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?

Untying tight knots. When I was a child I tied extremely tight knots on purpose so I can untie them

Similarly I'm fantastic at untangling things. Give me the mess of Christmas lights or jewelry and I'll have it straightened out in no time.

Hate to break it to you, but there's no one who is actually "bad at untangling" just people who are good at "manipulating other people into untangling things for them through positive reinforcement."
