Where I grew up lives all sorts of handy guys with all kinds of practical skills. Already from a teenager if you can't repair your own motorbike you are considered as a handicapped whimp who need to ask for daddy's help like a girl.
Later in life the same thing goes. If you can't repair your own car, build your own house or understand how to do some basic construction work people will look down on you and be called whimp or retard who is born with a thumb in the middle of the hand. People will laugh at you and mock you for being stupid.
I guess this is often a question if you are from a city or from the countryside.
I remember when I was in the military when guys from the city got mocked on and laughed at bigtime when they didn't even know how to chop firewood or light a bonfire.
I've done my share of work in the construction and in garages and peoples stupidity is unreal. It never stopped to amaze me. Some people can't even fix the most simpliest thing.
Practial skills is something people often are born with. Yes, you can learn some skills but you will never be as smart as a "natural".
I wonder if practical skills is something that has been lost in modern time, or if it's always been like that.
Can you take care of yourself or do you need to call for help even for putting a simple bookshelf together?
Are you a practical person or not?
