There's a pen on the ground. Can you pick it up with your feet/toes?

Not being a chimpanzee, no.

That would be anathema in Thai culture anyway. The feet is the lowest part of the body in more ways than one. The wife would rather I picked something up with my ass than with my feet. That would be just too horrible for her.

YES

Before getting pseudogout in my feet, I had very flexible feet and had no trouble picking things up with my toes. mrAru can still pick stuff up with his feet.

I have long toes (no not as long as fingers, ick!). My wife was freakin’ because I picked up something once while sitting on the couch, so I grabbed her fingers with my toes. She couldn’t break free. :smiley:

Whenever the circumstances require it. :slight_smile:
Being barefoot when I’m at home it would be a waste not to use all available extremities.

All the time! My phalanges are toetally flexible.

Yeah. All the time.

Other.
I used to be able to do things like this, even with my short, stubby toes but due to advancing diabetic neuropathy I no longer have the sensitivity and control to do so.
So I voted “can’t, but cool”.

Tinea.

Yep. And I’ve been known to open the sliding door with a foot when my hands were full, slam car doors, flush public toilets with my foot, and even use my toes to hold something when I needed three hands for a fiddly bit of fixing something.

Cub Mistress, my husband says I have prehensile toes too :slight_smile:

Yep, another one here with prehensile toes.

Yes, I have monkey feet. I can also give my husband a good pinch with my toes if he says something fresh while we are cuddling under a blanket. If he can see my foot coming he will kick me. He has Flintstone feet, the perfect counterbalance to my monkey feet.

Yes. It’s why my freshman year college roommate called me Monkey Toes. (Still does sometimes.)

I thought everyone could, you mean there are people who can’t bend their toes?

Since there was a recent thread, with poll, in IMHO, I have merged your thread into that.

Yesterday I had to tape two pieces of Coroplast end to end, so to keep them aligned while I stretched the tape over the seam y held the pieces in place with my toes.

Look momma!, both hands *and *both feet!

She would be so proud…

Can I take off my shoes first?

Cheater.

I can and do! I can also make my big toe point straight up while my other toes are curled under, like I’m pointing a finger at somebody.
