Poll: Knuckle Cracking *CLick*

[Darth Pope]

Guilty as charged. I can pop my fingers in three places, my neck, my back, my knees, and even my toes if I'm so inclined.

 

[RobotNinja]

Yes, but I'm trying to stop. Its like a drug addiction.

 

[TraumaHound]

I can crack my knuckles, toes, neck and back (when lucky) and do so all the time.

At this year's PAX during the first Penny Arcade panel one of the questioners asked if the room would crack their knuckles in unison. We did. It was awesome.

 

[cheese_wizington]

I can crack my back, neck, wrists, ankles, jaw, fingers in three different places, thumbs, knees, shoulders, and my EAR. Yes; I can crack my fucking ear.

 

[Syntax Error]

Neck, wrist and fingers. And spine, on occasion.

 

[Mstrswrd]

I crack everything, all the time. My knuckles, my knuckles again in a different way, my wrists, my elbows, my shoulders, my back/spine, my neck in different ways, my ankles, my knees (painful as all hell), my hips pop ocassionally, my toes, my jaw, I used to be able to crack my nose because I had damaged it (it finally healed and now I can't), my ribs seem to pop sometimes (it could just be my imagination, but I doubt it), my thigh bone's has to be strech-cracked every hour or so so I can continue to be able to move, and more I can;t think of.

Also, when I wake up, my cracks are so loud I actually woke up the person in the room next to me once. I muffle my morning cracks with pillows now.

I crack my knuckles all the time, along with my neck, back, knees, toes, jaw, wrists, and the joint between my thumb and index finger. A lot of my joints crack on their own when I stand up. It makes me feel old.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

meh.

 

[twistedshadows]

I do it all the time, and not just my knuckles. It's mostly unconscious.

 

[Noamuth]

I crack my knuckles every day. Sometimes because I'm frustrated/bored, but most of the time, I have to do it because they just start to feel stiff.

99% of the time, it feels damn good.

My girlfriend cracks her neck and back a lot, so she doesn't complain about my knuckles so much. It's when my wrists click and grind that it creeps her (and sometimes me) out.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

My borther once helped my crack my thumb, and since that day i can now dislocate my thumb... it hurt as hell when it happened tho, but now its like second nature to dislocate my thumb... and im always cracking my fingers and just recently, ive started cracking my neck... probably not good for me, but o'wel

 

[Crusnik]

Hmm. I can crack my my neck, knuckles (excluding my left pinky middle knuckle), wrists, elbows, back, knees, ankles, and knuckles in my feet.

 

[Scarecrow38]

I don't have any emotional objections one way or the other. That said, things cracking is normally a bad thing so I don't do it. It's just something I never think about.

 

[Unholykrumpet]

I could add two more layers of finger popping to that youtube video...so yeah, I crack all the time. I've had people scream before when I cracked my back. It's great fun.

 

[SebZero]

I crack my fingers all the time. It's alright, but when I crack my neck, wrists, knees, and ankles it just feels so much more satisfying.

Cracking my jaw though... I always do it accidentally, and I just find it unpleasant.

 

[jboking]

I can make the cracking sound with both my knuckles and neck. It's nothing special, but it comes in handy for throwing off your opponent in a debate round.

Them-"The health care system in France is..."
CRACK
*speaker cringes*
me-"Oh, I'm sorry, is that distracting?"

 

[Herb sewell]

I crack my knuckles and my neck and my spine and my toes and my jaw.

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

I can crack two of the joints in all my fingers, other than thumbs. It's an awful habit apparently but right before I play guitar, I like to crack my knuckles; I feel like it gets the lead out of my hands.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

I crack my back more than anything else.
I wish I was cool enough to be able to crack my knuckles.
Only ones I can crack are my second thumb joints, clear proof I'm a gamer.

And my hips pop sometimes, not out of place thank goodness, but they crack.
Proof I'm getting old. :[

Also, I have TMJD, so my jaw pops. Though now that I think about it, it's kinda gone away.

 

[Clashero]

I crack my back after sitting uncomfortably (the train or the bus, for instance). I don't really crack my knuckles; I crack my fingers. Lock them together and protude the arms outward, palms facing out, or use the opposite thumb and index knuckle to crack a finger at a time (can't crack my thumbs or pinky, though). Sometimes I'll be leaning on my hand and my wrist will crack.

That said, it's known to cause abnormal weardown of the joints, so I only do it about 3-4 times a week.
