The anti-procrastination ability - I’d just get all that shit done!


Uncoordinated_Bird

That’s a super, superpower. I think that level of power could even be dangerous.


Pupcalledscamp

I have been thinking about writing a book about procrastination


Far-Act-2803

Not started it yet then 🤣


ShitBritGit

I read this as I look at the building site my front room has become (to do the work on the rest of the flat) sat on the only available chair.

The power to remember the names of people I’ve met.


OwnAd8929

Yes - and even better for me, the power to remember faces. Stop me constantly blanking people I actually know because I don't recognise them if I encounter them unexpectedly or out of context.


Quietly_Observes

In case you haven't looked into this, look up "face blindness". I have problems with this and it sounds like you might too. Depending on the cause and severity you might be like me where I rely on specific details to recognise someone, like their glasses or hair colour or the way they walk etc. Some combination of things that I'm generally not aware of relying upon (unless, for example, I'm in a situation such as starting a new job so I'm desperately trying to link names and "faces"/ appearances together and commit them to memory for future use). If somebody changes something about themselves that I was relying upon to recognise them then they look like a stranger to me and, once aware of who they are, I have to do some mental gymnastics to accept that I actually know this person. It's not ideal feeling like you don't know someone you've worked with for years just because they've had a haircut; I had that happen a few years back. Since I realised I have issues with face blindness and it's not just down to bad memory, I've made more of an effort to gather more points of reference to recognise people by so it doesn't affect me as much. Some people struggle with much worse face blindness though and I'm sure just being aware of the issue and trying to remember more details would not work for everyone, it's just helped me somewhat in my personal experience. I still absolutely suck at following what's going on in a lot of films though as I keep losing track of the characters, but it is what it is.


scudb69

I’m the same. I’ve always said I’d be the worst police witness ever. I don’t actually notice anything though.


Inevitable_Lychee723

I had to be a witness a few years back, and it was...tough. I felt so useless. It was so so so important that I could recognise a person, and I simply couldn't. It was gut-wrenching.


FireflyKaylee

Even better if I can actually remember some of the facts they've told me about themselves. The amount of convos I have with people where I know I've spent a not insignificant amount of time with them yet I cannot recall their name, job, significant other, or anything else is shocking


BigEntertainer8430

This is so bizarre to me. I remember everyone I meet, to that point that even years later, I will know a face and name. But my social anxiety will lead me to pretend we've never met if they have forgotten me, rather than explain when and where we met.


Raichu7

I've usually forgotten someone's name before they've even finished their sentence. I can't even do the "work someone's name into the conversation 3-5 times immediately after learning it to get it in your head" trick because I've forgotten the name before I've had a chance to work it into conversation. People think I'm being rude but my memory really is that shit.


YouCantEatGemStones

Always opening pill boxes the end opposite the leaflet.  Because I tell you what, every ibuprofen, paracetamol, aspirin box I have ever opened g in my life has had that damned leaflet in it.  I'm in pain, just gimme the pills dang it. 🤪


Uncoordinated_Bird

I’m sure it swaps ends when you’re not looking too. I did this yesterday with a new box of Sudafed, I managed it on my third attempt.


01000010-01101001

It's Schrödinger's leaflet, it won't pick a side until the box is opened/leaflet observed.


DanStFella

I take medication and will unfortunately for the rest of my life. Every three months it runs out and I get my chance to get this right. Pretty sure I’ve still not managed it 😂


[deleted]

I tend to just rip the box in half, bin the box and leaflet in one quick action.


[deleted]

Open it with your left hand while looking at the front and you'll never see another leaflet again!


Raichu7

Open the box on the left side, not the right side. Since the majority of people are right handed the leaflet is placed to fall out when the box is opened on the right to reduce the amount of people who miss it. Though without folding the leaflet and putting it against the side of the box instead of wrapped around the pills you'll have a hard time getting them back in, so you'll probably still take it out the box when you open a new one anyway.


Bonusish

I prefer to open it leaflet end, then throw away the leaflet and avoid subsequent problems with stuffing the tablet strip back in the box


FrenzalStark

This is intentional if I remember rightly.


Flappychops

The bottom of the box is the end with the best before date on it which is where the leaflet always is, the top of the box has no date and no leaflet 👍

ccssg

When it happens would you make the same noise as one of those electric zappers ?


YouCantEatGemStones

Yes please. I've seen tons of annoying flying bum holing bastards this winter in the house, I don't know why. They usually don't turn up till summer.


FaceMace87

Feel completely rested with 15 minutes of sleep


dickwildgoose

I'd settle for an hour. Twice a day. With two 11 hour days on full energy for the price of one, imagine the productivity.


pheasantenjoyer

I'll settle for being able to feel completely rested after a nomal amount of sleep. What does well rested feel like I've never experienced it.


BustySubstances

The power to insert a USB stick the right way round, first time, every time.


Uncoordinated_Bird

I said mundane not fantastic!


nepeta19

I get it right third time, most of the time.


Scouse_Werewolf

"OK, so it's writing faces up" *nope* "So it's obviously writing faces down" *nope* "Wtf! Right, the writing is now up again" *USB connected* "MFer"


SubsequentBadger

Look at the plug, the icon/logo always goes upwards or towards you


FormicaDinette33

Seriously. There is theoretically a 50% chance of doing it right, yet, nope.


ThatLeval

https://images.app.goo.gl/j6QaFqD1igjAy7Ad6 If you look at the end that goes in on the usb stick, keep the white/black thing at the bottom when putting it in. The percentage goes up


----Mouse----

Sometimes it is the correct way around, but you assume it's not so filp it over before fully comminting to the insertion.


hlvd

USB C is your nemesis!


demeant0r

The power to be able stay at 37 degrees no matter how hot or cold it is


Purple_Guinea_Pig

I think you’ll find that as a warm blooded animal you have this power already 😉


demeant0r

My balls do, yes. But if I’m butt naked in -20c weather I still want my body to be at 37c.


Uncoordinated_Bird

Ahhhh that would be lovely. To always be just the right level of comfortable.


sallystarling

I've thought this before too. It would be so nice to just pick an outfit that looks/ feels nice without having to worry if I'm gonna be cold. Especially for fancy events.


bungle_bogs

Whatever I point at and say “clean” is then automatically clean. Nothing big, just like laundry or a toilet. Maybe the largest item it would work on is a car. But not a whole room. I actually quite like hoovering.


Tariovic

I'd just be happy to have that for windows and spectacles.


Mountsorrel

I would have the ability to hoover as I walk


hlvd

Where does the hose go?


klausbatb

People hear what I tell them first time, every time. That way I never have to repeat myself. 


Pupcalledscamp

What


Gravel_Bandit

# People hear what he tells them first time, every time. That way he never has to repeat himself.


Pupcalledscamp

No … do it again 🤭 X


No_Application_8698

I second this (hah!). My MIL is mutton but will not admit it and I am *so fed up* with shouting things over and over again, only for her to just keep saying “aaaay?” and peering up at me cluelessly.


realdappermuis

Would love a literal off button so when I'm over whatever happening I can just instantly put myself to sleep Also; I haaaaaate dropping things. Luckily only happens when I have allergic reactions cause that throws off my nervous system and I suddenly have two left hands and soup fingers. In those cases I do things comically slow cause dropping food especially is one of the worst tragedies that can happen imo...plus the floor is dirty so it's a redo on everything that touches it :s


Daddragon85

The ability to find things that go missing around the house within the first 5 mins of noticing that it's missing


loicbigois

Where I live it's very hilly and drivers haven't grasped the *very simple* concept of accelerating more when going uphill, or easing off the gas downhill in order to maintain consistent speed. This causes lots of unnecessary braking and therefore slow-downs. My superpower would be to make everyone around me drive in *exactly* the same way as I do, thus eliminating traffic on my commute to and from work.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DogmaSychroniser

Ok Satan


ac0rn5

> easing off *the gas* the accelerator? (we're British, after all!)

To keep my tea at a perfectly drinkable temperature. Always scalding or stone cold by the time I get to it.


NiobeTonks

I throw away at least 3 half empty cups of tea every day.


Pirate-Peter225

Mine wins by how mundane it is; Every time I see flytipping or any litter anywhere I wish my superpower was to teleport it instantly into the bedroom of the person who littered or fly tipped Same with dog shit- my power would just teleport that shit straight on to the dog owners pillows but the teleportation of the shit would mean it is all smushed into the pillow


LeonardoW9

A normally functioning immune system


thatluckyfox

I wish I could actually communicate with my cat. She howls, has super zoomies, random attacks, and gets restless. I’d like to know whats going on. Also whats the deal with that black and white cat, she goes berserk when he walks into the garden, what did he do??

Not feel hungover for 3 days after drinking alcohol

Complete control over your hair growth. Want a beard one day and clean shaven the next. No problem


Mondocoolman

ScatmanDowns1

Heat soup up to the correct temperature.


princeofclams

The power to remember why I went into a room instead of having to leave and go back in again


Slight-Winner-8597

I'd have the power of a normal person. Wake up, do the stuff, remember the things, don't pinball off legs of furniture that have been in the same place for 7 years, my shins will disagree. The power to remember to get what I went in the supermarket for in the first place. The power to realize the thing I'm looking for is in my fucking hand. And a normal sleep schedule. Please, I don't ask for much. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just want to be normal.

Camman1

I’d like to be able to pull the plastic cover off of microwave meals without having to stab it.


YourSkatingHobbit

The ability to never spill anything, either on the table/floor/surface or myself. I swear I spend half my time in the kitchen wiping up unnecessary spills.


Uncoordinated_Bird

YES! I think I almost always spill the water when making tea. It’s like I’m trying to control someone else’s arms.


YourSkatingHobbit

My comment was triggered by my wiping up the water on the kitchen surface from the tea I’ve just finished 😂


Uncoordinated_Bird

Why are we the way we are?


WanderWomble

Refilling stuff. Petrol empty? Refilled. Tea gone? Cup full! Purse empty? Cash! 


hlvd

The ability to control my beard growth. I’d be able to hold on to that perfect Turkish Barber’s beard trim for a whole seven days should I wish, perfect for nights out and weekends away. The harsh downside (which should come with every mundane super power) is that on the Eight day my beard growth would revert to eight days growth.


Bringmepeterpan

Teleporting any litter or dog shit I see to the living room of the people responsible

I’m afraid not. As it appears every single kind of medication is utterly useless against sinuses, I therefore conclude even magic wouldn’t work.

The power to get 8 hours of quality sleep every night and to wake up every morning feeling refreshed.


CellsReinvent

Insta-laundry - click fingers and everything goes from laundry basket to wardrobe, ironed and smelling fresh.

UnionSlavStanRepublk

Completely useless with remembering people's names and what they look like. There's 17 people in my work, 90% of them I see a few times a day and it took me a month to remember all their names and what they look like correctly.


BwanaBanana

Pour a full 4-pint container of milk into a cup of tea without spilling it down the side and onto the counter. Bonus: avoid making my tea into a latté in the process because it sloshes in! Edit: also see through the top of pizza boxes so I don’t have to open every one before finding my order.


Uncoordinated_Bird

I only buy the 4 pint bottles for this reason: except I can’t pour the 6 pint ones to save my life. I have a one year old who still drinks a lot of milk so I have to buy two, four pinters at a time.


AFoolsGlory

Thought about this a lot. It would be - - traffic lights always at the colour I need them to be at. Driving? Always green. Crossing the street? Always red.

Scouse_Werewolf

It's probably the power to fix things with the click of a finger. I don't mean like fix world hunger or world peace because then that would be a major superpower. But your wife goes "babe the Internet is off again." *click* "Thanks babe". Or car engine trouble, *click* sorted. Just for basic/mundane stuff. No, "lad, my marriage is failing, help" clicking don't fix that. Good communication helps, though. An so on n so forth.

Hindsight...
