    Names are the worst for me. I have learned that actually listening to my wife is beneficial.

    The one superpower I say I may have is the ability to fix or build things

    I have the same abilities as most of you, aside from @Samoan Thor boner thing, and @Steve89gt baldness and beard.
    I’m kind of ambidextrous like @jewsNbrews . I’m predominantly right handed, but wipe my ass left handed. I only realized this when I broke my left arm when I was 21.

    I’m really good at fixing problems, which is 99% of my job. I can’t fix anything mechanical though. I completely suck at repairing things.

    I read people very well. I can tell almost immediately what kind of person someone is upon meeting them. Comes in handy when hiring people. My wife used to argue when I’d meet someone and tell her “This guy is an asshole”. She doesn’t anymore.

    One superpower that I have zero control over is remembering random, insignificant shit. A friend will tell somebody something like “I sank a thirty foot putt for a birdie several years ago.” I’ll add “Yeah, it was May of 2012. You were wearing a blue hat, and a guy was in his backyard eating a hamburger.”

    Mine is not as exciting as everyone else's here but here goes. I have the ability to beat the crowd. This isn't tied to me being early or on time anywhere, this happens EVERYWHERE. Going to a busy fast food joint during lunch, empty line. As soon as I get in line, BAM 30 people walk in and line is to the door. This happens every day, at every business I go to. I guess my timing is impeccable? My wife's is super extraordinary as she can find the best parking spot at any given time. We do make a nice combo finding the best parking spot in the front row and somehow beating every crowd. This is at the movies, restaurants, businesses, grocery store, etc.

    I can remember sets of numbers. Credit cards, phone numbers, random IDs, just about any set of numbers that has a purpose in my future and I can put them to memory in a few seconds. Just don’t ask me to remember what your name is if I just met you.

    You could be a savant. Can you identify any day of the year from the past and can associate it with it's the day of the week? Do you experience synesthesia? It's an incredible gift. Sorry for all the questions. I have always been fascinated by this topic.

    After reading @War Machine post maybe I should pose this question to him. :thumbsup:

    Except the stuff he sells would be for your truck, so..... maybe he SHOULD talk to your wife. She can't get mad at you if she buys you stuff for your truck.

    I can watch a movie and I dont know any of the actors, I dont remember their names.

    I dont remember the name if the movie till I watch it again and then say " oh yeah, I remember this now"

    I have the ability to know someone's personality when I meet them. By the way they smile, talk to you etc. I will know if they are a bullshit artist the first few minutes. I would always ask them if they were a senator jokingly so my coworkers would know.

    I have never been wrong

    Im a champ at stumbling over my words. My brain runs a bit faster than my mouth so it's often onto the next sentence before my mouth catches up. Pretty good at saying the wrong thing too. Once said gangbang instead of gang fight. That was awkward. I'm aslo a pro at not picking up signals from women. The number of dates I missed out on when I was single is staggering...

    A handy skill I have is the ability to pick up virtually any form of projectile weapon (slingshot, bow, gun etc) and in under 10min be moderately proficient with it. Never had to be taughyt how to shoulder a rifle or how iron sights worked. I was picking off cans with a .22 at 50yds, open sights, at age 7 in under 10min with no instruction.

    I also fully field stripped the first WW2 Lee Enfield I'd ever seen within the first few min of ever holding it. Surprised the hell out of my aunt. She believe in reincarnation and figures I was a soldier in my previous life. LOL.

    I do the same thing. Horrible with names as well. I can tell you my first bank account number I had as a kid, also the routing number of the bank. I can spout off batting averages of almost any mlb player from 1980-now. Once I see a number, it never leaves me. Names? Fuhgetaboutit. I’m lucky if I remember my own.

    It's been quite a while since this one had anything added, so I thought I'd bump it to see if any of our newer members had anything fun to share.

    Lots.
    My super power is the ability to look at any catalog, browse the Internet, walk into a store, car lot whatever and pick out an item that I like best and without trying... it will be the most expensive item of its type. That's how I wound up with the Tundra TRD Pro.

    I'm not super proud of this, but I may as well talk about it (makes things better people say). I pride myself on honesty, integrity and being a God Fearing man.

    But...if I need to (mostly happens when least expected or highly pressured), I can bullshit my may into, out of, whatever of just about anything.

    Somewhat of a SuperPower ability to be really witty, really fast.

    Ex- free drinks, out of a ticket, why I was "late", free food, free admission, why I was "late"... You get the theme.

    Again, at the moment, I will sometimes be "the man" or feel proud about it. Sometimes, I don't feel bad at all about it (getting out of a ticket or something BS'd that genuinely helped others)... But sometimes I look back and know I was really in the wrong.
