Let’s be honest! we all have that one ridiculously pointless skill we’re weirdly proud of.

I can perfectly mimic the Windows XP shutdown sound. It’s never helped me in life... but I’d win gold if it were an Olympic event.


What’s yours?

Folding fitted sheets? Making microwave popcorn without looking?

Drop your useless talent and let’s crown the most unnecessary champion!
 
I was going to post but I don't actually know of any useless skills ... I'll ask the wife when she gets back later and I'll report back.

I DO try to learn a new skill every year and I also spend 12 months learning to cook a new type of cuisine.

So I set myself 2 learning objectives for 12 months to help keep my mind busy and myself sharp. I've learnt everything from shooting upto 900 yards, tracking, welding, joinery, trained forest worker, lock picking all different things really.

Jack of all, master of none.
 
Premature ejaculation, successfully mastered ✅
:DWell hey, at least you're owning it with confidence! That’s got to count for some kind of medal, right? Timing is everything... even if it's a bit too early.

That’s actually super impressive! You’ve taken "useless skills" and turned them into a personal development mission. Honestly, if “diverse skills” were useless, you’d be the most usefully useless person I know. Can't wait to hear what your wife says, you know she’ll drop some gem. :LOL:

Well I try to keep busy otherwise I'm always on the go with work.

Any down time will be drinking and gaming so it's not exactly productive and this way I get to introduce my kids to a range of things

Both my children like clay shooting and archery.

The cooking one I enjoy it so I try to learn as much as I can. I tend to cook for alot of people as well as a result and have I'd different names applies based on food orders.


I'll ask her when she comes in. I can't think of anything stupid skills myself.

I guess one I'm working in now is learning to throw cards and that's come from axe and knife throwing lol

That's a really solid way to balance things, keeping your downtime productive while also involving the kids in hands-on skills. Clay shooting, archery, and now card throwing from axe training… that's a unique skill set.

The cooking angle is impressive too, especially learning different cuisines and cooking for groups. I’m curious about those nicknames you’ve picked up from it, sounds like there’s a story behind each one.

Looking forward to hearing what your wife says about your “useless” skill. I bet she has one in mind even if you don’t.
 
I used to have mastery over sweating plebs in csgo.

Sadly.

It's been many years since I last played.

:(

Seriously cool stuff
 
Asked the wife she couldn't think of anything really lol all she said was drinking but I'm just good at that from practise..

As my names most of them are semi racist so safe ones would be.

Gerryohs - domino's pizza
One guy - five guys burgers

Rest probably not safe for this saloon..
 
I'm an insane Angry Birds player. Like, I've been playing it since 2010 non stop.
 
I keep relatable memes... pictures and videos for chats with my friends.

At times, I hold on to some for years just waiting for the right moment to drop them 😁

The one I used this week was from Peaky Blinders. It landed so perfectly because my friend's name is also Grace and the WA group chat was about relationships that day

I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.

The blokes aren't interested, but you should see the wives and girlfriends' eyes light up :rolleyes:
