What do you struggle with inexplicably?

For me, children's names. It shouldn't be this hard. Hopefully have a new sandwich consumer arriving December. Can't for the life of us come up with a name.

That and eating yoghurt. Always end up on my tie or lap.

Time travel, or the concept of it. I still can not figure out Interstellars ending..

Also, light.. not only Light Years (which confuses the heck right out of me) but I struggle with the concept of how the Sun radiates light..

Faces. And names. I'm rubbish at recognising people, basically.

seeing the world via colleagues and managers that I am supposed to influence, just rubbish, others seem to get it straight away but I'm much more foot in mouth. tell it like it is.

Filling up my Evoc bladder!

The black plastic slidey thing seems to inexplicitly jam almost every time I try to seal it up and the pipe is inexplicitly difficult to connect again if I disconnected it. Useless thing.

Remembering who people are if they don't have their bike with them, if they do have the bike then it's 14764% easier.

We had the same issue as the OP when we had kids, we didn't give my son a middle name just in case we had another boy, cos we only had two boys names we liked!!

Spose we could have just reversed them.

Remembering names and shopping items.

Worked in a very busy pub in Malvern many moons ago so lots of people know me by name, I know most of those people as 'mate'.. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Saying 'No' to stuff that you know is a good idea and in an ideal world you'd enjoy... but that you also know that you absolutely 100% don't have the time to commit to doing it properly so you'll probably let them down and it won't end up being a good idea. This is true^3 hard for family or mates stuff.

Dried on Weetabix, hardest substance known to man, if I could just work out how to make chainrings out of it I'd be rich, I tell you, rich!

For me, children's names.
when they were little the amount of times I'd end up cycling through their names before I got to the right one to berate them is innumerable
"Oi J, S, no C what are you doing?"

You'd also need a chain and therefore cassette made out of it, it would eat through that puny steel in no time!

Breaking in new work boots, takes months of pain, blisters and sore feet, only for them to be transformed overnight to the most comfortable things you could ever put on your feet, for only the next day to have them fall to bits! You are then back to square one, new boots, pain, blisters, etc

The acceptance of and the existence of superfluous soft furnishings, chintzy hotel rooms that look like Spandau Ballet did the decor...........it must cease!!!

Getting a six year old to put his shoes on.

When I finally achieve this seemingly impossible task i'm always just a tiny bit disappointed that I don't win a crystal......

The wife moans about how I put towels onto the towel rail

She has shown me, countless times, how to fold them in the way she'd like and she makes it look really easy.

I just can't do it ๐Ÿ™„
