On the flip side of What can you do that most people cannot do - What are some things that you can't do that most people can?

For one, I can't  ... whistle.  From the time I was a little kid, I tried, but could never get it right.  I have huffed, puffed, and puckered ... but just haven't been able to master such a simple thing.

I also can't shuffle a deck of cards too well either. I fumble so much I might as well be wearing oven mitts.

How about you guys? 
Hold onto your dreams ....

Fix mechanical things.  I usually make it worse so I don't bother usually.

Can't blow my nose...

Can't shuffle cards very well either...

Can't whistle...

You and I are birds of a feather then. I can't do it for the life of me. You should have seen the last time I did it. Cards to the left of me, cards to the right... :bouncegiggle:

Show any shred of patience when following written instructions involving assembly.
Or keep my cool when I bump into things or knock things over.

I can't deal with heights. Once I get up more any significant distance I start to freak out a little bit. That's what happens when your a flatlander.

I'm with you there, my stomach starts to turn when I get up high.

Speaking of that I used to have trouble but I can't describe at some point it clicked.  I wish I could give a good idea of how to do but alas I'm poor at giving instructions. 
Ah, the good old days.

Like a few others have said, I can't whistle.  I can sort of make a high pitched sound, but it's not the same.

I can't, for the life of me, tell a good joke.  When I try, either it's just not funny, or I end up offending somebody.  I mean, I can repeat a joke (Why did the chicken cross the road...) but I can't make a joke on the spot after someone says something.  For that, I'll always been known to my friends as a Socially Awkward Penguin. :lookingup:

yeah no.

I can't blow my nose or shuffle cards fancy either.
 
I also can't tread water.. is that what it's called?  - I can swim, but I can't swim in place.

Low body fat + small feet = hard to tread water. Means you aren't fat enough.
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

I can't "roll" my tongue and I can't wiggle my ears. Can't burp on command either.
