Hi Pandas, what random skills do you have, but no longer need?

I can marshal aircraft (worked with tiny planes all the way up to 747), but I don't work in aviation any more.

#1

I can do formal logic, but since nothing makes sense in this world, I rarely need it.

    I have really good memory for random facts or anecdotes. Want to know the code names of all operations of WW2? Got them. Name of the lookout that spotted the iceberg on the Titanic? Know it. Number of cannons aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar? Yep. Mozart's stage directions for Don Giovanni? Sure.
    But... What's the name of the coworker I have known for almost a year or where did I leave my keys? No clue...

    I can recognize any song from listening to it for a few seconds and remember all the lyrics in one listen. It’s pretty dumb but its good for one person karaoke at 2am.

Then I'll make a whole universe, storyline and other related characters to join them. reasonably useful for, say, an author, but I'm not an author. Also this one is genuinely useless, if someone gives me a number i can probably tell you what SCP has that exact number and give you a rundown of what they do.

    I can milk a cow. Not something I need to know since my parents sold the cows and retired 15 years ago. I can also do many other things usually done on farms. Kind of uneseccary as an accountant.

    I have long toes that I can move like fingers and so I am able to use my feet as another pair of hands. Unfortunately, I am requited to wear shoes at work, and so it doesn't help me there. But this skill is very helpful when I am doing DIY projects at home. Have you ever been trying to do something and felt that you needed a third hand? I have a third and fourth.

    I can make a clover with my tongue and move something in my arm to make weird noises (not sure what exactly or why, it just happens). Not useful at all, but they're neat tricks.

    But I bet you're smart enough to know when pretending to be "huh??" is the right thing to do. Being intelligent is a skill and a gift. Using it wisely is an art.

    I can meow like a cat, bark like a puppy, and bark like a dog. All very realistic. Once I meowed at lunch and everybody thought there was a cat inside. I can also do cloverleaf tongue, bend one section of my middle finger, and put my fingers one after the other in both ways. All of these are useless but they are pretty cool to me!

    I can look at any nut or bolt and know the exact mm socket I need. It’s a skill I’ve had most of my life but I didn’t work with cars until a few years back when I started vinyl work so I don’t know where I picked it up. It’s not a completely useless skill but it isn’t really useful either. Lol. And I can wiggle my nose. Maybe I should be the Easter bunny for kids. :) that would be somethin. Bipolar Easter bunny? Yes please! Otherwise the nose wiggle is just here to weird out the dog and cats!

    I can come up with terrible, groan-inducing, dad-level puns basically on the spot. My friends are all sick of them so I've been asked not to do it anymore, but maybe I could have a career writing kids' joke books or punny valentine cards.

    I remember addresses very easily and can give the address of every place I stayed plus all my friends current and past addresses. I also remember the layout of houses and buildings years after. So I can walk into a place I have not been to in years and instantly know where everything is. Don't ask me to remember names of people though or recognise people, that I am hopeless at.

    I can sing (cluck?) any song like I'm a chicken. Not that this is really a SKILL because I'm sure it's something anyone can do. WHY someone would want to do it is a whole 'nother question! But it's something I find MYSELF doing almost unconsciously, especially when the song fits the style. (The theme song to Star Trek is a perfect example of a song that fits the style! LOL!)

    I can also tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue!

    Neither of these are useful in any way!

    I can clean and sterilize surgical instruments. I was a processing technician for 5 years and know hundreds of surgical instruments and their proper methods of cleaning and sterilization, but I don't do that anymore so it's just a bunch of useless information hanging out in my brain. It's not often I get to explain the proper use of glutaraldehyde..

I was treating this disease for almost 4 year, I was cured with World Rehabilitate Clinic formula. This is medication that totally kills cancer cells. They also have a cure for hysterectomy issues, Alzheimer's Disease and more other chronic diseases. Contact ( worldrehabilitateclinic.com or WhatsApp +17278553511.

    I got my Masters in Clinical Social Work, with a 4.0 average, a few years ago. I was in my early 60's, and not one agency within 4 states, would even give me a job interview. They all required me to reveal when I got my first college degree and that 1970's date sent my app straight to the black hole. There is a desperate need for therapists in this country but age discrimination is much stronger than the public interest. Many older adults are in a similar position and their years of skills are being wasted due to stereotyping and other factors. There is almost no enforceable legal remedy for this form of discrimination.

    I’m ambidextrous, which in itself can be sorta useful: It doesn’t matter whether the mouse is or left or right side of the keyboard for example, and back when I worked as a teacher kids found it funny that I started writing with my left hand and continued with the right on the chalkboard. Anyway, as the world is mainly set up for right-handed people, I quietly pretend being one myself, as well.
