Scott and SadieIf you’ve ever been to a backyard barbecue with someone who hasn’t done much grilling . . . this should resonate.
There’s a viral thread on social media where people are talking about things people underestimate . . . but are actually very hard to do well. Here are some of the best ones:
1. Driving . . . Everything about it: Defensive driving, maneuvering in traffic, having a “feel” for how big your vehicle is, being “predictable,” and parking.
2. Substitute teaching.
3. Home cooking, and creating a new recipe.
4. Making a sandwich . . . A toddler can make one, but seriously, toddler-made sandwiches are disgusting.
5. Starting and running a business . . . especially in the food industry.
6. Fast food register worker, and even more-so for drive-thru . . . Someone said, “Have you ever been served by somebody who is actually good at it? It’ll reinstall your faith in humanity.”
7. Being able to give good instructions . . . Like a new task at work, a project at home, how to get somewhere, or how to help with something.
8. Anything that involves dealing with a random bunch of people.
9. Dancing.
10. Singing.
11. Public speaking.
12. Photography . . . Especially over the past decade, as smartphone cameras have made a lot of people feel like pro photographers.
13. Bagging groceries. Well, okay. But the stakes aren’t sky-high here . . . UNLESS you just splurged on a carton of eggs.
14. “Casual” sports like golf and bowling.
15. Hacky-sack.
