What are some odd traits about you?

I’m curious to see what makes you different from the “average” person.

What trait do you have that most don’t?
What can you do that most people can’t?
What’s something you think stands out about you?

For example:

I have two different colored eyes. My left eye is blue and my right eye is green. I have an extra bone in both my feet (they were supposed to get removed when I was a kid because they were scrapping against my other bones and causing erosion but my “mom” decided to get drunk instead of taking me to my surgery appointment and nothing else was ever done about it, they don’t hurt anymore). I can still walk on my knees if I want. I can paint. I can draw.

I’ll think of more to add.

username checks out :D....

@Belladona the different color eye thing is either Heterochromia of the eye is called heterochromia iridum or heterochromia iridis. It can be complete or sectoral. In complete heterochromia, one iris is a different color from the other. In sectoral heterochromia, part of one iris is a different color from its remainder. if you didn't already know

ask @ilikeitfruity they might know more :D

myself i just am to damm normal and fat...

Not much differentiates me from the pack... although I can take tests very well... never really studied in HS/College and was able to read through the chapters or subject matter once, take the test and get a much better than average score... retention, well that is a different matter... what were we talking about again?

I do have a knack for pointing out people's faults or when they do stupid shit and tell them of that fault or stupid shit almost immediately, wife calls it the asshole in me, to which I like to correct her fault in that thought ;) ... almost immediately.

Oh, lastly I don't take much seriously; I genuinely don't give two shits about people who are not directly part of my life, its not that I am an asshole (Wife begs to differ...again I correct her on this ) to them or just outright rude and disrespectful... I can shrug off almost anything... similarly to the Black Knight in Monty Python's, "Holy Grail"... "I'm Invincible" ... Its just a flesh wound.

Ohh have been stuck here for close to 900 of your earth years.
Observing... I told them it was a waste of my time but since I was not a favorite son...
Time to generate a new body in a couple of decades so I am not mistaken for a god or something...
Always linked so even if I die unexpectedly my memories will survive.
Humans might improve greatly if their lifespan was not so short.
Tech is easily passed on wisdom not so much.

Oh and your calculations are a bit off but not bad for human knowledge ;)

I have this weird thing about shredded cheese. I have to eat every little piece. Like at Taco Bell or something, if any of the cheese falls on to the wrapper, I feel the need to eat it. Even at home I do it. I'll leave the lettuce and whatever else, but not the cheese. I gotta eat every little piece. Frozen pizzas? Yeah, I got problems.. I'll round up each little stray piece and throw in on the pizza before it goes in the oven.. Some stays on the carboard, some gets hung up in the plastic lol. It's one of my quirks.

OMG my brother in law does the same thing!!! Literally 3 days ago I was making us a pizza and some cheese went on the pan and he made me pick up each piece to put back on the pizza!! I was like, “really?” Lol I thought he was the only one!

I’m double jointed, basically means my ligaments are stretchier than normal. For a long time I thought it meant I actually had two joints but when the internet was invented and many years had past where I was finally convinced it wasn’t a passing fad. I got access and learned how to use it and then googled double jointed I learned it was just stretchy ligaments. Anyhow as a kid it was fun showing off for the other kids how I could bend my fingers back to touch my arms or how I sat with my legs out sideways. Not so stretchy now with age and arthritis but it was fun while it lasted. I used to be able to walk on my hands if that counts. I’ll stop now because I’ll just be saying how good I once was. Oh I can tolerate pain pretty well and lay down horizontal for a very long time. That’s all I got for now, oh I can forget things with the best of them. Ok now what was I talking about...

Well that’s cool! I wish I was stretchy

It is a genetic thing because my sister and mother are both stretchy so to speak. I don’t know if my brothers are I’ll have to ask them but it’s a genetic thing. Just a fun fact I thought I’d add.

Same here. I didn't mention is as abnormal as I though everyone does this.

I've taken a huge amount of abuse to my body. Only a career stunt man can rival what I've done. That includes breaking a vertebrae into 3 pieces and I'm still walking. It amazes me whenever I think about what I've done to myself.

I have a thing for purses and tennis shoes, or sneakers, or whatever you choose to call them.
I hate trendy fashion. Gimme comfort.
I don't like to wear make up, so when I have to, it drives me nuts.
I was 50 before I ever broke a bone in my body (foot) and walked around on it for 2 months before I could get a proper diagnoses.
I can't cross my fingers.

I do not tear gift wrapping. Instead I have to remove the tape carefully as to not pull the paper with it. Then I can unfold the wrapper to open my gift. Been that way as far back as I can remember, drives my wife absolutely nuts.

:giggle: That’d drive me nuts too! Lol that’s a skill though! I couldn’t do it.

what if you were to tear the paper? What would happen?

It's upsetting and I end up tearing into it. It's an instant trigger I have yet to overcome.

Forgot a funny tidbit... I teased my wife years ago before we were married about it...


I can hold a complete conversation with someone only using these responses...

1. Really?
2. Interesting
3. What else?
4. That it?
5. Hmm
6. Tell me more


Example:


Wife: Honey I had a rough day

Me: 1

Wife: I had these patients today that were...

Me: 2

Wife: You wouldn't believe what happened...

Me: Insert 1, 3, 4, 6


Wife: yeah <Goes on about her day>


Me: 2, followed by 3 lol


This can go on and on and on... I did tell her about the 6 responses long ago, and she got a tad perturbed and asked how often I would do that...


Me: 1

I dislike things in pairs. I prefer things individually or in groups of three.

I am largely right-handed but generally, sign my name with my left hand and am as equally proficient shooting left hand/left eye as I am with dominant hand/eye. I have purchased left-handed rifles for a steal because of this little oddity. There are some tasks that I prefer doing left-handed and in fact, do better left-handed. I do not like however making left-handed turns and prefer turning to the right. I will not drive in a middle lane(s) of a 3+ lane road and will almost always drive in the left lane if I know the area and the right lane if I do not.

I keep something to drink close by all the time. My favorite drink is unsweetened tea with a LOT of ice.

I like going to the movies by myself.

I too like purses but have a thing for the components of my purse being all matchy. Drives me batshit when things don't match.

I don't like (read, DON'T EAT) mayonnaise, or anything with mayonnaise in it, or anything that has been close to mayonnaise, or anything that THOUGHT about being close to mayonnaise...In fact I like most foods plain, eat "goop" on almost nothing - no ketchup, no mustard, no steak sauce, no Worchestershire, no tartar, no salad dressing, no hot sauce, no vinegar, no ranch dressing, no jelly, no soy or duck sauce...etc.

I decided I wanted to go by my middle name when I was 8, because people around me couldn't pronounce "Vanessa" properly. People kept calling me "Nessa" or "Nessie," which to me sounded like a pet name you'd give a cow.

I consciously changed the way I talked when I was 10 and we had moved from the foothills of NC to central Florida. I caught a lot of shit down there for talking like a hillbilly.

I found a person whose handwriting I liked when I was in junior high school, and I practiced night and day until my writing looked like that person's.

I finally met my bio-dad when I was 41 years old.

I remember where I was when Kennedy was shot, when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan for the first time, when astronauts landed on the Moon, when John Lennon was shot, when Joe Theismann broke his leg in two, when the Challenger blew up, when Dale Earnhardt died in the Daytona 500, and when planes hit the World Trade Center.

I have 6 1/2 toes on each foot. Only 5 show, the other bones are under the skin but it makes it difficult to buy shoes!

I can sleep for 36 hours straight.

I'm ambidextrous.

I'm double jointed in almost every joint. My knees used to bend backwards 5 inches till they surgically corrected them by cutting the ligaments.

I'm on more medication than most of the VU members put together (ok I'm stretching it now lol)

I absolutely cannot stand touching cotton. My whole life I'll avoid cotton balls like they carry the plague. It's the feel of it rubbing together that makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

It's almost funny that I'm rebuilding an rda or rta every other day, but I use Rayon (not much better than the feel of cotton) I also use two pairs of tweezers and have it down to a science to where I only handle the wick to roll it, I even take it out of the bag with tweezers.

It's the only quirk I have that I can think of aside from being slightly OCD.
