What's your uncanny special talent, or what comes absolutely natural to you that makes others look at you in intrigue/disbelief? - eviltoast

I know not everyone of us has a special talent, but many of us do. Some are just incredible. So, what are they??

Edit: Please don’t be humble. Let it out. Be proud of it and share so we can marvel.

    I’m a software developer and for some reason I have the knack for breaking anything I touch.

    I once wanted to add a calendar from a URL, and assumed that putting it into the “add calendar” entry would do that. Nope, turns out that just creates a new calendar with an invalid name. I kept getting emails about having a folder with an invalid name that my work’s IT team couldn’t actually remove.

      That’s a gift that a QA team might pay a premium for.

      I learned as a developer that I can see the flaws in systems before most other folk which led me to become a system architect. I had one boss ask me “when you look at a forest do you just see paths for fire to spread?”
