    There, now, THIS is the right post for this comment…

    My thumbs do that, too. Just means they’re double-jointed.

      Obviously she’s double jointed! But did you miss the point where this was supposed to be a joke?!

      So? Just because there’s an explanation for it doesn’t mean it’s normal. Oh, the Elephant Man isn’t freaky looking, he just as a lymphatic disorder — NO, IT’S FREAKY. Sorry, Fia, but you have freaky thumbs. Admitting it is the first stage to joining the circus.

        Comments like these are the reason bullying laws are becoming necessary. I get this is supposed to be a joke but make fun of her vacant expression; why make fun of something she was born with and she can do absolutely nothing about?

        Normally if I don’t find a post funny I just skip it but some of you commenters have been really ignorant… Right PishPosh?

        It’s a common, recessive genetic trait. If your hair is blonde or red, your eyes are any color other than brown, if you lack a cleft chin, freckles or dimples, or have thin lips or straight pinkies, you’re just as much of a freak as I am.

      If your joints go back this far it is very possible you have Elos Danlos. My neice has it for sure and hers don’t even go back that far, my joints go back a reasonable amount and it is possible I have it.

    My thumbs do that too! My husband laughs at me all the time for it, but I look for signs that my kids inherited this from me. They didn’t. :(

    My sons thumbs do that, except at the next joint down, (the base of his thumb). It does look strange, like his thumb is broken. It turns out my husbands thumbs are the same, though not quite as flexible because he is in his 4os, so I guess it’s a genetic thing. Its never caused him any problems, thank goodness!

    I thought there was no such thing as “double jointed”, just loose joints. Anyone clarify for me?

    Personally, the thumbs don’t bother me as much as the “I’ve been struck in the head with a meat tenderizer one too many times” look she has in her eyes.

    Having it double jointed would certainly make sitting around “with my thumb up my ass” a whole lot more exciting!

    Ron: “Because I’ve got a double jointed thumb Frederick”!

    Fred: “lucky bastard”!

    My thumbs hyperextend a little bit but not like this! If she tried to hitchhike she’d just end up going in a circle. Her right thumb looks like someone smashed it with a Rachael Ray Bubble ‘n Brown.

    Ugh freaky… All the politically correct people need to untighten their asses. Get over it the girl is freaky.

    Political Correctness is destroying our country.

      And then you realise that this kind of thumb joint can be a symptom of cerebral palsy and you realise you may be calling a girl with a serious and incurable disease freaky for your own mild and fleeting entertainment.

      It’s not politically correct, it’s just common sense and human decency.

    We have that in my family, but it is due to our Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility type.

      I just mentined Ehlers Danlos to somone else that said theirs also do this in a comment above before reading yours. Thing is my fingers only go back really far when pushed backwards (or when I’m attempting to open something lol) not just normally.

      Yeah, we have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in my family, too. I have it, use a wheelchair, and yes, my thumbs can do this. However, I can still pinch salt, and I’m a pretty darn good cook, if I do say so myself… ;*)

    Political correctness and “human decency”, be damned. Honesty comes first. Those thumbs are fuh-reaky!

    My son and husband have thumbs that don’t go that far back, but they’re both double jointed and their thumbs are definitely bendy. They make fun of *me* because my thumbs aren’t. Only I, unlike some people in these comments, don’t cry “bully” whenever they joke about my ordinary thumbs. Get over yourselves, toughen up, and learn to laugh at your freaky thumbs.
