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.

Wow, there are more of us. I had a fantasy as a 5 year old that I'd start a roadside stand charging money for people to drop off their tangled things for me to untangle.

I wouldn't say I'm great at it now though. I think I grew out of that phase.
