What do you do pop? You know fingers toes stuff like that. I pop just about everything. I pop my neck, back, knees etc. etc. Heck, I even pop my… well…er you know.
Are you a popper too? If so, what do you pop? And are you worried about getting arthritis later in life or do you just not care like me?
No, I don’t know. It’d have to someplace with a joint wouldn’t it?
As for me, I’m a walking bag of pops. Walking down the street, I sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies.
Knuckles, back, neck, jaw (since I had my wisdom teeth out - I really should look into getting that fixed), toes, knees (involuntarily), and my shoulder seems to be almost constantly out of whack or something.
I ‘pop’ my fingers and wrists all the time. I can actually pop my wrist continuously…grosses my SO out so I do it a lot 
Mr. Frog I think that is just a side effect of being so crunchy.
But, I’m a bit of a popper myself. Hell, I could become an exotic dancer for the blind. I think I got it from my dad.
I read somewhere that the noise is sinovial fluid imploding. I also read that there is no proven connection between popping your knuckles and arthritis.
I’d never thought I would admit this to anyone but I pop there too. My wife thinks it is so freaky.
This is propably going to be the best news I have heard all day.
Nope. Nothing of mine even pops.
This is apparently not that uncommon. While I can’t lay claim to this talent, I have seen an article on this phenomenon. It’s called (and I’m not making this up) “Penis Cracking.” The article had stories from guys who were “casual crackers” and from a few unfortunate souls who got up to get something, while getting amorous with their SO, and hit the bedside table. Well, the damage can be corrected with micro-surgery. It was damn uncomfortable to read.
Jaw and toes.
And my thumbs often point out of joint (really grosses out my co-workers)
And bubblewrap, when I can find it (my co-workers hide it on me, so I just sit and pop my thumbs until they give it to me)!
pop virgin here.
Yes it was. I’d never heard of that.
And I forgot about my wrist. My right wrist pops whenever I move it due to a fracture that never set properly (a drunken tae-kwon-do lesson when I was in the AF and a chunk of concrete - long story, but I never saw a doctor about it cuz I was drinking underage).
Here is Cecil’s take on cracking knuckles and arthritis.
I’ve been popping my knuckles since I was in the 3rd grade! I also can pop my neck, wrists, back, knees, ankles, and toes. I can also pop both of my hips out of socket (not at the same time) and pop them back in. That really grosses people out for some reason.
Wait a few years. Something will. Sooner or later.
And have you found this skill useful in certain situations?
Hello. My name is Gooe and I’m a popper.
My ankles pop everytime I walk, it is hell trying to sneak up on someone. I can’t climb stairs without sounding like I’m about to fall apart.

Only when I want to gross someone out! It’s not beneficial (or comfortable) to have a hip out of socket during sex. :eek: I’ve tried it!
Jaw, neck, fingers, toes, knees (sometimes; I worry about my knees), and sometimes elbows.
Shoulder, elbows, and my worst bad habit my neck.
I pop it at least 5 times a day, and if given a good few hours between popping it then it’ll crack about 4-5 simultatious >1 per vertebrae maybe?< in each direction. Thats a total of 8-10 times in one session.
I think all i really need is a good neck massage. I can pop it, and then get this huge urge to crack my neck again, but since i’ve already done it, i end up just stretching it more with no results :(. Too much stress maybe? Eh i worry about it tho…i do it toooo often.
all finger knuckles, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, shoulder blades, back, hips, knees, ankles, toes. Damn, I’m gettin’ old.
I’m a popper, he’s a popper, she’s a popper, we’re all poppers. Wouldn’t you like to be a popper, too?
Hey, somebody had to do it.
I pop my knuckles occasionally, but the weird one I do is my nose.
It pops because I broke it at a very young age and it didn’t heal “properly” (it looks fine, doesn’t hurt, and doesn’t cause any problems, who am I to complain?).
Now, I’ll absent mindedly pop it in and out of place when I’m concentrating on something.
