People Share The Most Useless Skills They Have, And We Honestly Think They Are All Cool Because Of It
Some of these aren't even that useless...
As people, we all inevitably stumble upon certain skills that we acquire as we get older, in addition to the multitude of hobbies we gather along the way. Let's be honest: life would be pretty boring if you didn't have a little something to look forward to doing whenever work is out of the way.
Some people may learn practical skills like welding, carpentry, cooking, and the like. While these are certainly helpful as we grow older, they are just... well, too common, perhaps? Just kidding—some people possess a special ability to absorb some pretty unique skills that no ordinary person would even think of trying to learn.
Think deeper: do you have any skills that you consider useless? Some people take pride in the fact that they know how to chirp like a bird, meow like a cat, or tie their shoelaces with just one hand.
That being said, when someone by the handle u/Billa_420 on Reddit posted the question: "What is the most useless skill you have?" in the r/AskReddit community, about 6,000 people flocked to the comment section and shared all the skills they believe are useless—but are proven otherwise by others commending them for it. Some responses are hilariously phrased, and some are just plain cool when you think about it.
