Biting your tongue and other minor failings of the human body.

[PralineCookie]

Is it just me or is biting your tongue one of the most annoying things ever? That or biting the side of your mouth. There really should be some reflex that stops you from doing it.

Don't get me started on hiccups.

What minor things about the body irritate you?

Why periods ? They are so pointless- mist mammals do not have them or need them. I think it's us, bats and shrews ( may have to double check this).
At best they are inconvenient, at worst they are painful and debilitating.

So true Buzz

Also massive fail - blushing why?!

Teeth. Most people’s teeth just aren’t really acceptable without orthodontic treatment.

Farts. All good fun a lot of the time but distracting when you’ve got to hold one in.

Sore lips - does this happen to other species?

Stupid skin that burns in the sun - worst design ever!

Yes so annoying. Also biting the side of your mouth.

What is the point of hiccups? So annoying

I’ve also often felt it would be nicer for everyone if our reproductive organs weren’t in the same place as our excretory and defecatory organs.

Cramp. Bloody sodding cramp.

Childbirth, really

I mean, seriously?

Eczema

That feeling when you get an itch in the roof of your mouth and it's just not possible to scratch it

@thecanyon omg you are so right about that weird rib movement inner skin caught thing.

And now I'm thinking about it I can feel it going on even though I'm not moving. Aahhh, I hate that feeling so much

Having a period every month, why? Why can't we just come into season twice a year like most other mammals?

Getting an unbearable itch somewhere between your ear and jaw ON THE INSIDE. So you have to rub your ear while rubbing your tongue on the nearest bit of your mouth while making a sort of growling sound to make it stop. Grrr.

Chapped lips! Why the hell?

Restless legs as soon as you get into bed.

When you can go for weeks without being particularly aware of any itchy bits, but as soon as you go for a hypnotherapy session, you suddenly desperately need to scratch your face.

@AudacityOfHope no - what's worse is the itch inside your ear!

Eyebrow hair that grows in the middle.
Just no.

I have a slight overbite and sometimes when I sneeze I catch my top teeth on my bottom teeth and it bloody well hurts

Also, considering that we grow new cells all the time, it seems odd that we can have visible scars and stretch marks. Surely they should grow back 'new'? Do we grow new cells but still in scars? That seems like a mega design fault

The rumble of the tummy that never occurs day to day until you are in a quiet room full of people

I hear you about tongue-biting.

Plus, there's this muscle in my back right now that has decided it wants a little work-out all on its own. Little bugger's been twitching and bothering for about half an hour.

Whhhhhyyyy? What have I ever done to it?

Why does our hair have to run out of colour?

Why do we need sleep? Think what could be achieved if we didn’t need to spend a third of the day laying on a big square cushion in a dark room 🤔

Yes to periods and that inner ear itch but also why when you hurt something can you not stop touching it?! I’ve a snag on a nail bed and I can’t stop touching it so it stays sore and will be full of germs! Sunburn, sprained ankle, cold sore. I can’t stop poking it!

Shin bone injuries. So disproportionately sore for the level of impact. And conversely the bruise matches the level of the bang, not the pain level so you don't even get that as a reward for the suffering.

Eye twitches that, the moment you ask if someone else can see them, stop and then restart when the other person's not looking!

Blisters on feet. Just let me wear any shoes i want painlessly.

Cramp!
