21 Things People Thought They Were Good at Until Someone Else Did It Better

We’ve all got hidden talents. Maybe you’ve got a stupid human trick, or you rock the mic at karaoke, or people always tell you that you make the best damn popsicles they’ve ever tasted. It might not be much, or even enough to cash in on, but it’s your unique thing that you’re good at.

Well, if that’s true for you, never meet someone who’s actually good at it. Sure, we’re all aware of the existence of pop stars, but there are even top-level karaoke contests that, no matter how big a fish you are in your little tiki-themed pond, would eat you alive.
