bee_yorkI really fucking hate our new vacuum. It was only $50, and now I see why. >:/ Also, it's from Wal-mart, lol. I guess that says it all right there. But when you're disgustingly short on cash and your carpet's getting dirty, there's not much you can do about it except pay the tiny fee and suck it up until you can afford better. <---OHHHHH YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE. bam-bam-CHING.
It gets full way too fast. I removed the little canister to throw out the contents and now I can't get it back on no matter how hard I try. I was sitting there on the floor getting dust all over me, knowing that Mike can just do it when he gets home. but that's not the point. The point is, why can't I figure out how to put such a shitty, simple appliance back together? I know he--or anyone, for that matter--would be able to just take it and put it back in 2 seconds. But after struggling with it for 15 minutes I finally concluded that even principles aren't worth my time.
I find a huge flaw in my thinking lies with basic common fucking sense. I've noticed that I have a really hard time putting things together. I'm not even talking about complicated Ikea shit that pisses EVERYONE off. I mean simple things, like putting an object into a box that is already designed to fit said object. I'll struggle with it for 10, 15 minutes, maybe more...and then absolutely anyone else at all will come by to help me, and do it in 2 seconds.
So it's not even getting the task done that pisses me off, it's the fact that I have so much fucking trouble completing such simple, simple endeavors. It can be something as simple or straightforward as "tilt the machine THIS way and the object will fit inside" and I'll be like OMG I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT.
I'm not kidding. I can't even count the number of times I've not been able to figure something out, when the solution all along was to just hold it at a slightly different angle.
WHY COULDN'T MY FUCKED-UP BRAIN THOUGHT OF THIS OBVIOUS LITTLE DETAIL ON ITS OWN?
It's so amazingly, unbelievably, hair-pullingly frustrating.
What are things that you can't seem to ever do properly that astounds you? What are simple, basic things that everyone else around you seems to do without any difficulty, except for you?
Or am I alone in this level of utter incompetence?
ARGH.

Date: 2010-02-03 06:34 pm (UTC)I can't cook bacon, pancakes or hamburgers. For real. They are probably the easiest things on earth to cook - I mean, what's to it anyway? Stick it in the frying pan, and flip. But I am completely unable to do it. So I've given up. If i want bacon, pancakes, or hamburgers, I'm going to a restaurant, or Dan's making it.
