Mine is pretty mild, but super useful. I never get rained on. It can be storming for hours, but the minute I need to leave the house the rain will let up. What's your real super power?
My super power would have to be Super Charisma. No matter how smart, wise or clever you are. When you speak with me. You end up spilling the beans on your plans/secrets.
I can fit into or dissappear in any crowd. Dunno why, but I have always had it extremely easy to talk to people and quickly become "one of the gang", but I can just as easily just disappear and become unseen and forgotten whilst being in a room full of people. I have on ongoing battle inside me where my extrovert and introvert sides are locked in a constant struggle for dominion.
I'm a time eater. No matter how many free time I manage to keep it always look like the same amount and it disapear in a second and that's why I can't do my work in time.
My super power is managing to combine working hours with staying on this forum
Teach me please. I'll give you cookies in exchange.
It's an innate ability, it cannot be taught
Well, it depends on your job. For me, it's writing legal documents and thus I can always put a comma and read the forum, then resume the document. It very much feels like a pause in-game.
Mine is the ability is to consistently stay up overnight procrastinating, getting three or four hours of sleep at best and somehow managing to get up in time for classes and make it through the day alive. Then come the sweet, sweet weekends where I sleep in.
I can calculate square roots or fourth roots by hand--no calculator or computer needed.
Using only a pencil and a straightedge I found a way to approximate both the cube root of 2 and pi to a reasonably high degree of accuracy (less than 0.25% error).
Finally, I can drain all the joy and excitement out of social situations, usually by talking about math.
Also super clumsiness, like ramming a cart on the cusp of a shelf, smacking myself in spectacularly silly ways, and hooking the loops of my clothes or shoes on stray corners which result in my tripping or snagging.

It's not a very good superpower...
I also share that as my secondary power. I don't know how many shirts I've ruined by not watching what I'm doing
Sneakiness. I'm a naturally silent person, both with my voice and with my body. I can walk right up to you and you wouldn't even know I was there. In fact, I'm probably next to one of you right now.
When there's a symposium or debate, I tend to put forth some closing remarks at the end of things I've missed, mostly combined with some general conclusion of what is said, putting forth a client's perspective on things put forth (mental health clients) and the 'superpower' is, I mostly get a spontaneous applause for putting things in a way that people recognize 'yes, this is what it's about' or such a feeling.
I'm used to getting such spontaneous applause when the public consists mostly of people with mental illnesses, but lately I've noticed I get the same result if the audience is policy makers (managers of reintegration instutes, mental health facilities and aldermen) and the same in an audience consisting mostly of caregivers (right translation? the people who take care of us - psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists and such).

So that's you standing next to me? May I have a cookie while your here?

Usefull at work, when a discusion is brought up the second time in, Let's say, two years. I know what the conclusion and motivation was. And to the joy of my coworkers, cutting short meetings, by interupting the person who started the discussion.
Procrastination. I'm the reining olympic champion of it.
@elminster I don't mean to brag, but I was awarded the Nobel Prize in procrastination about 8 years ago. I just haven't gotten around to accepting it yet. I'll tell you more about my procrastination skills, I just need to play some Icewind Dale first. I'll tell you later. Really, I promise.

The smell of cookies always gives you away.
Mine is obliviousness. The building could fall down around me and five minutes later I'll think, "did I hear a noise?"

Keen senses. I'm always the first one to see, hear, or feel something out of the ordinary. Many years of playing videogames have ingrained in me a sort of pattern-seeking behavior, which is actually a pretty useful skill to have.

Pretty useless. But really incredible to see.

(Ok you caught me I'm not yet the champion. The event keeps getting delayed.)

It's not really a power but it's superb.
