What's the closest thing you have to a superpower?

Diddums · 25 Jan 2022 at 20:13

Bored. This means GD must endure my inane bolocks, so here we go.

As title - what is it?

For me, I am a walking spirit level. I can hang anything on any wall without using a level, and it'll be perfect. I also notice wonky things everywhere and it drives me nuts, the worst being the last post office I had to go to. I spent many hours standing in that queue looking at the absolute skew horrors everywhere, it was enough to drive any man nuts.

Anyway, enough about me. What's your superpower?

You would hate me.

I love to move pictures and other objects hanging on walls slightly out of true- just a millimetre or two. I don't know why, but I find it very amusing.

I can spot ***** a mile away.

I can wiggle my big toe and 'third' toe in unison whilst all others stay still.

I have an amazing ability to annoy even the most calm people within a second. I used to think it was a bad thing but as I've matured I've taken it as a blessing

I'm a carpenter. I'd back down while you still can. I too can see anything that is out of level but try as I might the bubble always wins, even if it's the thickness of a pencil line

I spent four years as an apprentice HVAC installer which meant I hung up more radiators than pretty much anyone else in the trade. I then became a ceiling and partition fitter for three years.

Your turn

When I was drinking I could easily turn alcohol into shame and regret. Does that count?

arknor · 25 Jan 2022 at 20:40

The ability to sleep 12 hours a day every day

most people can only do around 6-7

Maybe I'm a super villain?

EdwardTeach · 25 Jan 2022 at 20:54

Have you heard of super recognises?

Turns out I seem to be one. I read a newspaper article about it and decided to give the test a go :

https://www.superrecognisers.com/

I was top <10% in every test.

It sas something I was conscious of for years, which is why the article piqued my interest.

Same. If anything is off/out of shape/not square i will notice it straight away.

I'm also extremely good at colour recognition (ie i will notice if anything even slightly doesn't match colour/shade wise - have returned lots of shoes due to this...)
