Uncanny ability to spot frickin bass boats in my neighbors yard/driveway and call the HOA Po-Po.

I too share in this powerful burden. It is a long road we walk, but we must for justice doesn't sleep. Do you also have Costco Return superpowers? Maybe we are both from the same lab.

A definite no on the Costco superpower, the only thing I buy from them is meat and wine, neither hangs around for long.

Common sense. Much like highlander there used to be many of us, unfortunately now there are only a few remaining.

It's a real shame how we started decapitating people with common sense.  

My friend went to the local park with his friend who has down syndrome (teen) last week. They were alone in the park when a lady and who appeared to maybe be her granddaughter joined them. The next thing you know the lady comes screaming up to my friend saying that his friend just peed down the slide. (He didn't) It rained the whole night prior. She wouldn't let it go. My friend and his friend walked away. They moved over to the merry-go-round. The lady comes screaming over at them saying that it's unsanitary to let him keep playing on the playground. My friend told her that she needs to leave him alone and to stop harassing them. My friend said you obviously don't know how the male anatomy works. (His shorts were dry in front and had water marks on his back shorts and back shirt from the rain water down the slide) She claimed she was in childcare and demanded to smell his shorts! My friend held his cool but made it clear that he wasn't going to take her harassment any more. She called the cops on the down syndrome kid. The funny part is the cops refused to follow up on the call. 

Common sense and staying out of other people's business is hard for some nowadays....

This story makes me sad.  I am glad your friend held his cool.  When I encounter mean, angry, and hateful people, I remind myself I get to leave and they are stuck being themselves.  Often times this makes me smirk at them, which usually makes the entire situation worse.

As a sibling of a special needs person, your friend gets a gold star. People are idiots. His super power is supreme patience.

What an idiot!  Good for the cops - to bad that can’t cite people for being moroons.

I think you are *VASTLY* underestimating your super-powers.

You do, but they are much more impressive to the ladies when they're not attached to your neck.

I gave up fishing in my early 20's as I was tired of other people telling me, "Oh, you shoulda been here yesterday!"

Living where you do then you might not understand how that also applies to us morel mushroom hunters who only come home full of ticks!

Not a mushroom hunter (love cooking with them) but I know exactly what you mean!  I spent many summers in northern Minnesota, and many more here in the Rockies, chasing photographs and shaking my coat/hat off (and brushing my hair) to rid myself of the damn things, before jumping back into the truck.  The bad thing is that the Rocky version carry Lyme disease (and I know of two suicides from that).  
 
I've only had one embedded tick.  There is a 2"-square patch of skin in the center of my back, that I can't reach with either arm, from any direction; so, you know where that little f*cker burrowed in.  Could see him in my mirror, and didn't want to go into Sick Call to have someone else get him.  Took a long hot shower, then was able to grab him with a long-nose pliers, looking thru two mirrors.  Eventually.  
 
Ah, the enchanting detours of a barbeque forum...

Not as un-tasteful as some discussions that pop up here! 

I always place a flea and tick collar on my Westie even though my vet says they don’t work (while she says those $6 collars don’t work she only wants to sell me a $75 alternative ... ) but these collars work for me...but my barber always asks “what is THAT thing?”

I also have great facial-recognition. I also unfortunately lack the ability to remember names.

While I am 76, soon to be 77 I can remember stuff that make most people even doubt me so then I have to add some kind of refresher to even that! Then if that doesn’t work I just quit! This memory trait is something I inherited from my Mother. Unfortunately Mom could remember very hurtful comments, events etc seemingly from all of her life and she lived to age 96. Many times the hurtful perps would say Mom just “wouldn’t let IT go”...
