It's annoying when people are talented or even competent and take it for granted. My wife is a very good singer and doesn't seem to realize how lucky I think she is. She is also pretty innately musical but doesn't really do much with it. I remember when my boys were little, they had a toy guitar that had an electric keyboard for the frets. My wife would just sit down and play random songs on it for them, usually perfectly the first time. I asked her once how she knew to do that and she just looked at me blankly and said "I just played the notes?".
I played in band from 6th grade through jr year of high school and was a decent sax player. I can read music (or could then anyway) but never had that innate talent and am insanely jealous of those that do.
