What’s your superpower?

[ParrotPirouette]

Two questions, the first is in the title- what’s your superpower?

The second is, if you were asked this as an ice breaker at the start of a team-building whatsit, would you think it was wanky?

Mine is that onions have no power over me, I could chop a hundred of them with no tears.

Those with internal GPSs should have a go at orienteering. There are a lot of us who know which way to go there, it’s good fun!

I am invisible... I achieved this superpower in my 40s. Men (especiallyOH), bar and waiting staff and people in meetings are especially vulnerable to my power and can simultaneously see right through me and not hear a word I say!!

Thankfully cats are immune!

I can name all the countries of the world and point to them on a map (although I might get some of the smaller islands in the wrong place!)

Ha. I babysat a 4 year old this week who was saying "How DO you fall asleep" then lying in bed and waving her legs in the air!

Do you offer lessons?

I'm pretty good at baby/toddler whispering and can spot when a primary aged child is neuro diverse with about 80% accuracy!

I am a human lie detector when in the same room

I can tell you what time it is on a sunny day

I can remember every single dish people ordered at group meals in restaurants going back years. People actually ask me "what they ate last time" on repeat visits

I think for it not to be a wanky icebreaker you need to be clear it has to be a mundane superpower.

Mine is untangling stuff, wires, cables, necklaces, etc.

My work colleague claims hers is finding the correct number of free seats in busy lecture halls, cinemas, etc.

DH's is knowing the year people were born.

That is the funniest post I've seen in ages 🤣 🤣

It's a good icebreaker question.
Mine is that I really can get 16 meals that taste chickeny out of one chicken. I taught myself while a student in the early 80s when the butcher in the Haymarket Centre in Leicester sold broiler chickens for 50p.

Calming babies and children is my superpower.
Whipping up gourmet dishes from seemingly nothing.
Kindness-no big secret but being kind especially when being challenged works wonders.
I am really crap at lots of other things!

@Apolloneuro @Circumferences never fails to make adults and children alike laugh out loud 🤣
