Wrapping presents

Drive a stick. And I don’t want to learn. 

Fold a fitted sheet. Although this is probably the hardest thing in the world.

What's a simple, every day task you're just terrible at?

For me, it's cooking steak. I couldn't cook a rare steak from a medium to well done to save my life. I grew up on my dad cooking steak rare and it fucking sucked. I cooked a steak for my wife last week and she said it was too well done. I cooked a couple last night (one to take to work tonight). I thought they were done but when I went to eat it tonight it was still pretty raw and thus trash. 

Medium heat on a gas grill, 6 min a side. Cover it with foil and let it sit for 5 min after it’s done. Should be about perfect medium temp.

roller skate correctly. It's been years but I never could do more than just push with the right leg while keeping my left stiff as a board.

quite simply, it's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma...so just ball it up and move on to the pillow cases

I mean this in the most non-sexual way possible (because why would you even do that)...but I cannot spit. I never realized I was bad at it until I started brushing my teeth in front of people and they made fun of me. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I have a good friend who is terrible at telling time, and another who is terrible at tying her shoes.

Wrapping presents

Same.

Cant make fudge ... never gets hard

Cant look behind a picture frame to hook the nail

Cant remember dates.... birthdays, wedding, event

Wrapping presents and ironing.  

I swear it looks like a 2 year old wrapped a present when I do it. My wife wraps 99% of the presents, but when crunch time for Christmas comes and she needs help...EVERYONE can tell which ones I wrapped...

my handwriting is horrible

do any side of a rubix cube

dance

Can't open a bottle effectively with a lighter. I can do it, just very bad at it. 

Roll my "r's."

I can't whistle.

yes .. I cant whistle    it sucks 

As others have said, wrapping gifts. If it is not a box, I suck at it. I giftbag most gifts.  

Names. For the life of me, I cannot remember names. I have tried the numerous tricks and tips, but no luck. I am really good at faces though. 

I can whistle. You guys aren’t missing anything.

I'm also bad with names but good with faces.

My wrapping is legendarily terrible that I don't even try.
