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 make a chicken out of a tea towel.

Iamclearlyamug · 11/10/2022 10:48

I can dislocate my left thumb and put it back in on command 🤦‍♂️

Think I win the most useless talent so far 😂😂

I can pack parachutes. Totally useless for me now but it used to be useful so I don't know if it counts. I can also make a chicken out of a tea towel.

I seem to have a talent for breaking technology.

I’m good at creating order out of absolute chaos at work but that’s not really that useful because I can’t do it at home!

No matter where I'm the world I am I always know which direction my house is in and I can imagine exactly what way my front and back doors open. And I've never been wrong. No matter where I am I just know which direction things are. I am great at finding places and getting unlost as well. It's not something I've ever been taught though, it's just a really good inner compass I suppose.

I'm really good at speed cup stacking. Even when it's plastic solo cups, not the special stacking ones. Absolutely useless.

Meadowbreeze · 11/10/2022 11:04

@somebody2lava my sister is like this! It's the opposite of useless though. She is severely dyslexic and dyscalculic so we have no idea where this talent is from. I'm jealous of you both.

Badger1970 · 11/10/2022 11:06

I can speed read.

It's a bloody useless and annoying skill especially with the TV banner when DH takes 20 minutes to read 3 lines Hmm

Surely he can mitigate the some of the indignity by taking off his socks first, before the rest of his clothes?

You’d think so - but no 😀

PornographicPriestess · 11/10/2022 11:09

I need to know why someone reported twerking

grey12 · 11/10/2022 11:12

I can touch my nose with my tongue 😛 not sruggling, proper touch, when I'm being silly with my kids I pretend to pick my nose (I can just reach the entrance of the nostril) 😳

LizTrussIsACylon · 11/10/2022 11:13

I'm left handed but can write forwards with my right hand and in mirror with my left hand at the same time.

husbandcallsmepickle · 11/10/2022 06:17

I can read and write upside down and back to front

I can also read anything turned anyway but I'll give writing a go one of these days 😉

Icannoteven · 11/10/2022 11:15

I can queef on demand.

EvilRingahBitch · 11/10/2022 11:17

I can recite the alphabet backwards in ten second, and name all the Fred and Ginger movies, even The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle which practically no one else has ever seen.

emmetgirl · 11/10/2022 11:50

I can still do the splits at 56

Frezia · 11/10/2022 14:34

My thumbs bend both ways.

devilinareddress · 11/10/2022 16:15

I can imitate Michael Jackson

BryceQuinlanTheFirst · 11/10/2022 16:16

I can get into lotus without using my hands

nannybeach · 11/10/2022 16:20

I can peel an apple with a knife in one piece without the peel breaking.

AceofPentacles · 11/10/2022 16:31

I can rap the entirety of Know How by Young MC

Exasperatednow · 11/10/2022 16:32

I can wriggle my nose like a bunny, forever...or until I chose not to.

dudsville · 11/10/2022 16:32

I'm reading this and picturing a MN version of Who's Got Tallent!

I don't think it was the 'twerk' comment that was reported. I think it was the reply of 'yuck' that was reported.

ghostsandpumpkinsalready · 11/10/2022 17:03

I can easily lick my nose with my tongue 👅
It's huge 🤣 ( not my nose may I add that's a normal size 😂)
