I’m really good at throwing bits of rubbish into bins, from a long way away. Doesn’t translate into any useful skill though – I was always annoyingly rubbish at shooting in basketball, and I’m the world’s crappest darts player.

Common sense appears to be a rare skill.

I can get a duvet into its cover in a move that takes less than a couple of seconds and ends with the bed perfectly made and with me in it. Occasionally I do destroy a lampshade as part of the manoeuvre though.

In any given situation I can make a decision that is the exact opposite of the one my wife would like me to take. I’m a natural at it, apparently.

That needs video MCCK

One day there might just be one 🙂

I can scratch my balls at inappropriate moments without even realising I’m doing it e.g. in front of the mother in law…

I’m good at throwing teabags into waiting mugs from the other side of the kitchen. More specialised than molgrips I’d say 🙂

Effortlessly open a bottle of beer with a spoon, it also makes a satisfying “POP”
You see so many people struggle and hurt themselves,

As above, I can open beer bottles with a huge array of random objects.

Can use lighters, cutlery, a belt, a shoe, a ski, another bottle etc etc.

My favourite is a fish slice though, big pop!

Wait.. dry teabags into waiting hot water? Or used ones into empty mugs?

I had a bottle (coke, not beer) the other day, and no opener. I used the back edge of knife held over the edge of a table. Smack on top, done, no damage to table or knife.

Molgrips and yossarian take note…

My gf puts her pants on without her feet leaving the floor

(and before you ask – no vids of that)

I can open beer bottles with my teeth and moonwalk

Dry into hot water, but wrightyson has upped the ante with that video now

I can do a full day of work and remember nothing about it just an hour after I finish.

I’ve a ‘proven’ ability to juggle pretty much any 3 objects.

Give me an orange, a shoe box and an angry cat and I’ll juggle them.

There’s a rabbit hole of “amazingly fast workers” videos on youtube

I can detect the a Lynx user, two days before they enter a room

Not usd any more but I can roll a perfectly smoke able fag with one hand. Always a handy skill when climbing/working on the ropes.

I can drive.

That’s a rite of passage amongst the German yoof. Still the ability impresses friends of mine back home.

My main skill is being able to destroy any mountain bike part ever made just by riding along. I managed to split a Hope rear hub in half last Sunday riding uphill on my singespeed! 🙁

I make one of the best Kaiserschmarrn ever…. B better than 95% of those you’ll find in a restaurant.

As Rover Stern says, this is the done thing in Germany… Think there is an unwritten rule that people adhere to (unless you are a Spießer or Preiß) that says you must open a bottle with anything but a bottle opener….

I can hypnotise house flies and casually squash them with my finger.

I can avoid flirting shamelessly on t’internet with random strangers who may or may not be actual ladies.

Drac you’re a rare bird in this country then.

That’s your subconscious sending a signal. You should just run with it, see where it leads.

“Common sense appears to be a rare skill“

As a previous boss was fond of saying: “Common sense is not very common”

I can catch sweets in my mouth thrown from great distances or to great heights.

I can guess Revels, even differentiating between the orange and chocolate fondant.

Mine is to remember useless bits of information. My day to day memory is pretty poor and unless I make a note for myself, I forget even the most basic stuff. I am even worse with names.

But, I seem to be able to remember the tyre sizes and pressures for a motorbike that I sold 5 years ago, the code to get out the car park at a hotel I spent the night in before christmas, the combination for the bike lock I had as a kid. The more obscure and useless the piece of information, the better chance I’ll remember it.

i can throw 3 cigarettes ( one at a time) lighted end first and catch them in my mouth so i end up with 3
i can also balance a half pint of beer on the back of my hand and toss it up in the air slightly and catch it without spilling any, well not much.

I can drink a pint in less than 4 seconds.
Mild or Stout, for preference.
Lager gets messy.

Used to be able to do regular sub 3’s, but age comes to all trained athletes eventually.

I consider myself gifted.
