Tell me something you do really well. Customer service, baking, math, etc. It can personal, professional, or completely off the wall.

understanding toddler-speak. When no one else can figure out what the hell the kid is saying, bring them to me, I will figure it out.

Writing empty bullshit and googling.

My college degree has imparted upon me such useful skills.

Remembering actors from movies and recognizing them later. I'm talking about third spear carrier to the left and other obscure people. My friends simultaneously use it as a party trick and get annoyed when we're watching something and I say, "I know that guy!"

I rock at customer service. I rarely if ever get truly angry or upset or take anything personally and am really good at smiling and being patient and calm and getting through to irate customers. And I even kind of like it.

I'm pretty good at remembering how our work systems operate and how to fix errors. Enough so that when it failed for the 7th time in one day I fixed it myself instead of waiting for tech support

Math, random facts about space, and, apparently, hack & slash video games. I'm also a walking Mass Effect FAQ. That counts for something, no?

I'm really good at getting stains out of clothes and also reviving older clothes that have faded or yellowed. I'm not as good at determining which clothes are worth doing those things for, though.

Understanding my father. Apparently he has a very hard to understand accent.

Also, filling in plot holes in things I've watched/read/whatever.

Memorizing random facts usually. Sometimes though, I'm usually the one who has to pat my mother's shoulders whenever she's angry. I dont usually talk to her when this happens, but she knows what I'm trying to do, and that helps her a bit.

Putting together flat-pack furniture - I once disassembled a double loft bed with a desk underneath it, moved it across the house, and rebuilt it in another room on my own in one day - and untangling things.

Hand me your busted slinkies and Christmas lights so knotted up they've turned into their own singularity, and they will be bouncing down stairs and lighting up the Christmas tree within the hour!

The weird part is, aside from that, I'm really goddamn unco-ordinated...

Organizing stuff and/or purging mess drawers/closets/houses. I am queen of those things.

Plus, i can fold fitted sheets.

Identifying black locust trees that have been killed by fungus.

This is hard because the best way to id the trees is by their bark, 2nd best by their leaves, and once the fungus has killed them the bark falls off and they usually break off a few feet from the ground, so they're topless. For ecology class in college we had a lab in the local forest where we were taking stats on trees killed by the fungus, and I had a knack for spotting them.

This is something I am good at that I will NEVER USE AGAIN. C'est la vie.

Interviewing. :) If I'm qualified for a job and they give me an interview, I'll probably get the job. I mean, I haven't been rejected after an interview once.

I'm also good at small talk. These two things are probably related.

Accepting people. I like pretty much EVERYONE, and the people I don't like I'd LIKE to like (if that makes sense)...my family is kinda famous for absorbing people immediately. Like, if you come to dinner at our house you will be treated like family instantly--both in that we totally accept you and we put you to work.

only problem is that it can be a little hard to know what to DO with the people I've absorbed lol.

I'm good at packing a large number of things into a finite space and making them all fit. It's like Tetris, but I'm actually good at it.

I also like to think I'm pretty good at baking and cooking.

I'm good at memorizing strings of numbers. I didn't realize how good until my prof put up a long string to demonstrate how fallible the human memory is for large chunks unrelatable data. Turns out, it was his home phone, and US social and Canadian social numbers. I don't think he does that trick, anymore.
