    Tying my shoes. I couldn't tie my shoes till I was 10 or so, and I still suck at it.

      Yes, this exactly. I've always had trouble maintaining the tension in the knot when I go to make the loops. I end up getting them tied good and tight once, then putting them on like slip-ons until they eventually come undone.

      Same as me! I still can only tie the knot with bunny ears! :D

          that's a great tutorial, but for some reason, his concept of forward and backward bothers me.
