Mine is that I can make a meal out of any old shit I find in the back of the cupboard/fridge! I should be on that old Ainsley cooking show where they give you a potato and a banana and ask you to make a meal 🤣

I can cut just the right weight of butter from the block for a recipe by eye.

Bit of a solo sport Grin

I can fold a child’s pop up play tent so it fits back in the bag

Gubanc · 23/11/2021 18:27

I can change the bog rolls. Noone else in the family is able to.

I can also lick my elbow (tested this weekend).

I can identify almost anyone by either the sound of their footsteps or if they're too far away to see their face or hear their footsteps I can identify them by their gait. Obviously only people I already know.

Parallel parking

WakeUpLockie · 23/11/2021 18:46

I can tell what sex a woman’s baby is (before it’s born) just by looking at her. Never failed!

Lol a the bog rolls 😄

I have an unnerving instinct for telling which oranges on super market shelf will be lovely and which will be dry and disappointing.

This does not carry over to any other fruit.

MrsLeclerc · 23/11/2021 18:47

I can measure exactly 30cms holding my hands apart. Very random. DH likes to get me to do it, then pulls out the tape measure to judge my accuracy. I have a very good track record!
I’m convinced it’s from years of playing about with my school ruler during lesson Grin

I can also pack items back into bags/boxes so it looks like they were never opened. That’s a handy one!

Laughingstock91 · 23/11/2021 18:48

Ha ha, love all of these 🤣

Can sleep literally anywhere in any circumstances.

So handy when travelling, long haul flights, sharing rooms, camping, festivals etc.

Most impressive place i had a sleep was on a speed boat.

Simonjt · 23/11/2021 18:50

I can fold a fitted sheet

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 23/11/2021 18:52

I can come up with ideas for dinner, and for presents, when the other party answers my question with "I don't know".

I, too, can replace an empty toilet roll with a full one. I can also squeeze toothpaste up from the bottom of the tube to its opening, and put soap back onto the dimple on the side of the basin.

ChristmasFluff · 23/11/2021 18:54

I can construct flatpack furniture

mamaduckbone · 23/11/2021 18:55

I know where specific and random items in the house are (such as a misplaced gum shield) even if I'm not actually in the house at the time.

Also, I can judge pretty accurately the number of sheets of paper / pencils needed for a class of primary school children by eye. I'm seldom more than 1 or 2 out.

Fantghjn · 23/11/2021 18:59

I can make 3 children of 3 different ages sleep at the same time.

Wishiwasrunning2 · 23/11/2021 19:02

I can catch falling things... babies falling backwards, things falling out of the cupboard, occasionally if I knock over a glass on the table I can catch it before it spills.

I've been telling my kids that's my super power for years 😀

This is mine too 🤗. I have slept leaning against a large speaker that was on a stage in a club.
FluffytheGoldfish · 23/11/2021 19:17

I’m really good at pitching tents…And excellent at packing them away.
In fact I’m very good at any type of packing.

catgirl1976 · 23/11/2021 19:18

I look good in hats. Any hat.

I would have prefer ed invisibility but there you go.

ChirpyChirp · 23/11/2021 19:20

I look amazing in hats. All hats. Woolly. Straw. Beret. Pompom.

Sadly this does not extend to other items of clothing!

CocoHeart · 23/11/2021 19:22

I know the time without looking at clock/phone...always accurate 😬

Joolsin · 23/11/2021 19:22

I know who is telephoning when the phone rings without looking at the caller id. For example, the phone starts ringing, I don't move a muscle and say to DH, that's your mother, he'll say no it's not, then answer and I'll be right, always!

Joolsin · 23/11/2021 19:23

Also spelling, names and dates!

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 23/11/2021 19:24

This is mine too.

Also if someone has misplaced something I know where it is, even if it's not in my house. This doesn't extend to strangers houses.

Squirrelblanket · 23/11/2021 19:30

I can make perfect poached eggs with no weird processes or ingredients. (Vinegar 🤮)
