For me it’s using packing tape, those small rolls around cheap plastic with a little built in cutter.

I can’t seem to ever roll enough out, and after I cut it, the remaining always stick to each other, so I have to try to peel it to restart it.

Opening a bandaid without tearing it, wrapping a gift, my opening an envelope skills aren’t much to be fond of either.

Wrapping a gift. Everybody knows that white men can't wrap.

Making an edible potato salad. Seems like the simplest thing, but I never can get the consistency right.

Sheetrock anchors. Any an all types make me feel like a complete idiot. At least 50% of the time I end up with nothing but a huge hole in the wall.

Any kind of painting. It all ends up looking like modern art.

using an electric can opener.

Dad, a pilot who flew in three wars, had the same problem. It is genetic, apparently.

Cooking and cleaning, which is why I only eat restaurant food and use a maid service.

Pretty sad and pathetic actually

Tearing foil perfectly. I could try for days and never tear it without getting to the end and ripping it into some failed shape
