I can touch my nose with my tongue. Grin

kittensarecute · 14/09/2018 23:19

I can act and sing well (so I have been told).

pumpkintree · 15/09/2018 00:08

I have excellent people skill and i am a natural leader.

TigerBreadAddict · 15/09/2018 00:09

Writing presentations and public speaking (although it stresses me, I'm apparently good at hiding that)

HollowTalk · 15/09/2018 00:09

@pumpkintree No, Theresa May, you are NOT!

PickAChew · 15/09/2018 00:10

Oh yeah

Kleptronic · 15/09/2018 00:24

I can wiggle my ears.

TellMeItsNotTrue · 15/09/2018 00:26

Does - hiding behind a 'mask' and fooling people in to thinking I'm ok - count? Sad because I'm an expert at that

JustlikeDevon · 15/09/2018 00:42

I am an excellent public speaker.

HolgerLowCarbingLoser · 15/09/2018 01:34

I am good at being angry.

I’m
Good at liquid eyeliner and doing the liquid eyeliner flick 😊

BitOfFun · 15/09/2018 02:07

I'm good at sewing, making quilts etc. Along with other stuff, but that's the one I enjoy most.

Itslookinglikeabeautifulday · 15/09/2018 02:20

Good at art but largely ignore it (no time). Excellent at drinking wine 😊

CatRen27 · 15/09/2018 02:23

I'm really good at deboning whole fish. And i can wiggle my ears one at a time. Also good at untying knots and removing splinters. Haven't yet found the nexus of those skills that might make me my first million..

justilou1 · 15/09/2018 03:13

I can sing like an angel (but I have terrible stagefright 😪). In my real life I can be guaranteed to be the friend that people lean on when they’re under stress, or need someone to talk to. For some reason they find my own brand of silliness (and the fact that it goes no further as I don’t gossip)
helpful and calming. (And they get wine if necessary.)

Mum2OneTeen · 15/09/2018 03:19

Tellme Thanks

I'm good at making stuff and fixing stuff, also great spatial awareness to pack the boot of a car.

Flaminghotcocoa · 15/09/2018 03:31

I’m good at explaining things succinctly. It’s an under appreciated skill I think Grin

SallyVating · 15/09/2018 04:51

I'm good at getting drunk.

I'm expert at attracting undesirable men

Rebecca36 · 15/09/2018 04:59

I'm very good at sleeping, sometimes it takes me a while to get to sleep but when I do, I sleep for hours. I'm really content when I sleep too, don't bother anyone, cost less because I'm not eating so am nice to know.

Want2bSupermum · 15/09/2018 05:00

I'm very good at personal finances and setting up the structure to run a business. DH is very good at sales and we really do work well together.

I am amazingly great at not recognizing celebrities or 'well known' people. I sat there talking to warren buffet while having my lunch in Bryant park and didn't have a clue. He was lovely and very complementary about my DD2. I had no idea who he was. People pay millions to have lunch with him. I just plonked myself down next to him with my homemade peatnut butter sandwich, banana and bottle of water and DD2 started playing peekaboo with him!

YBR · 15/09/2018 06:25

I am good at problem solving, I'm sometimes the one saying "why don't you do this ..." and wondering why it's obvious to me and a revelation to others.
I write good documents and processes (work and volunteer roles).
I am a confident public speaker - still working on style and delivery but it's not bad.
I'm good at sewing and making - not excellent - but just lately I've been figuring out my own patterns and I'm chuffed it works!

lovesugarfreejelly63 · 15/09/2018 06:34

I am very good at crossword puzzles.

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 15/09/2018 06:44

I’m very good with people and am excellent in the role of customer service.

GinIsIn · 15/09/2018 06:49

Christmas. I’m really good at all things Christmas. I can sing, so carols are absolutely in my wheelhouse, wrap presents beautifully, make an amazing Christmas dinner, decorate a beautiful tree. I get to be really good at something for one day a year. Grin

GreenRut · 15/09/2018 06:54

I'm good at somehow making people feel like they want to tell me secrets, or just alot alot about themselves in a very short period of knowing them. It's not because I'm nosy (though I am), it's because I'm quite open myself so I guess it rubs off on people!
