Should know how to do?
What’s something you should know how to do, but don’t?
Chopsticks - I’ve tried multiple times but can’t get the hang of it.
Cartwheel - never could do stuff that requires my feet off the ground bc I’m a wuss so I never really learned.

Sew. My mom is a whiz...makes all sorts of window treatments, outfits, etc. I can barely sew a button on.
I can't make a poached egg either.

I can't do literally any of the things people have listed except drive.
There is no limit to my shortcomings.

Re: Should know how to do?
Do any kind of hair. I'm awful with any kind of hair styling.
Do eye makeup other than mascara- yeah that's a no- I look ridiculous if I attempt it
Wrap a gift so that it doesn't look like a child did it...
Sew a button

Re: Should know how to do?
For those speaking of cartwheels..
I used to be able to do a perfect one as a kid and teenager
I decided once to try it after age 40. I figured, I know how to do this, it's easy, let's go.
Yeah, um, no....
For some reason it's not a skill that stays with you like riding a bike.
Threw my back out and have had back issues ever since..
So the lesson here- don't' try it after 40.

I used to ride a bike ALL the time when I was growing up then I stopped in high school. I tried again in my 30s and kept falling down so I gave up and now I have a 3 wheel bike that I never use. I feel lame b/c it's not just like riding a bike!

Omg that's too funny.
I definitely have become way less coordinated as I have gotten older.
I probably shouldn't be on a bike either come to think of it.

To answer the question, speak up for myself and stop being so passive.
