Hey Pandas, What Is Your Hidden Or Useless Talent? (Ended)

I would say my talent is skepticism....but i doubt it

This isn't really useful, since I never plan to travel anywhere, but I know Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Old Norse, and English

I can write with both hands at the same time, one writing backwards and the other writing forwards as mirror images of each other.

i can recite the first three chapters of the harry potter books from memory

I can cure anybody's hiccups 100% of the time. Been doing it for 30 years and it hasn't failed once. My favorite happened about 10 years ago, I was sitting in a diner in the French Quarter in New Orleans at 3am with a few friends. This lady walks in who looks like she'd been run through the ringer. She was beet red, and looked like she'd been crying. We were sitting by the door and I asked her what's wrong. She said she been hiccuping for three hours. I cured them in under a minute. She was stunned and so grateful and kept thanking me over and over. My friends looked at me like I was a guru of some sort.

Here's the trick: Use your fingers to plugs your ears and nose at the same time tightly. I press on my ears with my thumbs and use my index fingers to plug my nose. Keep your mouth closed tightly and swallow a few times. If you have trouble swallowing without something, then sip water through a straw.
It has NEVER failed! You're welcome.

This one's a little useful I guess. I can mimic people's handwriting very well (at least my family says so). when I was younger I once wrote 'chocolate ice cream' on the shopping list in my dad's handwriting and IT WORKED. So I guess not useless. . .but still wanted to add this.

I can tell what time it is without looking at the clock beforehand, and I am usually very close to reality. It's a mixture of estimating daylight intensity, how much time has passed since I last looked at the time, what people around me are doing... This "talent" usually makes a very strong impression on people!

I remember everything irrelevant but forget everything I'm supposed to.

I almost never get lost. I'm very good at mental maps or almost anything. I remember a house that my grandparent's moved out of when I was 5. I only got the placement of one closet wrong. I can always get back to a place I've been to having only been there once, maybe twice if it was dark. Funny thing is I cannot tell my right from my left, at all I can't do it, it takes me too long to try to remember which hand is which, you have to watch my hands if I'm giving directions, but my directions are always spot on, with visual cues (like buildings or a sign). If I'm in the car with someone I'm prone to telling people, take a your direction or a my direction.

I don’t know if this is considered a talent but I know a LOT of nursery rhymes. My brother calls me the nursery rhyme encyclopedia. I was considering writing a MEGA nursery rhyme and song book but the copyright laws are just too full on for me.

I can be the last person in dodgeball by staying on the spot and dodging like sans.

I have a very good contact with children, especially babies and toddlers. I don't know why, but they like me and I make them smile and laugh easily. It is perhaps because I am myself a 50 years old kid :-)

I don’t think this is very impressive but I can play songs on the recorder and kids piano without any sheet music. I do it just by sound. The hardest song I have done on the kids piano is My heart will go on by Celine Dion, the recorder is a bit harder so I can mainly do kids songs. But I do know how to play Ode to Joy.

when one of my close friends texts me "hey" i can immediately say in what mood they are :D even if they always start with "hey" sometimes it feels sad or very happy to me..

Some creative people can see songs as colors, whereas I can see certain names as pictures. As a Finnish person I am specialized in Finnish family names, towns and place names. Some names are self-explanatory and very easy to illustrate but abstract names always have the specific sound that takes shape in my mind. Funny thing is that when I tell people about this talent they want to see their own last name illustrated. Very amusing but totally useless talent. (My last name "Turunen" looks like grass with a thistle-like tuft.)

I can put a cherry stem in my mouth and tie a knot in it with my tongue. Great bar trick.

I can do that thing where you hold yourself onto a pole like a flag. It hurts if you do it for awhile but everyone things it’s pretty cool.

I can press down on my eyelid and it makes a sort of fart sound. Don't know anyone else that can do it, and I've searched online for it. My family doesn't really like though.

I can vibrate something behind my eyes, I don't know what exactly, but it makes a sound that only I hear. Does anyone else experience that?

I can read faster than anyone I know. I once timed myself on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I read it in 39:23.

This has not been useful to me except when the teacher handed us a new book back in school.

I also have photographic memory, and can remember everything I have once seen or heard. This has been useful at times, too.
