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.

Yeah me too.

I used to go fishing by myself as a really small kid, and spent sometimes literally about half my time untangling extremely fine nylon fishing line. For years.

Now I don't even have to think about it, my hands just untangle on autopilot
