What don't you know?

This thread is about things you don't know how to do but probably should.

Iron. I have never ironed anything. I've never watched someone iron. I have no idea how to do it.

Tie xxxx type of knot. Never was a boyscout, been sailing a couple times but forget how to tie it that way.

I don't know how to change my oil on my car... it pisses me off everytime I pay $40 to get it done

$40? I pay between $15 and $20 depending on the coupon I have. You're way overpaying.

FWIW, I'm pretty handy around cars, but I don't think it's ever worth doing the oil change yourself. Oil + filters are probably around $10, plus you have to dispose of the oil. Most mechanics I know don't even bother changing their own oil.

You pay $40! I get it done at Goodyear (normally a ripoff but it's next door) for about $17 with coupon.

I can't iron either. I also don't know anything about cars other than how to drive them and put gas in them. I can't cook anything more elaborate than grilled cheese, either.
