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 walk into the kitchen just seconds before the oven alarm rings, even if I'd set it a couple of hours earlier.

@dinkybella77

I have a good sense of direction. I'm like a homing pigeon...on holiday I can usually find my way back to wherever we ve cone from without a map. Same with finding where we parked the car in the car park. I never need note which zone we were in.....useful as DH is the complete opposite, has a terrible sense if direction and gets lost all the timeGrin
If I've driven a route once I can almost always remember it even a couple of years later.
mumoftinyterrors · 23/11/2021 21:45

I can pick out the most expensive item in a line up every time. It's a real talent of mine 🤣

ImprobablePuffin · 23/11/2021 21:58

I'm so jealous of those with a sense of direction - I could get lost in a prison cell!

However I am the best colouring-in-er that I know!

I can convert any amount of alcohol into urine with a 50% uplift in volume.
Years of guitar playing has given me the ability to bend the fingers on my left hand to a perfect right angle from the first joint without the second joint moving.

Hoardasurass · 23/11/2021 22:07

I can use a sexton properly and an abacus I hope to never need these powers

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 23/11/2021 22:08

I'm pretty good at predicting when my phone will ring.

HumbugWhale · 23/11/2021 22:09

I can not only see items left on the stairs but carry them up and put them away. They are invisible to the rest of my family so this really is a super power Grin

Cathpot · 23/11/2021 22:11

This isn’t mine but was aimed at me.
In supermarket queue, in my mask, man in the queue in front of me goes ‘you don’t remember me do you?’
He was right I did not.
Turns out he sold me his house 17 years earlier. I genuinely don’t remember meeting him ever, but clearly I did at least once but must only have been only once and 17 years later he recognised me with a mask on.
I said - that’s like witch craft - and his wife was there and just shrugged and said ‘he does this all the time’

IWasHotInTheNineties · 23/11/2021 22:12

I can get any baby or toddler to sleep. I am a baby/toddler whisperer Smile

bringbacksummernow · 23/11/2021 22:15

@Fantghjn

I can make 3 children of 3 different ages sleep at the same time.
If this applies to any children at all you could make a fortune on here
IWasHotInTheNineties · 23/11/2021 22:16

I can also smell clothes and other items and know who they belong to.

NauseousNancy · 23/11/2021 22:16

I can find a table/seat in the most packed area. Never failed - I can spot the signs of someone leaving from miles. Move to pick up a scarf and I’m right there waiting for your table!

needtogetfit21 · 23/11/2021 22:17

@Sprogonthetyne

I can fold a child’s pop up play tent so it fits back in the bag
🤣 this is a true talent indeed!
Brissiegirl · 23/11/2021 22:17

Great sense of direction, handy when on holidays.

I can write with both hands at the same time, dominate hand writes mirror writing, non dominate hand writes correctly

This makes me wince. DS2 can do this with his index and little fingers. He thinks he once dislocated them without realising what he was doing. It looks horrible.

@RB68

I can swoosh wrapping paper I am a mind reader Super flexible despite my decrepit age and lack of exercise
What does 'I can swoosh wrapping paper ' mean?
Neurodiversitydoctor · 23/11/2021 22:25

I am very good at timing and am hardly ever uni tentionally late.

DancinOnTheCeiling · 23/11/2021 22:33

@MrsLeclerc

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!

Hahaha the 30cm thing is so random 🤣🤣 and I love that your DH likes getting you do to it and measures for accuracy!
greenalltheway · 23/11/2021 22:33

@Practicebeingpatient

If someone is talking and is lost for a word I can always supply it no matter how obscure.

I also have heatproof fingers.

I also have heat proof fingers!

I call them asbestos hands.

I also have an incredibly high tolerance for super spicy food! No burny painful mouth/tongue/throat for me, curries the hotter the better.

Sadly that power does not translate to my lips and if I catch them with the spice - free lip filler effect!

DancinOnTheCeiling · 23/11/2021 22:36

When I was younger (and enjoying my single life), EVERY TIME I peeled a satsuma, the peel would have the shape of balls and a willy 🤣🤣 - without trying... now that I’m married with DC it doesn’t happen anymore - power of the subconscious?

Boobicoosg · 23/11/2021 22:36

Birthing babies on their due date, 2 out of 2 so far. Needless to say my avenger costume would need to be a feckin tent. Black widow I wouldn’t be.

It's a painless process for me! (If you ignore the odd bit of arthritis in the right hand when I'm playing!)

WorkHardPlayHard1 · 23/11/2021 22:41

@Gubanc

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

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

You & I should start a toilet roll adding business!! 😂🤣
CruellaDeVilla · 23/11/2021 22:42

I can sleep anywhere, I slept in a nightclub once

I can always hail or find a black cab

I am exceptionally good at spending money

I am the grammar and spelling police

I am brilliant at throwing money at a problem
