Any more for any more?
Getting in (and especially) out of cars.
Carrying drinks (especially up and down stairs).
Walking through crowded rooms.
Changing light bulbs.
Opening wine bottles.
Probably more I've forgotten.

Forgetting that I can not multi task and end up dropping something for example
Repairing a cycle tyre
all of the above 
, and more
trying to step over pets in door ways while carrying 2 cups of tea, or worse still trying to climb over pets on the stairs with 2 cups of tea.
it was usually easier as they would reluctantly move, or go up 1 step at a time, and look back to see if I was still following!!
when I was little, I went to a shop with an escalator, and did get trapped in it!
I had told my parents several times before, that I didn't feel comfortable using the escalator, and that I would be safer downstairs in the shop, and I would wait for them.
they just basically put it down to me being stubburn or something! until that happened.
I still do have problems with escalators, and stairs so people look stupidly at you when you use the shop lift! I think more needs to be done to make people more aware of the condition!
writing is a major problem for me, ok, so I can write, but it litterally takes me hours to write 1 side of an A4 page with my normal writing.
in school/college I wished they would just hand me a laptop or pc, as it is the only way that I can write faster. now I do all letters etc. by pc, as it is about 10 times faster. (even with booting up, and opening applications!!)
I dunno whether they hand them out in schools now, but when I was in school then it would have made things a lot easier,
as for driving, then passed my car test 1st time, with 3 months of going out nearly every day with my parent's for about an hour or so, and then 2 hours a week with the driving instructor, including changing types of car 2 weeks before my test, I knew I was totally ready for my test on day 1 of driving the car though!!
my parents were there, saying I should put off doing my driving test, until I get more experiance with the car, and they didn't think I would pass my car test, well I did get my own back on my mother though!! I went to her work, and told her that I failed, so she asked to see the fail slip, and she was totally surprised when I pulled out the pass certificate!
but on the other hand I am having trouble with passing a 17 tonne truck driving test, as I failed it twice, I think it is because I am so used to driving a car, that the weight difference is the problem, especially with stopping distance/speed.
