Another good crappy superpower would be to locate lost keys. In other words go the "last place I looked is where I found them" place. I don't know how many times I've misplaced my keys and have spent minutes upon minutes searching for them, only to find them in the "last place I looked."

Can you imagine getting the lost key signal at 2:43 am.
The mayor: "Hey lost keys finder man, we have an emergency. Some lady can't find her keys to go home. QUICK no time to lose!"
Lost key finder dude: "Huh?? What??"

That would be so awesome!!

I want the power I had back in 7th and 8th grade.. I want to be able to make paper airplanes that can fly. and do tricks with a yo-yo, without hitting myself in the head.

Of course they're in the "last place [you] looked." Why would you keep looking after you found your keys?

My crappy super power would be the ability to poop live rattlesnakes.

Otherwise, my preference would be the ability to stop time for everything but myself.

I think invisibility is a dangerous superpower. Yeah, you can look at tits and all that stuff, but I would bet that sooner or later, you find out something you didn't want to know.

So for my real power, yeah, like everybody else, I'd choose flying. Second real power would be to have super speed. I'd love to make it from here to Hawaii in about 20 minutes.

I'm loving reading everybody's crappy powers.

For my own crappy power, I'd love to be able have all the dishes washed just by snapping my fingers.

Screw flying, Wishing.

You fly thru the air, guarentee you are going to get cold, at what altitude are you going to fly? So high that no one seens you, it's going to be colder, and there's that whole breathing thing... Plus what happens if it rains... or snows, or you just don't feel all that great...

I want to wish myself places...

I wish I was in Tahiti...

Isn't this the power of smell? If something smells like shit, chances are, it's probably gonna taste like shit.

Unless, I'm the only one with this power...Damn...I should have kept this a secret

I would want the super power that lets me adopt other people's super powers. Sure, I know that's cheating, but hey, you're just mad you didn't think of it first.

As for the crummy one, I'd pick an auto-cleaning power, but it would only aply to laundry; as in I could touch any piece of clothing, and then it would be clean.

Good power. Time travel. It'd be so cool to go back and see the dinosaurs, watch geologic processes at high speed, see what was going to happen in the future...

Crappy power. The ability to unhinge my jaw so that I could dump whole bags of doritos in at a time. Maybe some 2 liter bottles of soda too. Additional crappy power would be to vomit them back up on command.

This thread went from boring to fantastic with the addition of the crappy power bit. THANKS!

sorry, don't know how that got posted twice.
well as you never edited your second post, you were clearly already well aware of the existence of the first. so you DO know how it got posted twice. My only question is why the second post, as opposed to just an edit.

anyways, i would want a pair of gills...but invisible gills so that no one thought i was a freak... is that crappy enough or too good?

Crappy power: the ability to conjure limitless quarters, for things like pay phones, laundry and parking meters.

Useful power: the ability to speak any language. Sure...flying, invisibility, invincibility--those are cool. But I'd be too tempted to use them for evil than for awesome. Keep it simple
