Bumpy shoulder from when I ran into a pot of boiling potatoes as a kid

when I was 11 a girl in my class dug her fingernails into my hand and I’ve had this scar ever since then

Two of my nails are absolutely fucked on my right hand from when I managed to land of them with my knee at at awkward angle when playing cricket about 25 years ago and completely destroyed them (very painful).I kind of grow an additional nail over the top of the nails and I have to cut them off every know and again.

Photos spoilers as they look a bit gross zoomed in!

I’ve had that before. Kicked something when I was drunk.

One of them is the wrong shape for a nail and the other has a massive permanent dent in it

:+1:

I have one hair that grows from the middle of my forehead that I never notice until it’s at least 3-5cm long

Oh yeah my index fingers curve slightly towards my middle fingers on both hands - probably early signs of family history of arthritis/years spent typing and playing instruments with imperfect hand posture

Got some scars on my knee from when I was sea swimming and swam into some rocks, and some on my nose from having something nasty cut out of it. One of my toenails is done in from running as well. The other nine are just dandy, but this one is always black, thinking about falling off, etc

I have one incredibly long eyebrow hair. Ridiculously long. Which is upsetting as I normally have naturally immaculate eyebrows. They’re probably my best feature.

I don’t have any pictures I’m afraid - Mrs Horse insisted I had to trim it after complaining, “it’s in the shape of a question mark and I feel like it’s mocking me.”

I was planning on making this exact thread, woah

No way WHAT

Btw these are ace contributions but I feel a bit weird liking posts in case it’s something that someone isn’t comfortable with or is from traumatic injury etc.

But I love weird body things. They’re cool. You’re all cool.

Yeah I was going to base it around the fact that, if im unwell or hungover, I can’t sleep on my right hand side at all - makes me want to throw up almost instantly. But on my back or left side, no issue

And another one: I cut my index finger on my left hand badly once on some broken glass and the nerve is fucked so now its either oddly tingly sensitive or sometimes just numb down one side.

seems against the spirit of the thread but ok :smiley:

cant believe my mashed up nails have had no comments :upside_down_face:

I’m a bit bemused by them. I thought nails grew from the bottom?

Started from the bottom now we here

Body quirks where do I start

One (OK now more than one) wiry black hair in my chin that strikes without warning and I only see it when it’s six inches long

My ear/jaw clicks and it’s audible to others

yeah they do!

but i seem to have a nail layer that isn’t attached to the rest of the nail, so i develop what seems to be called a free edge (see link) very quickly on the bit of nail that should be attached to the rest of the nail, lets say at the laternal nail fold (see link) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/96/54/d0/9654d0e5423ce6aefb92476767906982.jpg

i’ve never had the discipline to see what happens if it just carries on growing, always accidentally bend them (the free edges) backwards and have to snip them off.

hurt like hell when i did it, probably should have gone to hospital or something
