What's the most insignificant act you do incredibly well?

115. I have an incredible sense of smell

I drive my kids crazy searching for 'the smell' all the time. "Do you guys smell that? I smell something." I'll go around the house searching until I find the source, lol. When we were potty training our puppy, I'd be up in my room (2 storey house) and I'll yell at the kids, "Did the puppy poop? I smell poop!" And they would laugh because sure enough, the dog had pooped by the door...down a flight of stairs on the opposite end of the house. The kids were sitting right in the living room and didn't smell it (because the doggie's poop is not actually that stinky, relatively speaking. My brother's lab, on the other hand...)

I wouldn't say it's insignificant though. When my now-ex and I got together, I smelled something burning while I was upstairs putting away laundry, and when I came downstairs, the old Christmas lights on the tree (it was our first year living together and we had 'inherited' the lights from family) were heating up to the point the plastic on the tree was melting to the bulbs and just starting to smoke. Yeah, now I buy new lights every 2 years, I'm so paranoid. If it wasn't for my sense of smell, the house would've burned down. My ex was sitting in the next room and didn't notice.

I have never TRIED identifying things with smell, but I'm sure I could do it blindfolded, easily.
