    I have a bit of a mundane superpower. I have a higher than average propensity for streetlights to go out when I walk under them. Maybe it’s something that happens often and other people simply don’t notice it, but I’ve had several people say that it does seem to happen at an abnormally high rate with me when I’ve asked them about it.

      I have also felt like this my entire life. Rather than a superpower, I’ve always imagined that I’m haunted by some low-level evil spirit that only has power over street lamps.

      I think its common depending on the city. In university when I did a lot of walking at night with my friends, a streetlight would turn off at least every weekend. Now years later I’m living somewhere else I’m not walking around at night nearly as much but I do still notice it occasionally.
