There are a few scenes like this that I find really interesting. Especially in TNG, the cast are depicted as these hypercompetent omnitalented people. They're all astronauts, scientists of some stripe or other, tacticians, diplomats, most are skilled at some kind of martial art, they publish research, and they put on plays and violin recitals in their spare time. But they have no domestic skills whatsoever. None of them can take care of a house cat, they can't cook, etc.
