Pro tip... it is easier to fish out shell bits WITH the remaining egg shell- easy peasy vs trying to fish out with a finger or a spoon.
Also crack on a flat surface (e.g., countertop), rather than the edge of the counter or side of a bowl.

This. My wife calls it male pattern blindness. I once wandered around my shop for ten minutes trying to find my reading glasses. They were on my head.

Took me many years to figure that one out.

Boiling eggs. I’m no chef but I know my way around a kitchen, but boiling eggs is my kryptonite.

Ratchet straps like you use to tie down things on a trailer.

I get flop sweats just thinking about them.

IN middle school, I tried to fight a kid for stealing my backpack. He wasn’t taking me serious when I demanded it to be returned.



It was in my back.

I can only get it right the first time I use a new one. After that it’s a disaster

Putting on a t-shirt with the front facing back.

It’s a 50/50 chance to get it right and I get it wrong 100% of the time.

Use sheet rock anchors. All types. The Molly bolts, the large plastic screw types… I’ll end up with a 1/2” hole in the wall 7 out of 10 times if there’s no stud or sheeting. Thankfully my house is old and has tongue and groove fir behind 85% of my walls.

Wet your finger to finish and use a wet cloth to wipe excess.

Boiling eggs? Get an egg cooker. Sits on the counter. Mine can boil (I guess it really steams the eggs rather than boils them. . . the water in the contraption is almost nil ) up to a dozen at a time. Perfect every time.

After having a beard for decades, I still suck at trimming a beard.
