Workplaces are often infected with such stupid bastards. Usually bosses. Some are OK though.

I'm terrible at learning from traditional lessons and lectures. In fact I'm terrible at taking in any information that goes faster than my slow-but careful communication style. My thoughts can be pretty rapid but translating other people's words into thoughts, or thoughts into words for other people, that's slow.

"customer always right". yes, he barked and swore, but he didn't do anything illegal. and it was not unreasonable for him to expect that i not drop the tool. that was the first, last and only time i dropped a tool.

He'd probably get away from it in the USA, where employers have more freedom than they do in the UK. But he might have been open to legal retribution in the UK, if it could be proved:

People drop things sometimes. It's rarely through malice or negligence. People have accidents.

Anyway, I just thought of another thing I'm bad at - asking for help. I can usually manage to do that when it's become urgent, but not otherwise.

four and a half years ago, one day: four exotic bean salads and one kit kat. within one minute, defecated in pants. tried and failed to get to the litterbox on time.

on the bus, some ass hole had the nerve to bark @ me "why would you do that? you a grown man."

that idiot had the nerve to assume that i "purposely" defecated in my pants. (subconscious assumption. just b/c *he* was not fecally incontinent, doesn't mean nobody else is fecally incontinent, s**t!).

bad at cooking

find it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep,

socially awkward
