Fun thread: What is your super power?

Postby piedmontfields » Fri Mar 08, 2019 2:26 pm

I thought this might be amusing on a Friday. What is your (secret) super power in life? Could be at home, at work with horses or anything.

I'll go:

I can write emails that *everyone*, no matter how busy and important, replies to---usually within minutes. (I realize this may not sound like much, but believe me in a large international environment this is quite useful at work ;-)

You?

Animal magnetism. :)
Seriously - animals love me.
My mother used to call me Saint Francis.
The shyest animal will come to me. I don't know why they do, but I adore animals so they must sense it.

Organizing. That doesn't mean I stay organized, but I'm quite good at organization.
Keep calm and canter on.

I’m not too shabby at organizing and pitching extra stuff ... which leads directly to real-life Tetris! Need to pack a whole house for a move? One small carry-on for international travel for 2 weeks plus electronics? Car trip, plus camping gear, humans, and animal space in a small hatchback? Back country backpacking? I am your girl.

We were in CA, so I was still in elementary school, when my parents discovered this ability. I’ve been the go-to for family and friends since then.

I am very diplomatic and can see how to bring people together and work with them.

Putting on weight. I can put on 4 kg in a weekend!

Flight, you crack me up! I guess I have that super power, too (it's not so secret, though :-0)

Mine is getting people to listen to me at work. Doesn't matter who it is, from the VPs down to the people who answer phones. When I have something to say, they listen.

Very valuable in a corporate environment.

Piedmont - I am jealous of your super power. I don't have that, so I rely on face to face communication for critical stuff, and use my own superpower. :)

I have super inference and observational powers. I've had people ask me if I'm psychic just because I can often put the pieces of a situation together pretty easily.

I can always get the self- check scanners at the supermarket to work on the first try.

For a serious answer I am always very calm and focused in any emergency.

For fun, I am the best eye roller behind a dodoheads back ever.

I attract people to my energy. I am a self proclaimed "popular loner". I always have someone wanting to chat - either because they need to get something off their chest, or they have some excitement to share.

I attract overshares. So many people I don't know well enough to warrant that kind of closeness have told me about their medical issues, love lives, etc. Even complete strangers! Wonder what it is about me that triggers them to drop TMI on me.

Wow, Ponichiwa, that would have been my other "power": "Making" people tell me everything about themselves. Weird, eh? (but interesting...and weird)

p.s. I once thought that I wanted to be a spy because this was an obvious talent I had + I love data and languages!

p.p.s. Those of us on DDBB know that a very real secret talent you have is teaching changes to horses :-D

Too bad I'm so klutzy. I'd be the best of spies, and the worst of spies...

Truth time: I've had recurring nightmares that I won't be able to put a solid change on Queso. Totally normal fears over here.

I think you could make a career out of this. I'll pay you to pack for me for a trip to Greece this spring!

My girlfriends were a bit offended when I pulled out half of their stuff before our backpacking trip (and then had them add back 2 items each). By the afternoon of the first day they were immensely grateful, and were ready to toss more :lol:

This is an awesome power, indeed!
