Weird, funny things your body does

Title is pretty self explanatory, but just in case: this thread isn't meant for people to ask for advice about why their body does certain things. It's meant to share funny things we can (hopefully) share a laugh at.
Here goes:
Plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze. Every damn time. Luckily I get enough of a warning to be able to put the tweezers down, otherwise I'd be wearing at least one eyepatch ;)
 
I'm left-handed, left-legged, I have better vision on my left eye and I hear better on my left ear. My right side is just a mess. :) I always thought that was a little odd. Everything is very left oriented. I also prefer to sleep on my left side, the right side feels wrong.

I sneeze when I am in bright sunlight also I can twitch my body if I think deep thoughts or get sudden relief from some discomfort (why I have no idea).

The photic sneeze reflex. It occurs in about 18 to 35% of population, including me. I cannot stop sneezing near direct sunlight, bright lights.
 
I still easily sit down on my ankles/feet like a child does while playing.
I do it while weeding or checking electrical sockets etc.

If I do it incorrectly my left ankle gives out a sudden pain but only the left:eek:
 
I have castrophymorfic arm syndrome, which simply means my arms flail widly near donut and pastry boxes at the grocery store causing these items to fall into my shopping cart.

A part of the roof of my mouth is so ticklishly sensitive it's unbearable when I'm at the dentist and they're cleaning my teeth and they touch that part of the roof of my mouth with the air powered toothbrush.
 
I have a bendy finger - it bends back at a 45 degree angle. I have a bendy wrist too, and can bend my thumb back so it touches my arm.
 
My eyes also watered every time I had my eye brows waxed in the middle of a shopping mall. Is that why they have a tissue box? Also, I fart loudly sometimes before waking up fully and there’s no preventing this and my flat ‘mates’ are bound to hear this!
 
I sleepwalk and sleeptalk. And sometimes it's funny, I have been told. For example, I have been told I do speaches in my sleep. Long monologues. Sometimes I remember fractions of it, small glimpses. I also write sometimes, I wake up in the morning and find paper around my bed with writing on it but it's difficult to tell what it says.

I can crack my toes (and everything else). Loudly.

You can tell I have done this not just by the rather crunchy noise it makes, but by the second noise that always follows, which is a sort of "uuuuuuuuuwwwwwggghhhghghgh why do you do that" from anyone nearby who sees me do it. Needless to say, this is more reason to do it.

Also, knuckle cracking. There's three methods of doing that. Usually, I just do the one-handed method in an idle sort of way. Could also do the lace-fingers-and-pull-back way. Or I could do it like how Kenshiro in Fist of the North Star does it.

Difference with that last one is that I'm about as intimidating as a flower, so it doesnt have quite the same effect. Though it does sometimes get the "UGH STOP DOING THAT" from others nearby, so there's that.


Also yeah I have that "allergic to sunlight" thing some of you mentioned.

Haha, this is how I know my boyfriend’s waking up even when he’s sleeping on the other side of the house. It’s like he has a herald that announces his arrival with a trumpet, only his bum is doing the trumpeting.
