What is your super power? (Give a true example)

Looks like I should have proof read before posting that up after clicking the wrong picture. That's my bad man.

 

If I just miss a light, it's because the jackass in front of me is driving far enough below the speed limit that he makes it through the yellow light and I have to stop.

I haven't seen the rolling blockade you describe but the folks in front of me seem to stop driving slowly as soon as I get to my turn.

I have the same talent for picking the wrong line at the store as you do.

 

Great thread @AzureNightmare

Like a lot of you here, I can meet someone and not 2 seconds later completely forget the name that just came out of their mouth.

Not sure if this is a super power or a disease but I always look at the make/ model of vehicles around me, especially trucks and can usually guess the year. I remember what someone drives even if I only meet them once, whether it's a new Honda Odyssey or a 1992 7.3l pre-powerstroke diesel.

 

I teach high school. After I retired from technology in 2003, I returned to university and earned a MAT. In the beginning, I taught full time. Now, I teach only on a substitute basis.

 

I also tend to notice what people drive but I try not to mention it so I don't seem creepy.

 

Ha, same here.
Especially when it's a friend of my wife's, I get the look.

 

Could be noticing worse things about your wife's friends that could elicit on of these

 

Storytelling. Meet me in person, and let me tell you a story about something. Anything. I can make it engaging, funny and just long enough.

Also, ever wish later you could have said something or made a joke in the moment? I always do. And 75% of the time something I should have kept to myself.

 

UH-OOHHHHH . . . . BUSTED . . . that's friggin HILARIOUS!!!!

 

I’m in the same club.

I consider my superpower to be the ability to explain complex things to people in layman’s terms in a way they can understand them.

I also have the ability to remember almost anything that I take the time to read and process (I’m a very slow reader). Especially numbers and formulas or anything mechanical. It is why my nickname is Rain Man.

 

Whatever the case. Just don't be fake. Fake people - lame.

Look forward to lookin' for you at LilTally.

 

I’m immortal. If I’m wrong I won’t be around for anyone to tell me different.

 

Picking the slow lane at the store and the fast lane in traffic.

 

Tally sucks. Come to Barber.
