You know that trick where you take the top from a beer bottle and put it between your thumb and middle finger so that you can “snap” it and it goes flying? I have deadly sniper like accuracy in this skill. I put 4 of 5 into the mouth of an orange juice carafe at 15 feet or so once and if that 5th hadn’t skipped out of the mouth I would have won $500 from onlookers at a bar.
You know those slide-y number puzzles, where you slide the square pieces to get them in numerical order? I’m insanely fast. If someone else mixes it up, and it’s a good puzzle, not a cheap one, I can do it in about 7 seconds. Surprisingly, this has not made me famous or wealthy.

I can do the crowd thing, and the eyebrow thing, left side only.
I can also get dressed really fast. The BF will just need to put on his shoes and I’m upstairs with the covers pulled over my head, he puts on one shoe, looks up, and I’m standing next to the door fully garbed and tapping my foot impatiently. He finds this aggravating and baffling.
Also, if a long line is going to form (for example at a restaurant) I usually manage to walk in about five minutes before. We’ll be seated and have just ordered, and voila, the line is already out the door. But we were there first (insert evil overlord laughter).
A quarter per sister or a quarter per tick?
My mother used to give me a nickel for every snail I got out of the garden, so I have Mad Snail-Findin’ Skillz which serve me to this day.
I can remove my trousers and socks in the same motion, one leg at a time.
This is done while standing. I step on the toe of the opposite sock while lifting the sock-ed leg up through and stepping out of the trouser leg. This removes the sock. Repeat with the other leg.
I have done this for so long it has become an unconcious habit.
I have the uncanny ability to find things, and know where things and people are. Part of this is because I hear everything that is going on in the house, I know every time a door is opened. The rest I guess is just luck. My bff calls me all the time to come over and find something.
The only thing I ever lost was my SO’s keys. They fell from my pocket while wrestling with his kids and they were missing for days until I got up one day and walked straight to where they were and picked them up. It was the weirdest thing.
I can always find home. Set me down, blindfolded, anywhere on the continent, and I will head toward my house.
This is not as useful as it seems, given that I find home on those occasions when I would much rather find my car, my hotel, my tent or my ass without a map and a flashlight.
I can make a traffic light change from red to green by just staring at it.
Some lights take a little longer than others, though…
Oh, I forget to mention…there is that whole thing with bees.
I have fantastic park-fu. 9 times out of 10 when I need a parking spot, I get one very close to the entrance to where I’m headed. There are a few times when park-fu is not applicable, such as sporting events and Christmas shopping, but it’s uncannily good.
I also know where stuff is. Other’s people’s stuff, not mine. I just notice things, but I freaked out my friend’s family one time by knowing exactly where his keys were when he went looking for them. He was putting stuff in his SUV and put them down in the rear cargo area. I do it all the time though. I guess it’s not completely useless.
More than a few of these are in my repertoire so I won’t bother with a recap. I’ll just add a few more.
I seldom need more than a glance to solve a jumbled word like the ones in the newspaper game sections. Three seconds is a long time to work one out.
I also seem to have coffee mojo. There are people in my department that know instantly whether or not I made the coffee. Same coffee, same water, just my “black thumb” makes the difference.
I bake cookies. Not completely useless, but it’s not really good for my health either.
My kids appreciate it though.
I also organize things in chromatic order. Red, orange, yellow . . . . Drives my husband crazy, but things look prettier that way. 
Hmmm…all I can do is wiggle my ears both together or individually. Does that count?
sighs
damnit. it’s all true… I wont drink coffee unless Starbucks or Projammer makes it! Well, ok, if I am that desperate I will manage to drink a small cup from the machine.
My strange talent?
hmmm, well the only one I will admit to on this board is the ability to read a person’s relationship line (palm reading) with a 2yr before/after grace period. When I practiced it often, I was able to read within 1 yr grace. I could also tell if someone was rather lucky (good fortune) and if they had travelled outside the country/overseas.
I stopped doing the readings when I managed to not only scare the other person with extremely accurate timeline, but scare myself as well (I would often turn cold enough to get a few goosebumps when reading but that time I had gone darn right ice cold with no bumps or shivers).
btw, I NEVER predicted the future or completely saw the past.
Today I was reminded of another talent: I can get away with wearing colors that look like “somebody puked Skittles.”
That’s why I’ve got a new shawl!
