Making other people break wind from any hole god drilled into their bodies is -far- to cool to be included in a list of "worst" super powers.
In fact that's one of the few powers that would be of great use irl. Want to keep those horny teenage boys away from your daughter? Make them (or her) spew foul smelling gas from their mouthes.
Boss at work getting you down? Give him the 24/7 treatment and see him retire early for health reasons!
That is one of those powers, though, where if you're in a world where people regenerate back from a single cell or fly or teleport you'd be all "Man, this is nice and all, buuuuuut...." Kind of like Cypher.
I got one. You know all those old wives tales, and quasi urban myth type beliefs that people have? For example, eating carrots makes you see in the dark, masturbation makes you go blind etc etc.... your power is that for you, all of those are true.
In the 50s smoking reduced your blood pressure and makde you feel great, now pretty much anything can give you cancer. Have fun with that.
Also, a couple of variations on the theme:
Superstition Boy (if he finds a penny and picks it up, all day long he'll have good luck... but if he breaks a mirror he's fucked)
the Karma Kid (when he's doing good deeds nothing can touch him, but god forbid he should think a bad thought about someone)

Old wives tales, lol.
Spend all day curled into the fetal position rocking back and forth, never moving from that spot again, after that one fateful day and a crack in the pavement.
This thread wouldn't be complete without a nod to the classic.

My worst power... hearing every misinformed/dumb statement in the world and feeling a compulsion to correct them all... with no other powers to block out those statements or to make people not be idiots.

What about the ability to see into the future, but it only applies when you are about to get kicked in the junk, and then only far enough into the future to know your about to get kicked in the junk but not far enough to do anything to prevent it.
Also, the ability to know the exact second to leave your house to get to the takeout place just as your food is finished.

Anyone read Xanth? Sounds like spot on the wall powers. Called so because that's pretty much all the magic these people had. To make spots on a wall. Fabu!

No, we're trying for bad powers, not extremely convenient ones.
Granted, but much like the ability to make someone else fart, in a world of people multiplying themselves by the dozen or teleporting as far as they can imagine in an instant, the abilty to enjoy slightly fresher takeout food wouldn't be that great. Especially considering that a teleporter could actually get to the place and back faster and thus be enjoying takeout food while you where still driving back.
It'd be like winning 5 bucks in the lottery I guess. Not something to complain about, but still not that great.

Does said orifice have to be a part of your body? Or just an orifice, anywhere in the world?

I don't remember eating that...

This stuff writes itself!
That's awesome!
That would suck for a woman.

For the express purpose of using mentos and diet coke as a projectile spray.
So only for those.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
I was all, "that'd be awesome. I'd spawn leafs in my foes' lungs."

Also, this:
Would be really handy for a flamenco guitar player.
You could be king of SE++.

And not in the cool 'I see the future' way, either. I mean like, your vision shows where you were 5 minutes ago.

In Wanted, one of the Fraternity members is Johnny Two-Dicks.
He has two dicks.
One of which is sentient, evil, and speaks out at the most inopportune times.
That was awesome. She was practically a superhero with her justice vag.
After all, much like Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, it only harmed the wicked.

Not to mention, in complete control of his body.
