Business & Finance Everyday things you struggle with

[Ben the Gooner]

For me it's shaving cream. ****ing shaving cream.

For the life of me, I can't put it on without ending up with more on my hands than on my face. And it's always spread too thinly on my neck and too thickly on my cheeks. Certainly doesn't make the hassle that is shaving any more enjoyable.

 

[Messenger]

Shaving gel, Ben. Much better.

 

[Notorious_29]

Closing the garage door when I leave the house. I always get 50m down the road and go, shit did I close it or not. Have left it open quite a few times, not sure why I always forget.

[Rack Watts]

I don't notice mess.




Apparently.

 

[Gus]

Ironing shirts. Always iron out one side but the creases just appear on the other. When I turn the shirt over to iron out that crease it just does the same thing. Also struggle to get a perfect job.

 

[Dan Moody]

Brushing my teeth.
I always end up with a mouth full of foam and have it dribbling down my toothbrush and hand. ****ed if I know how people in ad's manage just a small spit instead of the dribble I end up with

 

[Coledinho]

Making my bed. I literally cannot do it. Roomate has to do it for me

Same with me. Although I dont like my bed made. But my girlfriend insists on doing it every day.

 

[bontshow]

Carrying things whilst opening doors. Always manage to drop something.

Soap and hot water rubbed in by hand and away you go for as good a clean shave as you'll get. Shaving cream is a con.

I struggle with hand writing. Glad it isn't as everyday as it used to be.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Dropping a fork or a knife on the rug when I eat dinner. At least twice a week my fork or knife will drop from the table or from my plate onto the rug and end up with fluff all over it, forcing me to go to the kitchen and clean it or get a new one.

 

[kwame]

My hand writing is atrociously bad

 

[Swanny36]

It's not an everyday thing for me anymore, but when I was in retail (I'm going to sound really dumb here but anyway ) I could never work the EFTPOS machine properly.
Not just that either, but EVERYTHING in retail I just found extremely difficult.

Still have no idea why.

Why do people make their beds? If you've got company coming over then fair game but every other day ... why? You're just gonna mess it up again

I mean like washing the sheets then putting them back on again. I can sit there for an hour and still not be able to do it (may have done this before)

My girlfriend watched me making my bed and got a shock when I climbed into the quilt cover in order to distribute the quilt to all the corners.

I do this. It works so well that my girlfriend has now also started to do it.

I do that too- I don't know why she was shocked. It's the easy way.

This, and going to bed too late

I tell my mum this...

She cracks the shits at me.

 

[Bomber Bears]

Handwriting. Mine is disgraceful. Get home from lectures and cant always make out what i've written down.

Getting out of bed/going to bed, pretty average at both of them

 

[BarneyBent]

Handwriting.

Reading quickly (not that I struggle reading, I'm a very good reader, but if I read too quickly I just zone out, and before I know it I've read 2 pages and have no idea what I just read; the only way I can make sure I'm actually paying attention is if. I. Read. Each. Word. Individually. And. Slowly.)

Completing books (once again, not that I struggle reading, but often, as soon as I put a book down, I forget about it, then the spell is broken, and I start a new one, and the pattern repeats).

Getting things done on time (absolutely SHOCKING. Some people think they are bad procrastinators, and then they meet me).

Keeping my room tidy. This is the big one. It boggles my mind how people keep their rooms clean. For me, no matter how hard I try, there will alwaysbe shit just scattered around, clothes on the floor, bed unmade. I am a little bit of a hoarder, but not drastically so. I just cannot keep my room tidy. Same with my car.

Getting up in the morning is nearly impossible for me. I have to set about 5 alarms. Since getting glandular fever, I also go through periods of unrefreshing sleep, so I basically wake up still feeling like it's bed time. It's horrible.

 

[WCErevival]

Yeah I have problems keeping my house tidy. Just live in my own filth all week then do a big clean. After a day its a pigsty again. I once had friends come over without warning and I had to turn them away because of the state of the house

 

[smiddaz123]

Tidy rooms piss me off. I keep mine messy on purpose. Much more laid back and relaxed feeling than a room which has everything perfect.
