This is a question Hidden talents

Roger Boyes tells us: "I was once coaxed up on stage and did ten minutes of off-the-cuff stand-up comedy. Amazingly, I brought the house down. A few weeks later, having rehearsed like hell, I went back to the same stage and got hardly a titter. Well, sod that." Have you ever amazed yourself with hidden talents?

I'm pretty good with puzzling out maps, new locations, and the like
I hardly ever need to ask directions. All was well until I visited Australia. Apparently I rely a lot on the location of the sun, but the sun is in the northern sky there. "Why do we keep driving south?" I asked my host. "We are driving west," he replied. I nearly got stranded overnight in the boonies because the eucalyptus looked the same in all directions.

I'm pretty good with cooking
the last time I made pasta I accidently cut-off three of my own fingers and used salt instead of gnocchi

I'm pretty good at sex.
I hardly ever need to ask for instructions. This one time I was with a super model and I'm like "awww yeah you like it like that don't you?" and the bus conductor was like "I just need to see a valid ticket and your Under 16 student card".

Lies!
I'm sure bus conductors became a thing of the past way before the term 'super model' came about.

Did you find yourself in some parallel dimension, where the sun doesn't rise in the east and set in the west?

Near solstice, the sun skates along the horizon
It's all about disguising east and west from the visitor.

Given that I'm extremely poorly traveled,
and unmotivated to research this further, I'm going to take your word for this.
