One of my greatest shames in life is that I’ve never been able to do a forward roll. I can remember gym glass in elementary school being particularly traumatizing when we got to the gymnastics part of the year. Couldn’t do a forward roll, a cartwheel or anything.

I’m an Asian who won’t use chopsticks. I can do it, but not well enough to enjoy a meal. My Caucasian friends make a point of using chopsticks whenever we go to a Chinese restaurant, and they make fun of me for choosing to use a fork—but I just want to relax and enjoy my food.

Know my left from my right. Of course I know which is which, but when someone says "Take the one on the left" or "your right hand!" It stirs a complex serious of choices/questions to determine My right? Your right? Right from what/whose perspective? There is a split second of deciphering what is meant from the other person (who is almost never burdened with determining "Which right do you mean?")
It's less than a second's hesitation and unnoticed unless I ask a question for clarification, but it's always there. If I say "turn right" I always point the right that I mean or am careful to say "turn to your right"

I can’t ride a bike. It really bugs me. I’d love to be able to do it. I tried when I was a kid and it was just a disaster. I’d wobble along for a few seconds, then fall off or stop.
I’ve actually thought of trying again in my late forties, but a big fat bloke on a bicycle is an invitation to mockery.

R60 you’re flipping too fast. Even if it seems like it’s burning, it’s not. Also make sure your pan is relatively hot before pouring the eggs in. Obviously not burning but more than lukewarm. And are using butter for oil? It’s the only way to go for eggs to me. I used to suck at omelettes too ;).
