1: In more recent years, I've grown able to whistle what sounds like the note of G. I can sometimes manage a triumphant F, but this has no bearing on my inability to use chopsticks.
Last time, my strategy was as follows:
a) Identify chunk of meat. b) Stick chopstick in it. c) Lift chopstick, eat meat.
I can't complain: I didn't starve that night. ;-)
2: Voices do seem to sound different on the phone. My brother and I sound similar enough that people confuse us in real life, let alone the phone. Caller ID is your friend.
3: I'm sure whoever invented GPS had you in mind. ;-)
4: Small parts of me die whenever I have to talk to some vacant dumbkopf about the weather.
I call those parts "brain cells".
I've been told I'm good at smalltalk. Whether I have much patience for it is a different matter.
I'm with you on four and five! Even with people I know really well, occasionally I'll be "So. How 'bout that... local sports team." With people I DON'T know really well? HOPELESS. And I daydream CONSTANTLY.
I'm pretty good with chopsticks, but there are days when I suddenly feel like I've gone chopstick-retarded. I'm like "d00d, where did all my L33T SK1LLZ GO???" Then I punch myself in the face for saying "L33T SK1LLZ".

I'm so jealous of chopstick using abilities, it's not even funny.
I can open them, but I can't close them. They sort of just crash together in a sensual frenzy of poor hand-eye coordination.

Voices absolutely do sound different on the phone... but at the same time, I'm sooo hopeless at identifying them it's crazy!
Thank you for advising me not to stop daydreaming... :}
And thank you for liking what I have to say!

Damnit... almost everyone can use chopsticks, except for me. Be glad you can at least use them most of the time!
