    I’ll leave it to you to decide where the “mundane” boundary lies.

    For me, it would be a toss-up between the following:

    1. The ability to induce my 4-year-old to enthusiastically eat any foodstuff placed in front of her.

    2. Produce multiple independent copies of myself. Not to take over the world or anything, just to help out with housework, DIY jobs’n’stuff.

    3. Tele-farting – The ability to have every fart I produce disappear into a mini-wormhole and emerge immediately beneath the nose of the person of my choosing, anywhere in the world.

    When I wake up in the morning, overnight my internal organs have created the perfect conditions so that I can do a continuously toned, rasping fart that can last up to ten seconds.

    Think of the sound of someone slowly tearing a heavy velvet curtain. Its like that.

    I already have it; I am Volumeman. With a single glance, I can identify the perfect size of plastic container to hold and freeze the leftover portion of whatever has been cooked for tonight’s dinner. Pasta, pasta sauce, curry, risotto, casserole, anything.

    Cower before me, mortals.

    1. I’d like to have the ability to sense accurate delivery information, knowing the exact time the delivery will arrive within its 7am to 9pm window.
    Would also be good to sense it when considering ordering, so I could order something knowing if it would arrive in time!

    2. Other option is “The Teflon MTBer”, mud/dirt doesn’t stick to me or the bike, no cleaning required!

    The ability to do tedious, menial tasks and not notice – like put your body and mind into autohelm mode and have a little living room with a sofa and TV screen inside your head you can retreat into whilst the work gets done and a little alarm goes off to tell you when its safe to come back out. The amount of time I spend procrastinating to avoid tedious, menial tasks is stupendous – I’d be the most productive bloke ever!

    I’d like telepathic anti-pedantry powers. As soon as someone descends in to full pedantic mode, I could control their mind and stop them.
    If that didn’t work I’d use my telekinetic power like in Scanners

    I’d like to have a the power of minor mechanical retribution. So that if somebody pisses me off on the road I could make a small breakdown occur that will make their journey intolerable:
    Seat heater to maximum on hottest day
    SatNav shuts down or
    SatNav won’t shut up and volume is turned up to maximum
    Radio keeps switching channel, and random volume changes
    One windscreen wiper stick half way
    Windscreen wash bottle turns stagnant
    … and such like… 👿

    For me it’s a toss up between: –

    Workplace Politician Nullifier – makes every place of employment free from the kind of politics only the truly incompetent enjoy and employ. They keep trying though and are trapped in an enendless hell when their scheming has no impact or effect on anyone.

    Crash Bubble. Puts me in a totally safe and invisible, sphere where I cannot be harmed from any crash.
