Memorised the Russian dialogue to the opening scenes in Red October. My mate and I used to use it pretend to be penpals and talk to each other in ‘Russian’ in nightclubs to impress the girls.

We got caught out once when an actual Russian girl overheard us and accused us of talking absolute bollocks, thought it was hilarious and we ended up at her place

Probably touch typing. The phonetic alphabet is sometimes useful, but hardly essential. The fact I memorised all the books of the Bible at school isn't much use really.....

I remember many student ID numbers each year, which is helpful but I have to remember new ones each year and forget the old ones

Right is for wiping and left is for flushing.

OK that's only because when I turn around the flush lever is on the left and the handwash dispenser is on the right.

I hate it when I get it the wrong way around. That's why I don't mind peeing in public bathrooms but pooping...oh no...
