same here. $13 for the haircut though.
3 32 inch LCD TV's hanging from the ceiling and lots of dead stuffed animals in the room.
Things that seem simple to others that you find confounding:

- Start date

Maff...specially Kollege Algeebra. The one thing standing between me and world domination...
What about this: The dude's drive train failed as he was riding that rock section". how is understanding that any different than understanding that his drive train didn't fail? I find your confoundment confounding.
I had math issues in HS because I just hated being there so badly, but when I really sat down, and really tried to get all the concepts, things got alot easier for me. Wife gave me that advice of trying to treat problems like little puzzles, and in that way it's become kind of fun...dare I say enjoyable.. all the small victories.
Toilets.....I hate how they always make my hair wet....
Coming from the riding heart monitor huh?
you can avoid this problem if you pee through your hosiery
Math. any kind, doesn't matter how easy the kids say it is. I'm a picture guy.
Holiday dates. I can never remember what date Memorial day, Labor day, Valentines day, etc. fall on. The only one I have dialed is fourth of July.

I hated Algebra in high school and didn't get much past it. Once I started Trig in college, I started to enjoy it myself. My mom (PhD in math theory from UNC) said it was the difference between "math" and "arithmetic". I learned to hate arithmetic, but math I enjoy.
To say that I have a bad sense of direction would imply that I have one at all.
Anything artistic comes easy to me.

Something else:
I have no idea how to program a remote control or set the time on a VCR or something. Totally electronics braindead. Especially when it only has a few buttons like a watch. WTF am I supposed to do with 3 unlabeled buttons?

There is no computer on my MTB, so no.
But on the roadie I have one, but wont ever change the wheel size for fear of being confronted with such an issue.
Compassion. Haven't really figured that one out... May be a problem someday soon...
who needs compassion when you have a knife.
i can not for the life of me drink anything out of a cup or mug ect while walking without spilling all over my damn self. and computers are still an alien technology to me.
I press them in a random order until something happens
My 15 year old aced College Algebra in jr. high...he will be tutoring me when I take it again...smug little ****...
Is it mandatory that tiny people who drive SUV's be yapping on their cell phones constantly while trying to park?
i believe what you're seeing is them getting parking instructions from On*
It's possible, I guess, being that a large segment of the population is completely unwilling to think for themselves. Cell phones make it easier for them to receive "further instructions".
Well, if this is going to turn into a things you think are simple but other people seem to have immense difficulty with, I've got a list for you brother, a mile long.
Females...but I don't think I'm alone on that one...
Sh!t me too! Letters do not belong in math.Math. Anything outside +, -, x or / is Greek to me. Algebra? WTF?
Haha. I guess that's the point. In that example, I would have taken it to mean that the guy's drive train survived as he was riding that rock section... didn't = neg, fail = neg ==> positive. Right?
Exactly why I posted it in this thread... confuses the crap out of me at the moment
The difference between balanced and unbalanced audio. I understand the difference I just call one the other for some reason. Same with series and parallel. I do the same thing on the video end with S-Video (Luma and Chroma) and RGBHV (H,V). Very frustrating to my co-workers...
Leaving Ridemonkey like stinkyboy did. Wait....what???
That seems to be a common problem with most "computer" people. I know several flavors of unix, linux, VMS, MCP, DOS/Windows, OS2, Netware; add to that Basic, VB.net, Turbo Pascal/Delphi, C/C++, half a dozen ASMs and I still can't learn foreign languages. It just seems to take a the ability to think illogically to learn other languages.
Or your Ex's inability at keeping a husband??
i stringently disagree. like you, i've written in bazillion languages on more than a few platforms/architectures and have a knack for spoken languages. this has held for the vast majority of my various co-workers who've studied languages.
grammar is grammar.
automata theory & language theory go hand in glove
i believe it all comes down to interest level & reinforcement. i'll freely admit i'm not someone you'd call smart or disciplined, but experience can be masqueraded as such.
Tan Bike Shorts.
Exactly. Why didn't they try harder to understand that I was never going to change?!
I have a few...
Explaining something I think is simple to someone who has no clue. This usually has to do with something mechanical or computers. For some people this comes easily...not me.
Credits on RM. Please don't explain, I don't really need to know.
My wife dropping hints thinking that I am going to figure it out. Is it a game!?! WTF, just tell me what you want done and I'll do it.
