I don't watch anything remotely 'Reality' type TV shows. This equates to not watching much TV these days....

I take my socks off without using my hands. I drag my feet along the floor and off they come. Can be done in a split second.

My husband thinks I am a complete weirdo when I do it. Saves effort at the end of the day when you are tired tho!

Yes, but doesn't that rather imply that left-handed people might unexpectedly be propositioned by antediluvian friends of Dorothy?

So do I but only because I broke my right hand years ago hitting someone.

I also pee standing up. I think this makes me different from most women, other than Mexican lesbians.

I usually get it in the bowl. This makes me different from all teenage males.
