Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

Don't feel bad. Everyone gets distracted with a gun pointed at them.

Robber: "Why does it take so long to stuff money in the bag?" Bank employee: "Oh, that's what I was supposed to do."

yes and something to control the demon that makes me want to try it this way when I should not try anything new on the task.
