Whats your (unwanted) bodily quirk?

    Unless youre perfect of course :P
    I had an enlightening conversation with a dog breeder at work today and I got thinking about different traits in humans that don't comply with the "norm", whatever that is :rollseyes:
    Mine is im cross eyed. It isn't extremely noticeable when Im talking with someone but from more of a distance it is. Its the result of facial paralysis so I suppose it could be much worse :P My right eye is atrophic (smaller due to nerve damage) so it sits like .5 cm lower on my face.
    So what's yours? One of my friends for example produces way too much saliva, while another has webbed toes.

    Hooded eyes.

    Years and years as a teen/young adult trying to figure out how to put make-up on, and only in my later years discovering that it was my eyes that were frigged up, not my application skills.
    They aren't even matching hoods, so what might work aesthetically for one eye won't work for the other.

    That's called Morton's Toe :P It was once upon a time believed to be the ideal Roman toe configuration ;)

    Extraodrinarily puffy nipples. I look like a guy who did a poorly thought out steroid cycle and f*cked it up, except ironically I'm only just doing things like that now out of trying to fix the feckin' problem. :p

    Vitiligo , I've given up trying to explain what is.

    The lad down below has a propensity to am.....get excited a bit too quick.

    When it happened the first it time I merely chalked it off as an unfortunate "accident". But any subsequent incidents since has me of the belief that it's more of a (totally) unwanted quirk.

    Ezcema since I was 12. I hate it so much but when I get a scratch on an itch oh sweet baby Jesus it's sooo good. And a no hair on my head but plenty on my back.

    I'm actually a 12 foot lizard and I am closely monitoring Conspiracy Theories for laughs and occasional snacks.

    O Lord it's hard to me humble when you're perfect in every way, I can't wait to look in the mirror coz I get better looking each day

    My boobs are too big and it's not a positive. It's an encumbrance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,510 ✭✭✭✭PARlance

    Have the same thing.

    I also can make my belly pop out to make it look like I'm a fairly heavily pregnant woman... I'm relatively in shape so it's quite the contortion. My drunken party trick was balancing a pint on it while standing up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    Hair. Hair everywhere. As it goes, it ain't the worst kind at all and no one's ever complained (my most recent ex like it) but I loathe it.

    Hair is easy as pie to get rid of. Breasts aren't.

    I have webbed toes and am extremely double jointed.

    I'd a golf lesson recently and the coach told me I was a freak after I had a stretch by putting both hands behind my shoulder, stretching them down to my ass and then raising them above my head.

    I also have the second toe being bigger than the big toe thing, and my ring finger is bigger than my first finger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,358 ✭✭✭jimbis


    I've one blue eye and one brown.

    Like David Bowie and my neighbours cat.

    the other way round ?

    I have no willy.







    Or else it was that I have dyspraxia, but I can't remember which.

    It's all relative I suppose. Give me a choice of huge boobs or body hair I'd choose ... umm...

    I'm getting compared to seriously morbidly obese people just cos I have big boobs. It's relative to me.

    I have very squishy kneecaps which sometimes seem to sag and I can always move then around, lift them up, wiggle around etc.

    Freaks people out it seems but it doesn't hurt at all.

    I'm not making light of it :) A close friend suffers the same way and I know it's nothing to joke about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,779 ✭✭✭Day Lewin


    I keep trying to answer this, and then crying, NO, not that!! Secrecy must cover me!!

    Ive got very, very wide feet. Short and VERY wide. Practically square. They simply do not make shoes that shape, not even the sponge-bag matronly ones. So, bunions added.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    ^ Yeah, I'm taking the piss here (I'm drunk as per usual). Genuine sympathies to anyone who does have something causing real trauma.
    And there are real friends over in Personal Issues rather than this den of
    the likes of me.

    Taking steroids now will make that problem worse.

    My bcg or mmr scars (not sure) on my arm are really visible. The 3 perfectly circular little scars arranged in a triangle look like some alien stamp done during an abduction :)

    The good folks of AH need photographic evidence that support these claims.
