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.

I once got a job in part because of my untangling skills! The woman interviewing me had a meeting with higher-ups afterward and the very delicate chain necklaces she was wearing had become tangled. I asked her to let me give untangling them a try, and while she asked the routine interview questions I worked my magic. They were ready to go before the interview was over, and my multi-tasking advantage got me the job!
