What about pipetting urine samples for drug analysis in really fast pace...
Or getting action potential data from house crickets antenna using electric probes... Insects use their antenna to smell and it is actually kinda cool
 
This thread reminded me that I used to hand craft chainmail armor in high school. Believe me, that was quite bit of manual dexterity. Each ring had to be shaped by hand. Oh well, too late to put it on my application now.

I never realized that we could put such crazy stuff on the manual dexterity section. I think the most unique thing I put was that I build and maintain track bikes.
 
Use chopsticks. LIKE A BAWWSSSSS.

I sewed a quilt. They actually thought it was interesting and brought it up in one of my interviews.
 
I decorate cakes...like Ace of Cakes/Cake Boss style (ok well not THAT extravagant, but you get the idea).

Would it be bad for me to bring in pictures of cakes I've decorated? I don't want them to think I just plop on some Pillsbury frosting.
 
I can spin plates, textbooks, folders, towels, t-shirts, laptops, xbox360s, ps3s, pots, pans, and many other random things on my finger, (not all at the same time of course).
 
I said building and flying my nitro RC planes. It's art that I can play with! Nothing better than hanging out with 50 year olds on the weekend lol.
