What's a weird thing you can't do

I cannot let a scab heal without picking it into a nightmare abomination.
I can't say the word "Ancient" properly. Comes out "angk-shint" or "ansent". Or, an-sy-ent, but that's when I've given up...
Can't avoid playing mad libs with the people talking to me. I'm always trying to guess what they're trying to say, for some reason. I know it's awful...
Remembering a person's name after being introduced. Never ever, I'm always too busy trying to remember my own name...
 
I can't whistle normally, only by sucking in air so it comes out very weak and quiet. I also can't walk normally, I walk on very specific parts of my foot because I was one of those kids who took being a ninja seriously and it just stuck. I nearly give people heart attacks all the time because my footsteps don't make a sound.
 
I've never been able to do the "rr" or "ll" sound in Spanish either.

I also can't rollerskate backwards.
 
Do a proper pull up. I’m a great climber, but somehow I just can’t do it.

You're not using the same set of muscles when you climb as you do when you do a pullup.

Climbing will usually test your biceps, forearms, upper thighs, and grip strength. Your weight is also more often evenly distributed between your arms and legs.

Pullups are targeting the muscles in your shoulders and core strength (abdomen). If you want to get good at pullups, do situps, pullups, and tricep dips.

Keep to a routine and push yourself to muscle fatigue. Your muscles don't get stronger unless they break down to rebuild themselves.
 
I can't roleplay, either sexually, in a d&d context, or at work. It's not that I don't have a theory of mind - I can understand that my character doesn't know something, and if I do play d&d, I understand enough not to meta-game. However - I can't improvise, can't pretend to be a different character than who I am myself, can't do a believable funny/sexy accent, and have to communicate out-of-character for the entire game (this really seems to piss certain types of role-players off.) It makes me feel profoundly stupid whenever I try to play those kinds of games.
