We all excel at certain things, right?
Buuuuuuuuut, for some of us, those things aren’t necessarily all that USEFUL. Hey, that’s cool too, though! The world needs people who are experts at…chopping broccoli, maybe? I don’t know…
Let’s check out what useless skills AskReddit users are excelling at.
1. I get around.
“Pogo Stick. I used to use it as a mode of “transportation” when I was a kid.
Meaning I would hop all around my neighborhood at a whopping 0.2 miles an hour feeling like f*cking beast.”
2. I love this one!
“Programming names into bowling lane consoles.”
3. Back in the day…
“Remembering phone numbers.
It was far more impressive before smart phones. Not so useful nowadays.”
4. The best around.
“I’m still undefeated in the game where you have to say an animal that starts with the last letter from the animal the other player said.
You keep doing that till someone gives up because he doesn’t know more animals and you’re not allowed to use an animal previously used.
Nobody beats me at this sh*t.”
5. Hahaha.
“When passing out papers to a group of people, I can flick the paper in a straight line up to 6 feet.
It amazes kids. It’s also really fun to hit them in the head with a sheet of paper.”
6. World-class juggler.
“I can juggle all kinds of things, including fire and machetes.
Fun fact: juggling machetes are really expensive but real machetes can be much cheaper. Fun extra danger factor.”
7. I know that voice…
“Recognizing the voices of actors and actresses when they are doing voice overs.
It has never been useful and never will be.”
8. KNOW IT ALL.
“Remembering absolutely useless sh*t.
I’m crush everybody at Trivial Pursuit for this very reason.
People always give me weird looks because I can answer absolute random questions because of a random TV show I watched like 10 years ago.”
9. Chicks dig it.
“I wiggle my ears at an olympic level.
Chicks dig it, or so I tell myself.”
10. Dislocation.
“Dislocating my joints at will.
My illness may be chronic but my party tricks are iconic.
I have Ehler Danlos.
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t. And I never know which one it will be that day until it happens.
My most mobile joints are my hands and wrists, feet, knee and ribs. I can do any joint if I try, but those are the ones that go rogue and pop out on their own.
I know it’s damaging to keep dislocating my joints, even if I don’t feel pain. Don’t worry I don’t go to parties, so I hardly ever do it often. I avoid messing my body up more than it is.”
11. Very interesting…
“I can bark (like a dog) surprisingly well.
I can do different sizes and pitches too its fun but very annoying to do at the dog park.”
12. I care!
“I can name the location of every country in the world on a map.
No one cares though.”
13. That’s awesome!
“The Crane/Claw games. My son’s room is filled with stuffies I got from them.
Every time I go to laundromat my wife mutters “dear god no more.””
14. Like a ninja.
“Throw slippers off my feet and hit anyone.”
15. The expert.
“I can shoot a ping pong ball(from my mouth) up to 15 feet with enough precision to hit you on the forehead 8/10 times. It’s a shocking skill that I haven’t had an organic opportunity to show off since college.
I can also snap a towel so hard the corner tears and is capable of breaking skin. I was homeschooled and have never entered a locker room. I don’t know where I learned that.”
16. I don’t think that’s useless!
“I can parallel park so d*mn good. I remember when I took my driver’s test how easy it was, and I stopped being nervous.
Ever since then friends or family members I ride with, even if I’m not driving and they find a parallel parking spot no matter how snug but manageable they make me do it.
I’m decent at many things, but parallel parking is a skill I have maxed out for some reason.”
Now it’s your turn!
In the comments, tell us what useless skills do you think you’re great at.
We’d love to hear from you!
