Insulting? I think not.

I'm sure many of us are teased by our peers daily, over well - established social stigmata. Being too short, too tall, ginger haired fella, blonde haired girl, etc. etc.
Of course, most of us are quite proud of our trivial shortcomings (as you should be!), but is there anything you are ridiculed for that you consider practical, or at least, a good thing?

Despite the fact that I'm Irish I'm insanely lightweight, alchohal wise. A bottle and a half of any alchohalic substance (no matter the percentage) and I'm doing cartwheels up a stairs. Needless to say, my friends get a great laugh out of this - but I prefer it that way because:
1) I hate the taste of beer.
2) I don't need spend as much money on it.
3) No hangover!

Your turn, physically flawed members of the Escapist.

Well... I often get insulted about my long hair, I prefer it this way, in fact I tend to get headaches if it's cut short.
Plus it has the advcantage that my ears never feel cold.

I smoke bud and get high really easily which is great because

1. I hate having to go pick up
2. I don't need spend as much money on it.
3) No need to waste money on alcohol, (so no hangover!)

My Welsh Heritage gets a couple of sheep jokes now and then. But then I trump it with "Do you have a dragon on your flag?"

Same as the OP. I don't need very much of anything to alter my mind, which translates to useful savings on alcohol and THC.
Also, embarrassing as it is to be Hungarian, I am fluent in two languages, one of which is pretty darn unique.

Spoilered just in case

Two years ago everyone I knew thought I jerked with two hands.

It got to the point where people I met turned around and went "ohh, i know you, you're the guy that...".

Funny, and definately not a bad trait to have if you require both.

However, ten knuckle shuffle doesn't sound nearly as correct as a five knuckle shuffle.

I got kind of a reverse thing going on...

I'm nearly 6 and a half feet tall, which sounds impressive to most folks, but I HATE it. Fucking door frames, ceiling fans, cars built for normal people... are all the bane of my existence.

I'm 6'4" (Australian, don't know if I wrote that right) and my room is only 6'3". IT SUCKS.

As for alcohol I need a LOT to get drunk. Usually mix my own entirely spirit based. And if I so happen to drink say 2 straight bottles of vodka and pass out. I wake up EXACTLY 6 hours later without any trace of a hangover or even alcohol in my system. I FEEL FINE.
Costs a lot though.

Also I'm only 55 kg. For someone my height that's nothing.

That my friend, is pro thinking!

Erm..I'm pretty perfect actually but I guess I can say... I've had a long straight fringe over my eyes for a few years now and I get old ladies telling me how I should cut it off and look respectable, or people who clearly dont know me calling me emo and people who do know me calling me an emo anyway.
To which I reply, "Yer but nobody can tell if I'm looking at their breasts or not >=) "
Also I am immune to 'red eye' in holiday photographs.

Even though I'm.. cuddly? I'm not over weight, just not slim, my wrists and neck are quite slender, and it's easily taken advantage of by playful friends.

I'm fat.

Actually, that kind of sucks...

But I let it hinder me as little as possible, I just can't really enter any breakdance competitions and such.

I get mocked for being a redhead, but I actually kind of like it. I do color it sometimes though for variation :p

When people call you a nerd or a geek because you answered a question they were incapable of answering because they have a combined IQ of about 12.

Wow, that really is light, I'm that weight and I'm only 5'10", people often say that I'm underweight (which I'm not in my opinion)

OT: I'm also a lightweight for alcohol, which can only be a good thing.

But if you do, Youtube will love you forever.

I have some weird fetishes, so I just stick those into my short stories and get like twice as many comments on DA, not to mention special fetish sites. Yay, I guess.

Also, I have shitastic depth perception that makes it almost impossible to play sports with catching (most of them). Actually, I'm not sure how that has benefited me...

My folks often give me crap for my goatee. I think I look way more refined with it, so I always keep it.

I was actually considering shaving it one day, but that same day I met a girl who told me she really liked it, so theres no way in the name of Thor I'm shaving it now.

I feel your pain, I have to not look at something if I want to catch it.
