My guess would be that you have too-slack permissions on the ones that
you can make directories (as it seems all too many people give things
like joomla unlimited rights to do things / stuff things up).  But you
haven't given us enough information.

The output from "ls -l" on directories that you can and can't create
directories in, would help.  Start off with:  ls -l /var/www

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
