The ability to reverse the growth of your hair, so it goes inwards. And kills you.

The ability to remove and re-apply the product description stickers on electrical appliances without them losing their ability to stick to said appliance.

The ability to hear the thoughts of people you don't know and will never meet.

The power of invisibility, but only when you are underwater, during an eclipse, on a leap year.

The power to reverse time by one hour, but without the power to change any of the events of said hour.
Yeah, sorry, but the last one IS useful...You can't change events but you CAN use it! What if a murder goes on and you go back in time 1 hour to see who did it? By the way the most useless superpower would be the ability to change people's minds to make bad decisions instead of good ones. And the decision that would get them in trouble or punished would always be the decision they made. There's no way that superpower would be useful, because it's always gonna be the bad decision.
I meant that you could re-live the last hour, but without being able to do anything different, basically like a rewind system. You don't see anything new and you can't change where you are looking at any point, so if you missed anything important the first time you still miss it the second time!

But the bad decision one could be used on enemies ( or super villians, whatever) you could just hang around outside their local bar, wait for them to leave, use the power and watch them as they drive drunk into a parked police car!

The ability to absorb, control and use everyone else's superpowers (in the style of Rogue from X-Men, or Peter Petrelli from Heroes, more the latter) but you are the only being in the universe with powers.

True, true...BUT that's just it! The ability would force them to make the bad decision; what if they get killed in the explosion instead of walking home? It's EXACTLY what I said! Someone drunk may have wanted to walk home because they walked to the bar!

By the way, what if I used my superpower on your "Ability to hear the thoughts of people you don't know and will never meet? With my superpower there may be a sudden change, creating an anomaly where either something else happens or you run into them! The growth of your hair inside would be useful; it would mean that a suicidal could kill themselves =D. That one's useful to a suicidal thus being useful to SOMEONE

I suppose the act of having a useless power would be useful to someone with a deep sense of irony

The power to see things in inverted colours. Seriously, a cookie for anyone who can think of an actual use for it.

Oh, the ability to change the colour of your eyes, when no one is looking. Then they change back.

The ability to detect nearby WiFi signals, by head explosion.

The ability to make peas go off 50% faster than normal.

Word on the street is they've formed a tight knit click that excludes incompetent two slotters and standard width toasters.

You could inflate your ego by role-playing that you are a bad-ass hardened criminal every time you speed through a red light. Which is Green to everyone else.
