Is there anything you can't do?

Is there anything you can't do/never learned to do that most people of your age and situation can? Like maybe swimming, whistling, driving a car?

For instance, I can't snap my fingers at all. Also, I am utterly incapable of using electric can openers. I've been shown how to do it about five times and I just can't.

Nope

Electric can opener; Place the round blade where the outer lid touches the rim on top of the can. You can lightly press the handle down which should cause the can to turn and the blade to spin along the area it is set at. Now firmly press down on the handle while keeping the can in position with the other hand. (I'm assuming you have a typical electric can opener.)

I am a 25 year old man and I cannot drive, and I am deathly afraid of operating the giant bullet of destruction on the road.

Also whistling, I just dunno what people do to whistle and I am assuming magic.

As for snapping fingers, I know of two ways to snap my fingers. And I can do both on both hands. but it was weird, since I completely autonimously learned how to do this.

I cannot knot cables, whenever I have to tie up the electrodes or the photic stimulator of the encephalogram I suffer, I just donīt have the fine motor skills needed to manage wires.
I also canīt follow a straight line while cutting things with scissors

Some people can move their ears but I'm one of those folks that can't do it. Whenever I play badminton, I'm the odd one that can't hit the birdie about 80% of the time.

Moving the ears is not a common trait that I know of, or at least I donīt know anyone that can do it

I think the moving ears thing is impossible for some people, if they were not born with the appropriate muscles (?)

I cannot whistle with my fingers, but I am determined to learn!

I can wiggle my ears but whistling and I are not on speaking terms

I have always been unable to whistle or snap my fingers. However, much more oddly, I have never been able to eat normal food. I mean, I can obviously physically eat foods like soups and sandwiches, but I will usually vomit. Thankfully, nowadays, there are retail powdered food substitutes available.

I didn't figure out how to whistly until I was 19.

The trick I found was to experiment with your mouth shape while inhaling; eventually I found something that was like whistling inward. Then it was a reversing the air flow. And once you figure that out, you're golden. I don't know if that'll work for anyone else though.

I can move my eyebrows independently and it apparently wierds my family out.

I can't make my toungue stand sideways, though.

I can whistle breathing in, but not breathing out. Everyone says just hold the same position, but breath out... doesn't work for me.

Driving is one for me, too. I'm working on that, but slowly.

Also, I can't seem to get married. I notice a lot of guys my age are doing it (okay nearly all of them), but apparently it's to do with this other thing they've discovered, called a "girlfriend". I'm not sure where to even get one of those. Can you buy them in a supermarket!?

Marriage seems to be a process that begins largely by accident. XD
