I'm pretty good at knowing that claiming to be exceptionally good at anything is quite a statement.

I'm "OK" at a lot of different shit.
I have excellent style, applicable most importantly for dressing to the occasion.
Who was pushing Wayfarers 2 years ago?
adapting to any group of people and easily fitting in.
no this doesn't count for the internet.
Running the risk of sounding like angelface I am good at picking up chicks.
And making nachos.
yeah some people you just can't do anything for, but I usually do my best. I don't work with people long once i realize that they aren't willing to put reasonable effort into the subject matter. Generally, though, even if their basis is flawed or non-existent, it's usually just a matter of patience to build them up to a reasonable level. one on one tutoring, when done properly, is far more effective thana classroom environment.
Hello Smithers, you're quite good at turning me on.
this is sort of true, sometimes. in some cases the kid has a condition (from add to autism; these kinds of things are treated most effectively in one-on-one learning sessions), in some cases the parents have fucked up and raised an bastard or a lazy-ass kid, and in some cases a student's just missed something integral early on and needs a tutor to pay special attention. in an ideal school system, the tutor's job would be made redundant.
i did that as a teaching assistant at kumon and i also did private tutoring. i found kumon to be ineffective, frustrating and stupid. kids hated being there, and i hated its form of "teaching". kids i tutored privately liked me, they had a good time during sessions and, at least the students i had when i got good at it improved drastically, which was something i generally didn't see at kumon.the "tutoring" i do now is i sit in a common room and random people come in to ask for help
this supplements my teaching in 30-student tutorials, which i prefer given not all faces are blank
kumon kids picked up stuff like what a noun is and memorised their times tables, but they never really learnt stuff.
edit: following that, i will say that i am an exceptionally good teacher... in many, but not all, situations.
I am like a walking encyclopedia & dictionary.
People always say "Hey, I bet you know this one, what is(...)".
i've been told several times by superiors that i am exceptionally good at taking a complex idea and breaking it down to easily explain to others
Didn't work with zoints lol
I don't mean to toot my own horn but beep beep!
Charm, as in... I can near enough bullshit or talk my way in/out of anything. Like the time the police nabbed me for being a disorderly drunk. At 1st there was a lot of shouting and arm twisting, but 5 minutes in the van with them and they decide to not throw me in the cells, and let me right back out!
Edit: Also police on powertrips are assholes, they take out their little frustrations on you, so don't encourage those fuckers.
i am exceptionally good at recieving oral sex from beautiful women..
I am good at Warcraft.
Soccer. Everytime I go to the park to play I'm the best there. People hate it and try to take me out, but I'm too quick.
Life.
seriously, everything comes easy to me.
Oh and I'm also fucking awesome at customer service and handling people.
Pissed off people call up to abuse our company from time to time. As the manager of my division, their call will often come to me and typically they end up apologizing and thanking me for the excellent service we provide. It generally all comes down to finding the hook to remind them of their deep insecurity that they are secretly a very bad person.
Just this morning I replied to an email from a CEO's secretary who told us they were so annoyed that they had had a meeting and were never using our company ever again. They replied to my email saying they understood how difficult things are for us and appreciate the efforts we are going to to fulfill their needs. They also attached a submission asking if we would like to sign a $200,000 supply contract with them. I'm going to leave them hanging till Monday.
Everyone ITT looks like an asshole, but MrShrike looks like the biggest asshole.
I am good at sex, guns, drugs, and rock and roll.
And internet.
I'm good at feeling other peoples pain, and trying to help them in any way that I can. I guess thats a strength or a weakness depending on how you see it.
I'm good at running. And honestly that's about it. Most people have many talents, that's about all I've got. I'm totally average at everything else. I can't even thank myself for most of my running abilities, a lot of athletic ability really IS genetic, my dad was a track star in high school and some of his records stand to this dayl. I won my first open track meet at age 12 on no training. I can make the most of what I was born with (and do) but it's not like I invested a whole lot of blood sweat and tears into my talent, which kind of makes me feel like poo sometimes when I see guys who bust their asses finish in the middle of the pack. I mean I train too, but I start out with an unfair advantage. And while winning races is nice and all that, it really is lonely at the top sometimes.
I truly wish I could be "just slightly better than average" at 3 or 4 things and have gotten there by my own effort instead of outstanding at 1 thing that I can't even really take credit for.
