What is your talent?
« on: December 22, 2013, 01:11:47 AM »
I'm sure have many talented people on here (even outside of the CC/airline/rental categories) and being an online forum we'd have no way of finding that out. So feel free to share I'd love to know if what people have a talent in. (Can also be a secret talent we won't tell anyone)


I never played anyone that was better at Foosball. Pretty sad talent to have, but it is what it is.

(If anyone here has never been beat I'd love to play you)

I can park in reaallly tight spots.  I also seem to have a malach finding spots for me.  A NYC talent that's worthless in the big world out there with parking lots. But, hey! I can park in Manhattan and Boro Park!

That's really valuable. Ever since I moved out of the city to where every store has a parking lot, I need at least 2 feet of clearance now whenever I parallel park :-\

I can do a great imitation of the Persian accent.
I was able to fake it in LA. It's a real crowd pleaser.

My talent? Guess. lol

Me too. My trick is:
1. Pull up next to spot. Get out of car, guesstimate whether it is physically large enough to hold your car.
2. Back in until hit back car.
3. Pull forward until hit front car.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until either car is parked, or car is wedged in manner that it is clear it cannot fit.

imo without bumping any of the other cars 2 feet total extra altogether is not huge

Yes, it was me who hit your car.

No reason to be so haughty, plenty of people I know also have that talent.

Someone once told me he parks his car with "feeling", reverse until I "feel" the back car, pull forward until I "feel" the front car...
