I am pretty good at getting Asian moms to like me... mostly just knowing what not to say ha. This skill hasn't gotten me very far in life, but it's nice to have some secret skillz.
What is one thing you are super competent at?
-
Ordering a drink at Starbucks. And I always get stuck behind someone that has no idea what they're doing.
-
@lawbee11: haha I can too...only because I worked there for 4 years. I can make drinks better than the people I now order them from.
I would say I am good at doing my hair/makeup, as well as remembering the most random things/most things. I have a pretty incredibly detailed memory.
-
eyeliner and movie quotes/song lyrics!
-
I'm really good at being able to sell stuff. Especially if I'm excited about it and really believe in it.
-
@Mrs. J: My memory started going at 30... hopefully you can avoid that fate!
-
hearing a song or jingle once and remembering it forever!
-
Directions. I can hear them/read them once and I'm there. I'll remember them forever.
-
Remembering stupid things!
-
@mrbee: I hope so! My dad has a pretty incredible memory still at almost 53 and 3 grown kids, so maybe it's in store for me. It's crazy the things I remember! DH never does lol.
ex: to propose, he took me to lunch where we went on our first date, and I had a feeling it was coming, so I wore what I wore on our first date. He had no idea that's why I wore that outfit.
-
@Bao: I'm so jealous. I am the absolute worst at directions. Like, legitimately directionally dyslexic. I always go the wrong way.
-
@smocks: lol this is so DH!
-
Organizing/planning. I make a mean to-do list
-
Decorating for a party! Everyone is allllways impressed with my party decor. .I can make my house look like anything!
-
I'm a super efficient packer. My hubby's clothes are typically bulky and he likes to pack "better safe than sorry", but I can easily pack more than a week's worth of clothes, under garments, and several pairs of shoes into a carry on for him without expanding the luggage or have it being bulky!
-
I can copy things that I see and draw and paint them.
-
@ArtBee: I'm jealous! I wish I could show you the deformed horses and unicorns I drew as a kid!
-
Booking flights/making travel plans on a budget. And I'm a super good packer.
-
@MsLipGloss: Yeah but I have no imagination of my own. I can't just think of something and draw it, I have to be looking at it. I'm jealous of those who can come up with their own art.
-
Party planning, cooking and singing
-
I know a million songs, going way back to preschool...DH is always impressed when I sing random tunes and know all the words.
-
Cooking and schmoozing (I know a little about a lot of subjects, which helps with the schmooze).
-
@Yoursilverlining: Schmooze is such a great word - lol!
-
Coffee. I know so much about it. And I can make beautiful latte art. And pull some perfect espresso shots!
Also, Microsoft Office. I'm a wiz!
-
I am really good at remembering what other movies or shows I have seen a random actor in before.
-
I can pick up anything with my toes. I can even tie a shoe with them. It's a pretty important skill.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Ooh, I think latte art would be a cool skill to have!
-
Remembering numbers! I can't remember what I ate this morning for breakfast, but if I see a number written down no matter what the signifiance (address, telephone number, account number) I will remember it. I can't tell you how many phone numbers I have stored in my brain!!! That's probably why I can't remember anything else!
-
Remembering stupid things like lines from movies. It's SUCH crap. Ha! I wish I could remember useful things!
I'm also a pretty good cook, I don't cook fancy things, but I do cook tasty things
-
I am a great deal finder, which basically means I'm cheap but I know how to make it work for me.
-
Writing about whatever. Editing stuff so it sounds nice and is super grammatically correct.
-
@alayaya: OMG you're like IMDB come to life!!
Like some of the others if I hear a song once I can remember the lyrics forever. I can also pick things up really well with my toes!
A really random one my mom has is she can untie any knot. Whenever I get a knot in a necklace chain I save it for my mom to fix for me. She loves it. Weirdo...
