Mine is that i can fold a fitted sheet so well that it's impossible to tell the difference between it and a folded flat sheet 🙈

Your turn!!

I can talk with my mouth fully closed

paulhollywoodshairgel · 10/10/2022 23:23

I can recall and sing the lyrics to all my favourite Disney songs and many others! I can also recite several movies.

I can waggle my ears.

Naginia · 10/10/2022 23:24

I can twerk.

AsanteSana · 10/10/2022 23:26

Everything which I touch or have a connection with becomes a disaster area!😂

PinkButtercups · 10/10/2022 23:48

I can touch my nose with my tongue (I have a lizard tongue I get told) it is long.

I can also roll it up on both sides and flip it from side to side. No hands needed.

Just filling in my BGT audition form as we speak.

ManAboutTown · 11/10/2022 00:09

I can cup my hands put put them together and move them to make farting noises

PauliesWalnuts · 11/10/2022 00:13

I apparently make the best profiteroles in the world (thanks to a week on choux pastry at catering college).

I can’t flipping stand them.

I don’t think this is a useless talent ! I need instructions please.

Iamthewombat · 11/10/2022 00:22

I’m great at doing cartwheels. I’m a 50 year old chartered accountant.

That's worse than useless - I want to know which type of sheet is which.Grin

HerrenaHarridan · 11/10/2022 00:24

I can strip down an sa80 assualt rifle and reassemble it in 60 seconds.

well it would probably take me a few tries to get that quick again as i havent done it in years but its a muscle memory now after all the practice it took to get that quick.

VeridicalVagabond · 11/10/2022 00:26

I can eat an average sized apple in two bites.

LadyGAgain · 11/10/2022 00:29

These are impressive! Especially the sheet and talking with mouth closed (is this like a ventriloquist?).
I can write backwards. Joined up and super neatly. Like proper handwriting. I'm so proud of my utterly useless skill.

Hawkins001 · 11/10/2022 00:33

I seem to have some basic level skills but seemed to be acquired via genetic memory, rather than actual training either that or I'm just strange.

PermanentTemporary · 11/10/2022 00:35

I'm quite a good rower. It's really not very useful. Took some years to get that good though.

2bazookas · 11/10/2022 00:37

Origami. Also I can make corn dollies.

BrianWankum · 11/10/2022 00:42

I can pick up hot things with my fingers.

Can also skin up nicely 😂

dresseduptothe9s · 11/10/2022 00:44

I can whistle very tunefully through my teeth.

Huntswomanonthemove · 11/10/2022 00:45

I’m very good at naming the composers of classical music. 🤷‍♀️

tiddlywinks2 · 11/10/2022 00:45

I can listen to a song twice and then be able to recite it word for word.

Quite jealous of some of your talents though, I can't fold a fitted sheet to save my life! And I would love to be able to make perfect profiteroles!

1994girl · 11/10/2022 00:46

Naginia · 10/10/2022 23:24

I can twerk.

Yuck

HermoineJeanGranger · 11/10/2022 00:47

@2bazookas I would love to be able to do Origami! I've tried and failed so many times it's embarrassing at this point 🙈

@LadyGAgain This is impressive, well done!

@AsanteSana aww bless 🙈🥲

I can raise one eyebrow, waggle my ears, and whistle incredibly loudly with my fingers.

SiobhanSharpe · 11/10/2022 00:53

I can sing all the words to the 50s hit record

'She wears red feathers and a hooley-hooley skirt' (i.e. hula-hula) by Guy Mitchell.
It used to be my party piece but It's not terribly appropriate these days.😳
I can dance a mean Charleston.
