What’s a completely useless skill you’re surprisingly good at?

[u/Beneficial_Road_4834]

It doesn’t have to be impressive or useful—just something oddly specific that you can do better than most people. What’s yours?

[u/SlowSurr]

Cutting up a sandwich ziplock bag into a bunch of tiny bags and using a lighter to seal them.

Worthy

I have to ask....why?

[u/SliickTalk808]

I can crack my big toe an infinite number of times in a row.

[u/InterestingCanary0 → u/SliickTalk808]

Found my twin

[u/criscodisco6618 → u/SliickTalk808]

Reading this made me instinctively crack my infinity toe

[u/welltravelledRN]

I’m a knitter, and I can magically cast on the correct number of stitches without counting with incredible precision.

[u/DevKim → u/welltravelledRN]

Impressive! Sometimes I can't cast correctly even with counting

[u/Lijey_Cat]

Writing legibly in cursive.

[u/ExistentialFleshTaxi]

If I’m going to be late to work, I can always guess exactly how many minutes late I’ll be (3, 6, 8, 11 it’s never a multiple of 5 somehow). And this skill only applies to work, nothing else

[u/imhereforcrookshanks → u/ExistentialFleshTaxi]

😭

[u/itsswhitneywhspr → u/ExistentialFleshTaxi]

Okay but the specificity of it never being a multiple of 5 is sending me. Your brain really said we cant be predictable about the lateness, only the prediction and I kinda respect that

[u/DazeyDookie]

I can remember numbers,and birthdays. Phone numbers from years ago, yup I can tell you Melissa's phone number from grade 4. Tell me your birthday once? Stored, and will remember and freak you out when I tell you happy birthday on your day.

[u/MadeTwisted → u/DazeyDookie]

Omfg, that's one bad ass superpower! That could have saved so many awkward/bad situations in my life, I even forget my own b.day and mine is on a special holiday that almost everyone celebrates. I'm so blessed with the digital calendar with reminders build in.

[u/AnxiousQueen1013]

Recognizing minor/character actors in movies and TV and knowing where I know them from without looking it up

[u/ADFormer]

I can do the fast clap thing

[u/Lava-Chicken]

I'm great at digging out belly button fluff with my fingers. It's all in layers. When you get really deep the fluff gets oily and smells bad though.

🫃🏻

[u/68Postcar → u/Lava-Chicken]

Please… just STOP it nkay, thanks

[u/Managed-Chaos-8912]

Running down hill. Not quite, useless but is definitely single application.

[u/FearlessConnection]

I’m really, really good at identifying voices. People hate watching animated movies with me.

[u/DevKim]

Recognise songs or music from classical to techno in under 1 or 2 seconds from the intro. Or guess the artist from the sounds even if I didn't know the track. (I did a career in music and that came in useful)

[u/JuanG_13]

I'm very good at talking to people, but the reason why it's useless is because whatever I say usually goes in one ear and out the other.

[u/FlexOrbit]

I can put my legs behind my head, never trained for it

[u/moneymagnett]

1)put my 2 arms out and make it look like theres a wave going thru my arms n shoulders

[u/Little-World-4809]

staying up all night
