+1 for can't click fingers. Thought i'd get all the way to the bottom of the page and be unique in this respect, but alas....

I'm not good at small talk either.
If talking doesn't serve a purpose, then there's no point doing it. However, I don't discriminate on what is deemed a 'purpose'. For example, the purpose of writing this is firstly; to answer the thread as a member of this online community, and secondly; because I find it interesting to read and compare our experiences regarding the topic of the thread.
In a face-to-face setting, if someone is talking about something that isn't of particular interest to me, I'll humour them by going along with it, because the purpose of it is social politeness.
I do have one exception ad sententia concerning 'purpose': I don't speak for the purpose of speaking. That can be difficult in certain social settings, especially when you're around people who just need to speak. Which in itself, can serve as a purpose to speak, on the grounds of social politeness. It's a vicious cycle.

Glad wrap is the devil, but I just thought it was a male thing to not be able to use it!

Make a noise when blowing my nose. Most people I know make that trumpet/elephant trunk noise when they do it. Mine just sounds like someone blowing air out of their nose.

Everybody else has beaten me but clicking my fingers as well as small talk as mentioned. There used to be a girl at primary school that couldn't blink which i thought was interesting

Small talk, as in just chatting for 20-30 minutes non-stop? (at a minimum I guess)
Nuh I'm seriously glad wrap challenged...and I used to work as a Kitchen Manager in a restaurant. Every time I did food prep I had to get someone else to wrap it for me

+1 for Glad Wrap, just can't work that s**t out
something that seems to bother the person that used to be in my life is that I apparently can survive without them - suck it!!

I have to add myself to the not being able to use glad wrap club.
Taking it as things that get used regularly it's -
1) Driving. s**t vision in right eye from birth, leaving crappy depth perception along with peripheral vision on that side made it an inadvisable choice. Also means I was / am s**t at any sport that requires catching / throwing.
2) Small talk. Doing a meeting where I'm all across what's to be discussed and no problem. Someone I don't know start a conversation on something I like or talking to someone I know has common interest(s), no problem. Random talk with someone I either don't know or who has no common interests, look like an awkward mute as everyone else chats away.
