What has taken you the longest to get good or decent at?

Chess. I played it for several years as a child/teenager, then drifted away from it for 13 years, and got back into it about a year ago.

I'm currently in the mid-1500s on Chess.com, which is decent, but I still have a lot to learn!
 
Cooking.

I still can't make toast without burning it

I don't have much of an interest in it though (cooking I mean), and for someone who lives alone, that either means takeouts every night or food poisoning.
 
There is a lot, mostly because I don't care to get better. :coffee:
I will stick with some cooking also, and I say measuring ingredients was never my forte.
I grew up adding a bit of this and a bit of that.
 
Shopping (y)
 
Spiking railway tracks. It took over 20 years for me to learn how. That's when I realised I blinked just before I hit the spike and I'd miss.
