Nobody uses those in every day conversation.

They will be used in specific contexts, like measuring fluids with syringes where space is limited and accuracy needs to be high.

I had a running gag once with my cheese guy where i would order in hectograms. I probably found it more amusing than he did.

Your cheese guy? You may be doing life better than me.

Certain ones get used a lot, like centimeters and dekapascals.
