Mine can go to the shop to buy milk, bread and apples and come home with milk, bread and apples.

It's a disappointing talent, but he's quite proud of it Hmm

He can whistle any song, and make it sound the same.
Amazing.

Santaiscovidfree · 15/01/2021 17:39

My 20st 6'4 dh can do a headstand.. Dc are amazed!!
He can also cook, use domestic appliances and give a girl a good time...
Wink

Ironing!
Oh and he plays electric guitar really well.

RandomMess · 15/01/2021 17:41

My DH does domestic chores as and when they need doing with no prompting!

My clean knickers miraculously arrive on my beside table every few days Tis marvellous.

He can spend literal hours in the bath and enjoy it 🤷🏽‍♀️ totally beyond my comprehension or abilities.

Mine irons beautifully (army vet). He makes a banging cuppa as well. He can also shop alone and is amazing in the sack!

Isadora2007 · 15/01/2021 17:43

@Santaiscovidfree he sounds fab!

Confrontayshunme · 15/01/2021 17:43

My 6'7" DH can open the loft hatch without a chair or stick thing. But the downside is that he is 2" taller than every doorframe ever.

Mollymopple · 15/01/2021 17:44

He is very intuitive...and often weirdly predicts things just before they happen!....

Whilst he is indeed talented I wish he were able to return with the correct shopping when sent. He ALWAYS forgets the key thing...usuallyGrin milk! That's the bit I can predict happening Grin

00100001 · 15/01/2021 17:44

He can rummage through his pile of clean laundry he refuses to put away like a ninja at 6am, bit at 6:02 when he can't find why he's looking for, it apparently it the time to ask me "where's my work t-shirt?"

8Track · 15/01/2021 17:45

Cunnlingus. And welding. Not simultaneously.

Santaiscovidfree · 15/01/2021 17:49

...
Hmm
Him not me... Far too old
..

DustyMaiden · 15/01/2021 17:51

He can touch the end of his nose with his tongue.

NecklessMumster · 15/01/2021 17:52

Every night when he takes his pants off he kicks them in the air and catches them on his head

AutoIncorrect · 15/01/2021 17:52

He’s an exquisite shag.

PandemicPalava · 15/01/2021 17:54

Mine can just drive and drive and drive and drive and drive. He is an actual machine. He can also dig and dig and dig and dig. I think it is because he has suspected ADHD and when he zones into something he can't stop. It means he doesn't eat or drink during this time either which is really odd

dementedma · 15/01/2021 17:56

He has a magic nose which apparently cant be wiped or blown, so his super power is sniffing!

usedtobeboss3 · 15/01/2021 17:58

He can fling his leg over short people (he is 6'4 and a bit) and often does...
He also has an array of strange and interesting noises. He can make the sound of a dripping tap for example, by tapping his head.
Unable to remember where his keys, slippers etc are though...

NeedCoffeeToSurvive · 15/01/2021 18:03

Mine is very flexible, if that's the right word... I often find him doing forward roles, headstands, attempting the splits...etc in random places around the house or clinging to furniture. It's like living with a Koala bear.

speakout · 15/01/2021 18:07

A guru with computer equipment.
He is a network engineer, and called the "wizard" at work.
He will often just walk into a room and systems resolve themselves.
I may have laptop or pc problems at home, try for ages to fix things, give him a call- the moment he picks up his phone my technical issue resolves within seconds, without doing anything.

Mabelface · 15/01/2021 18:08

Mine does his parents' food shopping. He can also use any domestic appliance competently, washes up and tidies even though he doesn't live with me. He can talk about a subject for quite some time, but that's adhd for you!

CMOTDibbler · 15/01/2021 18:10

Mine can watch Grand Designs (or any other house building/renovation programme) and accurately predict the time, end cost, and issues they will face.

Echobelly · 15/01/2021 18:15

The power of deafeningly loud and high pitched sneezes, which always come in batches of 3-5.

Oreservoir · 15/01/2021 18:29

He can talk incomprehensibly in bad French whilst gesticulating wildly and be perfectly understood.

I can deliver a perfect, grammatically correct sentence and am met with a puzzled 'Comment?'

He's like Joey from Friends.

MrsGrindah · 15/01/2021 18:35

Mine is the fastest tidier upper ever..everything is ship shape in minutes
He always has the right bit of stationery
Can always think of a plan b when things go wrong
Has the best chest for snuggling into
Wizard with the 17 TV remotes

Mehmehmeh19 · 15/01/2021 18:35

My husband doesn't really cook, he can perfect meringues every time!
