What elite level skill do you have that makes people uncomfortable?

0:05.1

Remembering things about people. I have lied about not knowing things to not seem too much like a creep.

0:11.7

Remembering somebody else's schedule. Walking with minimal sound. I creep up on people all the time.

0:18.3

I don't mean to, but I make almost no sound when I walk. I'm the

0:22.1

Retail management without machines can do the same. The bigger stores all

1:12.3

have bill counters and weigh their change. Remembering oddly specific details about someone's past.

1:18.6

I tend to remember the odd crap people say for years, and it tends to freak them out. The worst

1:27.0

it in the first place.
