What’s a weird/unusual but ultimately pointless, mundane fact about yourself?

Mine is that I always end up sleeping with my head at the foot of the bed. Don’t know how I end up there or why I do it. Partner never notices me performing backflips either!

@ClumpingBambooIsALie

catfunk Female, why?

@ClumpingBambooIsALie don't know just wondering ! Suppose it would be less obvious on a hairy man. That's fascinating! Do you shoe everyone ? I'd tell everyone I met Smile

My extra nipples only get an airing on very special occasions.

@baabiee

I sneeze at least 10 times in a row, sometimes more but never less.
DH always sneezes 3 times. I’ve told him it’s lucky.

I can write with both feet, I suspect everyone can but was never drunk enough or bored enough to try Blush

It’s the writing of a 4/5 year old just learning, but it’s legible.

I can wriggle my ears.

I desperately need to get a life 😂😂

And the hair patches get plucked. They're on the milkline, partway down my torso, so better if they're not there really.

HeidiHoNeighbour · 23/08/2021 23:49

I don’t have a gag reflex or any reflex in my left leg.

CounsellorTroi · 23/08/2021 23:51

I can’t do the Vulcan hand sign. My fingers seem to wired up wrong.

BrownEyedSquirrel · 23/08/2021 23:52

I have never (not once) sneezed more than twice in a row.

SingingSands · 23/08/2021 23:55

I can wiggle my ears - independently and together.

PricklesTheHedgehog · 23/08/2021 23:56

I can ride a horse bareback

@Galassia

I have mucus eye fishing which I have no intention of ever getting rid of.

My eyes look perfectly normal but if I pull down the bottom of my eye and swipe my finger I can pull out a small string of mucus.

A short time later I can then pull out a long string of mucus like a magician pulling bunting out of a top hat and it is extremely satisfying to watch in a x20 magnified mirror!

🤤 I love you.

I put immac on my underarm hair when I was about 12 years old and it never grew back! Can't say the same for other areas
fucking chin

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 24/08/2021 00:05

@Galassia marry me. Or at least post on Sporners Corner Grin😂

NotaCoolMum · 24/08/2021 00:08

@lborgia

I don't have any tonsils, and never have.
I had my tonsils removed at 18. At 42 they started growing back.

@Susannahmoody

Had emergency appendix removal during scheduled c section
That's actually pretty bloody impressive.
NoNameNoOne · 24/08/2021 00:12

I have a retroverted uterus

Cocolapew · 24/08/2021 00:17

When I hiccup it's always 6 hiccups, never any less or any more.
Every time I talk to my mum on the phone I need to do a poo Confused

Pbbananabagel · 24/08/2021 00:20

I sneeze when I eat mints, every single time.

Hen2018 · 24/08/2021 00:26

I have a retroverted uterus.

I only have about 4 armpit hairs on each side.

I broke my arm so weirdly that a surgeon asked his friend (another surgeon!) in to have a look as well and the injury I had has no name. It’s also too difficult for any surgeon to repair. I have 20% of the movement I should have in that arm yet it doesn’t seem noticeable to me.

Downtherefordancing · 24/08/2021 00:30

I was born with 6 fingers on each hand. Think I’d have been burnt at the stake 200 years ago for being a witch 😊

Fontella · 24/08/2021 00:33

I have never grown any underarm hair.

Not even a couple of strands or a bit of fluff. Completely bald armpits.

I have normal hair elsewhere on my body. I'm not very hirsute, but I do shave my legs occasionally.

But I've never grown so much as a single armpit hair.

Thewiseoneincognito · 24/08/2021 00:45

I’m a pretty darn good singer / dancer even if I say so myself and wish I had pursued this in my youth. We’re not talking pub singer either, I shoulda coulda woulda been a star. 🥺

Lily019 · 24/08/2021 00:49

I have a 'bendy' arm thanks to an emergency operation at age 7. I had shattered my arm in a fall so badly, it was due to be amputated but got saved by a visiting surgeon at our local hospital. It looks like a boomerang and my hand and fingers on my left dont seem to be connected to my brain so as a result my typing is shit and for some reason is way stronger than my right. Good for reaching really awkward places though, under the bed, round weird corners etc..
Also, weirdly psychic, but can't actually prove it which is really annoying.

ZednotZee · 24/08/2021 00:49

My wrist measures 5.25 inches yetis 5'9.

I have ridiculous proportion hence why I couldn't give birth naturally despite my relative height.

All explained to me by a very concerned obstetrician who said 'oh you are most peculiar Zed!' In the operating theatre Hmm

Thanks mate..

ZednotZee · 24/08/2021 00:50

yet I am

Longdistance · 24/08/2021 01:00

I cough up a hard sticky phlegm from my chest every few days. It’s hard and like glue. I am asthmatic, so I’m sure it’s a build up on my chest.
I have two metal plates an 19 screws in my right leg. I can see some of the screws on the outside of my leg. Hard lumps, like screw heads.
My db has an extra (spare) rib on his right side, it’s on a lower rib.
