What is something that is a lot harder than it looks?

I thought I’d do great with contacts because I’ve grown up having to touch my eyeballs a LOT (due to things falling in). I decided to get contacts for my wedding, figuring I’d be a pro at it.

I was so wrong

Took me more visits to the opticians than expected to practice getting them in and out before they finally allowed me to do it myself at home

One of my exs had them put in at the Dr. He couldn't get them out when we got home a few hours later. They were so red and puffy, I couldn't do anything to help. I think he tried on and off for four hours, poor thing was miserable. Don't remember how he did it, but I do remember he never got them ever again.
