What silly useless thing are you good at?

[The Nameless]

I can pick stuff up with my toes. I can also bend each of my fingers past 90 degrees, my left index finger to the back of my hand, and I can bend my thumbs in to touch their respective arms. I can also bend the tips of my fingers while keeping while keeping the rest of them straight.

Tough question for me to answer considering just about everything I do is silly and useless.

Me too...

 

[The Nameless]

And yeah I CAN read upside down, but backwards is a bit of a challenge;

I can only write sideways - if I write on a4 paper I lay it landscape, and write portrait, basically I write upwards.

This may sound disgusting, but I can expell a thin precise line of saliva by flexing the base of my tongue. Picture a snake spitting venom, it's exactly like that. Don't know if that's common or not.

I'd like to see that, could you do a quick video selfie and post it?

I cut the best paper snowflakes you've ever seen.

"expell a thin precise line of saliva by flexing the base of my tongue."

"Gleeking" is a bit uncommon. I've got my aim down pretty well.

I tried but my only video camera is my phone and it can only record in MMS quality - so small you cant see anything, or full HD - less than a minute is over 100MB. Sorry, here are some pics though.

Spoiler: Pics of my writing and bendy hands

My writing:


Bendy hands. Before:

I wasn't even aware there was a name for it.

The Nameless Thanks for the pictures. Your writing is cool, but your bent hand gives me the heebies.

They can go further, that's just where I start to feel pressure. I can lift my fingers up to about 45 degrees, without touching them, while keeping my palm flat. I always thought everyone could do that until a friend told me that I'm just weird.

...so can Tracy...we are lucky, lucky fellers....

It's a good way to get free drinks at a bar too! And yes you two scamps are VERY lucky fellers indeed!

 

[Agincourt Concierge]

Tongue rolling is hereditary -only my mom and I could do it. My dad thought we were weird-we'll at least that was his story in front of us..... I have feeling he had other thoughts when it was just him and mom...

I can always win a drink bet at a bar with a pool table trick shot (if they don’t already know the trick).

Here's a video on how it's done.

I can bend my thumb to touch arm but getting harder older I get also have monkey feet handy when you wish to retrieve and not bend over

I can do that too! As you said harder now that I'm just a little older. Monkey feet here too.

 

[The Nameless]

Yeah, I've noticed it getting harder as I get older too (settle down Scott ). I can also bend my left thumb the other way - backwards rather than downwards - to touch my forearm. Bending my left index finger back to my hand is getting harder now, and painful if for more than a second.

I have some weird joints, my wrists and ankles click loudly on every rotation, I can click my jaw loudly. I can stand with all of my considerable weight on the side of my left foot, quite comfortably actually. But not my right.

 

[HollyGolightly]

I do that myself when I wear heels. LOL

Bookworm! You got motion! Cool!

what silly unless thing at i good at, well as i live in a country where it who you know that gets you the job and because i am very good at what i do if given the chance i.e competent and where computers jobs are supposedly available i would say computer programming not html, not web programming c++ java c cobol. But because i am competent and know what i am doing plus i dont know anyone to get me into programming, becasue i got an A in programming and am good enough to go to MIT i am unemployable. welcome to IReland, where your a genius er if you can use Facebook.

Pardon the sarcasem. but i can put 20 coins on my elbow and throw them and then catch them. hmm. i thought of being a stand up comedian but haven't the energy so i will be a sit down comedian

 

[booklover72]

I can turn on the bath tub taps with my feet. I don't think it's entirely useless. Sometimes you don't want to sit up from lounging in the tub.

i always do that, when i am having a bath, if it gets too cold i use my feet to turn on the hot one. We have a lot in common. we should get married.

I'm pretty good at trivia. I have tenants in the building who come to me to find answers to settle who's right or wrong. Sometimes that can be pretty useless and silly, but they think I'm brilliant. Go figure!
