What’s a totally useless skill you have but are weirdly proud of?

I can read text in any orientation, even if mirrored, as easily as if it was right side up / not mirrored. Not sure why, and almost completely useless, but was surprised to discover that supposedly not everyone can do this?
Just as easily from every angle? No slowdown at all, even for mirrored text?
That's pretty cool, even if it is mostly useless.
Yep, it's like it's automatically transformed back to normal in my mind's eye :). Mirrored and upside-down presents a little challenge, but everything else is no trouble.
I definitely can't!
TIL4u?
(If applicable in your region)
I laughed in my head about this. Then sometime ago, I realized emergency vehicles had this on purpose because it looked the correct-way-around when I saw it through the rearview mirror
:) yes,
a privilege! Owing to our ability to notice when words are mirrored in the first place
Fr, for the longest time, I just stared and squinted like having smelt a bad fart, thinking, did they make a mistake printing it that way? Why?
Just curious, are you left-handed?
I'm not! I'm barely even right handed, honestly - I'm incredibly uncoordinated.
