What useless talent/quirk do you possess? (1 Viewer)

I can tell what part of Texas someone is from based on their accent alone.

Also I can impersonate Hank Hill's voice almost perfectly.
 
Reading.
For instance, I can stand in front of someone's desk and scan every document on it in seconds while having a conversation and retain all of the information I read as well as what was discussed. I had a boss that figured out that I could do that and would turn everything over when I came near.

Ever get kicked out of a casino for counting cards ? :mwink:

Work for the CIA??
 
I can track a woman's monthly cycle just from reading her posts on a message board.

Humm.... I have a knack for knowing when a man is exaggerating about his......um...... talents. :ezbill:

I have that too, its called hitchhikers thumb. Its a genetically recessive trait like a widows peak on your forehead or red hair. Since its recessive one of your grandparents on each side of your family likely would have had it if not all of them. Possibly one or both of your parents also.

So, somewhere up the line, you, DD, Paul, antipop and I could be related?

I can still do the right and left split (not the straddle) and a backbend. I was able to walk on my hands, but I haven't tried in a long time. Think I will. If I'm not back soon, scratch that one ..... and call 911.

LMAO!


I have a unique squeal/squeak I make, it just comes out when I have the hiccups or for some other odd reason.

I"ve scared people before. :(

I heard my son's friend about a month ago several rooms away yell out, "WHAT was that?" after I had one.

It's similar to the noise I make when laughing uncontrollably(nona knows that sound) :covri:
 
My powers of multiplication are without equal.

3 x 3 = 9
4 x 5 = 20

The above was done without the use of a calculator. I kid you not!





Seriously :D, though, I have a pretty good sense of direction. I just need to go someplace once and then I'll always know how to get there (I'm sure others do this as well so maybe not really a unique talent). I tend to always know which way are the Cardinal Directions (N, S, E, W) without visual cues (sun, stars, etc.) and indoors. Therefore, I'm never afraid of getting lost as I can always find my way back.

Being Asian, I can usually tell what nationalities other Asians are (no, they're not all Chinese). Again, I'm sure others, even non-Asians, can do this as well, so nothing really unique.
 
I can catch a stack of quarters from my elbow into my hand. Taught myself how to do that after watching a Happy Days episode with that 'skill' in it.

Prove it :)
Is this the same sound you make when you see a lizard? No, I did not forget about that !!! LOL

I can usually tell which Asian country one's family is from by the shape of the eyes..They vary from each nation.

That's a different one, more like a crazy woman yelling. :covri:

Oh, I remember that, and I can do it too. :)
 
I can sense when someone is near me. When I was younger I could tell when my mom was walking down the hall. That came in handy. :covri:

I also have an internal alarm clock that never fails, unlike Cozmo Kramer.
