Commuting special super powers

Being a commuter has given me special skills like ...
The ability to never wear the right clothes for the conditions
A sixth sense type ability for train timetables
A bottomless pit for a stomach - seriously people stare when witnessing an itboffin feeding frenzy
Complete disregard for looks & comments on what I'm wearing
But my favourite has to be ...
The ability to balance a dozen items such as food, drink, wallet, book, phone, keys on those tiny dropdown train seat trays.
Am I some kind of super hero, well yes!

Hope you don't mind me asking... how far is your commute to need recovery drink? I'm intrigued rather than dubious0 -
...20 rather hilly miles each way......all the way...'til the wheels fall off and burn...0
