The opposite of the 'What are you good at' thread -  is there anything you have never been able to do?

Right from my school days, I have always been worse than useless at History,  Geography,  and finding my way anywhere.    Honestly,  I could get lost in Tesco's car park without even trying!  

And all these foreign countries people talk about where there is fighting going on,  or exotic places they've been for their holidays etc,   I don't usually have a clue whereabouts they are.    I have even got one of those little 'globes'  at home,  like we used to have a school,  to see where countries are.  How sad is that!

As for history,  I don't know, without looking it up,  when historical big battles happened, or which King was married to who  etc.    
Do they even still teach these things in schools nowadays?   It will hardly help them cope with adult life later on, will it!

Multi-tasking?  P'ah!!

It just annoys me when you have two things you want to know about,  but they will only let you ask one.
Then its back to the beginning and being 20th in the queue on the phone,  or having to fill in one of those stupid Anima request things  - (which was another stupid, man made invention for their  convenience, not the patient's).   Grrr . . . . .

Have you a desire to spend more time in the kennel, JB?

Just put them on the airer or radiator or wherever you dry these things.  
Lie, goddammit.  You're a man, for heaven's sake.

😬😬

Isn't it a lovely thing, broadening one's knowledge and understanding of the world at our tender age? 😇

How can that save them time if they have to see people twice, instead of just once?

With Halloween coming, Dave decided to wear
A really daft outfit, and horns in his hair
He hoped nobody would stand on his tail
It would fall off- bought in a sale 
And put flour on his face to look  pale.


Friday again,  the end of the week
Time goes so quickly  -
Has the Earth sprung a leak?
Now the heating is on 
All our savings will be gone

Ooops, spelling!

Me neither - usually.   And that's why I knew nothing about varying sizes.  
It was only because I needed new ones, and the Halford's man asked me what size,  that it all started.

Ooh,  you're all very clever this morning.
