What’s a weird, totally hidden or undefinable talent you have?

Tell us something you could never tell people in real life without sounding crazy!

My weird talent: If I set a kitchen timer, I will start walking to the kitchen within seconds of it going off. Whether it is for 6 minutes, 16 minutes, or 60 minutes, I will be walking into the kitchen to turn it off and take care of the task within 20 seconds of the timer going off. It’s uncanny.

I can watch the opening sequence of Law & Order (the original) and tell you something about what the episode is going to be about, the plot twist, the actual story it’s based on, etc.

If I toss something in the air to eat, I catch it every time. No matter how high.

Similarly to OP, I'm very good with time. My body clock is impressive (only to me). I always use backup just in case (timers, alarms, etc.), but when I need to talk to someone busy and important at work and ask "Do you have four minutes?" I am finished with that talk before the four minute mark.

I do an amazing Shaggy impersonation.

I've found myself glancing at the clock when the time is exactly 9:11 ....has happened 100s of times 9ver the years.

So, OP, this is weird, because when I saw this thread's title I clicked on it to describe my talent - which is exactly the same as yours.

I also have an internal timer. Maybe it's not as rare as we thought?

I’m a water witch. I can feel water underground. Not that useful nowadays but 150 years ago my relatives were in high demand for well digging.

I’m lightning fast at sudoku

Another good internal clock here. I wish I could trade it for a good sense of direction.

I can detect when something’s off about someone when everyone else thinks person in question is totally fine. Examples: XH had a business associate that was beloved by all. I never liked him and got a creepy vibe. Turns out he was married to a woman with a kid in another city, while supposedly married with kids to a woman in DC. Had a coworker well liked by colleagues, but never liked them. They were stealing from our company. I can go on.

I am an excellent map reader. Mostly obsolete skill now that everyone has navigation.

Mine is 3:33 am, unfortunately.

I can wiggle my ears.

Also, I have this totally useless spacial memory and can remember exactly where I was sitting in restaurants decades ago and even longer ago in elementary school classrooms. This talent in no way extends to remembering where I put my phone or keys 10 minutes ago, however.

I can quickly determine what a person's vulnerability is. I used to use that information to hurt people's feelings when I felt wronged by them or when I just wanted to hurt someone. I've grown and no longer do that, but I can still tell what will hurt you the most by looking at you.
