	anything scripted in any way. you can hear me reading it even when i have it memorized. my hands start to do annoying what is natural anyway? is this natural? shit like going in and out of my pockets over and over or doing weird gestures, completely out of my control. it's the most stilted shit in the world.

	honestly too real!! i am fine until i actually think about it and then it’s all a dummies guide to what are hands and how humans use them (Reply to this) (Parent)

	getting photographed on red carpets (what do i do with my hands/arms), and following visual maps. show me a map or gps and say, get from here to here, and i have no idea. but tell me, go up four blocks, take a left, go three more blocks and turn right, i'm fine. who knows. i rely too much on my car's direction system.

	bardots 2021-01-12 03:45 pm UTC (link)
	that’s exactly how i need directions!! except also with vague points of interest? like turn left at the building with giant graffiti of a dick and then you’ll see a pub called the clam shanty, etc. will you get one of those cars that drives on it’s own eventually?

	i'm fucking awful at cutting bigger fruits, it just looks like a pile of rejects. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bardots 2021-01-12 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	the question on this is do you have surgical precision on smaller fruits? neatly cut lemons, perfectly trimmed kiwis, etc? but honestly this feels like the sort of anti-talent that would absolutely infuriate my perfectionist of a mother and i am therefore in support. do you have type a tendencies that make it drive you insane??

	i am and probably always will be shit at parallel parking without an assist of some sort. i'm also bad at remembering people's phone numbers but like, everyone's bad at that nowadays, right? we all rely on names in our contacts list?? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bardots 2021-01-12 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	honestly, if someone pulled the billy eichner for $5 name a phone number i’d probably just say 999 and call it a day. I AM A WOMAN OF THE FUTURE, I HAVE TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT ME. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stealth. i don't know if it's a lack of skills or just general bad luck but i always get caught when i'm trying not to get caught. i've told people before, like, if i'm ever part of a heist i'd have to be the sacrificial pawn or the decoy or something because i am going to get caught. i'm just no good at sneaking. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	bardots 2021-01-12 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	i am requesting examples of this because, well, i went pro in sneaking but also i need to know how badly it went for this to be the go to 👀👀👀 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ok but is it all compliments or just you know, certain ones? someone being deeply genuine about how much you mean to them and how wonderful you are etc vs. someone saying you smell like new car smell and promises. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	my short-term memory is atrocious. embarrassing memory from when i was five and walked into the wrong wc at school? locked and loaded. the sentence the person i'm speaking to just repeated to me for the third time? i know i heard it, but i cannot for the life of me remember what the fuck was said (Reply to this) (Thread)

	i was going to say human relations but i paused and wondered: is anyone actually good at it? but driving. i should be forbidden to get behind the wheel for everyone's safety, and yet here i am holding out my license which was obtained after the fourth try. do you remember your phone number?
