I can pick up stuff with my toes, but it’s rarely useful for me.
I can too.
I do it without even realizing it sometimes.
Sue D.: I hear ya. I never even knew I had this skill until I had an offspring. I pick up the little demon’s pacifier this way ALL the time.
I can pick up stuff with my toes, but I usually pinch whatever I’m trying to pick up between my row of toes and the ball of my foot, rather than between my toes. I also NEVER bend over to wipe water off the floor: I throw a towel on the floor, wipe it up using my foot on the towel, and then pick the towel back up with my toes.
BTW Uncle Beer I saw a video of a footjob once. All I can say is … *** WHY??? ***
I can. I have very long, dextrous toes (I can actually flip one off with my left toes). I can also do the toe pinching thing. A friend of mine when I was younger thought that I was a mutant, my toes are so long. Really, they just fit my feet, which are also long and narrow.
There was an episode of 60 Minutes on about 10-15 years ago about a woman with no arms. She did everything with her feet. She was shown washing dishes, slicing tomatoes, even cutting her kids’ hair. She held the comb with one set of toes and worked the scissors with the other. It was bloody amazing.
I use my toes all the time to pick things up - I didn’t realize there were people who couldn’t do this - but I can’t in my wildest dreams imagine cutting hair with them.
I’ve always referred to them as prehensile toes. I can pick up a dime off the linoleum. VERY handy when you’re pregnant!
A fourth grade teacher used to give us a five minute rest breaks and allow anyone who wanted to remove shoes and socks and cross pinkie over next toe, that toe over the next and so on as many toes as we could cross over and on either or both feet. What a giggle especially since you couldn’t touch your toes to help the crossing along. The kid with the most ‘talented piggies’ got special privileges for the rest of the day. Lots of kids practiced at recess.
I can pick things up with my toes, but not terribly efficiently.
However I can write fairly well with my toes. During grad school, a bunch of us burnouts somehow got the notion of trying to write with out feet. (It seemed perfectly sensible at the time.)
Rather to my amazement, I can print fairly clearly with a pen held firmly between the toes of my right foot. I’m right handed and right footed, apparently.
Now that’s mundane and pointless.

I can pick stuff up with my toes either by pinching my toes together around an item of by wrapping my long toes around said item. As for typing, ewe.l.l, i’;,m nmpot dsop gfooidf yreyt/.
Me, me ,me!!
Alas, I always need at least one hand to peel bananas with them or I fall out of the tree.

I’m pretty good with my toes. My friend, however, is so good that he earned the nickname “Monkey Feet” at a party. It stuck for quite a while.
I can pick up stuff with my toes… I haven’t had very many oppotunities to do so but I can… I pick up towels and pens adn stuff like that usually.
I pick up lint with my toes without even trying, I can do it with my belly button too, wanna see? Ok, fine, I didn’t wanna show you anyway!
I can pick up stuff too, but not that well.
My buddy is part orangatang as near as i can tell: He’s hairy, and can pick up all kinds of stuff with his feet.
Kelli - The pinch is much more effective if you don’t cut your toenails for a really long time. You can actually draw blood.
UncleBeer - Take me to dinner in a nice candle lit corner of a fancy restaurant and I’ll show ya the true meaning of a footjob. 
Of course I can pick things up with my toes - it comes in handy (footie?) with my hobby. We once had a discussion in class about picking up tips that fell to the floor with our toes and a comment was made about not being able to pick up credit cards. I went home and did it. (You have to use the other foot to keep it still)
<giggle> I can also tickle with my toes. That and being short gives me a definite advantage in tickle fights!
How can anyone who has children fail to pick things up with your toes? What else do you do when you are holding a sick baby that spews if you tip him over? EVERYTHING must be picked up with the toes. He is now 13 months old and starting to try to pick things up with his toes. <Sniffle> I am so proud.
