I avoid it like the plague.


On a related note... parallel parking.

I'm a better driver than my wife, in general, but she parallel parks better than me.

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


I think I can but I'm apparently not great at it.

I was wrapping a birthday present for my GF once and one of the women I managed at the time kicked me off and wrapped it for me.

She said I was wrapping it like a man. (How else was I supposed to wrap it?)

Any kind of painting

Same. Even just painting a wall. I end up with more paint on me and the floor than on the wall. I have no explanation.

Did you get accused of cheating when she was opening it?

Washing dishes by hand.

When we first got married I volunteered to wash dishes one night after supper. I dropped and broke into a thousand pieces one of our wedding present China dinner plates.

My wife was furious about it and finally told me if I dropped another one of our dishes again she would not let me wash dishes again.

The next night as I was washing dishes and I looked around and my wife was in the dining room.

I dropped another dish. OOPS!

I never washed dishes again. *giggle*

Frying eggs.

They’ll taste fine, but always look like shite.

Nah. She was a former coworker (dated her after she left) so she probably just assumed I got one of the women to wrap it so it would look nicer.

Parking in a parking lot. I can never cut my wheel right to get in between two parked cars so I always park in the back.

I'm good at it and miss it. I never get the chance to do that anymore.

I'm bad at putting fitted sheets on a bed. It's harder for me than it should be and quite frustrating.

Saran wrap, even the boxes with the slide cutter. I waste more than I use.

Same boat. Wife lived in nyc for 25 years with a car. She can fit the car in spaces that I wouldn’t even consider even if I had another 3 feet
