Abilities only you seem to have
Discussion
I was reading the "Simple things you can't do" thread and it got me thinking about the weird talents / abilities we must have that nobody else seems to possess.
Mine is a strange one:
If I put something in the oven and set a timer for, let's say 30 mins, after about 29 mins and 30 seconds I'll get a strange feeling that makes me get up and ask Alexa how long is left on my timer. It is always under a minute and usually when I get up I see the 10 second countdown on the Alexa screen.
I suppose I just have a very accurate perception of time, but it's weird how often I get it right. (no I don't look at clocks etc throughout the 30 mins).
What's yours?

I can raise one eyebrow independently, Roger Moore-style.
But I can do it with either eyebrow.
Not met many others with a similar (obviously life-changing) ability
cue loads of others saying they can do it
Hate to say it, but this is something I can do too lol. I can do it to music which always makes my 3 year old chuckle. But I can do it with either eyebrow.

Or you don’t notice or recall the times when you looked and there was more time remaining. You need a controlled experiment to record all outcomes and analyse the statistics ;-)Mine is a strange one:

Every now and then I'll ask Alexa how long's left and it's something soul destroying like 2 minutes and 46 seconds. I hear my wife cackle like a deranged parrot from the other room because she knows I've pissed off the time gods.
Just remembered another one, I'm right handed and when I attempt to write with my left hand it comes out mirrored. I can write cursive from right to left, backwards. Weird.
I can also easily read documents that are upside down or mirrored - handy during job interviews or performance reviews.
