Body Quirks

[F-I-D-O]

My left eye sometimes spazzes a little. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it's really weird.

This, except on both
I can make my body temperature raise/lower a few degrees by concentrating
My right earlobe extends farther down than my left and bulges at the end, but only by a little bit.

Whenever I'm around someone who's in pain for more than ~90 seconds, I begin to feel a very similar pain in whatever region of their body is afflicted. It didn't get really weird until I was able to tell the game store cashier where he was in pain, what kind of pain he was in, and how he could fix it.

And I can do this. It be weird.

One of the guys I've had some classes with on campus sneezes when exposed to sudden bright lights [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_sneeze_reflex].

I have that. Stupid sun shouldn't be so bright.

Yeah, thats not as fun as it sounds... trust me...

OT: My right knee will occasionally dislocate at random times...

Although mostly I find that it's when I'm walking...
Down stairs...
Carrying hot soup...

Also! I can throw up on command...
Very useful for getting out of school...

 

[Pedgeth]

I have Achoo syndrome, my left thumb will bend as far backwards as it will forwards and my right leg is an inch shorter than my left, to the point where I have difficulty walking and I can barely run or climb stairs

 

[Nieroshai]

I'm both significantly muscular and mildly fat, which when combined with my short stature makes people think I'm really fat. I'm only wide from the side because of my gut, but thick muscular legs and arms look like fat if you have a gut and never wear shorts or tees.

 

[Levi93]

I can dislocate and relocate my shoulders at will without any pain.

 

[Ickorus]

I can do this:


I don't need to use my finger to push it back though, I can just do it.

Both thumbs too.

Ha! I do that, its always three sneezes in quick succession...
Very annoying

Yay empathetic pain! I seem to do the same thing - kind of a crap super-power, really.

Sure, it's a crappy power in everyday life...but theoretically, it would make you immune to torture, able to exploit weaknesses in enemy combatants, and allow you to continue living unfazed until you physically cannot substain yourself any more. Kind of like a honey badger.

 

[hyzaku]

When extending my thumbs (like for a thumbs up) my left thumb curves while my right thumb is straight. Also I can't curl my little finger without curling my ring finger as well on either hand. Oh and my shoulders are double-jointed.

 

[Hoopybees]

On my left foot only, when I wiggle my big toe my middle toe wiggles too. I have no control over this.

I'm pretty sure that wiki article is a joke, and this happens to everybody.

Also, I can hear and feel clicking in both my ears, whenever I walk or run, it's actually really unpleasant.

My brother's feet click when he walks.

 

[Simmo8591]

I've got a metal slug in my knee after my bone got chipped during a rugby match, it occasionally pops for a second and floors me if my weight is on that leg.

Also my right pointer finger got badly broken and now slants right quite a bit at the tip

 

[Dags90]

Also, I can hear and feel clicking in both by ears, whenever I walk or run, it's actually really unpleasant.

My brother's feet click when he walks.

It doesn't happen to me and the sneezing thing I've seen it in other places (textbooks). Are you and your brother part dolphin? That would be so cool.

Er... No. Poster feels other people's pain. IE - unless his torturer has the same condition, which is an almighty coincidence, then the poster will still feel it.

It would make him easier to torture, in fact. You can just take him to a hospital and hang around.

Say, for example, you're tied to a chair by mobsters. If you say, managed to kick one of them in the balls before they got to work on you and then exerted sufficient focus and willpower, you'd have a stinging pain in your scrotum without the agony of being dismantled by a baseball bat.

But that's just speculation, based on my experience with such happenings.

EDIT: The hospital thing was a stroke of sadistic brilliance, though. Nice one.

We are very good swimmers and my mum used to joke that she wasn't sure we were hers. I wonder, if I shave my head, will I find a blow-hole?

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Every time a rub my nose, I sneeze.

Ha. I wonder if they ever successfully convinced someone that the acronym was just a coincidence!

Haha, that's awesome.

I don't really have any 'quirks' as such, but i do have clicky shoulders and proportionately small feet.
