First time I've heard of it. But after reading it I see that it's not on
the lines which I was thinking of. 

For example, chasing a white ball round a special designated area, could
very easily, in some people's eyes be considered useless.

Driving round and round and round and round a special road for the
purpose of driving round and round and round and round in wasting a lot
of petrol, could very easily, in some people's eyes be considered
useless.

So I was just trying to get Mr Crewman's explanation of useless.
