Author Topic: The one thing you wish you were better at. Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-20-2009 02:15 PM                        What's the one thing you wish you were better at? I guess you can cheat and list more than one thing if you need much improvement. For me, it is parallel parking. I really suck at it. I need two empty spaces right next to each other in order to successfully park on the street.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

My wife is great at both and I suck at both. To me the two things are similar and basically caused by shyness, so I wish I wasn't so shy. (It cost me a lot of fun times with girls when I was younger, too!)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-20-2009 07:44 PM                     I wish I were better at Nuclear Physics!

I impress my DriversED teach with my parallel parking - even on the left side of a one way street in a "road locomotive" that could just barely fit between two parked cars.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 02-20-2009 08:25 PM                     Time management and staying focused on a task.

Actually yes, I would like to improve my bitch-ness side. I'm too much of a pushover and pleasent toward people. I would like to grow a backbone in certain situations and just say NOOOOOOOO, damnit!

But then I've been driving nearly 61 years. What I have trouble with is remembering technology details. But then I am nearly 77 years old.  |  IP: Logged
