If humans had the feet and tails of monkeys, what could we use them for, other than climbing trees?

Scratching and multitasking. 

I would annoy my husband with my tail and pretend like it wasn't me!

Multitasking! .. Things like Grocery shopping and carrying things, push the cart with one and load with the others; preparing dinner (chopping and stirring at the same time);  housework .. Read a book and vacum cleaning; Won't have to struggle carrying heavy parcels and searching for my keys in my purse; Great for a desk job: Can at a desk with pen and paper or type on my keyboard at the same time as piling those papers and stapling them together; I can only imagine what it would be like to do my hair and put on make up in the morning in a rush ... geesh .. The list goes on and on. 

Hi Didge,

I think it would be easier for us to physical exercise for good health... Leaping around the living room and such, swinging from the chandeliers ... We would be healthier!

btw, I used to be able to put my heels behind my ears, tie myself in a kind of knot...tried that just now, nope, no more...(sigh) use it or lose it...

What could be better than climbing trees? I would spend all day doing it until my feet and tail were tired.

Sadly, the first thing that came to mind is using my tail to steer the shopping trolley if my hands were full with bags. I'm a klutz too Didge, so they would certainly help in that department.  I fell down today, (although I was trying to kick my partners backside as a joke), I missed and caught my foot in my handbag and went down with a thud. The humiliation hurt the most, I think I broke my pride.

I wouldnt have this damn arthritis and i would climb all over my bicycle while riding

Well, I'd still have two feet, but they would be as useful as my human hands are.

And a tail like that with the same proportional strength----oh the mind boggles.  I would be doing a lot of experimenting once I adapted to such an appendage and integrated it with my new "monkey" feet.

Humans don't even use all they have.
