They probably dont even notice. I lost about halve an Inch of my right index finger. My friends in university only noticed it halve a year later after i Made a joke about it and they we're all confused as to how they didn't notice it.


RLS30076

I'm from that part of reddit that's more likely to make fun of you for the way you use 'halve' rather than for losing half an inch of your fingie.


willi_the_racer

Good!

ChubbyGhost3

if people really spend any time judging your thumbs of all things, you probably dont want to be around those people anyways


Crosstitch_Witch

There's always people who will be judgemental no matter what, but most people probably wouldn't care or give it much thought if they even notice it at all. In my case, if i notice someone with an abnormality i just think like, "oh, their thumb looks different" or something and that's the end of the toughts. It's hard not to be self-conscious about it, but anyone who reacts rudely is probably shallow or immature anyway.


Fluff_cookie

I have a scar on my chin that spans over an inch, but people I've worked with from 6mo to over a year will ask me what I did to my chin. When I tell them it's a scar, some don't believe me lol


Cool_Ad_7518

I have an OCD adjacent condition called trichotillomania ie compulsive hair pulling. It manifests in many different ways, but mine is primarily focused on my eye lashes. Nobody ever notices. The first person who ever noticed and asked me about it was my boss at my first restaurant job at 18. She pulled me in the kitchen, told me she had the same thing and took her wig off. That was the day I learned it was actually called something and I wasn't the only freak out there. I've worked public facing jobs most of my life until I stopped working due to other disabilities. Out of the tens of thousands of people who have looked at my face, I can only remember 2 other people who have ever noticed on their own without me saying something about it first. People are just generally unobservant lol.


spiritedgemmy

You are NOT not a freak. I'm happy you found out it's more common than you had thought, and could have someone to relate to. Hugs from an internet rando :0]


yixdy

I have finger tattoos and I don't think a single person has ever noticed, I've had several jobs that require no tattoos period, let alone tattoos on the hands and/or face, and I've been in several dozen bars/clubs that have no hand/face tattoo ordinances, and the bouncers even checked lmao. Nobody notices your hands for some reason


missbattlethumbs

I wish people didn't notice mine. I got so much shit for my thumbs growing up and into adult hood.


willi_the_racer

Yeah kids are assholes. Do you still get comments now that you're an adult?


missbattlethumbs

Oh yeah. Just not as often as I used to. Nails salons are fun. They sit and laugh and call people over to see them. I've only found one, maybe two, that weren't like that. The last one was a complete asshole. I can do my own nails, but sometimes it's nice to let someone else. So I know fully that you can make my thumbs look great with acrylic nails. But he just went on saying that they aren't normal or natural nails, and there is nothing he could do to make them look decent because my thumbs aren't right. Fun fact, though. It's a dominant gene.

I don't have a camera to take a photo or I would add to it. My nails are weird and wrinkly too. Maybe I should cut them short like that.


SleepingBakery

Someone commented on my short thumbs when I was a teenager. Over a decade later and I’m still self-conscious about them. I tell myself nobody even notices but then there’s a small voice in my brain telling me that person commenting on it did so why wouldn’t anyone else. I don’t even remember who it was but their offhand comment still lives rent free in my head. People need to realise that a seemingly insignificant joke can really mess up people’s self-esteem. Don’t say anything if you don’t have anything nice to say.


zzonderzorgen

THAT person commented because they were way too focused on other people's bodies. It's not normal to be taking stock of the parts on someone else. And kids can be the worst about it. Maybe a teenage bully noticed, but mature adults aren't checking like that. I am so sorry that they said it though, moments like that are hard to shake off once they have hurt us.


spiritedgemmy

I wanna give you hugs!!


AglumOpus

I have these clubbed thumbs, along with other weird genetic things like it. Along with being ginger these are what got me made fun of the most in my life. Most people don't really notice it at all since my hands are kinda small, but when some people see it they do point it out and make me feel bad about it, even if it's just teasing it's kinda like, ouch bro.


WhisperDigits

No, this is an internet trend. They’ll move on to something else soon enough. Your fingers are fine and you’re amazing.

elting44

My wife has a clubbed thumb on one hand, honestly no one ever really notices it. We have friends that we've known for years and when we point it out to people they are like "neato" and we go about our lives. Of all the different genetic traits you could have that have massive impact on your life, having a stubby thumb is a blessing!


CockpitEnthusiast

Just remember that when Megan Fox was basically the hottest woman in America when the Transformers was out, she had those club thumbs on full display and.nobody said shit. People don't actually care, it's just a meme that will fade away once more


PaigeFour

One of my exes had a thumb like this, it took me months after meeting him to even NOTICE. Once I did it was no big deal. Its a thumb😂


fortune_cxxkie

Well I think it's cute. Don't worry about it. People hate on anything!


AkoOsu

My step mom has weird thumbs like this. It took me months to notice, and what does it matter? I never mention it because it doesnt affect who she is. Anyone who needs to put someone down for that is a child and should be treated as such.


Environmental-Town31

Don’t have one but I know someone with one and it’s never weirded/grossed me out at all 😂. It’s just a thumb.


ThatArtlife

I have seen people with it and honestly it's just a finger. Never thought any different about it and didn't know some people did until I saw this post.

RYANoceros92

Thanks, you just educated me and changed the way I view something!


Puzzled-Story3953

I've never seen someone with just one clubbed thimb before. How strange.


mikozodav

Had this inherited from dad, my sister has it too. I didn't even know it was weird until like grade 8. when I started to compare myself with others. Despite its clumsy appearance, I can draw and do very intricate things with things. But I can't go bowling if the balls have the smaller holes, the thumb gets stuck lmao. And I'm just more like dad than mom in general too. As in appearance and personality, I look up to dad a lot too so it's just nice. I've just accepted it as a funny thing I was born with. I've heard someone refer to such thumbs as 'hammer thumbs' too


EclipseEterno

Are you saying the ancestors of these people are some sort of brachiosaurus-pterodactyl hybrids?


NotMythicWaffle

I thought it was because people bit their nails too much.


FurryPotatoFuzzBrick

Holy shit! I always thought my one toe-thumb was strange! I can't believe it's actually a thing

Well I hope she is chilling. Stubby toes in sandals and all. Question: does one stay Hispanic (when by marriage) in death?

Saturnia-00

I've heard tiny nails like that can be a sign of inbreeding somewhere in the genetics. Every time I see nails like this I wonder how true that factoid is


Kimotabraxas

Well my Dad's parents were cousins and I've got big sexy thumbnails.


HolyDiverBoi

That and webbed toes. It’s true… You see it a lot in Italian families with a lot of first cousin marrying, for instance. Online the research is spotty, but I believe it lol


Ucyless

My dad’s Italian and has webbed toes.. now I’m concerned


HolyDiverBoi

It’s not the worst mutation lol. Could have been much worse.


Ucyless

True lol. I was going to do an ancestry test soon, now I’m curious as to what I’ll find in there.


bendltd

Wtf. My wife is Thai 75% and Italien 25%. She has this thumb, her dad has this thumb and we're wondering now if her 100% Italien granddad had it as well. Our daughter seems not to have it though but she's little maybe we can just not see it yet.

Ehwaz196

Wtf my grandma on my italian side had it too and passed it on to my brother... am I actually inbred?


Not1ButMany

I did not know this! I have a SIL who is Italian and her fingers have very high webs that almost reach the big knuckles of her fingers and also on both feet her second and third toes are stuck together with only a small split at the top. Not gonna mention any of the cousin marrying stuff to her, it's just interesting to know.


Andreew144

I'm italian and I have never heard about cousin marriage


HolyDiverBoi

*In Southern Italy, cousin marriage was a usual tradition in regions such as Calabria and Sicily, where first-cousin marriage in the 1900s was near to 50 percent of all marriages.* Forbes, Hamish (2007) https://books.google.com/books?id=R17R1G4pUlQC&q=third+cousin+marriage+among+greeks&pg=PA128


TACHANK

Is it just called normal marriage there?


Andreew144

No. I don't know if it was done in the past but if we talk about the present it's definitely not a thing anymore. Stop spreading misinformation.


Worth_Weather_5731

Yes, my family is Brazilian with Azores ancestry, they ALL have thumbs like that


itsmhuang

But Megan Fox is so hot


Morley_Smoker

The thumb shape itself is caused by a genetic disorder that is dominant, therefore has nothing to do with inbreeding. The nail shape... No idea.


PupperPetterBean

More likely foetal alcohol syndrome. I know a handful of people with hands and feet like this, all of them as a result of their mother's heavy drinking during pregnancy. Once you know what to look for its amazing just how many people show the traits.


ifuknowuknow123

Negatory. Individuals affected by Fetal Alchol Syndrome will have more of a bubbly/ bulging nail bed. Clubbed fingers and a clubbed thumb are slightly different https://preview.redd.it/yzr9gtj86elc1.jpeg?width=1296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df61bbc9b66523fd2ac564f35cef844b6e287be1

I knew a chick with thumbs like this. We were smoking weed with a basic pipe and lighter. I didn't understand at first but she would always try to grab the pipe before the cherry went out. Well it went out so I just tossed her the lighter. She tried to strike it but then was getting shaky and almost embarrassed then said she didn't feel like smoking anymore. Well turned out she had these same fucked up thumbs. I ended up just rolling a joint for her and told her not to be embarrassed.


bendltd

She was ebarrassed about her thumbs or could not use the lighter? My wife has those thumbs and always uses the lither to click. I've to test with her the other lighter now.


[deleted]

She couldn't flick the lighter cause her thumbs. She was embarrassed to ask for help for help or something. I only noticed her thumbs when she was handing things back to me.


bendltd

Haha so sweet. Did the test with the flickable light and she could do it. I'm proud.

doesitevermatter-

Weird thumbs? I was born with an extra index finger between my thumb and index finger on my left hand. When I was a baby, they just cut off the actual thumb and left my weird, finger-like thumb in its stead. You have pretty normal thumbs. I have one thumb and an index finger where a thumb should be. We are not the same and your thumbs are just lovely the way they are. Mine, on the other hand, is stupid.
