Does your body have an involuntary talent that you find very impressive?

Asked by le_inferno (6194points) August 21st, 2009

For example, I always thought it was awesome how I would never have to poop while I was out, but the second I entered my house, the urge hit me. It’s like my body was just waiting for the right time to let it out. Also, some people have the ability to tell themselves when they need to wake up and their body wakes up at exactly that time. Does your body do anything cool like this?

My hidden talent would probably be intuition. It’s wierd that when I’m somewhere and havea bad feeling about something, usually I get a call or hear some bad news.

I have an internal alarm clock. I almost always wake up exactly when I need to.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities, that’s me, too. No need for an alarm clock. Even if I nap during the day and have to get up at a certain time.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I had that when I was younger (as in really young). Not anymore, unfortunately.

I do often need to pee when I’m brushing my teeth. I don’t really like that one.

Oh, and I never gain considerable weight. Still not sure if it’s really healthy, but hey :)

Yeah. There’s a point midway on my mail route where I have an opportunity to use a restroom. Right before I get to this point I always feel the urge to go, even if I didn’t have to at all a couple minutes earlier. The same thing happens right after I brush my teeth before going to bed.

Don’t laugh at me, but I have to pee whenever I hear a bell or buzzer!!
you can laugh.. it’s ok!!

It seems my Mother used the Pavlov method of potty training when I was a toddler, and it has lasted a lifetime!

When I was 18, my bedroom was over the kitchen, and our baqthroom was on the first floor. I got up one night to use the bathroom, and found the timer for the oven buzzing away when I got downstairs. I thought it was odd because that stove had been there from before I was born, and to my knowledge the timer never worked. The next morning at breakfast I turned to my Mother and said, “Hey Mom, I thought you said the oven timer was broken.” She asked me why I was asking, and I told her that I got up to use the bathroom and heard it buzzing.

She started laughing hysterically. when I asked her what was so funny, she said that when I was being potty trianed, she set the oven timer, and when it went off… ding!! time to go potty!!

I curse her to this day for that because any buzzer or bell makes me run for the john. When the alarm goes off in the morning, there is no setting the snooze feature and rolling back over to sleep. I have to go!!

My right elbow cracks when I torque a wrench at 150 inch pounds.

I had a roommate who could set her internal alarm clock at will. She would tell herself what time she needed to get up in the morning, whether it was 5am or 8am or 10am, and that is when she would wake up. Always 2 minutes before her alarm. It was weird.

The only “talent” I have is the ability to move my pinky toes independently of the others. I can “wave” with them.

apparently my eyes change colour with the seasons pretty drastically, and to a lesser extent dependent on my moods (I have no idea either way because I’m colour blind, everyone says that though)

people say they go like this:
Summer: almost a gold, like wheat fields.
Fall: they start to turn Greenish-hazelish
Winter: pretty green, except for a ring of hazel in the middle of my iris
spring: they start getting lighter again, more of a hazel.

always thought that was kind of cool.

I smell a really strong metallic scent, almost like that smell you get when you’re punched in the nose, when something bad is about to happen.

@figbash is that you, Peter Parker?

I have an incredible sense of smell. Odd really. I also hear high pitch noises, I.E. I can hear a tv on when it’s a black picture and most people would assume it’s off.
