fraidycat Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm the only one who can turn a light OFF. Everyone can turn them on, but they haven't yet figured out how to get them to darken again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have the magical ability to replenish the toilet paper roll once it has run out.

displace Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You all are soooo funny! Behold my ability to kill all potted plants! Any plant labelled easy, low maintenance, or water infrequently will perish. If I can't kill them fast enough, my cats will be my accomplices. The plants outside will thrive, however.

kewb Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am the only one in the house to have the ability to notice the tp roll is almost empty and there are no more extra rolls in the bathroom and replenish them before the tp runs out.

sunflowerlady Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have the superpower of replacing the cap on the tube of toothpaste. Oh and I can "see" things and "know" where things are.

Tammi K Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 My dog is invisible to all but awesome me with special doggy-sighting vision. Everyone can be sitting in the kitchen 10 feet from the door with the dog standing patiently waiting until someone lets him out. But, alas he is invisible.

That super power is not necessary in our home; we have a Toilet Paper Fairy. I highly recommend her. We get her from the same agency as the Laundry Fairy, who magically deposits clean clothes in our drawers and closets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTulip Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am the only one in my house who has the power to close the front blinds and turn on the porch light when it starts to get dark at night.

Critterfixer Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am amazingly able to pick up and hand a hand towel beside every sink in this house. They magically fall to the counters.

Bambam Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 My super power is the ability to see used Kleenex on the floor *and* the ability to bend over and pick them up and deposit them in the nearby garbage can. I suspect others can see them as well, because they will step over them repeatedly. I have witnessed this on so many occasions. So, really maybe my super power is just the ability to bend over and pick them up. or *maybe* the rest of the clan has the super power of just not caring. .... hummm... My other super power *might* be the ability to see the end of the toilet paper is close at hand and get another roll and put it out just so no one ends up short. Survey says no one else in this house has that ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am the only person in my house who can turn off the light in the laundry room. (Don't ask me why *that* particular room.) I'm also the only person who has the ability to remember to keep the left basin of the kitchen sink empty. It has only been 20 years I've been asking the other adults to do this. And the ability to see my own dirt/mess must also be a superpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ahh... superpowers. Mine is filling up the brita water filter pitcher. For some reason everyone else can empty it, but I am the only one who can fill it. I recently was able to turn over my ice-cube-tray fillings powers to one of the minions, so there is hope.

elfgivas Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 my super power is putting things back in the fridge. i live with wonderful people who can cook amazing meals..... but are somehow unable to put the things they used back where they belong. my other super power is putting empty bottles, cans, etc in the recycle box.... and garbage in the garbage can. sigh.... reminds me of the crash test dummies song "superman"....

Lisa R. Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have the special ability of identifying whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty.

bzymom Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have powers which I try to only use for good. I have figured out that the dog will drink water from the bowl on the floor at unpredictable increments, requiring replenishment of this life-saving liquid, AND I have figured out how to do it. I have super secret knowledge about the giant blue can in the garage. It is marked "recycling" in 6" white letters to throw you off the scent. It is, in a twist of reverse psychology the likes of which I have never before encountered, meant to hold recycling until pickup day. I smirk at the clueless who continue to pile recyclables in the sink and basket, content in the knowledge that I am the chosen one. I can clean in a room in such a way that you can distinguish the newly-scrubbed room from its previous state. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 This thread is making me ROFL! :lol: I have many of these superpowers and more. Really, at the end of the day, I am the only one who just instinctively knows where things go in this house. It's a curse and gift. I try to use this power only for good, and never evil.

kewb Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I realized I have a couple of other super powers. I am the only one able to put the TV remote on the coffee table so everyone can use it.

Moxie Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It is a pleasure to be among so many greats!! My superpower is the ability to see the future.

Truscifi Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have the amazing and apparently rare ability to recognize which kitchen towel is already wet and use it instead of wetting a new one every single time something needs to be wiped. And the complimentary power of rinsing and hanging said wet towel so it is ready for future use. It's okay to be jealous. :coolgleamA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I have superrefrigeratorvisionarypowers. I am the only person around who can look into the refrigerator and easily see all the components of healthy, delicious meals and snacks. I am surrounded by wailing masses of starving ones who can only cry out, "But there's nuuuthin ta eeeeeeeeeat!" At times I cloak my power for the sake of encouraging the starving ones to become students of my ways and thus gain the power for themselves. Alas, I have yet to make a full fledged convert.

ElizabethB Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I also have the tp superpower. I used to have the superpower of being able to soak dishes so they will come clean in our sorry dishwasher. (We did not get to choose it.) But, I had the small people do all the dishes for a week and now they too share my dish soaking superpower and will remind anyone who forgets to rinse or soak a dish to soak it so it will get clean!! (Getting a 9 year old boy to notice and do this may be a true superpower, LOL.) Unfortunately, the other member of the family does not have dish soaking superpowers. He does, however, help with other chores and always empties the vacuum cleaner, an especially helpful chore with my allergies. His superpower is wiping down the sink, the rest of the family deems this unnecessary. He says that if we wipe down the sink he will put toilet paper rolls on the roll instead of on top of them!

Ripley Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Behold. My super curse power is the ability to CONNECT THE DOTS. Just yesterday I connected these dots during my shower: ... 8" standing water around my shins ... giant hairball in shower drain REMOVE HAIRBALL = WATER DRAINS AGAIN! It wouldn't have been that bad, except the comments that followed. "Hey! The shower works again! I wonder what happened ..." <-- age 15 "Mom? I think there's something wrong in the shower." <-- age 9 (from shower) "NOOOOOO!!!!!" <-- age 17, wants warm water around his ankles On second thought, maybe my super power is the ability to stay sane.
