What average, everyday tasks are you really skilled at?

I just crumbed a chicken breast and cooked it to perfection. Juicy and tender. I have managed to do this every-time for about two years. Every-time someone cooks me chicken it's slightly overcooked because everyone is worried about serving it underdone.

I'm very average in the kitchen department, but I manage to nail that every-time.


So, what are you good at?

Whenever I reverse parallel I never need to fix it. Back into the park , swing the front of the car back , drive forward so I'm an equal distance between the car in front and the car behind and I'm done , always perfect , never hit the kerb.

That's about it in life.

Oh I can fart with my hands without fail whenever asked to.

When I went for my P's, I managed to perfectly reverse park. Not even a need to drive forward. My car was perfectly placed.

Havent managed to replicate said form since.
 
loading the dishwasher, best in my family at it.

paper shuffling, a skill that's not used enough these days.

As in, if for eg. your looking for a specific remix of a song they put in basic words eg "eminem im not afraid remix" in and just give up after the first page if they can't see it pop up, I find out who makes the remix and everything, very technical and too much time on my hands.
 
Cramming for exams.

Related to the above, writing "cheat sheets" in incredibly small writing. I once got an entire undergraduate neuroscience course, easily the most dense course I've ever done, word-for-word off the lecture slides (which were pretty much word-for-word the lectures), onto a double sided A4 piece of paper. I still have it pinned up on my wall. And yep, I passed that exam.

Related again: doing multiple choice quizzes. I don't know what it is, but even if I know none of the answers, I have a knack for figuring out which is the correct answer, just based on wording, that sort of thing. It's hardly 100% accurate, but if I had to guess I'd say it probably doubles my chance of getting an answer right if I have no idea. I managed to average just over 70% for six 5%, 20 question, 5 answer multiple choice quizzes in the aforementioned neuroscience subject. I studied for one of them. I went to no lectures. If they had been short answer I would have been absolutely ****ed, but I have a skill with multiple choice quizzes.
 
Throwing things in bins from a decent distance. I'm up to 11 apple cores in a row from my desk to a basketball sized bin about 3 meters away here at work, and even long range shots at various bins always stand a good chance of going in.

I suck at basketball though.

I have self-proclaimed honours in:

- late night cramming
- chugging a beer
- setting up/fixing TV's and entertainment systems
- remebering song lyrics
- parking
 
To add to Parking - I seem to always find a very good park. If I drive down to the beach it will be packed, cars parked 1km away, and I'll drive up and snag a park 20m away, or someone will just be leaving.

Same here regarding using search engines.

Related to your post, I'm also very good at finding songs that are seemingly impossible to find on the internet.

Was this a full-time course lasting an entire semester? If so, I'd be interested to see a pic of that pinned up paper. From my experience, even attempting to do that to one double-sided A4 would be a ludicrous joke beyond comprehension. The courses I've done simply contain far too much material that the time wasted in trying to cheat would be useless and better served learning everything. Disgrace, not even real.
