does being unable to fix anything mean you're retarded 3

because I can't fix a fucking thing
and I don't understand how shit works
like doorknobs for instance
our doorknob broke and my wife fixed it.
It's got a long rectangular piece of metal in there but I don't get how it's connected to the latch or whatever.
I don't understand how a transmission works, how a radiator works, or how an engine works. A lawn mower engine might as well be a microchip.
I need google images to tell a nut from a bolt. I can't fix a drawer that doesn't shut right. I can't hang my tv on the wall like people do. I can't assemble a normal bed. I can't fix a fucked up zipper. Sew anything. Fix a leaky faucet. Running toilet. Change wiper blades.
I used to be able to change fuses in my car but now that gets me all fucked up. I definitely can't change a headlight or change my own oil.
I know the truth. I'm a fucking retard.

People don't just magically know how to do things, you have to put the time in to learn. Some things you'll pick up really quick other things will take a lot of tinkering with before you understand how and why they work.

I think that just means your visuospatial intelligence isn't very well developed. It is one of several types of intelligence.

I'm not sure what the terms for the cognitive abilities that apply to imaging how something like a door knob works. But your inability to do it doesn't preclude you from being strong in other areas. If you ever take an IQ test and they break it down in categories. Just because you score low in spacial recognition doesn't make you a retard. I took the test and had categories I scored almost perfects to short term memory which I scored literally as poorly as a retard. Not that I think IQ is perfect but it seems to be relatively accurate.
Although I would be worried if I were INCAPABLE of fixing the door knob, no matter how much time was given. But if it was just easier for my wife I wouldn't stress about much besides a slight embarrassment my wife is handier than me.

I don't think OP was talking about mounting the knob
He was talking about the blank face he got when he opened it up. Then his wife did his work. That's how I read it anyway.

Dude, it doesn't even have a fucking lock. It's just a twister deal. We have to lock the door by bolting it from above. I couldn't fix it and my wife fixed it in less than a minute. We couldn't get in. If it weren't for I probably would have had to sleep in the bushes.

Did you grow up with a strong father figure? I don't mean to be sexist, but most of what I know about fixing things came from my father sharing his knowledge and experience. The rest came from curiosity on my part and a ingrained desire to 'fit in' among other males. Some how, masculinity is in part defined by your ability to strip down an engine (at least in the small town I grew up in).

There's your answer. Your father is to blame for the current state of your mechanical ineptitude. Now go fix it. There is so much info available on how to fix things now. Go learn some stuff and man-up. Your wife will love it, and likely throw you a random BJ (or two) if you start fixing shit and getting all dirty while doing it. As much as most people don't like to subscribe to tightly defined gender roles, it has been my experience that they are very deeply set into us without us even realizing much of the time.

I suspect she knows which end of the screwdriver she prefers to use and exactly where she prefers to use it. Just because they called her Husband on the wedding application doesn't mean she is a man. Not in these revolutionary times.

For such a bad ass business man you pretend to be it's pretty funny that you've installed 'thousands' of door knobs. Congratulations on making the big time of doorknob installation. Hell, you might have put mine in. Thanks man. I couldn't open the door without you.

everyone has different skills OP. I know how to do a lot of shit, and am completely ambivalent about learning how to do other things.
like plumbing. i have no desire whatsoever to learn about it. my skills stop at using a plunger.

It could mean you are lazy, lazy to find out how stuff works and then go out and fix it.
I had a problem with water buildup in the bottom of my fridge, so I was like "ehhh should I buy a new one?" I googled Water In My Fridge Fix It, then I got this video:
And it turned out it was a 3 minute fix.
Was I retarded? No I was lazy, too lazy to look for answers.

My mom is that way, but she's exceptionally good at her job as a psychotherapist, and surprisingly had a high paying career for just a master's degree... so she can throw all the money at all the shit she doesn't care to understand...
And I grew up that way too to a lesser extent. I'm a city boy, if I want a pie, I fuckin' go to the bakery and buy a pie...... That's just how it is I do have a handful of talents though, in bed for example
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I'm primarily a carpentry contractor. I've been a carpenter for 35 years. It is my main trade even when I just do construction management. Of course I've installed a ton of doorknobs.

I kinda thought that was what you meant but when I googled cassette knobs I got a bunch of hits about cassette tapes. They are a complete pain in the ass unless you have an expensive jig

This thread reminds me, I gotta start learning how basic stuff work.
I'm not a mechanically inclined guy. I know how to fix a doorknob though. I don't really know anything about cars. I know the main components of it and what they do (I think). But don't ask me how these components work.
I've looked at a transmission before and holy fuck does it seem complicated.
Maybe one of you guys can answer this one:
I've always wondered about this; when I'm on drive with the brakes on at a red light, where does the energy coming from the motor go to? I always wondered how car motor don't choke out when I'm holding the breaks on drive. Stupid right?

An automatic transmission disengages the same as when you depress the clutch in a manual transmission when you apply the brakes. Energy is still being expended, however, as long as the engine is running at all. Holding the brake and leaving the clutch engaged will stall the engine in a manual transmission.
Forget about working on recent model cars. 40 years ago you could make a temp fix with a paper clip or matchbook cover. You could change your water pump with common tools and barked knuckles. Look under the hood now. There isn't hardly a square inch not taken up by something.

I am slightly less stupid than I was 1 minute ago.
Wait...

I forgot something else, I'm equally stupid.
