As per the title. Do you have a crap super power?
Can you poo on command? Can you make any aftershave smell bad? Are you able to put fat on ten times faster than muscle? Do you have the muscle control to play a tune when you fart?

My rubbish super power is my fingernails grow faster than normal. How about you?

I can, without fail, pick the slowest moving line at the supermarket tills.

Ah, with age comes wisdom, clearly. My superpower is heading straight for the self service till, as I am certainly faster and more efficient than any dedicated till operative. Failing that, I can quickly assess the till operative and people in the queue. The ones with younger people in line, and the more Males the better. Women, and especially older Women are more likely to chat and have a coupon buried somewhere deep in their handbag, and pay in loose change.

I get walked into in the street, I get bullied swimming in communal swimming pool lanes and I'm jumped in the queue at any bar.

No honestly. The ability to blend in.

I'd be great at covert work.

Mention any subject, any subject at all, and I instantly know more about it than everyone else.

I can psychically tell that everyone is done with their food when the waiter asks at a restaurant.

See this interests me as I'm sure my nails grow really fast too, I always seem to be cutting them, my colleague reckons it is a sign of being healthy, I've Googled it to try and find out what it means, if anything, but nothing really comes up.

I can often forget what I was thinking half way through having the thought/ seconds later and will also wonder where an object is and start looking for it whilst I am already holding/wearing that very thing.

Most recent example is worrying I didn’t pick up the car key and left it somewhere like at home or in the office…whilst I’m driving…

I've given up Googling about my body. I got fed up of repeatedly being told by the computer that I only had 24 hours to live, regardless of the issue.

Long fingernails? 24 hours to live. Creaking knee? 24 hours. Ear ache? Sorry, that's 24 hours chap.

My superpower ability is to outlive all of these Google medical assessments.
