This will probably sound stupid

I'm ok putting the washing in the machine. It all goes in together on a certain cycle. However I get flustered about hanging it out on the clothes horse. My cleaner hangs it out on a Monday and my stepdaughter on a Friday. I like to stick to those two washing days.

I feel your pain. There's something about that particular job that seems to involve a lot of planning. It's a bit like playing tetris.

Talking about Tetris: I tried http://www.goodoldtetris.com/ and could only get 170 .

I guess we all have our own issues which each of us individually find extremely challenging.

For me it's very easy to think how pathetic/no good/useless I am because I find a lot of practical things very challenging .

Knowledge is power FM , and with your newly gained knowledge you can usually work out why you find things challenging.

Quite! That's why I'm really bad at tetris... I need the time to figure things out.

I thought I broke my brain once due to Tetris , I had Tetris syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect

I used to play a game called Burnout and one aspect of the game was crashing your vehicle and trying to cause a pile up to cause the most destruction possible. Vehicles were assigned different values with Oil Tankers being worth a million points.

When driving on the motorway I would find myself working out the best angle to crash into any Oil Tanker I saw to cause the most devastation.

Death Race 2000?

Apparently, fantasies of destruction are quite common while on boring journeys... especially on trains. I used to look out of train windows and fantasise I was in control of a machine gun turret on the roof, shooting hordes of mutants/zombies that were swarming towards the train. That was before you could do that sort of stuff on a computer... long before Space Invaders was invented, in fact.

I still play Death Race 2000 in my head lol over 75 years old 100 points

Wow your imagination sounds fantastic.

I always struggle putting a duvet in it's cover , I'm like this

That’s why I like comforters

That looks like me trying to bag up the rubbish.

My cleaner changes my duvet cover etc every fortnight. I think I put my poor practical skills down to a mix of probable dyspraxia , probable learning difficulty(low non-verbal/performance/spatial IQ) executive functioning deficit(organising,planning,multi step tasks) and general lack of common sense.

I suck at abstract,diagrammatic, inductive and spatial reasoning . Based on various online tests = 13.04%,19.30%, 23.32% and 16.72% .

My spatial skills are also very poor. I was a complete failure at any spatial task on a performance test, even though I aced verbal tests and general knowledge.
