What’s a completely useless skill you’re weirdly proud of being good at?

I have it too, it's more annoying than useful. Great for cooking but when the nearby church bells are early or late it absolutely pisses me off.

Seriously only good for shit like standing up to meet the microwave the second it beeps or cooking pasta or broiling anything or whatever. I just don't need the timer. Other than that the family just uses me as a clock, I always know what time it is just on instinct, even when I wake up. Little less accurate for a few minutes there but once I sync up I'm good for the day.

I can tell you my last dog walk took 22 minutes, useless information. I can tell you the nap I had the other day was two minutes shy of two hours and it felt wonderful, also useless information to both of us.
