Hey Pandas, What's A Skill You Have That Is Somewhat Impressive But Not Particularly Remarkable? (Closed)

I can disappoint any people that found me reliable at first impression.

I can look at a page of text and without even reading it, if there are typographical errors or grammatical mistakes like "they says" or "have being", my eye eye immediately spots them. I don't know I do this but I've managed to build a career out of it.

I can read in a moving vehicle without getting sick. I am really observant - like WEIRDLY observant, it’s hard to explain but I notice things that are different/out of the norm very quickly that most people don’t seem to catch. (That’s probably the anxiety 🫠). I know a whole bunch of random facts that I can’t remember until someone mentions something relevant to a fact I know. There’s probably more…

Being multilingual. Unusual in the English-speaking world, boring AF for the rest of the world because everyone is.

I can look at just about any automobile and tell its year, make, and model. Many of the "trivia" listing in Internet Movie Database (IMDB) that identify the automobile in an old movie were posted by me.

Here's another: Just by looking at a dog's body language and listening to its bark etc I can tell exactly what it's going to do and how it's going to behave. It took me a long time to realize as a kid that most other people *couldn't* do this.

After seeing an interview with Jim Carrey, where he mentioned he liked making strange faces in the mirror and would use them in various roles, I decided to try it for kicks and giggles.

As I was making a face, I noticed my nose move! I HAD to try and isolate the movement to only move my nose and not make a goofy face.

Mission accomplished! Now I do it for the sake of weirding people out.

I can type really fast (like 90wpm) but I can never go that fast because my brain's kinda slow...😅

This skill of mine is only really useful when I have to copy something...

Mine is being able to drive with high heels and platforms.

I can (somewhat) play piano by ear. Actually I can play better by ear than by reading music

I can lose objects without moving.

Despite my height, I move almost without making a sound. I scare people on a daily basis, unwillingly.

Like most people in my country I can speak/read/write a number of languages, AND that includes programming languages. Human languages about 5 (English, Afrikaans/Dutch/Flemish, Swedish/Norwegian, German, Zulu, French), programming languages.. let's see...php, sql, html, css, bash, perl, javascript, java, pascal, basic... quite a few.

I can recite all three prophecies from wings of fire fluently and use it as a torture method.

I wouldn't say impressive, but for some reason I will forget what I was going to do 2 seconds ago but I can remember exactly what and when you ate years and years ago. Also I can read a 400 page book in 1 hour.

I can perfectly remember strings of up to ten letters or numbers for almost a month without having to look at them again.

I can tie a cherry stalk in my mouth using my tongue

I can cross one eye. And no, Mom, it did not get stuck that way.

I can recite the alphabet backwards from z to a. Not much but kinda cool I guess XD

I can recite at least a dozen poems - including the 6 page TS Eliot opus The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock - and several of the opening pages of the play Arcadia by Tom Stoppard. I didn't set out to learn any of them, I just read them a lot as a teenager (so 25 plus years ago) and they stuck. I can also recite the opening of Virgil's Aeneid in Latin and English, although that I did have to learn one time for school. Plus my sister and I both have (apparently) amazing recall of song lyrics. We both thought it was normal for everyone to know all the words to all the songs, but we've been told by a number of people this is not the case
