I can't gargle with a salt wash when I have a sore throat. I just feel like I'm going to choke on the water. Much to the amusement of my family.
Yep, I have this same problem. My gag reflex is very sensitive. Also made it real interesting when the doctor was trying to check if my tonsillitis had developed an abscess in my throat or not...

I exclusively write in cursive, i honestly struggle to write in print. the few times I'm forced to write in print always irritate me cause it makes my already below average handwriting even shittier.
My printing is probably more readable, but it looks much worse than my cursive. I also find it much, much slower.

I am really bad at dating and figuring out how girls think. My friends seem to be able to do it just fine. I guess years and years of gaming will do that to you. I am trying to improve now.
That's easy - you stop treating them like strange creatures that you need to figure out. ;-)
Like a lot of the others here, I can't sing (I seem to be tone deaf) or dance. Generally I'm pretty musically inept (although I greatly enjoy music). I struggle to hold a beat, let alone a rhythm. With dancing, it's very frustrating when people tell me to 'just feel the music and let your body do what it wants to do'. Guess what? All my body wants to do is stand still, or tap a foot/bob a head at best.
I will concede however that I could learn to sing or dance with a very large amount of effort - my girlfriend is in a similar position to me in terms of singing, and she's taken up singing lessons. I think she's now got good control over her voice, so she can hit notes, but she finds it hard to tell what notes to hit. One of her anecdotes is her music teacher playing the first few notes in a scale and then asking her what the next note should be, to which she has no idea. This frustrates her music teacher immensely.
Despite generally being at least somewhat acrobatic (mostly rolls and the like), I cannot do cartwheels. This actually seems to be a physical problem - because of the shape of my ribcage, I find it difficult to bend sideways very much, which seems like an essential part of a cartwheel. In fact this problem extends further than this - no matter how long and hard I try, I cannot seem to do a lot of the same stretches that my training partners can. The same extends to developing muscle endurance (though strength itself doesn't seem to be a huge issue).
EDIT: Oh, something else I apparently seem incapable of is making short posts!
