Third nipple, atypically wide feet (due to which all my outer toes are bent slightly inwards), my normal face can look like I'm constantly scowling due to the amount of eyebrow raising I've done over the years, I can wiggle my ears and make practically any joint in my body make a nauseating crack. The looks on people's faces when they hear me crack my neck or fingers are priceless.
I'm very double jointed in my arms. I can put an arm behind me neck and scratch the other side of my chest without any discomfort. I usually use my arm as a pillow, its great when your somewhere uncomfortable and you still want to lay down. Portable pillow : 3. I used to be able to put my legs behind my head. I still can but its painful so I can't for very long. I can do the star trek hand thing on both hands. I can make one of my eye lids twitch rapidly while keeping the other one mostly just completely normal. Really freaks people out which I love, same with the arm thing I scare my aunts so bad with it lol.
Well I have this weird lumpy patch of skin on the lower left corner of my back that has been with me ever since I was a baby. The doctors said it was nothing to worry about. I sometimes forget that it's there most of the time.
my hands are unusually warm, the skin on the soles of my feet is bizzarely thick, and I can click my tongue with enough force that it can temporarily deafen people if I do it near their ears, that's it, no other wierdness or interesting things other than the ability to melt ice with my hands slightly faster than other people, not wear shoes, and make a loud noise. woo.
Only thing that is coming to mind involves the long toe (second toe) on both my feet. They are strangely skinny then get fat at the very end. They look strange but have never caused any problems. Whatever it is, I reckon it's genetic. While my father and brother don't have this, my nephew does. I've not met anyone else toes like this.
I also... Am a zombie. A long while ago in my first year of High School I got bit on the ankle by a bunch of fire ants. Blisters formed of course, being an idiot I decided to just pop them and use ointmint. I figured they would pop anyways and just wanted the discomfort over with. Turns out popping one of them caused an angry... Welt, I guess? Appropritately enough it looked like a burn. So that had to heal up for a good while... And then I also nicked it while shaving my legs. When it finally healed proper I was left with a little slightly dark spot on my ankle, if you press on it it sinks, like there isn't any flesh there. So thus... I am a zombie.
OT: My adult canine teeth came is nubby, and sharp. They said there was a term for it, but I can't remember, but anyways I got them capped so it's basically fixed. My right wrist cracks really loud when I move it, and I have really dark circles under my eyes all the time, regardless of how much sleep I get.
So I guess I'm a zombie in the sense that I look like a diabetic insomniac.
My knees make a soft grinding sound if I put significant amounts of weight on them when bent. It doesn't hurt or anything, but the noise is a bit freaky. Doctor says it's harmless.
A friend of mine went TOTALLY grey at 25 thanks to his dad's genes.
I'm pretty unremarkable; however I'm 6"3' and solid, with size 14 feet but small hands (attached to thick wrists), which I find weird. Got my, much shorter, dad's stubby fingers.
My lower left ribs are weird. The bottom 2 are fused together and jut out at a weird angle, which tends to freak people out the first time they see it. It's genetic, and my dad, my dad's siblings, and my brother all have it. It doesn't hurt or impede functioning at all, it just looks really odd.
My bones seem to be incapable of breaking. I mean, I've been in situations that should have resulted in a broken bone, and I've gone in for X-Rays for 3 injuries over the course of a year, but nope, just some nasty sprains. Either I'm just lucky, or I have surprisingly resilient bones.
My right thumb is hypermobile to the point of being able to pop it out of it's joint partially.
When I stretch out I have to watch it with my knees because I have a habit of hyper extending them and my ankles without trying(which apparently also grosses people out?)
I'm slightly hypermobile in my shoulders so if my hands are bound in some way behind my back I can get them to my front.
I can crack various parts of my body on command most of the time.
I'm slightly ambidextrous (I don't trust my left hand with sharp things yet but just about everything else I can do both right and left handed).
My left arm is the only part of my body that will hold a tan and that's only because I hang it out the window when I drive.
My lungs hate me and don't like me to breathe so I have asthma from it.....
If I don't shower daily, you can tell by how unwashed my hair looks(and I mean daily by a 24 hour period of time). My hair gets oily quick. And my face is excessively oily causing me to break out in zits and blackheads especially during the summer months.
Also, my pH balance is sensitive enough that if I wear any kind of knickers/underwear/pants (whatever your country/region calls them) I get infections. Especially during the summer. I can pull off wearing them for one day a month. Any more than that and it's not good. And sometimes too many changes in temperature will set it off too
I sweat more than most of my guy friends and 90% of deodorant doesn't work for me. And the only kind that does is the stick type deodorant.
I get easily dehydrated and really have to watch my fluid intake.
I can't wear white clothing when it's hot out. The darker my clothing the cooler I am. The lighter(whiter) my clothing the more easily I'll get over heated. I don't understand it either but it's what happens.
My right knee will randomly give out and has been doing this since 2006. To date, X-Rays still show nothing wrong with it. I haven't had a recent MRI yet(but I'm bugging my dr about it because I want to know what the fuck is wrong with it) but the last one I had showed nothing wrong with my knee so most doctors are convinced it's all in my head. Because y'know I WANT to not be able to walk upstairs. Or to have a point where I just can't walk anymore and collapse on the ground. Cause it's not like that hurts or anything.
I have a high enough stress level that the muscles in my back constantly push my spine out of place and 10 minutes after I get it adjusted from a chiropractor it's back to not being adjusted. Even if I've just seen a massage therapist. And I don't know how to not be stressed or make the muscles exist in a state of relaxation long enough.
I can unwrap starbursts with my tongue and tie cherry stems into knots with my tongue.
My legs, unless they get wet, will not burn and I have gone an entire year of being outside in shorts without them getting any colour and being almost the same colour as my white socks.
My body heals up really quick when it comes to piercings or taking out piercings. I had to take one of mine out recently because my body was rejecting it and it healed up almost completely in less than a month. Which is a process that's suppose to take 2-3 months.
I don't feel pain on the same level as everyone else. And most of the time if I don't see an injury, it doesn't hurt until I look at it. Even then it will hurt for maybe a minute and then go back to not hurting.
No you don't. Hypermobility and double jointedness is not something you want. Trust me. (also unless you actually have two joints in one place it's hyper mobile not double jointed)
And my hair was almost white blonde as a child. It's a light brown/dirty blonde colour now when I let the colour grow out of it and don't re-dye my hair. My roots were always brown as were my eyebrows leading many people to assume my hair was dyed as a child yet I didn't start dying it until I was almost 20. I have also naturally always had black, brown, and red mixed in with my blonde hair and as a result can dye my hair almost any colour and have it look completely natural (including purple). My blonde hair was problematic growing up and still kind of is. Growing up it was because adult women would stop me(this was when I was a teenager) and harass me to give me the name of my colourist because my hair was so pretty and then they'd get vicious when I told them it was just genetics. The secondary problem that I still have to deal with when my hair is blonde is people assuming that I'm stupid and don't know what I'm talking about and patronising me. As a result I tend to keep my hair dark so that when I have conversations people don't pat my head and tell me "it's alright I know I'm using big words and you don't understand what's going on" or some variance of that because even with the piercings in my face and stuff blonde hair on me makes me look like a child.
Speaking of looking young, I constantly get told that I don't look my age (I'll be 30 in January). And get told how lucky I am. Except I'm not as I've gotten into arguments with bartenders over if I've stolen my id or faked it because I don't look over 21. Until I cut my hair. Then apparently I went from looking like I was 13 to 21. It's frustrating as hell.
Get me on audio either on youtube or a VOIP program or on the phone and I sound like a child. But in person I sound like an adult. And when I say child I mean between the ages of 5 and 10.
And I can contort my body into positions I technically shouldn't be able to do and hold them for quite a long time.
I can control my breathing enough to make it look like I'm not real and without use of a sports bra or a binder I can make it look like I don't have boobs.
And I think that's it.
Oh and my middle toe is longer than my big toe and I can use my feet almost like a second pair of hands for some things.
If I don't shower daily, you can tell by how unwashed my hair looks(and I mean daily by a 24 hour period of time). My hair gets oily quick. And my face is excessively oily causing me to break out in zits and blackheads especially during the summer months.
Nothing really bad though a slight niggle, I have a bent and groved top to my left ear which I have no idea how I got because both ears were once well rounded, the only thing I can think of is I slept on it badly an entire night and it lost it's shape. Not much of a problem except when a symmetry OCD kicks in when I look in a mirror after watching Death the Kid.
This is the most irrelevant thing ever but.... I WANT THAT OKAMI DOGE SHIRT SO BAD!!! Where'd you get it?
I can independently move my right eye which makes for a cool party trick. My right shoulder is also always a tiny bit higher than my left for some reason, had to go in for x-rays once and annoyed the living tarp out of the radiographer who for some reason wanted them horizontally even, that was fun.

In the middle of my ribcage I've got this teeny little dip which if you poke you can feel a little bone nub. It's weird. When I was younger and really skinny you could see it damn easily too.
Also I don't know if it's specifically what you mean but having some mild tourette's syndrome sort of qualifies I guess? Nothing physical or immediately visible but if I don't focus I end up making some odd mouth noises and minor facial twitches. Luckily I can reign it in when I'm around people.
You all are going to think I'm lying out my ass when reading this list...
- I'm pretty tall, about half-inch shy of 6'. Shoe shopping is damn impossible since my feet are women's size 12 or 13.
- If I stretch my arms out and you measure fingertip to fingertip, my arm span is 6'8". Yeah, I'm built like a monkey.
- My stretched-out hand, measured from pinky tip to thumb tip, is 9.5". That's bigger than any guy I ever dated.
- Similarly, measuring from my wrist to the top of my middle finger, is 8".
- I have a 15-key reach on a grand piano and 9-fret low-e to high-e reach on a Fender Strat.
- My arms are double-jointed, so I can contort them all around my body. If I wrap my arms around myself (like a hug) I can touch my fingers behind my back.
- Like someone before me in this thread, I'm a supertaster
- I have the bones for 12 toes, but you can only see 10 from the outside. The extra toes are inside my feet and run perpendicular to the underside of the rest of my bones, meaning that I balance entirely on a heel and three often-bruised bones. That makes me more wobbly than most people.
- I have 13 nipples. Yes, you read that correctly. No, I'm not posting pics. Apparently, extra nipples are somewhat more common among those of us born in central-U.S. farm country like I was.
- Except for my back, every joint in my body cracks almost every time I move them. That's been going on my entire life. Both sides of my jaw crack every time I open my mouth, even to chew. I HATE when people cringe and make ongoing comments about it, because I'd stop it if I could. Fuckwits.
- Pay no attention to my avatar picture, I'm a natural redhead. I have red hair and blue eyes, both on the rare end of the spectrum
- Speaking of rare, I'm left-handed (only about 10-15% of the population), female (only about 10% of lefties), and both of my parents are right-handed (only about 2% of lefties have two righty parents).
- My brain doesn't process color correctly. Specifically, it doesn't re-organize the color spectrum into a single focal point, and so I can't see more than one color clearly at a time. For cooler colors (blue, purple, dark greens, etc.) I'm nearsighted to about -2.00. On the other end (red, yellow, orange, white) I'm farsighted at nearly +4.00. This means I have six different pairs of glasses for different shades of ambient lighting. Yet I'm still half blind all the time!
- My voice is incredibly flexible... I scare the shit out of people with my Barney impression.
------------------------------
Like I said, you must all think I'm full of shit now. lol
Well, tall women aren't THAT uncommon... are they? My perception my be skewed from living in a large city all my life (I've met someone from multiple countries in every continent save Africa and most Pacific Islands, but I know they're here). Also, do you mean Neil Patrick Harris's Barney or Barney the purple unspecifiedosaurus? Either way you could probably make a pretty penny if you got a foothold in the VA business.
Anyway, as for my own physical quirks:
The outward-facing portion of my forearms, the back of my hands, and, to a lesser extent, my knees (which doesn't make much sense to me) are all markedly darker than the rest of my skin, so it always looks like I'm unevenly tanned unless I even it up in the summer months. (this is somewhat less remarkable when I mention my parents are, for want of a better term, white and black, respectively)
I can crack most of my joints (save elbws/knees) audibly. Unfortunately this does absolutely nothing to help if most of them ever feel stiff (fingers exempt of course).
My eyebrows look like they were rubbed raw on the outer end and almost no hair grows there. I still have no idea why this happened or when exactly, but as of today they can't really be called eyebrows past about the horizontal midpoint of my eye sockets. Also I learned today that the left one is even shorter than the right and I can't un-see it!
If I pull my hair back into a ponytail high on my head I look surprisingly like Joakim Noah (basketball player for the Chicago Bulls). If I could grow a goatee I could probably pull off a decent costume of him. Sadly my facial hair stops at my upper lip and underneath my chin, so all I can grow is 'chops and/or a neckbeard

Ah! Very much like TheYetee I see, but awesome thanks!! I see they've got an absolutely rocking One Piece shirt today which I might buy, so that's cool. Thanks again man.
