What's your useless super-power?

[Jennasis]

Inspired by the "what's your curse" thread...what useless super-power do you have? For example, my DH can tell time usually to the minute, any time of day, without a watch.

My useless power is I can tell when I'm about to receive a text or phone call, just before I actually get it.

So share yours, and if you're so inclined, tell us if you'd be a good guy or a bad guy and go ahead and give yourself a super-hero (or villain) name.

liking something way before it is trendy. I am always looking for an item/style of something and can't find it anywhere. a year later it's EVERYWHERE and on everyone....and the price is inflated. Take the color lime green for instance. started decorating with it 15 years ago.

I have the ability to extinguish streetlights by walking or driving by them. I have no control over this superpower, but it is uncanny how many times the lights go out when I go by!
My DD's theory is that I emit some kind of darkness-creating force field that is strong enough to overpower some but not all streetlights.

This is my DH!

And this is me!

Oh - I used to be spot on with time. I've gotten very rusty in these last few years.

My power is I know what song is going to come on the radio next. Not 100%. But frighteningly close.

 

[momof2n2]

Oh. And I regularly identify names just before they get popular.

I run through periods where I am extremely lucky. Not like, winning the Lotto lucky (though I suppose I don't know that for sure, since I don't play Lotto), but more like, "Everything I've wanted to have happen for months and months is occurring right now." When these periods occur, they can last for weeks at a time, and during that time, people around me can become very lucky as well. I am a luck beacon. Unfortunately, I have no control over when this occurs, I only recognize the symptoms after they are happening.

I can wake up from a dead sleep and tell you what time it is. So, I can do it without a frame of reference like the people who do it while they're awake do.

I'm the only one who can feed the pets

interesting...im the only one who can fill up their water bowls. our powers combined could change the world!

 

[tluvstink]

I remember birthdays of practically everyone I know. This applies to family, friends, casual acquaintance's, my DD's friends and people I don't really care for.

But I'm horrible at remembering names!

I usually know what's going to happen in a TV show or movie before it happens. Freaks my kids out. I'll say "watch....this is going to happen" and then it does.

I understand this ability since I am the only one who change the toilet paper......

 

[mercydisney]

I can also drink a whole water bottle without stopping.

The dog thinks I'm the only one in the house that can let him outside.

My personal power is the ability to hurt myself in the most fantastical and unbelievable ways. Like I sprained my knee walking across the kitchen. This is not a useful power and I wish I could lose it. I am constantly covered in bruises.

 

[AustinTink]

I read lips, even at a distance. I've caught people saying some not-so-nice things...

not streetlights, but remember when touch lamps were popular? if I walked into a room with one it would start dimming then brightening-if I got too close it would start pulsating. no control over it, and we had to get rid of the set we had because it would cause the bulbs to burn out really quickly (family and friends learned to have them in the off position if I was visiting).

 

[A_Princess'_Daddy]

I can see sounds.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

I am great at card games even when I have no clue what I'm doing.(luck maybe?) I've never lost a poker game and I won first prize at a casino themed party DH's company put on by playing Blackjack.

I keep telling him to bring me to Vegas!

Strangest thing I'm the only one who cleans the microwave. My husband cleans anything else in the house but, seems to have an aversion to our microwave.. go figure?
