being old I wish I'd of learnt a trade like that. ( just never had the time).

Trying to get my lad to learn a trade but he just wants to follow his dad's footsteps.

I don't want him to.
 
Keeping my gob shut. If I don’t like something someone’s said or done I find it a massive struggle to stop myself from ripping into them. Face to face especially. I’ve been like this since I was about 11 and I’m 71 next.

My wife said only tonight that I’m not going to mellow now at my age.
This you?

Welding - I served my apprenticeship in the shipyard then spent 3 years as a tradesman before they laid half the workforce off and I was absolutely crap at it even after those 7 years. Some people made it look incredibly easy, a bit like a natural talent for drawing but put me on the vertical or overhead then you’d better have a grinder ready cos it’d all need to come off again.

For a complete new kitchen, everything had to be taken back to the brick as it was in a dreadful state. Kitchen fitter, a carpenter by trade, was excellent at joinery, electrics, plumbing etc etc. But he brought in a plasterer. I watched in awe of his skill. Plastered the whole room perfectly in a couple of hours.
 
Reading this thread, I’m struggling to think of anything I’m not appaling at. So my answer is: everything.
