What is your significant other's superpower?

[achromia]

As we now know, housecarder's husband husbandcarder is a Spreadsheet Wizard.

So what about your family? Got a human calculator in your house? Can your other half make plants grow like a druid? Are they a self-taught Wolfgang Puck?

Tell us about the quirky or incredibly useful thing your SO is amazing at doing!

[joy]

Calm. He's Captain Calm.

I don't even understand.

[longhornwino0907]

Mr. Longhorn (Mr. Wino may be more appropriate) is a genius with numbers. He's an engineer and can do all sorts of computations in his head. And he's the best Excel user I think I've ever seen in my life. He created a self-scoring spreadsheet for his family's college football bowl picks (because they refuse to move over to a Yahoo or ESPN thing). It's amazing.

[achromia]

My DH is so handy it's ridiculous. If something in our house breaks, from plumbing to electrics to cabinetry, he always magically knows how to fix it. He's a handyman-wizard.

[Rama]

MrRama knows all sorts of random trivia. If I ever get picked for Cash Cab, he better be with me.

[pinkcat]

His memory is really amazing, and the amount he knows about sports is crazy. He is like a walking Wikipedia. Other people are always impressed at the trivia he knows or the things he can remember.

He's also the best at sarcasm- I've never met anyone else who can so appropriately and hilariously get comments in that my others (and myself!) laugh.

I like this question-a good way to start the weekend, it made me think for a few minutes about all of the reasons I love my husband I love and appreciate him.

I'm trying to picture the appropriate superhero uniform... I think it would consist of calming shades of taupe and light blue.

That is my dream.

[shadesofgold]

All the computer things.

[SheilaTheTank]

MH can organize anything, and I mean anything, so that everything fits perfectly. Packing suitcases are like Tetris to him. He organizes our entire house and it's wonderful.

He can do amazing things with computer programming and design. 99.9% of the stuff he knows he taught himself. He never gives himself enough credit though.

[shadesofgold]

Are we trying to brag on our husbands in case they all join and stalk what we wrote about?

[mustloveerica]

A is a master at making our pets talk, falling down or ballerina dancing randomly just to make me laugh and he makes the best coffee ever.

He's my sunshine because he's always out to make me happy. Even if I'm in a crappy mood he can always make me laugh.

[mrsjene]

Everyone tells me that H is one of the funniest people they've ever met.

I'm there to keep his ego from inflating.

Mostly I was just curious what hidden talents we were all privileged to enjoy, but if earning brownie points is a side effect I'm all for it.

[teraiin]

My husband can find good uses for almost anything in terms of organization and can organize the house really well. So well that I quite often lose things.

Compared to other super powers I guess it's not that exciting.

My husband doesn't even understand Facebook.

[icaughtfire]

Mr. Fire is one of the funniest people in the world.

He can build/fix anything.

He is really pretty good in the bedroom department.

He puts up with my crazy everyday & is totally fine with it. That's some wizard shit right there.

[akraus2015]

DH is a car guru. He fixes cars, builds race cars, builds car engines...things my brain could never comprehend. It seems like he can just look at a car and instantly know what's wrong with it. It amazes me.

[thechickencoop]

H can fix ANYTHING engine/electrical related. Anything. He's so handy.

And he has a special place in his brain for movie quotes. He knows Sooo many; he can pretty much quote lines from any movie he's ever seen which is a ton.

[notthedroids]

H can ALWAYS make me laugh. One time after an exceptionally shitty day he went in the garage and came back in the house in work boots, underwear, a reflective vest, and a hard hat and started dancing. It was amazing.

+1

Also he can name the capitol of any country. ANY country.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Señor Burritos is good at creating the interwebs. He's also a little too good at Marvel Comic trivia. It's becoming an issue.

[lilsneezy]

Mr. Sneezy is a super talented artist. He can paint, draw, and tattoo his ass off. It's pretty impressive.

He also makes the BEST wing sauce!

[Rama]

Also, MrRama can make a song out of anything, has an incredible knack for puns, and memorizes anything he watches/hears/reads within two-three goes.

[achromia]

Aw, you guise, I love hearing about these cool things your dudes can do!

I'm glad to know how many of them are good at making us laugh, too, since sometimes it can feel like a sense of humor is the only thing keeping me sane after a shitty day at work or a bad TTC day.

[butlerfan]

He really good at movie lines and music. I will say something and he can will find a song.

He is great in bed.

He is a good do it yourselfer/repair man

He is an excellent cook/chef

he is great with kids

He is hopeless at findig anything and is constantly losing/misplacing items.

I am the finder and human calulator.

[mazzola23]

Mr. Mazzola is amazing at selling software. He beats his sales goal in June/July every year.

He is ultra organized- prints labels for everything, spreadsheets galore, everything.has.its.place.

He is funny as hell, and I love when he cracks up at his own jokes.

Yep. This. We watch any Marvel movie, and he gives me backstory on every character, what the story looked like in the comics, and a plethora of other information I didn't really need to know.

Although I did start listening to an X-Men podcast recently. I think telling H that turned him on more than anything else I've ever done.

[URMySunshine77]

DH knows everything about investments and baseball trivia, and he is also pretty talented in bed.

Is it crazy that I find that a turn-on?
