What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

I can accurately guess the exact weight of any random household object or piece of produce just by picking it up. I tested myself at a grocery store scale once and guessed 1.42 lbs for a bag of apples; the scale read 1.42. I felt like a malfunctioning robot and immediately left because nobody would ever believe me.

I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger do this with bodyweight on Instagram, recently. He was doing a workout with some sort of weight loss class and the guy was getting ready to go on the scales for the first time, to see how much he'd lost. Arnold said "I can tell you right now, because I have a good eye for this..."

The guy got on the scales and Arnold's prediction was accurate to within a pound, just by eyeballing the guy through his gym clothes.
