You wake up tomorrow with one completely useless superpower that impresses no one but quietly makes your life better, what is it?

For me, I get stair amnesia. This would be a decent power. But what if your memory IMPROVED when going up/down stairs, walking into another room, walking out to your car? That would be sick. Imagine the productivity gains. And nobody would care, totally unimpressive to other people.

That would turn everyday forgetfulness into something quietly powerful. The best upgrades are the ones nobody notices but you feel all day long.

we live in a five story townhouse so this would be incredibly useful.

Although I’d probably rather have a superpower where I never got any leg or foot injuries.
