I can hold onto something for years and throw it away just days before i need it.

I have an uncanny ability to retain information that I absolutely have no use for, but stuff I actually need I always have to look up.


My wife has the best sense of direction / place I've ever seen. On our first trip to Asheville (pre GPS/smartphone days) we needed to find an ATM. She led us right to one about a block from where we were. I asked her how she knew there was one there and her honest response was " I didn't, it just felt like one should be in this area"

Packing/loading a truck, trailer or wagon. I can't understand how people can fit such small amounts of stuff into such large spaces. It's like a 3D jigsaw puzzle. I love figuring out how to fit a lot of stuff into a given space.

Ah, yes, I, too, possess the Packing Gene. It's a gift.

Young, old, big, small, married, single, doesn't matter. I attract or am attracted to the craziest women in the room. It's like gravity.

In a batch of machined parts, I'll grab the nonconforming one first. It makes the guys in the shop crazy.

Things that don't fit the pattern stick out to me.

Words misspelled or used incorrectly jump off the page at me.

My wife is still astounded by this & continually asks, "How did you see that?"

The only answer I have is when something doesn't look right, it isn't right, and it's quickly evident to me.

I forget one one person called it.
I have the ability to feel what people around me are experiancing .

I know when coworkers are pissed off or disappointed.

I know when total strangers are stressed or under duress.

I can feel when people require help or an ear.

It gets in the way on a regular basis.

Empathy.

I can social distance without anyone noticing.

Man, why do you have to bring that crap in to this thread?

People talk to me. They tell me things. Sometimes dark things.

I can turn a simple plumbing project into a four trip to Lowe’s experience.

Research. Need to buy something? I gotta go research it. Problem come up? I gotta go research it. Daydreaming about something I have no chance of having or doing? I gotta go research it.

I have the world’s largest supply of reading glasses, and am unable to find a pair when I need them...

I also am pretty good at knowing when people are lying to me. Doesn’t work remotely, like on that game show “to tell the truth” but in person I can always tell.

I can usually tell when someone has done real time. There is certain convict body language most people don’t have.

Ozshadow,
Since getting this Android phone, I am
On it , six times a night reasearching news stories, movie facts, tv show
Trivia, names ,dates, history.

Kinda obsessed.

I can seemingly gain weight faster than a third trimester woman. Not sure if you call that Armageddon metabolism or Old Testament Glutton, but I'm your huckleberry if you wanna bet on who can gain weight fastest.

Weight loss, on the other hand? Not so much...

I drive a School Bus....

In rural Kentucky, down ribbons thin roads, full of yelling kids.

Nothing Scares Me!

No matter the situation and/or environment, I can roll out an inane comment in a verbal flash.

You'll then understand why my contractor friend won't do a plumbing job on Fridays.

Don't know if I have a superpower. I'm pretty good at a lot of things but doesn't quite get to superpower status. I guess I would say my superpower is knowing who to surround myself with. I strive to be the dumbest person in the room.

Well, the sign below was given to me for Christmas from my oldest Daughter.
So... My Superpower is apparently fooling people as to my abilities!
