...stand above the average person?
Kinda opposite of the prompt:
Scuba!
Lots of divers will tell you that buouancy control is difficult for most divers. Mine is absolutely good. I teach underwater photography and can hover within a fraction of an inch over a super silty bottom while swimming backwards and taking video without stirring up anything.
I have other instructors and professionals come to me for buoyancy training.

Not getting stung by bees?
If I was to base it off people I know IRL, it'd be video games. But against the collective of gamers on the internet, I don't even rank. :/
Well... I guess that's just skill. Experience, though... Many streamers and gamers are a fraction of my age, and I've been gaming since as far back as I remember.
Well, it's definitely not my height, hahahaha π₯²
But I'm pretty good at ~~not giving up~~ getting obsessed with a problem and basically bashing my head against the wall until the wall gives in.
Or until a new problem steals my focus.
Like, I have no mechanical experience, but I did a valve adjustment on my motorbike.
Besides my professional skills, which are so boring theyβre not worth mentioning, Iβm good at snapping my fingers? I can do both hands really fast.
Also, standing on one leg, having internal monologues that can last for hours and other useless skills :)
Hacking Nintendo consoles
Living outside my home country.
Installing operating systems.
Skateboarding. I've been skating since 1985, and aside from a couple years in the military, never really took a break from it.
At 48 years old, with a slew of injuries, I can't do the kind of things I did in my 20s, but can sure hold my own on a mini ramp.
Am not
I'm pretty good at controlling my temper... does that count?

No magic bullet, it just takes years of practice and a jail sentence or two later before you realize some things are not worth getting cranky over.
Loading a vehicle or container for moving. I've had friends ask me to basically take over their move. And yeah, I may be a sucker for doing it, but I will save people hours and multiple trips while moving. I 3d tetris the hell out of a uhaul.
Height. I'm 6'6" on a good day. Top 99.897% in the world.
Reviving and programming REMBASS units. REmotely Monitored Battlefield Sensor System was a old ass piece of equipment when I was using it 20 years ago in the Army. You'd have to program different channels using another old ass piece of equipment. And very often they'd drop their fills, or not appreciate having a new, fully charged battery in it. It would frustrate people to no end because they'd spend hours trying to get it going, and then I'd stroll up talking all nice and pretty to the gear and shit would just work for me.
Welding probably. Especially oxy- acetylene and TiG
Trimming goat and sheep hooves
Kayaking, ive been doing it a year and a half and I've been on every white water course in the country
Fast driving - although I've never raced competitively I've done around 50 track days and I was normally one of the fastest on circuit wet and dry (whilst not having the fastest car).
Computer stuff - worked in IT my whole life although this one isn't for fun.
I'm very comfortable doing CPR
Anything computer related
Wasting my time Yo.
Asking intriguing questions that nobody thinks to ask.
Purely based on population I'm an exceptional climbing instructor.
