Hi Pandas, what random skills do you have, but no longer need?
I can marshal aircraft (worked with tiny planes all the way up to 747), but I don't work in aviation any more.

#1

I can do formal logic, but since nothing makes sense in this world, I rarely need it.

I have really good memory for random facts or anecdotes. Want to know the code names of all operations of WW2? Got them. Name of the lookout that spotted the iceberg on the Titanic? Know it. Number of cannons aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar? Yep. Mozart's stage directions for Don Giovanni? Sure.
But... What's the name of the coworker I have known for almost a year or where did I leave my keys? No clue...

I can recognize any song from listening to it for a few seconds and remember all the lyrics in one listen. It’s pretty dumb but its good for one person karaoke at 2am.

i know 4 languages, but majority of time using only English... sometimes another one but that's that :( my grandpa used to know 5, but due to not having anyone to talk to - he forgot. Afraid same will happen to me after years.

#7

I can snap with my toes. I don't know how, but we're talking a full on snapping noise.

#8

I can flare/ wiggle my nostrils at will. Besides an occasional "Hey guess what I can do" moment it has no use.

#9

Not me, my husband. He can waggle both eyebrows separately. Total wave action. Our kids are very jealous.

#10

Due to a past life where I wanted to be a star of the theater, I can sing about 25 different Broadway musicals start to finish from memory. I am not in the theater. I do have the nerdy reputation for having a song for every situation though. Not to mention, my 5 year old thinks I am an improvisational queen!

#11

The ability to fall asleep at work without anyone noticing.

I'm very creative with snarky sarcasm. No longer need it because I pi$$ed off all my friends and family with it. Oops

All the math I learned in highschool. I've never come across a problem in life where I was like "You know what I need? Trigonometry!"

I served in the US Marines..I can put one helluva spit shine on a pair of combat boots.

#16

I have hypervigilance causing my brain to listen to every conversation in the room unwillingly.

#17

I can roll up hills. You know how you get into a "mummy" position and roll down a hill, usually angling off to the side a little? One day, for whatever reason, I decided to see if I could roll uphill. To my surprise (and everyone else's), I could. It's easier than it sounds.

I'm very flexible especially my fingers but it's not very useful in daily life. Just a fun party trick.

#19

Can suck my lip so far back in my face you can see bone structures

#20

I can write upside down, and backwards, in cursive.
