I am unable to do the magic eye things, my eyes just don't focus on that way. Good thing I never am required to

I can parallel park fine (but am kinda old and used to have to) and was not dyslexic or anything - I think part of my problem with that puzzle was that you can take a p and flip it to be a b or q or d, the whole idea of them starting out as mirror or not didn't compute somehow, lost between my eyes and brain.

Maps, yes, it used to mess up my life but no more, now that you can rotate them. I used to take paper maps and lay them on the ground with north pointing north and could not easily read MapQuest on my work computer because my desk faced south. If I had to navigate while my ex was driving he would laugh at me for holding the map sideways or upside down but it was much easier to read upside down words than a map that was upside down in relationship to the world.
