I am enjoying these “getting to know you” posts so I thought I would do one as well. Is there something that you can do? Whether it is creative, unusual, dangerous, or useless, etc. Please feel free to share with the Bored Panda community.

    I can cure anybody's hiccups 100% of the time. Been doing it for 30 years and it hasn't failed once. My favorite happened about 10 years ago, I was sitting in a diner in the French Quarter in New Orleans at 3am with a few friends. This lady walks in who looks like she'd been run through the ringer. She was beet red, and looked like she'd been crying. We were sitting by the door and I asked her what's wrong. She said she been hiccuping for three hours. I cured them in under a minute. She was stunned and so grateful and kept thanking me over and over. My friends looked at me like I was a guru of some sort.

    Here's the trick: Use your fingers to plugs your ears and nose at the same time tightly. I press on my ears with my thumbs and use my index fingers to plug my nose. Keep your mouth closed tightly and swallow a few times. If you have trouble swallowing without something, then sip water through a straw.
    It has NEVER failed! You're welcome.

    That's awesome! I too have a hiccup remedy that works 100% of the time too! Its actually almost the exact same! I was bartending years ago and noticed a girl who had a horrible case of the hiccups. I offered to remedy her, she agreed but both her and her boyfriend said it was "No use" as she had had them for 3 days straight! I did my magic and they were gone! 2 hours later, they came back to see me with $200 in a Thank You card for me! Here's mine...Both work great, but you have to have something to focus on (another persons eyes are my favorite thing) If your alone: Get a glass of water with a straw. Find something to look at. Plug your ears. With your ears plugged, take tiny sips of water about 2 seconds apart. Take about 10-15 sips while focusing on something. With someone else- You can hold the glass yourself or still use a straw, but look into someones eyes while taking your sips. I do this with my daughter often and I plug her ears for her! Cheers to us!

    This one's a little useful I guess. I can mimic people's handwriting very well (at least my family says so). when I was younger I once wrote 'chocolate ice cream' on the shopping list in my dad's handwriting and IT WORKED. So I guess not useless. . .but still wanted to add this.

    I can tell what time it is without looking at the clock beforehand, and I am usually very close to reality. It's a mixture of estimating daylight intensity, how much time has passed since I last looked at the time, what people around me are doing... This "talent" usually makes a very strong impression on people!

    I almost never get lost. I'm very good at mental maps or almost anything. I remember a house that my grandparent's moved out of when I was 5. I only got the placement of one closet wrong. I can always get back to a place I've been to having only been there once, maybe twice if it was dark. Funny thing is I cannot tell my right from my left, at all I can't do it, it takes me too long to try to remember which hand is which, you have to watch my hands if I'm giving directions, but my directions are always spot on, with visual cues (like buildings or a sign). If I'm in the car with someone I'm prone to telling people, take a your direction or a my direction.

    I don’t think this is very impressive but I can play songs on the recorder and kids piano without any sheet music. I do it just by sound. The hardest song I have done on the kids piano is My heart will go on by Celine Dion, the recorder is a bit harder so I can mainly do kids songs. But I do know how to play Ode to Joy.

    Some creative people can see songs as colors, whereas I can see certain names as pictures. As a Finnish person I am specialized in Finnish family names, towns and place names. Some names are self-explanatory and very easy to illustrate but abstract names always have the specific sound that takes shape in my mind. Funny thing is that when I tell people about this talent they want to see their own last name illustrated. Very amusing but totally useless talent. (My last name "Turunen" looks like grass with a thistle-like tuft.)

    I can read faster than anyone I know. I once timed myself on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I read it in 39:23.

    This has not been useful to me except when the teacher handed us a new book back in school.

    I also have photographic memory, and can remember everything I have once seen or heard. This has been useful at times, too.

    I have synesthesia . I see music and songs as colours. The best way for me to describe it is when I hear music or songs it looks like I am watching a silent fireworks display where the fireworks are dancing in time to the music. It all different colours too as each different musical part and instrument and voice has its own separate colour and movement. For example T.N.T for the Brain by Enigma or I'll Find My Way Home by Jon and Vangelis are just a riot of colours for me. I also see people's names as a series of colours too. All different colours usually 4 or 5 for each and every name.

    Important to know: I have NO athletic skills whatsoever. However, I can, with pretty high accuracy, toss any sort of remote from my recliner to my husband's recliner and land it face up in his hand the correct way. This is tossing with either of my hands, around a cat, over a plate of food, etc. Whatever. It's simply amazing and it's indeed one of very few skills!!!

    I can do a lot of weird things with my face.
    - Raise and lower eyebrows one at a time, make "waves" with them, wiggle them along music etc.
    - Vibrate my eyes
    - Cross my eyes one at a time
    - Blur my vision without squinting or seeing double
    - Move my nostrils like a bunny
    - "Squint" my nostrils
    - Touch tip of my nose and chin with my tongue
    - Roll my tongue and then bend it in half while still rolled
    - Form a trifold and a cup with my tongue
    - Wiggle my scalp
    - Wiggle my eardrums (you can see it with an otoscope XD )
    - Lower my ears' hearing for a little while using the aforementioned eardrum wiggle muscles (this is actually useful) - when I do it, I hear a humming noise and the eardrum stiffens making it harder for sound to pass through
    - Play simple tunes like childrens' songs by knocking on my head. (Also while brushing my teeth.)

    There's probably more. Most of these are difficult to show to people because I can't do them while laughing/uncontrollably smiling... :D

    I can do two things.



    1.) I can bark exactly like a dog. Like the dog next door barks to me...I bark back. We have long conversations. Wonder what I'm saying. Hope it's appropriate...

    2.) I can make my left eye move on its own. Why I have glasses I guess...

    I can bear-walk (walk on four legs) much faster than most people. I did so all the time in elementary school until this 'friend' started treating me like a dog, making me heel at her side while on all fours and bark. I went along with it because I was too shy to object. Needless to say I stopped bear walking after that experience.

    Since I was a very young child I can call up my toes and run around the house on my toe knuckles. Like with my nails flat on the ground and my heel on the ground. I can still do it at 41 but only for a dozen or so steps. Only a few other people I have met can do it. Try it.

    I can, through force of will alone, generate “chills” from my scalp downward across my upper body. I can actually demonstrate this to people because the hair on my arms will rise up somewhat when I do it. I’ve not seen anyone else make mention of this, but once I post this, I bet someone else will go “Oh! Me too!” :-)

    I can skip things on water in interesting ways. I don't mean I can skip rocks an insane amount of times, but rather I can skip rocks (or other materials) in far from ordinary fashion. A good example of this is when I skipped a shell 3 or 4 times on a marsh from over dunes, 70 feet away. Another time, I skipped a couple fish I had found in some turtle traps I was pulling up (set for a herpetological study, not for consumption). Not something that would ever be helpful, but a fun trick all the same.

    Everyone can do this. The outer ear is mainly cartilage, without it, it would be just hanging skin. Cartilage is very flexible due to the amount of collagen and elastin fibers.

    I commented this earlier but I can pop pretty much any joint in my body. This includes my neck, shoulders, back (in several different places), shoulder blades (occasionally), elbows, every joint in my fingers, all my toes, my hips, my knees, my ankles, I can even pop this place in foot, it's near my toes and towards the inside of my foot. I love freaking people out by popping my ENTIRE body.

    I can change which one is my dominant eye. It takes approximately a second and feels like you look out of your house using different windows - you can choose the right one or the left one.

    Guess I have several useless talents 😅 I play rollerhockey (over here it's the same as ice hockey but with a ball and one player less and of course no ice) and though i am not the fastest or a goal getter my talent lies in blocking shots and going on like nothing happened even if it really hosted and scraping balls from the goal line in the last second :D (this is not that common for a girl in a men's team over here)

    Non sports related i speak German, English and italian fluently, can survive in danish and french and learned Irish, Scottish and latin at school/university.

    Oh and i am good at remembering things like exam dates of friends and in which class 6 years ago I learned what during my undergraduate. Normally i am within 2 or 3 weeks to the date we did a topic in reality 😅

    My son, not me. He is a walking comic book Encyclopedia. I started getting him comic books at a very young age as my family was into them when I was young (he had over 5000 before an accident lost them all ten years ago). Over the years, his friends, co-workers and even friends of friends would call him up to ask questions or to try to test him. This started before internet and cell phones. I can't tell you the number of times he would get calls at all hours of the day and night because someone needed to have an argument resolved. He is in his 30's now and it is still the same only now he gets the majority of his comics digitally.

    I doubt that's unusual. Focusing on one voice and tuning out others is exactly what people do when they have conversations in crowded places. Not all people can identify instruments well, but that's likely just ignorance, not inability.

    I have a really weird thing for remembering everyone’s birthday. People I met a long time ago who mentioned their birthday or acquaintances are surprised when I still remember a long time later. Teachers would have me tell them everybody in the class’s birthday. I don’t know how I do it, but I know many people’s birthdays that I don’t even know very well.

    Yeah I can do this too. I remember a lot of Birthdays I wish to forget :/ I asked someone their Birthday & bam months later I'm saying Hey!! Happy Birthday here are some flowers! It's expensive.. Since I'm a given and feel the urge to buy gifts. It's also lonely because rarely anyone has rememberd or cared about mine.

    This is really random but I can bend the top joint of my right pinky finger back at least 90 degrees.

    I can twist my pinky finger behind my ring finger so much that no light gets through

    I don’t really know if this is a talent or something but I have great hearing and can tell who is walking/running by the rhythm and sound of their footsteps. I don’t really think this is that special since another friend of mine can do this too.

    This might be another talent I don’t know but I always know when it’s raining even if there is no sound or I only had just woke up. When it’s raining I always feel very happy no matter when.

    Snarkiness. And comebacks, although I never show it. :)

    Well, I have this strange thing I can do but idk if it's normal so, basically I can make a weird noise with the dangly thing that hangs in ur neck and it sound like A) An alien ship powering up or B) An Alien stranded on earth curiously trying to communicate.
