People On Reddit Are Sharing Hilariously Useless Talents That They Have And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones
Let's be real here—not all of us are destined to become a genius violinist or a world-class dancer. Heck, even being an average human being sometimes proves to be too tedious. And it's okay—we're not cut from the same cloth, meaning that we all possess different kind of talents. However, some of them are getting labeled as "useless." Is it fair? I'm no expert to answer. All I can say is that my talent of twisting my feet backwards is yet to come in handy...
Some time ago, one redditor asked people to share the useless talents that they have. Believe it or not, people are full of talents that are considered useless, but are nonetheless fun and fascinating! Someone's weirdly good at recognizing fonts, while another person can hit just about anything within 60 feet with a rock. Who's going to argue that it's not impressive?
Scroll down below to read the 50 most upvoted answers from the redditors, and after reading about other people's useless skills and talents, don't forget to share yours in the comment section down below!

I’m not 100% accurate but I can look at people and tell where they’re from without hearing them speak a single word. I’m American and can do this with Americans as well as non Americans. Example: last summer I had a group of 5 and I identified 2 Belgians, a French and a German. One was so unbelievably impressed that he offered me $50 if I could precisely identify the 5th person, a woman, in the group. I looked at her, guessed French Algiers, and won the most unlikely $50 of my life. I’m a small legend in my line of work and the tourists are dumbfounded every [damn] time.

I'm of multiple ethnicities, raised in a country that's not of those ethnicities, speak languages not of those ethnicities, and culturally identify with something totally different again. I've had one person once, guess one of those ethnicities correctly - but only got one. I'd be fascinated to see if the OP can accurately guess mine.

When you visit the book depository/JFK museum in Dallas, TX, the lady at the ticket counter will ask you , "how are you today", and based on your response, she will ask you, "and what's your Zip code (postal code) beginning with XXX?" giving everyone the first three digits of their postal code in the US based on their accent and response. There are about 42,000 zip codes in the US and they're grouped roughly regionally.

When I was in Istanbul with my family, shop owners always tried to identify us. We lived in the Netherlands back then, but dad's Dutch, mom's German, grew up abroad though. When we walked as a family, "Hey, Dutch people!". Mom and I alone: "German ladies!". Just me: "Hey Swedish girl!". Very interesting

I'm really good at catching things that are falling because I clumsily knocked them over. I'm like an oaf in the front half of a second, and a ninja on the back half; I have roughly the same number of spills as the average person, but with extra steps. I've done it with multiple falling objects, behind my back, with my feet - things usually don't hit the ground around me.
M O'Connell 5 years ago
One of my greatest hits is 'almost' catching something that fell. I was at an auction and a vase rolled off a table while the auctioneer was selling something else. I saw it only as it left the table but I lunged for it from about 8' away. I didn't catch it. It was only about 6" from my hand when it hit the ground. The auctioneer stopped to tell me "Boy, you were hot on it!" to which I replied "Not hot enough." That was 10 years ago and I still think of it as a great compliment.

The bacteria only live in the stinky parts (groin, armpits) because there is a different kind of sweat gland in these areas that secretes chemicals that they can feed on. If you genetically don't produce these chemicals then your pits will smell the same as the rest of your skin, i.e. no B.O.

I can do a ton of voices. You'd think it would be useful, but I've been trying to get into voice acting for 20 years.

The thing about voice acting is that you need to be able to do ANYTHING in character. You need to be able to sneeze as your character, and whistle as your character, not just say a few lines. Voice acting is way underappreciated.
Banjo Peppers 5 years ago
Yeah, a lot of people who can “do voices” can just say like one catchphrase or whatever. I can do a lot of voices as well, but I can’t maintain them for long enough and most of the time the voice goes haywire the longer I talk.

I never forget a face. If I’ve seen it once I’ll remember it if I ever see it again. Pictures are a little harder because it’s a frozen moment in time and they may never look the same way. Case in point, when I was 12 my dad introduced me to a guy and we chatted for a few moments. Almost 30 years later my dad and I were out and I said, “Dad, is that so and so?” And sure enough, it was and my dad was able to reconnect with someone he hadn’t seen in 20 years.

in which case, you should definitely come to Australia for ANZAC Day - the only day where it's legal to play Two-Up (a game of tossing 2 coins & betting on the combination they land on) in pubs etc. It's a game that the soldiers played during WWI & WWII. Normally it's illegal to gamble anywhere except casinos. This is the 1 day where the police will willingly (& with the government's permission), look the other way. It's played in pubs, in honour of the fallen soldiers. So yeah... come here, honour our military, and go home with some good cash. It's also customary that if you win big - you shout a round of beers for the bar (cos that's just good sportsmanship). :D

I can hit just about anything within 60ft or so with a rock. I grew up on a farm, and spent countless hours on our gravel road picking up rocks, and firing away at stuff, mostly fence posts.

I once removed all the aces from a new pack of cards bought by my parents. They took them back to the shop to complain and get the pack replaced . I did the same thing again and once again they went back to the shop. This time the parents made the shop assistant check the pack. I owned up about 10 years later and I have not been forgiven.

I can crawl on all fours extremely fast. I found this out as a teenager in Tae Kwon Do, we did a lot of weird exercises in our workouts, crawling was one and I got tagged in to crawl to one side of the gym and back and went fast AF, I burned everyone. I crawl like a rock skipping across a pond, I even surprised myself and remember some people laughing at the time, it definitely must look strange lol. I did it at home a few times to show people but it gives rug burn very easy.

I can move my ears up and down. Freaks the hell out of people who see it for the first time If you're wondering, I went to a school where twisting your ears was an appropriate form of punishment. One teacher twisted my left ear a little too hard one day and soon enough I could move it. Same thing happened to my other ear a year later.

Just casually start moving your ears while talking to someone. Act like nothing’s happening. It’s hilarious.

I'm really really good at guessing the appropriate container size for quantities of food or liquid. For example when I make soup I don't measure what I put in the pot or use a recipe but it'll always come out as exactly 1 or 2 or 3 quarts on the nose. My boyfriend gets excited whenever I cook and put food away to see if I [messed] up this time, but I never do.

I can make myself sound like a crying baby. It's a sound that comes from deep in my throat and I have to force it, but it legit sounds like a baby.
EA 5 years ago
Oh snap, same! Totally forgot I used to do that randomly in public when I was a kid, if I saw a mum and baby. Used to make me laugh when they would look at their baby and then be confused cos they weren’t crying. I was such a little weirdo :/

I have anodized aluminum pots where the coating has partially worn off the inside. You wouldn't know unless you had experience using that pot, but there is a gradient to the wear with visible breaks at the 4 and 8-cup full levels.

I’m the worst at this. Actually. I alwayyys overestimate. By a lot. I once got a container 15 times too big.

Nystagmus is the technical term for this eye movement and is usually involuntary. Those who can do it on demand, practice voluntary nystagmus. Only 8% of the population can do it. Congrats! You're in the minority

Does this also sound like that: I have my index finger strait, put my middle finger over the knuckle, then put the ringfinger on the middle fingers knuckle and my little finger on my ringfingers knuckel... My kid can push pack his fingers and touch his arm and wrap his right arm around his head and touch his collar bone. It's freaky.

Same! There's a muscle which tenses and then spasms for hiccups, when you know which one it is you conciously relax it. I've always heard that it's impossible to conciously stop hiccups.

I can fee other people's emotions. I'm not really alone in this. It's called hypersensitivity. But only about 20% of the population is like this. It can be useful (for some) but I find it completely invasive. But once I was driving in my warm car with the heat flowing in winter and I looked over at someone running outside (it was a cold day) and the words "I'm cold" came out of my mouth. I had no reason to say that. I realized it must have been what the runner was feeling. I've learned to suppress this.
