For whatever reason, I had to read that like 5 times. I was constantly reading it pull u-p-s. "Whats that?" "What does u-p-s stand for?" "United Parcel Service? Ehhh no. Uninterruptible power supply? Probably not." Finally got it. Weird.

I can do the same thing.

I freaked out my P.E. teacher pretty well back in middle school

Me too.

I've got a good trick to do with it that really freaks people out. With both hands palm down and fingers slightly spread out approach your left hand with your right hand and form a loose fist around your left thumb (this is assuming your left thumb is the double-jointed one). Click with your right hand, and then show your left thumb in its freaky position... people think you have just broken/dislocated that thumb. Do it again and claim you're putting back into place. Quality.

Odd, but it happens to a certain percentage of people and I'm one of the lucky ones.

Gets annoying sneezing every time I go outside though

Hahaha I have that too!! Sometimes when I step outside into bright light and I'm on the verge of sneezing, I simply look at the sun and it always makes me sneeze instantly.

Jeopardy. Except opera where my standard answer is "Puccini"
I've taken Jeopardy to the next level. I answer the final jeopardy question with only the category announced. I've done it 5 times.

I am strangely good at catching falling items.

I can make a fart noise with my collar bone.

My gf says I am the most coordinated clumsy person shes knows. I can juggle booze bottles all night long, but I will normally spill my drink at some point.

25 pull ups is very decent... but i wouldn't call that ridiculously good (i can do ~20s). Anyways, if you were good at it, you could probably win some bar bets. I had a shop teacher in high school who use to brag that he could do 30 chin ups, and would challenge students. Well one year, this one student was a gymnist, and while the shop teacher did 30, he was well above 50+ before he came down.

Personally for me though, i can do smoke rings. I use to be good enough that i could shoot out one big one, then shoot a small one through the ring. I pretty much stopped smoking though... although when i do social smoke, i still have a habit of doing smoke rings (hell, it's what got me smoking).

I highly doubt that. What if you were in the middle of a wedding reception and at the table with your parents and grandparents?

I'm paranoid and can identify every safety hazard an object can cause in a room. Then the sh!t hits the fan and I laugh.

I second that. Best records are 4 seconds, 48 seconds, and around 150 seconds(forgot the exact number). But then I found where to change the high score, and it didn't feel as fun anymore
