No - farting, burping, knocking a can off a wall with a bodily fluid etc does not count.
I'm talking about things you think you are unusually good at or sensitive to.
I think I am incredibly sensitive to infra-red heat. I can feel residual heat from items on my skin from several feet away. For example, a kettle. I've just made a cuppa and went to the fridge for the milk. As I was approaching the area where the kettle is, my subonsciousness warned me there was something hot nearby - because I could feel it on my skin - from five feet away. I closed my eyes and turned my face in both directions and I could definitely feel the infra-red heat emanating from the kettle.
I say I
think I'm incredibly sensitive to infra-red heat as I have no idea whether this sensitivity is common or not and it's never occurred to me to ask - until now
I also think I have very fast vision - a super-high scanning framerate if you will. Back in the day when CRT monitors ruled, I would find it impossible to work with any screen that was set to a refresh rate of anything lower than 85Hz. I could see the flicker. Once past 85Hz, I couldn't see any difference all the way up to 120Hz, or whatever the maximum you could find was. Other people could barely spot if a screen was set to 60Hz. I also find that the newer LED stop & tail lights on cars appear as a high-frequency flicker to me. If I move my eyes rapidly left and right whilst looking at an LED tail light, it isn't one continual line of after-image, but a series of dots, as though the light is turning off and on rapidly. This one doesn't make complete sense to me as, as far as I know, LEDs don't actually flicker like that - they are a constant light source. So.... not sure what's going on there.
Either way, I'm designing my lycra superhero suit as we speak. I haven't decided on a name yet.
Do you have any superpowers ?

Will sir be needing a cape?
That’s when I discovered that no one else in the office could actually read it at all. We had to look up a magnified picture online to confirm what I’m saying is true.
You are indeed blessed with superpowers. Will you join with me (no.... not like that) ? We can be the founders of a crime-and-evil-fighting-syndicate.

I was once really off my face on heavy duty painkiller and said to my wife that I wondered how our friend we hadn't spoken to in a while was - I reckon she's going to call soon and tell us she's pregnant.
30 minutes later said friend called to say sorry she'd not been in touch for a while and she had news that she was pregnant.
100% coincidence and nothing spooky. But really did happen
I think I need a research grant and a good pharmacist.

I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
I really am that quick .. no hanging about .. murder on the bank account though .. :-)
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I also have an incredibly poor sense of direction. I'm not sure how I'd use that as a superpower but it is more extreme than most people's so I'm sure it must have a use.
