I can always find a parking space in front. Always.

I rarely drop anything or slip down.

Same for me. Asked the AI a few weeks ago to do an analysis and it came back with basically the same results. It's a blessing and a curse.

I can make it rain. It hasn't rained in our area in almost 2 months. I washed 3 cars Sunday and it has rained every day since....

If I put a handful of popcorn in my mouth, and a piece drops, I can catch it with my off hand without looking. Everytime.

I can spell anything. I also have an uncanny ability to remember things that bring me no monetary value.

I don't even have any good skills. You know, like nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills.

Investigating things, it must be hereditary because my grandpa was Chief of Detectives.

I somewhat use it currently, but not in the manner in which I would prefer.

Writing and being an a-hole...

To that end, I guess my biggest gift is simply existing, because I was classified as "gifted and talented" in 2nd grade and remained in the G/T program all the way thru the completion of my secondary education.

Cool story bro, Recognizable Poster.

My sense of smell is much better than most. I can smell things either nobody else can until I bring it up or notice it well before everyone. It’s probably the reason I violently hate certain foods like brussel sprouts or roasted broccoli…both smell like an a-hole got turned inside out on a hot summer day. The only big upside is if I fart and can’t smell it I’m probably safe to continue pooting.

For something that matters, I’m above average in remembering numbers/stats and pattern recognition. That helps my career as a data analyst.

I have an insane sense of position, length and balance and color balance. On a golf green I can tell which ball if two, both appearing to be equally distant from the hole, which one is closer, even if just a quarter inch difference. I can spot anything that isn't perfectly level. I can always tell you direction (North, East, West, South). I can drive someplace once in a city I've never been to, and 20 years later can drive right to the same spot without any direction. I can look at any TV and know what colors are out of whack and can typically dial in a calibration to be perfectly color balanced and with the correct grey scale for shadow depth.

I catch red lights like nobody's business. Its so bad that everyone who rides in the car with me more than 2 or 3 times makes a comment about it.

I am also the king of thinking I can do anything, with zero experience.

Playing the harmonica.

Everyone cheers silently with much thankfulness when I quit.

Random trivia. I remember almost anything I think is interesting so no matter the topic I usually have some tidbits of random knowledge.
