Okay, this thread isn't my idea. I just liked playing it last year and I don't think it's up yet, so we may as well start again.
Basically, you give the person below you a superpower they may not find completely helpful. So without further ado, I will assign the next poster the amazing ability to sense a few moments in advance that their telephone will wring. However, this premonition will cause them to space out and fail to answer said phone.
That sounds like a great superpower to me personally; I'd have an excuse other than fear of telephones to avoid answering them. Person below me has the amazing telepathic power.... to make people sneeze.
The power to always have ingredients "line up" (i.e. your peanut butter and jelly always run out at the same time, as does your cocoa and marshmallows, chips and salsa, etc)
Mwa ha ha!!! I am THE SNIFFINATOR!!! Even antibacterial soap will not hide your age from me!! You may not feel threatened by my powers now, but you will! YOU.....WILL!!!!
The person below me has the ability to turn any small electronic device into Cool Ranch Doritos.
Dear god, that sounds like the perfect superpower for me... well, okay, depends on how small. Maybe I could finally find a use for those dang Tamagotchis...
The person below me now has the power to know exactly how any particular book, movie or play will end as soon as they set their eyes upon it.
Useless Superpower
