Do you have a silly secret useless talent?

[SevenStarSonata]

I find it a lot easier in a mirror, and also, I find dilating them easier than contracting them. A lot easier in fact, come to think of it.

Huh, that's odd...I actually find it MORE difficult to do in front of a mirror because my eye automatically wants to focus on my reflection, which makes it difficult to alter my irises (because, as you know, contracting or dilating them changes your focus...), and even now, I have a LOT of difficulty dilating them, whereas I can contract them instantly...

I wish I knew of more people like us, I'd love to know what other people find easier, and try to figure out why we can do it when, by all means, it should be solely the concern of our autonomic nervous systems...

I have amazing muscle control over my body. I can move my scalp .

Same lol i tried to flap my ears but I instead moved my scalp .
I can also balance a total of 11 Cheerios on the tip of my penis

 

[ZSF]

I have amazingly steady hands.

 

[Asciotes]

I can make the area under my right eye twitch, you can't see it thoug, but i definitely feel it.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I have a photographic memory and can remember details almost to completion. I could meet someone once and rememeber eveything they told me and what they were wearing a year later. I don't think it's really a telent , but really more of an OCD thing.

I guess it's not really useless either... man I suck at this.

Ranked in order of usefulness:

Very good at lying

I can seem to make people forget about me, it's like that thing Susan does in Soul Music only not quite as bad. If I get a little ways away from that person, poof. This was great for evading detention in high school.

I move quietly.

Very flexible. My shoulder sometimes pops out of the socket randomly though because of this. It is quite painful. Therefore I have to have a regular exercise regimen or else I am TOO flexible.

I can also balance a total of 11 Cheerios on the tip of my penis

Oh...god.....if it wouldn't get me suspended, I'd demand "pix/proof or it's not true". Augh. This does not seem possible. I can't even imagine balancing 11 cheerios on a steady, flat surface, let alone a penis...

 

[KarumaK]

I can put my legs (one at a time) behind my head.

I also am fairly good at attracting members of the opposite sex with no effort on my part. Useless to me because I view relationships as a black pit of despair with a promise of future suffering.

 

[General_Potatoes]

i know so much bout the simpsons

 

[InsanityWave]

It took a lot of time to perfect maybe ill take a picture and blur my genitals out XD

 

[Jennacide]

I can move my eyes in two different directions at once. I can also dilate/contract my pupils at will.

I once read an article on the latter, how scientists had discovered a group of pearl divers in South America who could also control their pupils/irises. They thought they were some OMG GENETIC ANOMALY, so I lol'd when I realized I could do it too, and I was some teenage little New York subarbanite.

Wow, I wasn't aware the was considered odd, I've been able to do that too. I just factored it in with the muscle control thing. It's great though, because I have naturally heightened senses I can see amazingly well in the dark and force my eyes almost immediately. But direct sunlight is my kryponite, blinds my vision and I fry like an egg. (Also, I goddam hate that I can hear high pitch frequencies)

 

[nikomas1]

The talent for finding things on the internet, I swear, if I got a buck every time someone said "This is impossible to find" to me... Wait that's not useless

Other than that, My ability to piss people off, and my ability to keep a rhythm, but sing like crap.

 

[rhyno435]

I can drink coffee mixed with coca cola (50/50 ratio)

This is the most impressive one I've read, because there's no way in hell I could do it. /: I mean... ew. Do you enjoy it?

As for me... I can make a clover shape with my tongue.

Spoiler: Like this...

[/spoiler]

But now that I see it in a picture it kinda grosses me out. /:

I can crack my back like crazy. ^^ I love freaking people out with it.
I could also bite my toes, if I decided I wanted to.[/quote]

My cousin can do the tongue thing too lol. I wish I could do it.

 

[ScarlettRage]

I can memorise song lyrics after hearing a song twice, and can sing word for word perfectly any of the 1000+ songs on my ipod, this serves little purpose except for karaoke and entertaining people during powercuts.

O M G

same
^_^
*goes off to sing karaoke because she is awesome*

 

[rhyno435]

This has been mentioned already, but I can hear fairly high pitched frequencies that noone else around me seems to be able to hear.

My friend also says that I can do an "amazing" impression of Dr. Claw from the old Inspector Gadget cartoons. I've never even heard his voice before but apparentely it's uncanny lol.

Also, according to another friend, I have quite the knack for "That's what she said jokes" and other jokes along those lines lol.

One of the best times was when he and this girl were talking (Grade 10 art class). I was just working, they didn't even know I was listening. This was the conversation.

Her: Did you know that there are 3 Londons.

Him: Ummm, there's one in England and one in Ontario, what's the third?

Her: The girl, London is a girl's name.

Me: I've been in London.

I said it so casually, noone expected it, and the room kind of went quiet.

Sorry, I felt I had to share that one, as I'm quite proud of it.

 

[Tears of Blood]

I have some nice bedroom talents...

*Ahem* J/k

Useless, secret talents, eh? Hmm...

I have the ability to be a completely and totally alienate everyone around me. For any small thing. I am not sure why it is. Needless to say, I don't keep friends for very long.

 

[amazinglettera]

Magic. Not "Mystical Magiac" stuff but sleight of hand magic. It doesn't DO anything. At all, ever. In fact, it costs me money to take part in this activity. So, overall, it's useless. WOOT!

EDIT: I love performing tricks for people anyway. It's a good time when I see people's reactions to some fun stuff like simple sleight of hand.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I write poetry, if that counts.

 

[Jedoro]

I can crack my fingers, elbows, neck, back and hips. Also I'm very flexible, thus I can do a backbend from standing position, touch my knees with my forehead (legs straight) and put my foot behind my head.

I checked the whole thread, and no one else said this, so here goes: will you marry me?

OT: I can burp at will. Not little sissy burps, but loud, bellowing ones at will. Can't really figure out how I do it, or how to explain it.
