I'm really rather good at the 'acidic reply/put-down'.
No idea where they come from - i even surprise me self sometimes.
And driving - i love it - i will drive anything and have no fear in the heaviest traffic.
In fact i love a traffic jam and sparring for position ... in a polite way.
Everything! I'm an uncrowned genius, you know! 
batting a tennis ball on a raquet for ages
and measuring things like for decorating/curtains
and cleaning things...i love cleaning things
errr

I have a fantastic memory. I remember right back to my childhood all sorts of really random stuff. When I recall someone telling me something or simply saying it I actually see it in my head - where we were how we were sitting etc.
When I was at uni Nd I needed to reference a quote from a book I could usually remeber if it was a right or left hand page and approximately where on the page it was. At the time it was invaluable .

Sleeping. Soon as it's declared an Olympic sport - I'm in there!

Knocking things over.
I have awkward thumbs 
I'm really good at fiddly things like unravelling fairylights or lots of cable, I can fix zips too and undo knots. I also used to drive anything up to 7 tonne.

I love untangling things too. Really don't know why cos I'm not either very patient or nimble fingered but ...............give me a knotted necklace and I'm in my element. The feeling of accomplishment when it's all unravelled .................BRILLIANT!
I was always good at gymnastic type exercise and still put some of the younger lads to shame on some exercises! I'm also a world-champ at procrastination.

Neither am I. How weird. I forgot about necklaces, any knots, I'm your woman. 
I could of/ave/have mended all the white goods that a certain FM keeps breaking. No names, no pack drill. Etc.
Wall papering !!!
Hate doing it but i can do it quite well - hmmm
Thinking.

I'm thinking.......I must be good at some things but nothing sticks out enough to mention

I have a great memory for silly things on one hand, but then forget big things on the other. For example, Mr C hates it that I can remember entire conversations from 10 years ago, where we were, what we were eating etc etc. But then I get my grandsons birthday wrong?
As for the other things I am good at, I really couldn't say on a family friendly forum.

I used to be on the gymnastic team at my Primary school. I wasn't the best on the team, because the others could all do the splits, I could never do them as far as getting my fanny on the floor, it always hovered an inch or so above.

I know what I'm good at. I'm good at watching shopping channels. One in particular 
Although I don't buy a lot. They just fascinate me 
I have an awful memory when it comes to doing things. My OH will say 'will you put the washing in the drier when it's done?' I'll say yep, he'll get back from work and the first thing I hear from the kitchen is 'you forgot to put the effing washing in the drier' errrr....yep, terrible at remember things like that but pretty good at remembering telephone numbers (I know every phone number I've ever had since I was 6) and also playing memory games but for some reason I forget to do simple things.
