What are your underwhelming skills that you’re privately quite proud of

[Breakfastburrito]

Mine are:

Being exceptionally good at slicing bread (straight, even slices every time, even on squishy, unevenly shaped loaves)

Uncannily accurate at guessing the time when I haven’t looked at a clock for hours - I’m never more than a few minutes out.

Tell me the things you can do that are not that impressive!

Very good sense of direction
Map reading
Parallel parking

Having a biscuit or some chocolate for someone at work who is struggling

Tea making

Setting fire to things

Oh and remembering random facts. And knowing everyone's timetable at work. Within a month of the new school year

I can name a lot of 80's songs within seconds, and have the nickname of smug because of it!
I wear a face mask for work, 10 hours a day. Except for breaks. I'm an expert at the eye roll for certain people who are annoying me. I also, apparently have a "customer service" voice for said people. My colleagues say they know when I'm annoyed as my voice changes slightly.

I can tell if a cup of tea/coffee has sugar in it by smelling it.

Also really good at remembering conversations verbatim.

I have some control over my nipples. I can make them stick out/stick out more.

I am really good at ordering takeaway for a group of people. Right amount /variety. It's my superpower.

This thread has just reminded me, I have a friend who is brilliantly subtle at writing patronising and high handed letters/texts/emails. She’s not a good writer in any other respect but if anyone in our group of friends wants to gain back power in a situation where we’ve been undermined in love or at work, we call her and she sort of magics this haughty, patronising air and dictates the most amazing spontaneous texts and emails which are incredibly effective and powerful.

I can put a kingsize duvet in its cover ON MY OWN.
And I'm another who can tell sugared tea by scent.

I can find a distant place I have only visited once before. But i usually get lost on my way home.
I can get lost in most carparks, trying to find the exit.
I can do the finger tip only bending
I can drive all day and night, but get sick within minutes being a passenger.
And one that has actually been useful...
I can knit a free hand, fully cabled jacket with different cables on the front for an adult; with no pattern.
I also used to get the full tetris orchestra most times I played.
Can solve rubik's cube in a couple of minutes. Can solve a 4x4 cube.
Fall over the flat floor and constantly fight with door frames.
Also good at untangling jewellery and slinky springs. And 4 line kite strings

I was great at guitar hero and band hero.

@AlwaysLatte I can turn a napkin into a penis

I can put a kingsize duvet in its cover ON MY OWN.

@Spanielsarepainless - me too, with the aid of 4 hair elastics.

We are Goddesses of the duvet!

I'm exceptional at recognising faces... Even decades later when not seen for decades. My partner is amazed.
I can hear electricity.... So I feel like a loon.
I can smell acid from a distance.
I can tell if someone has fertility problems before speaking with them (female)

I'm exceptional at recognising faces... Even decades later when not seen for decades. My partner is amazed

I'm the same! I was once in a bar and recognised someone who went to my primary school (that I left when I was 6). I think they thought I was a complete weirdo for knowing who they were!

I whistle quite well. I usually whistle while I'm walking down the road and once a man whistle a tune back
I think about him all the time and I hope to have a whistle duet again!

I can read exceptionally quickly. Often (quietly) frustrated with other people who seem to be taking a lifetime to read something in e.g. group work or training sessions

I am amazing at loading a dishwasher.

And I have great sense of direction

We can wander in circles in a wood, and I will always know which way to head to get home
DH calls it my salmon brain..!

I can turn over a king sized mattress alone

Same for the duvet cover

I can look at a map once and route is memorised

I can eat an extraordinary amount of whole nut in one go

Oh and recognising people's cars driving about after seeing them once. That one always feels creepy so I keep quiet about it

I can make really good shortcrust pastry.

I learned this from my mum.

I have cold hands most of the time, which helps.

My home made pies are the stuff of legend.

Pulling loose teeth out.

My Yorkshire puddings are banging and my Curry is something else.

I have an ' inbuilt ' sixth sense about people... I am
incredibly intuitive of a persons character pretty much by meeting them straight away.

I make perfect poached eggs.

I can remember every car reg number that I had and my df had back to 1967.

I'm not quite sure why.
