What's your really pointless superpower?

[Qbish]

I can tell who has a lisp just from a photograph.

I have never found the perfect moment to deploy this superpower. I need to be in a seventies Jessica Fletcher-type show, obvs.

I can remember the layout of houses I have been to and or loved in since about age 3 so 51 years ago

That is not a pointless superpower. Look at Risk Management roles - that’s basically what they do. Being able to envisage every worst outcome and then figure out what to do to avoid that ever happening. It’s a really useful skill.

I can still remember the names and surnames of the girls in my primary class and also the names of those in my sisters class girls that is and I am 54!!!

Argh I was trying to reply above to @FixItUpChappie about the ‘worrying’ superpower

I can open beer bottles with my teeth.

I'm classy like that.

Me too!

Ooh me too. The left one.

Being able to read/use my laptop whilst being a passenger in a car. I finish whole books in the car.

DH can’t even glance at his phone without feeling sick.

I have a lightning catch reflex with my left hand only. Tennis ball mis-hit serve return by Ivanisovic caught by my left hand is my dinner party tale. I am right handed and v v clumsy under usual circumstances.

I can cross my first & little fingers over each other, above & below the other two fingers.

Weirdly I used to be able to do both hands, but now left is easier & right harder - I'm right handed.

I'm also the fastest reader I've ever met - I've been challenged on this one a few times. My recall is getting shorter as I get older, but I can still get through a few thousand pages of fiction a day.

@Qbish I can also tell if someone has a lisp just by looking at them.

@OuiLaLa I can also twitch my nose , my Ddad nick named me sam/Samantha after the bewitched show.
I can also wiggle my ears .

I can recognise people by their cough

Me too! My kids always said I should have gone on Don’t forget the lyrics, but then remembered I’d have to sing.

😆That's extremely useful.

Mine is a good sense of direction and map reading, a skill that has been completely redundant for about 15 years.

I can break an apple in half with my bare hands.
and I can French plait my own hair.

I do an amazing wood pigeon impression by whistling through a rolled tongue. They regularly reply (or more frequently poo and fly off.)

I have webbed feet...
Can open any jar!

I can sleep anywhere. Trains, planes, buses. When sleeping in the staffroom at work I can have a 10 mins power nap and be back at my desk, refreshed, without ever being late.
On second thought, maybe this isn't so pointless!

Not me, but my sister can tell if anyone she's close to has had even a mouthful of alcohol just by them speaking. Works especially well with our mum.

As kids we could both tell exactly who was where in our house based on sounds alone.

I can calm 9/10 crying babies pretty much immediately.

I can name a song from one or two notes
Absolutely useless

I can breathe underwater 😉

I'm very good at finding tiny lost objects.

I am never late for anything. I have an uncanny knack of being able to plan ahead even when going somewhere I've never been before and allowing for delays.

I remember phone numbers from childhood (ours, relatives and friends). I’m 57.

I'm incredibly good at flipping beer mats. I can do big stacks of them at once.

I can also do the freakishly good catches with my left hand without really paying attention. Only after having laser surgery on my eyes though, at school I thought I was hopeless at ball sports but in reality it was because I couldn't see well enough.

I can smell sugar in tea, even a tiny amount.

I'm still really flexible, can get my leg around my head, do the splits etc.
I haven't seen anyone my age who can still do that.
Totally useless skill. Unless I join a circus for pensioners.
