Strange/unusual things about you, or that you do

I reckon I sleep on the floor about three times per week. I'm not really sure why - it must be more comfortable at some points.

How about you?

I always whisper 'bless me' to myself after a sneeze. Every time, even if others bless me. Not sure why, but I thought this was standard until somebody said it was odd

I can identify quite a fair few songs within seconds.
I also have a knack of being able to be smiling 99.9% of the time. 😄

This might call for an "obscure skills" thread!

I can twist my hand 360 degrees; it creeps ppl out and funny thing is, I saw it on a magic show, tried it and did it, so it's not really magic

For some reason I'm flexible, i.e. I can do the splits and the bridge, and I've never had any formal training in dancing or gymnastics. Another strange physical-related thing I can do is that I can plank up to 8 minutes. Again, never stepped my foot in the gym or had a personal trainer (and I still have some tummy flab lmao).

Also, is it just me or does anyone enjoy eating ice cream/cold beverages in winter and hot beverages in summer? My mum gives me weird looks but I think it's normal...

It is physically impossible for me to bend my thumb back beyond vertical (like my thumbprint is, at best, perfectly aligned with the rest of my thumb) and it pisses me off

Big yes for ice-cream in winter. Family dinner at my place nearly always involve  ice-cream for dessert. Big fan ^-^

I just realised - whenever I hiccup by accident I always say "woo, sorry" immediately after as an instinctual reaction, even if there's no-one there.

I can invert the middle joint of my left pinky-finger, and often do so in times of stress...

For a long time, I could bend my left pinky all the way back so that it was touching the top of my hand (so like, basically a full 180 degrees).

Now, I can only get it to 90 degrees. I think I probably lost the ability when I was about 16.

Holy shit.

Consider a Z-lite .

My thing: I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Not that strange or unusual, just thought I'd take the cheeky chance to plug the sport. Great for your mental and physical health, and always great to learn an *effective* martial art!
