I have two useless talents:

  • Highly developed sense of smell (sometimes a liability)
  • Ability to identify voice actors with high accuracy

I once identified the source of a minute gas leak in my basement, which had evaded the calibrated detection equipment of the utility company, so I guess I can't say it's completely useless.

With you in the ability to smell. The only issue is I smell ALL THE THINGS. And it is overwhelming at times.

Did you ever puke in a wastebin just because you're overwhelmed by the smell?

and then go crazy because of the smell of puke in the wastebin?

Yep, no fun. I also can't stand strong perfumes and colognes.
