Pull-ups, I have suspected that I may be doing them wrong, but I hold myself up and my arms simply don't pull up any higher. It's not a feeling of reaching my limits and having to stop, it's that my arms just don't pull me up like I want to.

I am also double-jointed with many bones, though the term itself may be a misnomer as I suspect it just means that your joint is loosened and thus you have a wider range of motion.

Putting my leg behind my head. I'm not very bendy. :(
I can do that, watch!

Maybe not

somebody mind calling me an ambulance?

OT:

I can't tell the difference between similar colours.

...but I *can* do Office Parkour!

Holy crap, I was in a really bad mood, and then I saw this. Thank you, and I mean that sincerely.
Also, after playing Assassin's Creed, every time I saw a wall, I could only think of how I'd scale it. I have a feeling I would have ended up like Andy.
OT: I could never run a mile in under five minutes.

I cannot get close to touching my toes without bending my legs. Hell, I can barely reach past my knees.

I can't cross my eyes, I've had scarred muscle tissue removed from behind both my eyes.

Wiggling my ears.

Doing my taxes correctly.
I think everyone is physically incapable of doing that last one. ^_^
Not true---I've been doing mine for 15 years and have five years experience doing other people's. In the board game of life, I'm the one who's read the inside front cover of the box.

On-topic, I can't run---my knees are shot and I have a heart condition. I can't throw a fastball faster than 50 mph (severe shoulder injury at 14 that never healed properly). And I'm pretty sure I can't knock out one of the Klitschko brothers even if you bound their hands behind their backs.

I will bet you 9001 cookies that you can Office Parkour a mile with me in under five days.

PARKOUR!!!

Hmm.

I can't:

voice my feelings properly
Smile when a camera is nearby
fly
reduce things to a sub-atomic level with my mind (Yet...)

I can't do pull ups. According to my doctor parents, most people have an extra tendon in their arms that enables them to do things like that, dating back to when our ape ancestors swung from trees and such. Neither I nor my parents have this. Oddly, I am totally fine doing them if I turn my arms so my palms face away from me, like you would if you were rock climbing and stuff, I guess because it relies on a different part of the arm? No clue...

Do a proper bench press
Dance for thirteen hours continuously

I can't suck up a supernova and blow it out into a blackhole to cancel them both out.

But Superman can.

Believe it or not, you can turn into gelatin, as it's just a specific type of animal protein that has been isolated by a very powerful acid. I guess you could turn into fire too, although I wouldn't recommend it.

OT: Being male, I can't give birth. I also can't roll my r's; I have no proof that this is the cause, but I've always thought that was because I managed to bite most of the way through my tongue when I was a kid. If there's any scar tissue there at all, that could contribute to my inability to roll my r's.

I cannot give birth. Oh well.

And I can't turn my head all the way around like an owl.

Uh besides stuff that people normally can't do, uh...

I can't touch my toes without bending my knees. I just can't. I'm not flexiable enough and my legs are too long. I also sucked at the "sit-and-reach" tests that they had in gym.

"26? That's good."
"30? Good job.
"32! That's a new personal record isn't it?"
"23? Try and work a bit harder next time, I'm sure you can do it."
"14? Is that it?" "Pretty much." <- Me
