I can peel a potato in such a way, that the peel stays in one long piece.

I'm going to steal this. It'll be a great follow up story of anybody asks me to prove it.

Tips for those who want to share in my skill:
- Chose a convex potato, with two almost but not entirely flat sides
- Start on a the flattest side an peel in a short line along it, turn 180 and spiral around the peeled section until you are done
- avoid sharp corners, they weaken the strip
- the first and last turns are unavoidably sharp and therefore the hardest
- the wider the strip is, the shorter in needs to be

So one of my company's HR people does an occasional welcome email listing our new hires. For every one of them she includes a fun fact. Some of them are alright, others are stuff like... "Fun fact about Steve: He has type 1 diabetes!"

I actually hate these. It's like a pissing competition to not say the same thing as the previous person and all it does is make me look like an asshole.

I had to do one of these in a university class and I never went to that class again. I never went to the first class in anything again. It strikes me as a social stratification exercise designed put you in your place and establish who the cool people are from the start.
Or maybe people have fun hobbies or interests, and sharing them in a short statement among a small group isn't a death sentence?
This is a social anxiety sub and standing up and being judged by 25 strangers is not sharing with a small group.
