I thought I was the only one. 
I, too, have always wanted to “taxi whistle”.
I can’t raise one eyebrow in order to give someone a quizzical look. Nor can I wink my left eye.
I can’t seem to get the hang of certain playstation 2 games, like “Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild”. I believe it’s the quick-thinking and eye-hand coordination thing. My husband and daughter always laugh at me when I play.
I’m organization-impaired. I don’t know how to win against clutter.
I can’t do the loud whistle either. I can do the regular soft whistle though.
Can’t do a cartwheel. Can’t do a flip on a trampoline and land on my feet. I have friend that just learned how to skip about a month ago.

Despite being in my mid-twenties, I cannot tie shoes “properly.” I’ve never been able to, not even once. So I use the bunny-ears method. It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done.
There’s a little rhyme for Cuban kids who have difficulty rolling their rs. It even appears in a cha cha cha of 1950’s vintage:
erre con erre cigarro
erre con erre barril
rapidos corren los carros
cargados de azucar en ferrocarril
Something like that.
Count me in for not knowing how to ride a bike. I think there was one attempt without training wheels when I was about 6, I fell and scraped up my knees, and never got back on. Oh well. Also, no cartwheels for me.
I just managed whistling within the last year, but it’s still pretty crappy. And I don’t know why but I have never had a problem with the Magic Eye pictures, that’s always come very easily.
I can’t master chopsticks. I’ve had it shown to me and explained and I’ll have it working for about 3 seconds before it all goes to crap. Gimme a damn fork.
You know what we need? We need someone to produce an adult-level training video that teaches these various skills. Seems like there would be a market.
I can’t whistle at all, and it really bothers me, because I always have music in my head and I’d love to express it through whistling. I don’t care about the loud “get your attention” whistle as much as musical whistling, but I can’t do that either. I can’t snap my fingers either. I have a very anti-musical body.
Oh, so good to hear. I’m usually a very coordinated person but have never been able to get the ball back to the paddle more than twice, and it’s mostly by accident. I always felt like such a doofus trying.**

I consider myself to be coordinated, too. I can juggle up to 4 balls or 3 clubs/rings/etc and read a book at the same time if someone else holds it. But those paddle things are just way beyond my abilities.
I can’t whistle (apart from inward whistling), click my fingers, roll my r’s, purr, juggle, raise 1 eyebrow, or see magic eye pictures properly (when i see the they’re always inverted)
We should just always stand side by side. I can only raise my left one individually.
Swings. Never ever could get the whole concept behind swings. Could never get high in the air at all, and I blame this lack of swinging know-how for my lack of social interaction from the age of 3 to about 15.
And I’m not too hot with reading upside down or the macarena either.
