I Have a New Superpower!

All I have to do is put a DVD in my DVD player and press 'play,' and O'Hare will instantly reroute all incoming planes so that their flight paths go directly over my living room for the duration of the DVD I'm watching! It's amazing!

Awesome!!! I bet that comes in handy when you need to listen to lots of whispery dialogue. Does your TV volume even go up high enough to cover the jumbo jets? My superpower (going to the bathroom at a restaurant to ensure prompt arrival of hot food) is so well known that my friends thank me when I come back, freshly powdered, to find my food already growing cold and all of them halfway to dessert.

It does! It's also very handy for the climax of murder mysteries ('and the murderer is VROOOOOOMMMM').

I wouldn't torture my neighbors (I live in an apartment) by turning up the volume that high. I usually just hit pause until the engine noises die down. When it's really bad, like that time I was getting a plane every 2 minutes for an hour and a half, I turn on the closed captioning.
