I'm great at spotting typos and awkward grammatical constructions. This is helpful in my work life but can make reading the local paper or signs in shops painful.
I am also great at remembering small details about people. I am very bad at remembering faces or being able to put a face to a name but if I get a name and an incidental detail I can usually remember the person. This is handy but I do have to rein it in because it comes off as a little creepy? And it's less useful at a remove because the intermediary person doesn't necessarily know which small detail my brain glomped on to about the person I met at her party.
