My knack of saying things without thinking.
Example of this at placement: Last week at my hospital placement, me and my mentor were told a woman with a BMI of 50 was coming in for a C-Section and she was going to have a spinal anaesthetic. Me, without thinking, said 'Okay, so do you actually want to bother with a spinal needle or shall I go fetch my harpoon?' - I could have been in A LOT of trouble for that remark if my mentor and the anaesthetist didn't have a sense of humour.
Example in public: Tends to be stupid things like yelling 'You're fucking welcome!' when I hold a door for someone who can't be bothered to say 'Thank you' 'Cheers' or at least some damn acknowledgement.
But there is one in particular I'm pretty ashamed of, some woman (with her gaggle of 5 little fuckers) was yelling at a bus driver for making her pay for one of her kids who she admitted was above the 'kids ride free' age. Everyone on the bus was now running late and getting annoyed at this stupid woman, she then yelled 'YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO RAISE 5 KIDS ON MY BUDGET' to which I sat there and yelled 'Spend less fucking time with your legs open or start using contraception, your budget really isn't my fucking problem'.
That 'ability' has landed me in hot water on plenty of occasions and it's probably something I should try and change.
