rushes to the front of the line
When it comes to playing pool: If it’s a difficult shot, I can usually make it. However, the easier shot, the more likely I am to mess it up. I’m the idiot part of idiot savant.
Good one!
When I worked at Disneyland, I was the fastest fry cook at my restaurant. Doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas Eve on a Saturday with lines 15 deep and 18 registers open, I can cook the fries by myself with no help and keep it up for at least 4 hours. Makes lunchtime easier on the rest of the staff because they don’t have to spare 2 or 3 people to run one operation. I don’t burn any either, my fries come out perfect.

My band does a crowd pleasing Carny Man - Cross Canadian Ragweed and Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root medley that gets them up dancing.

I’d actually like to hear that. I don’t suppose you have a youtube video or something?
I can not only belch on command, but I can suck the air into my stomach to do it without closing my mouth at any point., meaning that I can belch over and over and over. Big hit with my nephew, not so much with my sister.
I can untangle any knot from a necklace no matter how small the chain or the degree of knot. I’ve never broken a necklace doing this.
My younger sister is able to flare her nostrils and move the dimple on her chin in and out. At the same time. Nostrils out, chin dimple in. Chin dimple out, nostrils in. Freaky and supremely useless.
I don’t drive, so when I go shopping at CostCo, I bring a backpack. It’s a big external frame backpack, but still - a backpack. After verifying my cart full of stuff matches my receipt at the exit, I go back to the food service area and proceed to stuff that whole cart of food into the backpack. This includes items like a sub-primal of ribeye steak and a 36 pack of eggs. I get it all in there so nothing arrives at out home - a bus and a train later - broken, wet or thawed.
Other people sitting there eating their pizza or hot dog have actually applauded when I finish packing.
I can perfectly imitate the sound of the kazoo by playing a film of saliva in the gap between my two front upper teeth.
I can play a melody on a bottle. Unvarying amount of liquid in the bottle, wide range of different notes.
I forgot to mention, I can gleet up to 15 feet, any time I want too: completely voluntary. It took several hours a week, through both my freshman and sophomore years of highschool to develop this skill, but now I haz it.
Don’t forget you can also do this when you sneeze.
If I were to do both at the same time, I am quite confident my head would explode.
Probably leave a crater the size of Dubuque.
This must be a German thing, then. My best friend in highschool was German and she was AMAZING at doing this, just like you say. She’d dart over to a median strip and pluck out a four or six leaf clover! I’m kind of like that with seashells. I find really great seashells where no great seashells seem to be had. Pretty useless.
I can also do splits three ways without standing up: right side, middle, left side, then back again. Fun to watch people wince…
I have a lot of useless game skills. I’m really good at L5R (the card game). I can recite the Gettysburg Address from memory, along with a bunch of different poems.
But my Super Mario Brothers 3 skills have to be the best combination of useless and amazing. I can beat the game in about sixteen minutes (using warp whistles, of course). I once got about fifteen and a half. That’s not speed-run calibre, but it’s pretty intense.
I can smoothly flip almost any coin back and forth over the tops of my fingers. My favorites are the British 1 pound coin and the Indian 5 rupee coin.
I also used to be freakishly good at foosball. Turns out women are not at all impressed by this.
ETA:
I can do this as well. Even bigger hit with the ladies.
I can poop in perfect silence.
See? You didn’t even know it.
[Alien] On the Internet, no-one can hear you poop [/Alien]
Procrastinating.
But it probably crosses the line from least important and into decidedly harmful territory.
This is impressive, and definitely not useless.
Gleet?

Um. That’s… special? Don’t mind me, I’m going to edge nervously the hell away from you and your projectile gonorrhoea discharge.
I’m going to assume he meant gleeking, but I confess I’m going to think of projectile gonorrheal discharge every time I see his user name for a good long while.
