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.

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.

1).Kids and dogs tend to like me. 2). If I get a feeling about something/someone and I ignore it, then the thing I was worried about will happen. I now always listen to my gut instinct.

Number 2 is a perception bias. You’re simply neglecting to make note of all the times this doesn’t work out as you expect.

I can make this farting sound when I press down on my eyelid (with my eye, not the other area). My family doesn't really like the sound though......

I can't whistle normally but I can actually whistle with my tongue. I can curl it up and make a whistle sound if I point it up. I have never met anyone who can do this though.

i have Deja Vu at least once a day and it surprises my family a lot when I tell them something is going to happen and it does. (My mother tells me I have a gift but I'm not so sure its THAT special)

Can't say about writing stories, but I am good at writing poems. Here's one, The Swallow Tail's Cry The swallow tail's cry, Against the setting sun, Dipping turning, flying grace, It's mournful cries are done. Hiding, sleeping, running on the wind, Resting with the little ones, As the long day ends, The Swallow Tail's Cry gets swallowed up by night, And ends as day is done, And things are set aright.

I have double jointed toes, elbows, and fingers, and I can make my eyes go blurry on command and if I stare at something long enough my eyes will go out of focus and I will see a doubled image. I can turn my tongue sideways and make a tube with it, I have a freakishly high pain tolerance and have never cried from pain even when it's so bad I vomit, I can memorize facts instantly so long as it doesn't involve numbers

There is no such thing as "double-jointed". It just means you have smaller areas of cartilage, permitting you to be more flexible.

I can bend only the distal phalanx of almost all of my fingers. It creeps people out (I used to thonk everyone can do it up until I was 16 years old).
I can also tell a lot about person's feelings and traits based just on their handwriting.

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.

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.
