(1,206 posts)It's not that I'm good at a lot of things but two things come to mind.
I'm good at detecting BS, lies, exaggerations, hyperbole, etc.. When I encounter someone doing those things my internal danger flags pop up. I don't directly challenge the person but I will ask them questions about what they saying/talking about. I'll ask followup questions to the point the person either admits they don't know what they're talking about or they just give up. I love doing this when there's a group of people and there's a blowhard blowing smoke.
The other thing I was good at was when I was in the AF, I built AF cargo pallets of medical supplies/equipment. Many of the containers we used were of different dimensions so it was like fitting a jigsaw puzzle together. We couldn't exceed certain height/width, the pallet had to be balance so no side was heavier that the other, as well as putting the pallet cover and netting on correctly.
