Mundane powers you would like

In My Humble Opinion
21

Wow…so many good things…lemme steal some, then add my own.

I’m gonna one-up the “sleep on an airplane”, I would like the ability to dictate exactly when and for how long I sleep. I want to be able to say “Man, I have only an hour and a half before work…I want to fall asleep exactly one hour starting 35 seconds from now.” That would help SO much in life.

The snapping fingers for things would be great when it comes to food for me. Sometimes I am just hungry for a PBJ but have neither P B or J.

I would love to stop time for small periods of time. Not to like, rape time-stilled women or anything, but sometimes I have to go to the bathroom REALLY badly at work and I don’t wanna blow it up and have people walk in on me etc. etc. I would love to stop time while I am in there, finish, then go far away, resume time, and no one knows it is me. It is the same deal with sleeping. If I could stop time so I could sleep an extra hour or two I would do it in a heartbeat.

If I could use the force to move things towards me that would be cool as well.

22

I would like the ability to make my cats understand me. So when they’re spazzing out at 6:30 and I snap at them that they’re “going to be fed in 15 minutes!” They’d be all “Ooooh. We’ll just chill out and wait then.”

I’d also like the ability to get rid of the songs that get stuck in my head.

23

The ability to rid a room of dust and dog hair.

24

The ability to feel like it’s room temperature regardless of actual temperature (and, of course, any effects that said temperatures would have on the body would not appear).

The ability to enjoy every food so that no matter what I ordered or whom I was eating with, I’d love it.

25

I’d like “force-powers” Not the fancy ones, just the lifting things with my mind. Why don’t I have these yet?

The ability to tell when I’m hungry all the time, instead of just occasionally.

The ability to actually get myself to do the things I need to do.

The ability to record the things I’m thinking. I come up with cool ideas and I can’t recreate them.

26

I’d like to be able to stop my facial hair growing, I bloody detest shaving.

Another that would come in handy is to make busty young wenches fall madly in love with me with just a glance in their direction.

After I’ve had my wicked way with them, they’d just forget all about me and toddle off into the sunset…until the next time :smiley:

27

To be able to open DVDs and plastic clamshell packaging.
To use the express line with more than 8 items

28

I would like the ability to go grocery shopping and not have to wait in line when I am done, I am not an impatient person per se, but I have just spent close to two hours wandering the store and the longer I wait in line the more I think about things I might need but don’t actually but because I’m waiting anyway, I might as well pick it up.

I would also like the ability to remember to get the important things I do need while I am out of the house. So many times I am out running errands and I get back and I always think “dammit, I forgot the _____” :smack: its just not fair.

I would like the ability to make cooking and cleaning go much faster and much more efficient. It seems I always make a huge mess when I don’t need to, and if I could cook just once, or clean just once without having to clean a ton after I’m done, that would be a godsend.

Oh yes, and some sort of telekinesis would be pretty fun too :smiley:

29

Ohhhh sirrr, you are a gentleman :stuck_out_tongue:

30

I’m with you on these, they seem like very good powers to have…
… and why don’t I already have them?:dubious:

31

I would like to be able to instantly know exactly where anything I own is. I hate looking for stuff.

I would like to be able to query my body & brain to find out exactly what is really wrong and what it would take to fix it. I hate having nebulous little things wrong with me and not knowing why.

I would like to be able to get a full night’s refreshing sleep in half an hour. I hate having to waste 1/3 of my life sleeping.

32

Good stuff.

I’d like to never need sleep.

I’d like the ability to clean/groom anything with an act of will.

I’d also go for a personal time stop; so I can do self contained things like read a book without the world passing me by.

The ability to turn off my personal gravity when I hurt my back or otherwise can’t find any comfortable position.

33

I’d like to have a photographic memory and to be able to remember people’s names and details about them.

I’d also like to be about 40 lbs lighter and 10% stronger. :wink:

34

A volume control for ambient sound. Some one’s baby screaming, some guy playing thumping music ? Dial it down.

The ability to play any computer game on any system, including games for which the system is unavailable.

35

… all awesome things…
and spoken like a true nerd… love it.:cool:

36

Can I have the super power of being able to eat as much cheese and drink as much beer as possible without gaining weight?

Thanx in advance

TD

37

The power to make people not care about what other people eat. If it has to be personal, then the power to make people not care that I don’t eat vegetables. (No, I don’t eat vegetables. No human language possesses words sufficient to express the extent to which I don’t want to hear it.)

38

This struck me once as the thing I’d ask a genie for. I’ve tried hard, and I can’t find the ironic twist that leads to an eternal life of suffering with this one.

Smokes and condoms? Exact change.

Steaks and wine? Exact change.

3,000 s.f. mountain cabin with indoor/outdoor pool, satellite tv, and Monets on the walls? Exact change.

39

I’d like the ability to reach in my pocket and actually get the thing I was reaching for, instead of the two, three or four other things first.

Why is what I want, the last thing I can dig out?

40

I wish I could sing. I can’t. Even if I COULD sing, I would be too damn self-conscious to sing in in public.
