I do the whole pinky thing when drinking tea and coffee (I'm not British) and i also use it to clean some of the wax out my ears.
Yep I do the wax thing too. And when drinking drinks, I actually support the cup/mug/glass with my pinky underneath the vessel, which I find rather strange.

I use my pinky for just about everything. It's quite vital for my continued existence, actually.

It's especially important when you kidnap someone and demand ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS! for their safe return.

Exactly. This man will totally be part of Moon Unit Zappa.

Digging in my ear.

My other fingers are too fat to use for that purpose.
Likewise. Additionally, my pinky helps me type/play PC games, picks my nose occasionally, hits the blue and orange buttons, and rubs my kitty's chin.

I use my left pinky to press some of the keys on the left hand side of my keyboard, I guess. Especially shift and control. And I use my right one to press the return key. And stabilising stuff in general. I don't know, don't really think about it. It took me two minutes to figure out whether or not I even used my pinky fingers to type. Turns out I do.

Just about everything that requires hands.

Seriously, try to hold something without a pinky finger, and use it. It's so awkward.

Left one - mostly for the left Shift and left control.
The right one is for Enter (or return or whatever).
Both - for suporting heavier or unwieldy beer bottles/cans by resting them on the pinky.
And, of course, the horns! \m/

My pinkies are messed up, they bend in two directions of their own accord so I don't use them for much. I keep them strong (or at least functional) by using them to open doors and that's just about it.

I use it to type with. I was going to say the shocker, but I was beaten to it. I also use it in Aikido, for some of the strikes. Also good for digging in the ears and Dr. Evil impressions. Pretty much everything already said.

I lift weights with it.

On a more serious note, I guess I don't really use it that much, I move my hands around all the time when using a keyboard, so rarely use it for tapping keys. Pinky Promises are always the most secure way to make sure your secret is safe :)

The little finger doesn?t have much importance to itself apart from maybe some keyboard usage and with playing some instruments. For the most part it?s a finger that goes along with the others and so is probably more important and is actually used more than we realise. I imagine if I suddenly lost them it might cause some initial difficulty and a fair amount of readjustment.

An internet for you! Or a cookie, your choice.

As for me, I use it when I have to move up a ridiculous amount of octaves during some piano pieces.

Well... Normally when I grip a handle or pole or the like, I wrap all my fingers around it, including my pinky.

That's about all.

Ooh! And Ctrl and Shift!
