what is your super power?

Mine is making people really really angry. It comes so naturally I don't even have to put effort into it anymore! I'm considering wearing a cape.

I'm Captain Sarcasm.

So good at it that people say they don't know if I'm kidding or if I'm serious.

If they would listen closely, they would get it. I'm trying to give them some insight into why they are pissing me off without coming out and saying "you're pissing me off."

mine is to calm down angry people when they're not being taken seriously

Self-control. In spite of extreme provocation, I have left no dead bodies behind during my life.

I've found the ability to interpret sarcasm to be so culturally bound, most of those who don't get it still wouldn't if they "listened closely."

My "super power" is the ability to understand mechanical devices at a glance, either in person or from schematics. This power is so natural to me that for years I thought everyone had this same ability, but then I started working at a job where a minimum basic mechanical understanding was a requirement and I found out that a large segment of the population just can't figure out how mechanical things work no matter how hard they try or how many examples they are shown.

I have an odd ability to be able to look at an entire page of text and pick out spelling errors, grammatical errors and poorly written sentences virtually instantly. Those things stand out as though they have flashing neon signs on them. My office mate in graduate school was always delighted in asking me to edit her papers because of this.
