As a child, whenever you had a problem, you most likely went to your parents or some other adult to solve it. But as you grew up, you learned how to do things on your own. Part of being an adult is having a grasp on certain basic life skills - however, as it turns out, not every life lesson is as basic to one person as it is to the next.

The New York Times editor Jenee Desmond-Harris recently shared on Twitter her landlord's unexpected know-how blindspot, and then asked the internet to share their own. People delivered all sorts of hilarious answers, and some of them you might be able to relate to - from social skills such a the dreaded small talk to vital work skills. Scroll down to check out some of the best responses, and don't forget to upvote your faves! And don't forget to let us know in the comments, which seemingly simple things you've missed along the way.

Whether it’s tying our shoes, correctly reading the face of a clock or learning to swim, we’ve all had a bit of trouble getting to grips with certain important (and elementary) life skills. Some people even find basic things like fixing the plumbing or driving a car to be — well — basic. But there’s plenty of us have a lot more trouble, because we might be afraid (a lot of us may have panicked the first time we went to a community pool) or we simply might have had no need for a particular skill (we may prefer getting around by bike rather than by car if we live in busy cities).

Sometimes I think I've nailed this adulting lark and am now a fully formed member of the human race. Then I try talking to a stranger and realise all I've done is cocoon myself in friends who don't mind talking about D&D 24/7

We all know the adage that it takes about 10,000 hours to learn a new skill. However, that’s not entirely true. Josh Kaufman, known for his inspiring TED talk and author of the book ‘The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything… Fast!’, has a very different idea.

The + sign has a bump on it. The positive side of the battery is also the one with the bump. The - sign is flat. The negative end of a battery is flat as well. You're welcome!

According to Kaufman, the so-called 10,000 rule has been misinterpreted by the vast majority of people for quite some time now. He notes that 10,000 hours is the average it takes to become “an expert in an ultra competitive field”, which is far from the same thing as learning a new skill This is good news for most of us!

There's a good trick for remembering people's names. When you meet someone for the first time wait for them to say their name. Then repeat the name while introducing yourself. Hi (name to remember) I'm (own name) Or Hi, (name to remember) good to see you again. Repeating the name makes you remember it more easily.

I don't do names either. When someone introduces him-/herself to me, I'm usually too busy not making a fool of myself to actually listen to their name. Rude, yes, but I can't help it.

You aren't being rude. Everyone does that. We get nervous when we meet new people. Instead of listening, our minds are like "Is my shirt on backwards? Did I use mouthwash this morning? I hope my breath doesn't stink! Should I shake their hand? Oh, c**p, I think I missed the moment! Should I try again? What should I do with my hands? Is my posture correct? I should straighten my shirt. Would that be rude? My shirt is on the right way, isn't it? Oh, no, I think she just said something important. I wasn't paying attention. I should say something witty. Now she thinks I'm an idiot. I'm gonna go jump off a bridge now!"

I have difficulties remembering names and faces too, unless it's a person I'm seeing often and that has been somehow part of my life (friends, colleagues, classmates etc.) Now I work in a big company and, while I do recognise their names and faces, I have trouble CONNECTING the name to the face. Like, we communicate with each other through messengers for work purposes, and small talk during breaks and enjoy each other's company and always greet them.... But don't ask me "who" this person is. Of course, that doesn't happen with my close team mates, I know who's who.

In this case, poor memory is probably due to anxiety and nerves, if you can overcome that then you will remember names better. They said they are good at remembering other things so they clearly don't have a bad memory in general.

I used to be great at remembering names. Then I go old. Someone told me long ago that when we don't remember someone's name, it's because we really aren't interested in that person - OR - we're too self-involved. That makes me try harder. Also - I try to associate the person's face with their name or an object that sounds like their name. Of courtse, there was that guy we called Margherita for years because that's what he drank. We never did learn his name until he got arrested. LOL

I struggle with names too, but there is a tip I have found useful, if you can, associate their name with someone or something, a movie character you like etc I remember a family friends child's name only because of this trick, he has the same name as an X-men character. = ) Hope this helps someone. (Though it's practically impossible with Non-Caucasian names). = / For those I have no clue...

I think it's a lazy brain thing. I can remember tremendous detail, but I have to really focus when people say their names and then consciously repeat it back (and repeat it to myself several times) for me to remember names. My brain just doesn't think it's important enough to file, especially if I'm not going to see them again.

Also, if I'm not paying focused attention, I call people the wrong names, even when I know their name. Like, I cycle through all my kids names when I'm yelling at one. Or my siblings names when I'm taking to one. And my friends names. Which is weird, cuz I don't call my kids my friends names, it's just, I guess, the names in each "category" that get mixed. 0.o

I never remember the name of a person I will only meet one time. Unless they are going to stay in my life (through marriage or other friend) I don't bother to remember. And when I need to know a name, I ask for it again in a polite way -- everyone LOVES the sound of their own name and will share it again and again.

At work I'll go to see the name of the next patient I'm taking back, but if I don't immediately pull them up or write their name down I'll have to look it back up almost every time. I can tell the doctor near verbatim every issue you mentioned, but your name?? Not so much. It's both incredibly annoying and incredibly common. Then there's the whole "sorry Elizabeth you just REALLY look like a Sarah."

I finally told another mutual friend of ours to help me remember it Senior year and every time this guy walked by, my other friend would mouth his name behind him. Daniel, if you ever see this...

Kaufman states that to get from “knowing nothing to being pretty good” takes a far shorter amount of time: barely 20 hours. That’s more or less practicing something for 45 minutes every day for around a month. Doesn’t seem so scary, does it? Of course, you can’t multitask while trying to learn a new skill — you need to focus on it exclusively.

She told me every time we went to go on an escalator. It's now an ingrained instinct, despite me logically knowing it's nonsense.

Yes, "deductible" sounds like something you *don't* have to pay. And "premium" sounds like something good, but the whole thing is doubly confusing: pay a higher premium (oh no!) to get a lower monthly (oh...kay?). It's like being asked to choose the way you would like to get screwed.
