    Either i have a VERY MILD super power or one of the best body clocks known to man. Does this happen to any of you. I could go hours not looking at a clock or phone screen - then guess the time and it would be correct to the minute. Now we ain't talking about any 5 o'clock guesses or 1:30... I do be guessing 5:12 or 8:23 and BANG look at the time for it to be spot on. Another thing is the amount of times id be getting it right out of 10. Id say average 6/10..

    Next one is ive noticed charging the mobile phone for a while. Plug it in and come back to it in 45 minutes or an hour and guessing the battey life percentage. I literally get it spot on very often.

    Anyone else have this "gift"

    Em... wouldn't it typically be 100% charged after that length of time?

    I’m pretty good at estimating what speed I’m going when driving a car.

    Also, if you throw a load of matches on the floor, I can tell you EXACTLY how many floors there are.

    A character in Arrested Development had the same ability if I recall correctly.

    I've mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still... that I become invisible to the eye... Watch.

    My super power used to be anticipating the morning alarm by 2 minutes. Did it for years, then a change in circumstances - unemployment and I lost it and never got it back.

    I get the USB in the right way every time.

    I'm pretty good with the time thing too....but my margin of error is usually about 5 minutes.


    GF thinks I'm a freak because she rarely knows what day it is :pac:

    I know the time by the sun, if it's up it's daytime.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    I'm the exact same. Posted about it a long while ago. I can wake up in the middle of the night and think its 4.32 or whatever and always be right. Its a bit freaky. Some kind of internal body clock or something. Same during the day. Just always know what time it is to the minute.
