Let’s see:
I’m hypermobile. I can’t play golf because swinging the club dislocates my shoulder. It took forever for me to be able to waterski because my ankles would just tip over. On the other hand, the splits, walkovers, and such like made me a good gymnast until I got too tall.
My eyes are distinctly blue and yellow. Naturally, everybody calls me a green-eyed redhead but my eyes are not green. Also, my strong eye is opposite of my strong hand. Usually, your strong eye is on the same side as your strong hand. No biggie, just interesting.
I have scoliosis, caused by having a left leg that is about 1 inch shorter than the right leg. My right foot is a half-size longer than the left but the left foot is wider.
I am almost completely deaf in my right ear. There’s never been an explanation for it of any kind. The bad part is that my left ear is fading and I can’t afford to get new hearing aids.
I can actually wiggle my ears. There are small muscles which attach at what would be the 2:00 o’clock position on the ear (pointing up and back).
For some reason I developed the ability to voluntarily contract them.
Can’t move them individually - it’s all or nothing.
My right arm is now longer than my left by about an inch, I tore something in my shoulder and upper back at work one day and rather than go to the doctor who would have made me stop working (only a month left in the season) I just iced it at home. It did hurt but there was no loss of mobility or strength. Took a little over a year to heal (another season of work).
Ingrown toenail, big toe left foot when I was 7. Had it removed and it never grew back. Was self-conscious about it for a few years but got over it. Handy in a strange way. To this day when giving directions, go left or right, I look at my feet.
At 50+ I can still easily touch the floor without bending my knees. Haven’t had a sprained ankle in forever despite the occasional rolling of the ankle, quit reflexes to counter the roll.
Have been told that I fall in slow motion. Made sense of a sort. When I have fallen in the last 30 years I’ve noticed that everything seems to slow down in my mind as I adjust my body for impact that will be least injurious. But that is more mental than physical.
Oh, I can hold mine open too! I don’t know if I could do it for literally minutes at at a time, but for at least a minute. Damn useful during plane trips!
Just to continue the showering hijack: I had to shower nude in a common shower room after gym in high school in the early 1960s, and I’m a girl. Was my school the only one that made girls do this? Or am I the only woman in here old enough to have done this? Help!
My high school was built in the early 70s. The girls’ locker room had a few individual stalls which you were only allowed to use if you were menstruating. Otherwise, you used something we called “the car wash”, which was a long narrow passageway with shower nozzles on each side that you walked through. Weird. Don’t understand how they expected that to clean you. And at the end of it, the teacher would check off if you’d showered as required.
