What are some of your minor super powers?

blah, blah, blah...
For example one of mine would be making oxymoronic titles.

Another example is that I can see and exist most of the day through dirty eye glasses, dirty and foggy winshields, scuba masks and the like. I spent most of my career needing eye protection of some sort. I sweat like a newt at a witches convention. my safety glasses,goggles,face shields were always dirty and sweaty. I just learned to "look through it".

The brain is an amazing thing. Of course look who made me write that.

Also, I endeavor to join the Procrastination Action Network. Soon!
 
My biggest super power is common sense. I started figuring that out in college when going on spring break trips with friends. Even now, people that I know with higher IQ's than myself cannot match me when it comes to common sense.

Another super power is spatial intelligence, aka spacial reasoning. I don't have to read step by step instructions to put something together from thousands of parts. I can skip to the 2D illustration of the 3D object and assemble the item.

One of my favorite super powers is smart-assery skills. I am a certified smart-ass.

Another in my quiver of skills are my powers of observation, and my ability to verbalize what is happening, Anyone can see something happening right before their eyes, but I posses the super power of stating the obvious.

I posses the super power of humor. I can find the humor in everything, and every situation, even when it's inappropriate. I cannot always make others laugh, but I can always laugh at another's expense. Most importantly, I can laugh at myself.

I have the super power of bullshit. I am full of it and have an endless supply.

I could go on, but I'm trying to be humble, and brief, which are not some of my super powers.....

I can make your favorite team lose by publicly picking them to win.

I can fail each and every time at something by bragging about it beforehand

I've made it rain more than 10 times.

According to my wife I have similar super powers. Apparently I can influence the weather, elections and other public events by commenting on them but only in a negative way so I am constantly being told not to jinx it (whatever the it is). But sadly I cannot seem to make it rain even though most would think it's negative, probably because around here it rarely rains :shrug:
 
I was/sort of still am a natural speed reader when it comes to fiction or non-technical/mathy/complicated philosophical stuff. Someone figured out I was doing it in 6th grade or so, and had me tested at school. I peaked on the test at 1100 words per minute with 85% comprehension. I've slowed down a lot, but I can still knock out a lengthy Stephen King or sci-fi novel in a long evening.

At that time, I was pretty antisocial and not yet obsessed with guitar, so I read out about 3/4 of the Science Fiction section of the Cleveland Heights Ohio library over a summer.
 
My entire job hinges upon the fact that my superpower is that I figure things out quickly without any prior knowledge. I assimilate working knowledge of a lot of things quickly while other people fumble around.

There has to be some chance of rain in the forecast. If so, I have a long list of rituals:

Feasting, chanting, mating, The Dance, and most importantly, the washing of the car. For extra mojo, I'll wax it and use some Armour All.

*sometimes the gods will send a sand storm, or a swarm of locusts. Or seagull poop. Or maybe the jerk driving by me will have a heavy duty windshield washer squirter that gets on my vehicle.
 
Brushing my teeth very quietly.

Picking up dog poo in a graceful manner.

Improvised grocery shopping (black belt w. infinite-th dan).

Infiltration - on many occasions I have walked straight into staff only areas and used the bathroom, just smiling and saying hi to everyone.
 
I can pick the slowest line anywhere. Even if it is the shortest line it will become the longest line once I get in it. Something always happens.

I find programming bugs no one has ever seen before. I've been told on no less than a dozen times from IT. "i've never seen this before. It's never failed like this?"

I am a pedestrian and driving Ninja. I am rarely in someone else's way. I apologise if I am impeding someone at the mall or on the road. If everyone were more like me the world would be a better place. Not to brag. lol
