Sometimes there’s too much emphasis on being THE BEST . . . or at least NOT THE WORST. But you really just need to be in the 80th percentile.
People are talking about the things they’re BETTER at than 80% of people . . . and the best responses have been:
1. “Picking the slowest line at the store.”
2. “Chess.” The person said, “I’m not that good, but 80%? That’s a low bar.”
3. “Looking you directly in the face while you’re talking . . . and not hearing a single thing.”
4. “Having a very good internal clock. I don’t need an alarm clock to wake up.”
5. “Handwriting.”
6. “Minding my own business.”
7. “Finding misplaced commas in a sentence.”
8. “Parallel parking.”
9. “Blowing tiny spit bubbles off the tip of my tongue.”
10. “Untangling things.” The person said, “Corded headphones . . . Christmas lights . . . tiny chained necklaces . . . you name it.”
11. “Throwing a frisbee.”
12. “[Complaining].”
13. And someone said, “I have an odd talent for judging volume. I can look at a pot of leftover soup and know exactly which container to grab to put it in the fridge with minimal headspace.”
