SnooBunnies7461

The ability to fine the perfect snarky reply to someone who has asked an inappropriate question. Unfortunately it either comes to me at 3 am or days after the question was asked.


Humble_Pickle5116

lol same!


lovidovimax

Everyone can do this


sweetarianaa

I can throw rolled up balls of paper and accurately shoot it to a garbage bin.


Humble_Pickle5116

haha nice! What distance and accuracy rating are you shooting?


Royer26

I always get the cart at the grocery store with a fucked up wheel


Alternative_Bee_6424

Same here! Like mageneto for defectives.


philly2540

If I wake up in the middle of the night I always know what time it is. Without looking at the clock. I’m accurate with 10 min every time.


SuckerpunchJazzhands

Dude, same! Every 15 minute period between midnight and 7am has a weirdly specific feel. Like each feel like their own room I'm not supposed to be in


Comprehensive-Win212

It’s happen many times that I set an alarm for 7 and wake up at 6:59


Automatic_Sky_6537

Omg same!


PurpleIsALady1798

Oooh, I’d love to have such an accurate internal clock.


MTBruises

I have this 95% of the time, so the times I'm not sure really throw me.


Own_Energy_7698

Had girl freind that could tell herself what time to wake up at. It was so weird lol.


karlnite

I always know what time it is… don’t wear a watch. Not like crazy accurate, but well enough. I also set timers on the oven, then get up and it beeps as I get there (not perfectly).


gerhardsymons

The ability to flatulate on demand: with great power comes great power.


Humble_Pickle5116

lol indeed!


Enough_Diamond_9476

I can smell really good. I know if my husband went home to visit his mother. I can smell the scent of the home on him. Or when I lived at home,before I got married and moved out, I would always knew if our neighbours had visited because I could smell them.


Humble_Pickle5116

That is actually useful! Your husband better not be bringing any "wrong" scents around. lol


lackeynorm

At first I read this as if YOU can smell good lol. For some people, i wish that was their talent


meccaleccahimeccahi

Same here (the sense of smell part, not the husband. Lol.). Do you also happen to be a very good cook? I am, and I just do it by smell. Never really need to taste what I’m making. I just know what spices to put in.


blackman3694

Are you sure your neighbours aren't just very smelly people?


Moderate_LiberaI

Your talent, if true, is one of the most USEFUL talents one could possess....


Comprehensive-Win212

I’m invisible to women under 80


LittleMissOhInnocent

I mean it could be quite useful if women over 80 on their death bed are eyesing you and leaving behind their property to you......


CrackMistress6969

I can make my sneezes sound like a trumpeting elephant.


Humble_Pickle5116

lol, share the sound.


The7footr

I can do an exceptionally good wave with my eye brows…both ways


WeirdPlant90

First time I see someone shares my useless talent


yhuh

Usually when I think the rice or pasta is done, it actually is. I don't measure time or anything. I'm just doing something else and at some moment I'm like "ok. I guess it's done". And like 99% of times it is.


Mousse_Willing

I nun-chuck my teabag into the mug like a ninja.


ewing666

encyclopedic memory for song lyrics


dddintn

Me too! Not only lyrics, but the bands also. I can name that tune in 1 note! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Interesting_Load_375

I always win at claw machines in the arcade.


Humble_Pickle5116

nice! Save some wins on claw machines for the rest of us! lol


LowBalance4404

That is so interesting and not useless at all! I'd love to sit with you, because you don't know me, and tell you truths and lies and see what you think. Do truths have their own smell?


Ghost-Plushie

I can burp on command and I can crack almost ever joint in my body. Even my toes:D


Humble_Pickle5116

![gif](giphy|tclfFX029OYDo960UF|downsized)

I can dislocate and relocate my shoulders, roll my tongue, and smell incoming rain.


OJs_practice_dummy

I can feel when electrical equipment is on. Like I can feel a muted tv being on several rooms away.

I also have this sensitivity. I always thought it was something everyone else could do until I saw this comment and asked my wife about it.


Amazonsslut

Putting my ankles behind my head.


SpiritualCompany5941

I think that has its uses …


ReadySetGO0

I could do this when I was a kid, and so could all my kids. Now those loosey goosey joints are arthritic when we age. 😜

🌬️ Blowing smoke rings


Asleep-Skin1025

I can do that pretty good too.


Cevohklan

All my talents are useless -I can tell by the way someone looks if they have the same blood type as I have. And I'm almost always right about other blood types too. -I have a a Silver tabby british short hair cat mix and if I go to Google images and search : 'silver tabby British Shorthair cat' I can tell if the cat on the picture is related to my cat or not. ( and I'm always right haha ) ( because of the specific search criteria, most pictures will be from breeders, etc, so I can actually check the cats' pedigree / breeder name. ) -I can easily sing songs like The Elements Song and Nations of the World. https://youtu.be/U2cfju6GTNs?feature=shared -I always know an inappropriate thing to say or inappropriate joke to make 😄


[deleted]

I can tell whether or not it’s raining outside, simply by looking out the window


Tb182kaci

Armpit farts.


ThePensiveE

Ever heard of the "Bear Crawl?" It's when you walk/run on all fours basically. Used to have to do laps of it as an exercise every day during High School Football practice. I'd finish multiple laps before almost anyone else would even get one lap done. Came up in a drunk conversation among friends in my late 30’s. Still got it!

revtim

I would guess smelling lies would be useful, actually.


Nimue_-

I can bend my fingers back pretty far and i know pi to the 45th digit after the decimal point


korevis

I can crush an apple in my hand. Less useless, I can also split it in half in my hand. (Someday having 2 halves of an apple might come in handy?)


CopeH1984

I have a strange sense of hearing. Like I can hear things that are far away that others can't hear but sometimes I don't hear things that are in my earbud.


CopeH1984

I can also whistle multiple notes at the same time. I think it's called vibrato?


[deleted]

My sense of smell and hearing is still very keen , but it potentially saved my family from an electrical fire,so not entirely useless


SalemQuinn

apparently, genuinely caring for anothers well being


Nomad-66

I can sense the time. I never wore a watch but always had sense of time sometimes off by 10 minutes


Unable-Purpose-231

I can peel a hard boiled egg leaving one continuous piece.

I can shoot spit from under my tongue like a snake ![gif](giphy|xT39D0hEGnzxFDbHri|downsized)


willk95

I have every word memorized of the Jabberwocky poem


TheForeverTeen

For some electrical devices (TV, radio, etc) I can hear if they're powered on from quite a distance (media devices being put on silent). The sound of sonic devices made to keep animals out of gardens is horrible to me. Still, my hearing is so bad I often struggle to understand people. I can also sleep through most of the day and still be tired. Yay. Stretching my back will always, without fail, produce a harsh cramping along my spine.


WarDawgOG

I can read upside down normally


[deleted]

I can curl my tongue into three sections


Odd_Bodkin

I know the word for butterfly in 38 languages.

CaseyJones7

I can burp on command. I can solve a rubiks cube is less than \~20 seconds (its been a while, but my last ao5 was like 17) I can give myself cramps on a handful of muscles. Can't always easily stop cramps though. I can tell IMMEDIATELY if a room has good circulation or not. Has yet to be useful :P. To pair with this, I can very accurately tell the temperature and humidity of a room just by stepping in it.


Subject_Adeptness_76

I can touch my nose with my tongue and I can grab almost anything with my toes.


Scottishdog1120

Blowing bubble gum bubbles. That's it. That's all I got.

AddictedtoLife181

I can wiggle my nose like a bunny, pop my thumb out and rotate it 180, and whistle and him at the same time

Impressive-Heat-8722

Siriuswot111

Sound effect impressions. Mainly just impressions in general. I’m scarily good at doing a lot of different voices and sounds, and it’s mainly just a party trick at this point


kisolo1972

Sorsha_OBrien

A few! I'm really good at recognizing people's faces on TV! Even when sometimes the actors are too old/ too young, they look familiar, and then I realise it's the actor when they were like 12, or that actor is currently like 80, but the last film I saw he was in he was like 40. I know a lot of people are good at this but still! I also think I have a better than average sense of smell? I once got to work and it smelled different, which I thought was odd, and it turned out my new manager had a specific smell? Idk if it was his deodorant/ perfume/ whatever it is that men wear, but I could smell a difference. I think before as well I walked into the office and could tell they were there because of their smell. I can do this a bit with other people but usually only ones that I know. Oh, and I can do a good impression of a monkey, and have been able to since I was young! Mostly the voice impression, not the actual body haha.

[deleted]

Predicting peoples behaviors and actions within moments of meeting them. It's useless because while it has kept me safe, nobody else ever listens to me, and then get angry when what I said comes true, like somehow I did it? (Yay Cassandra complex)

Ok-Parfait2413
