Well that's KNOT an idea situation.

Lol just learn. It's easy you'll see

By saying you don't know what you're doing wrong, does that mean no one has showed you, you haven't looked up the many resources to watch/listen how, or you're just daft?

I'm so curious about this. How many times could it possibly even come up? I have never discussed with anyone whether or not I can tie a knot.

Damn kids nowadays who were raised on Velcro and no-lace shoes! (insert meme of old man yelling at cloud) I bet when your pants stretch, you throw them in the trash instead of piercing two holes in them and inserting a shoelace that you tie every time you wear those pants! When I was young, we had lace boots, lace bodices and lace pantaloons, and we would make the little bunny go around the tree and hop in the hole like real men!

You are not stupid at all, you could have a condition called developmental coordination disorder. We know more about it now but it was probably not very well known when you were a child. It is a cognitive dysfunction where you have difficulties manipulating objects and remembering the steps you have to go through to do something, like tying a knot. People who have it are often described as very clumsy and disorganised. You could go see an occupational therapist to help you.

do not despair, OP. I had this problem as a kid and had to wear velcro shoes well into my mid teens. There are therapies that help with hand-eye coordination issues.

You are an idiot in this context. This would be a time you could use the r-word, if the word was still in use. Everyone has "blind spots" no matter how smart they are.

You simply canknot
