What obsure skill do you have?

[Intrepid_Arjuna]

I can tie my shoelaces with one hand - something learned from eating and getting dressed simultaneously when Im short of time...

 

[kendra1980]

I can print in almost perfectly aligned, and continually proportionate block letters, free hand, with no tool to keep me on track.

 

[Daizie]

I can pick things up with my feet. Not many people can do that I have found.

What can you do that is unusual, obscure, that bit different that none of your friends can do?

someone told me I had a knack for sending her song lyrics that matched what she was feeling... or picking just the right song to play for her. I dunno if that's a skill or if I've just been very lucky.

I can juggle. I love doing it in the grocery store with things like oranges or grapefruit. It never ceases to amaze someone when I do this before putting the items in my cart. I learned it many years ago from my brother. We even tried juggling things between us, tossing them back and forth, but I never could get it down very well. He can do it fine though, if he has a partner!

I can juggle.

you just impressed the hell out of me. I'd love to be able to juggle but my coordination isn't nearly good enough.

I pick some things up with the feet. it depends on what it is.

Sure you could! I love teaching people, it's really not that hard. With 30 minutes practice you'd be amazed at what you can do.

since you live so far away, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt... maybe you could teach me. all I know is someone tried to teach me once and it didn't go so well.

maybe we shouldn't have started out with the chainsaws.

LOL...it's been a dream of mine to juggle burning items, but so far I have resisted the urge.

if I ever see the headline "juggler starts colorado housefire" I'll know you finally gave in to temptation.

I'll tell the insurance company you put the thought in my head!

My hand-eye co-ordination is very very good. I do stuff without thinking and most sports like golf, tennis, etc I pick up almost immediately with no tuition.

I was a top 20 nationally ranked table tennis player not so long ago (in my youth), and excelled at most sports.

My mouse control is also very good, and I got over 500 on the tennis keepie-uppy game (which I can send anyone interested)... where most people can't get over 100. Though some people will tell you my keyboard skills need improvement...

I also win almost all general knowledge quizzes I enter(my father used to say I was a font of useless information and didn't know anything of use... bless him... but he was right), and I used to think I was good at compiling them... until I came here.

You're also good at exasperating me in the "Which Lit-ster is this" game!

 

[Stegral]

something none of my friends can do....
within my CLOSE circle of friends none can drive a tractor trailer...
none that I know of fix thier own car either...

nothing my co-workers that are friends can...
wrangle snakes, handle lizards or feed either by hand...

I lead multiple lives...
they rarely intersect...

 

[frostyred]

Oh and most people can platt three strands together. For hair and such. I can do more. In fact, the family record, held by me, stands at 108 strings platted together in one ........... belt. And I can platt roundplatt too as well as flat

Swords, leather, and he knows how to use rope.....

My obscure skill is ...

Annoying people

 

[MSH2]

My obscure skill is ...

Being so damn sexy I annoy people

Truth!!!

 

[MsTexas]

Truth!!!

LMAO ...

I'll go along with that one too

 

[xxxPEACHxxx]

I'm a contorsionist and I also have this strange ability to find just about anything people lose. I hardly have to look for it. It's weirded out a few of my friends in the past.

 

[frostyred]

I forgot to mention my obscure skills when I was through here, earlier.


I can barbeque in the dark.

I can look at a piece of clothing and know whether, or not it will fit someone.

It's easy for me to understand almost any accent, or bastardization of the English language.

geez I could have used U - how come no one is ever there when needed

 

[In Anticipation]

I can pick things up with my feet. Not many people can do that I have found.

Me too, but it can creep people out when I do it without thinking.

I can also reverse a trailer into a narrow opening, use a slide rule and I'll have to think about the rest.

Obviously having instant recollection of what I can do isn't one of them.

Er, change gear in a manual car without using the clutch (or crunching the gears)?

 

[Miss Eggroll]

I can hear a word and immediately pronounce it backwards. Not a hard thing to do with short words, but when you do it with a longer word, something like "refrigerator"...it impresses the hell out of people. I don't need to see the word written down to do this.

I can do a wheelie on my motorcycle. Well, OK, a small one.
