People Are Sharing The Hilarious Everyday Activities That Would Earn Them Olympic Gold

Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share an everyday activity, trait, or skill they possess that could win gold if it were an Olympic game. The results had me mentally preparing for the ridiculous make-believe trials in four years:

2."Pissing people off. I just magically know the thing to do in any situation to piss people off. Often my mere presence is enough."

5."I know the choreography to way too many K-Pop dances. If there was a dance cover content, I could contend with anyone on the planet."

6."Needing to wipe the least after taking a dump. It's an unreal gift. And yes, my butthole is clean. Squeaky cheeks!"

7.My mom had surgery on her throat about 20 years ago that somehow completely removed her capacity to get brain freeze. She can inhale absolutely any frozen food or dessert and never have to worry about brain freeze. I've seen her do it. If eating ice cream fast was an Olympic sport, she'd be a 20-time Gold Medalist.

9."Conking out the second I get into a moving vehicle. Car, bus, plane, train—I can and usually nod off once I'm on. I also have the eerie ability to wake up one stop before my stop or a few minutes before arriving at my destination."
