I can't do the two finger whistle either.

Really the only super common thing I can think of is whistling.

And since juggling is also common in "certain circles", nope; can't do that either.

Yeah I also cant juggle

I can throw things though

Burn all your books and talk to me in a couple of weeks, see if you can't poop then

Can't roll the R's so i just make some kind of drooling sound.

Cant whistle with fingers.

Can't do the people's eyebrow.

I've been driving for 16 years - most of it highway - and I've never learned how to use cruise control.

Can't wiggle my ears

I can only juggle two... Which I think barely counts as juggling

You activate it by hitting "set" while driving at 25 MPH or more. The car will stay at or near that speed on its own without use of the gas pedal. You press Accel or Decel to speed up or lower the set cruise speed. Or use the gas to increase speed and press the set button again when the apeed you want is reached. You press both buttons at once to cancel cruise (or tap the brake pedal)

Indeed, a "'thing' you can't do" (as per the topic's other posts at least) seems to refer to things you cannot simply do just from learning or getting demonstrations.

Something like whistling or wiggling your ears for instance. No matter what advice you give a person, they may not be able to do it. Whistling itself is arguably borderline since you could potentially figure it out on your own with enough struggling, but simply hearing how to do it or seeing someone else do it will not let you reproduce it.

You sound depressed. You should see a doctor.

my knees only can get about 99% straight, i can't completely straighten out my knees. its not noticeable and doesn't impair me in any way but i've had a couple doctors point it out and i guess its unique/rare

Dance. I'm shit at it. My back is stupid stiff, my right ankle is in garbage condition, and my over-embellished set of standards like to kick in and tell me not to bother trying.

But the smaller things? Whistling, finger snapping, riding a bike, swimming, et cetera? Those are so easy to me that I sometimes have to take a step back when I realize I'm communicating with someone who cannot do one or more of these things. It's the same when I have to recall something from memory that a lot of people have forgotten, or are misremembering, because memory is so typically faulty. Even my own memory goes to crap if I try to remember exact quotes, but I'll remember the concept after one exposure better than most that I've met.
