    I regularly catch stuff that accidentally drops nearby me with my hands or I manganese to soften the hit in the ground by changing it’s trajectory with my feet.

    That comes in handy as i am clumsy as hell.

      Until it’s an iron pan…

      I once hurt myself bc i tried to catch two bowls falling of the shelf. In the end I had a blue toe and a nasty wound on my wrist.

    Multitasking really simple tasks. I can do three errands around the house at the same time, and I’m really good at bartending multiple drinks simultaneously. I love cooking because I’m really efficient and time multiple dishes perfectly.

    ability to troubleshoot logically. if something isn’t working, I have a knack of figuring out why, but maybe have to lookup how to fix it.

    I’ve got a weird version of "net lazy"motivation. Anything I can do now to make a future task easier, I am strongly motivated to do. Anything that would be easier if I wait for [blank] I will ignore until the ideal moment that would make it the easiest.

    It oftentimes leads to peculiar optimizations, but it has worked surprisingly well for me so far.

    Kind of like the other poster, I can figure out how most simple mechanical things work by looking at them and can usually cobble together a solution to mechanical problems out of random stuff from the hardware store. I’m also really good at fixing simple mechanical and electrical things like bicycles, flashlights, hair dryers, fans, office chairs, etc. I’m also quite handy with a sewing machine and can fix most clothes.

    More complicated things like appliances, software, etc I can’t do as quickly or easily but I’m still pretty good at hacking together solutions with the help of YouTube and online forums.

    Has probably saved me thousands of dollars over my lifetime in keeping things running and not having to buy replacements, but also I lose a lot of time and space to all my “I can fix this” projects.

    A strong sense of spatial awareness, accurately eyeballing measurements, and reverse engineering things in my head without physically taking them apart.

    It comes in really handy as a welder, machinist, and a 3D print hobbyist.

    Poker face.

    No matter what I am thinking internally, it does not show externally. Essential skill for customer service.

    I have long legs and a long torso. It makes holding snacks out of the reach of my partner way easier.
