A hitchhiker’s thumb is when your thumb bends backwards at about the bottom of the nail instead of going out straight like all of the other fingers ---

What’s not to like? Are there people who actually don’t like theirs? I would find it so weird to have a thumb that went straight like my other fingers! ---

> [@GregP](#): > > I would find it so weird to have a thumb that went straight like my other fingers! Got a mate like that, his thumb looks like a sausage… it’s strange. Mine 'hikes to an extent, but its got nothing on my fathers… his bends pretty much 90 degree backwards. I never really give any thought to it. I’m more indifferent to actually “liking” it. ---

I have one, but it causes me intense pain, it helps with chopsticks tricks, but that’s all. The pain is I have a double joint in my thumb and it constantly snaps, crackles, and pops. I need to get it checked out. In school, I have to constantly change to my right hand (ambidextrous) ---

Show the severity of your bend. My left thumb bends further than my right. ---

> [@GregP](#): > > What’s not to like? Are there people who actually don’t like theirs? I would find it so weird to have a thumb that went straight like my other fingers! I’m the exact opposite! I have a normal thumb and think that it would be so weird to have a hitchiker’s thumb. ---

> [@Filledwithfire](#): > > Show the severity of your bend. > My left thumb bends further than my right. Dang that thumb bends way back! Mine is just completely straight. No bend at all, even if I try and force it to bend by pulling on it, it still won’t bend…
