Very Trivial Superpowers

[Deleted User]

I'm a girl of almost no talents but there are a few things I'm good at that trivially impresses people. People who tend to be easily impressed to begin with, to be fair.

I never cry when I'm chopping an onion.
I've slept standing up.
I can type at 85 words a minute - accurately.
I can put my feet behind my ears (thanks, yoga). Not as pretty as it sounds.
I read a minimum of three books a week.
I get upgraded about 70% of the time when I travel, regardless of airline and without ever asking.
I never forget a birthday or anniversary.
I can wiggle my ears.

What trivial things do you excel at?

Do you use your feet to wiggle your ears?

It would be another superpower, but no. Thats a talent I don't have.

That's something I'm terrible at. That's a great trivial superpower to have.

I can stick my fist in my mouth, I'm sure that could be considered a superpower in weird porno

Can you also manage to not poke the whole way through the back? If you can do that every time as well I'll be impressed!

VCR repair people would ring up people and ask "Do you have a toddler and is your VCR under the TV ?"

Because the problem was they'd stopped working because they'd be filled with slices of bread or biscuits or stuff.

I believe it's an old, old wooden ship, from the civil war.

A few months ago my cousin texted me:

"30 years since Chernobyl, still no superheroes"

Laughed til I cried.

I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.

I was once out running in the rain and noticed a woman give me a really weird look. Took a moment to realise I had just licked a rain drop off the end of my nose.

Bill Gates has been a bit of a let down when you consider that the only superpower that Batman and Iron Man have is money.

I can change a duvet cover in under a minute.
I can tell you what day of the week any particular date fell on (people always seem weirdly unimpressed by this).
I'm great at remembering birthdays, phone numbers and car number plates.
